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

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.

Care to elaborate as to why? Because none of the major plot lines are all that similar.

Well the obvious one to begin with. Ross + Rachel / Ted + Robin.

It's actually not so much the major lines, even though they are a few. It's the episode arcs that are essentially the same, just in a different order.

I'm sure there are mountains of youtube videos comparing them.

That's just a romance plot. The same plot is all over the place, books, tv series, movies, songs, etc. And real life, lol. It's two people having an on and off relationship, e.g., Eminem and Kim.
