FRIENDS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'll choose friends
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER IS BETTER
Oh bullshit Joey is the best.
Don't agree with HIMYM not getting relationships. Especially when friends has Ross and Rachel the two most annoying characters on the show. Lily and marshal should have got that one.
HIMYM is betterrrrrrr
who would even discuss this. HIMYM is the clear Winner. It's the only show that can really get to your heart. I almost wish i wouldn't have watched it beacuse it's so good that i can't find a better show. HIMYM is the greatest thing ever made! It's genius
HIMYM all the way fuck freinds
HIMYM is legen… wait for it DAIRY!
You didn't mention Robin Williams in friends
Friends > himym
Barney > any character in friends
Guys friends will always win
Too much comedy in friends and too much feels in himym
It should be 4-1 for himym
This competition is subjective. There is no definitive winner because we all have differing opinions in what makes a better show. In my opinion, HIMYM is a better show, overall. I have watched both shows and I grew up watching friend when it was a part of the “must see tv” lineup. Was one of my favorite shows ever! But then just in 2013 I began watching HIMYM and to me,’it is a better show. The storyline and storytelling of the show alone make it a better show. Also, if you really want to compare the characters, which I don’t suggest doing, but Ted is a better hopeless romantic loser, Rachel is hot, but Robin has such a better personality, Lilly I wouldn’t compare to anybody, but she’s awesome. Marshall is maybe a hybrid of Chandler and Joey. And Barney….his character some makes HIMYM better than Friends. Phoebe would be Friends’ defining character, and while she’s great….Barney is so much better! Barney is HIMYM!
himym isn't even close to friends
I love both, maybe himym a little better but I also love Friends i dont get why it just cant be both
One was epic (Friends) while one was Legen- wait for it dary
Bullshit
yeah friends is the best
Was Jennifer Aniston anything before friends? They talk about star power and I don't remember her having any before the show.
Himym
Living Single was just as good as both these shows and had a lot more color… LOL
This is dumb himym is so much better, friends is so bad
GAVE THE CORRECT VERDICT GUYS
himym it's the best show in the world
Like/Dislike ratio portrays the amount of Fans. Friends = 28k. HIMYM = 14k
I always compared Barney to Phoebe. They both really annoyed me sometimes with their weird personalities. Maybe Joey and Barney both talked women into sleeping with them but Barney was just the worst. The way he lied to women and treated them is just inexcusable although it is just a show. It wasn't even funny his behaviour. Just Down right annoying. I felt like Barney was there to entertain 13 year old boys watching who think that behaviour is still cool and funny.
For me Phoebe and Barney were just there as an extra annoying character that was needed to make the show and the group of friends complete.
Both are legendary but i like friends more
