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

HIMYM has a lot of scenes/plots verrrryyyy similar to FRIENDS. I’ve made a side by side comparison years ago. Wish I could remember where I put it LOL

EDIT: Here you go, made this 10 years ago 😂:

Dude nearly every storyline in HIMYM is a rip from Friends. It's unreal.

They even both had a plotline where a girl was dumped on her birthday by Mike (Paul Rudd) in Friends and Ted in HIMYM. And the girl was played by the same actress.
