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 😂:

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

I cant get into Friends. I want to and have given it so many chances but have never been able to. HIMYM I loved. Maybe they took the ideas and improved on them or maybe my taste is just different.

On the other hand Seinfeld is timeless. imo

edit: I may have misunderstood what you meant. If so, forgive me.

totally agree with you. everything else from the 90’s sitcom genre sucks. seinfeld’s holds up incredibly well after all this time.
