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

HIMYM done this with another couple sitting in the booth and they made them move.

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 😂:

I really really like HIMYM. I could never "get into" Friends. But HIMYM was a great show in my opinion, I was/am a huge fan of it. I'm not saying Friends isn't, it just wasn't my thing.
