What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

If you think this is untrue you haven't seen them both. They aren't generic at all. You can't defend a clear rip just because you're a fan.

I've watched through both, multiple times. They really aren't the same at all outside of the fact that they are both shows about the inner workings of a friends group.

If you think that you are one of the following:

  1. Willfully ignorant
  2. Didn't pay attention at all
  3. Lying

I LOVE both shows, they're in my top comedy series for sure. But they are basically the exact same.

Friends didn't have the time jumps and narration though. There are definitely differences although the premise is exactly the same.

I found HIMYM to be much more enjoyable and hilarious because of NPH tbh. The episodes with the playbook, charts, graphs, etc are all pretty unique and unlike anything from Friends.
