  • One major difference btwn Friends and HIMYM is HIMYM is bit more mature in terms of people.. educated with good jobs and talk more real stuff.. they point out so many stuff which is really happening in our mid twenties life.. Frnds was more of fun and i feel HIMYM is more of knowledge of me.. how they easily explain lot of aspects of life in HIMYM is awesome.. Cant compare.. it wont be fair.. i feel HIMYM is next level of friends.. The way they end every episode with a lesson is sopper awesome

  • press 3 ;DD

  • I don't know why you guys always compare HIMYM and Friends, I mean, the characters are a little similar between them, but the plot is different. And you CAN'T compare Barney with Joey!! I mean, Barney is legendary. And the couple he makes with Robin is perfect!

  • @deenise9 well sorry but joey is also known for sleeping with alot of girls and not calling them back, plus he had a little thing with Rachel

  • press 5 hahahah :D

  • I don't even watch how I met your mother. Youtube please stop recommending videos for me.

  • @mmeister2 If you didn't want to watch it. Why did you click on it? You love it.

  • @Keymikkel I meant I don't watch the series... which I don't. I never said I didn't want to watch this video. I was just wondering why it was recommended when I'm pretty sure I've never watched any related videos.

  • i know im annoying, but what episode is this?

  • If Ted = Ross and Robin = Rachel, Ted and Robin better end up together like Ross/Rachel did!

  • Ross- ted (smart)

    monica- lilly (meddlesome)

    chandler- marshal (funny)

    rachel- robin (outsider/new)

    joey- barney (man whore)

    I love both shows. There are some similarities. Both in NY, they hangout at a bar and in friends it's a coffee shop that used to be a bar.

  • Pres 3 the whole time.

  • "Here's the thing you only learn AFTER you move in with a girl: All your stuff is stupid." – Lily

  • press 1 the whole time xD

  • which episode is this?

    

  • I would miss ted's TV...

  • we are very undecided

  • I 'love' it when the top 2 comments are responses to a comment that I can't even find.

  • @netxposeidon go to all comments, press ctrl+F or F3 and type the commenter's username.

  • OMG! Comparing Friends with himym is like comparing chocolate to a computer. They're both good in their specific way, but they have nothing in common

  • @CaptainSkaj I agree you shouldn't compare friends with himym but they are very similar. So similar that the writers even made a tip of the hat to friends in one episode where the guys all went to a coffee shop.

  • @niceredmost I can agree that they are in some ways similar, a group of friends living in New York... and some similar conflicts of them in Friends.

    But that episode made fun of friends rather than tipping their hats ;)

    I actually think both shows are as good as one another :)

  • @CaptainSkaj Aw, I don't think they were making fun of Friends. The guys were just being their normal bar-loving selves. xD The writers know how good Friends was, they wouldn't make fun of it knowing that many of their watchers are Friends fans. In fact, I think that many Friends fans got excited when that reference was made, including me. :)

    Yeah, they're both equally great.

  • @niceredmost I was excited as well xD

    Come to think about it.... Joey and Barney are kind of the same character....

  • @CaptainSkaj They are. Except I personally think Joey is more tame and less over the top. xD

    And Ted really reminded me of Ross in a way.

  • @CaptainSkaj They have everything in common! I think they are both really great shows but they are exactly the same and SO much of HIMYM's material comes from Friends. Think about it - Ted's very talkative girlfriend marries a deaf guy. Janice marries a deaf guy. So many other moments too.

  • @emmadilemmasings They do not have everything in common. Friends - six friends Himym - five friends Friends - one brother and sister in the same crew Himym - noooo Himym - take place in 2030 Friends - takes place around 2000 Himym - The plot concentrates on how Ted meets the mother (barneys sister probably) Friends - doesn't have a concentrated plot And so on and so on. But they do have things in common, (like chocolate and computers) ;) but just for that, doesn't mean they are the same show :D
  • @CaptainSkaj barney's sister? explain pleaase

  • @LazarSavkovic barneys sister goes to college, shes going to be at the wedding, so if never barney fell in love with robin and married her they would never had meet, AND Ted leaves the yellow umbrella in the student appartment.

    thats why it makes sense ;)

  • @CaptainSkaj damn that does make sense..and that would make ''uncle barney'' and ''aunt robin'' really the kids' uncle and aunt. DUUUDE!

  • @CaptainSkaj wait i just remembered he adresses marshall and lilly also as unce and aunt...

  • @LazarSavkovic yeah ;) but that's just being polite ^^

  • @z24baller who's phoebe? 

  • i watch himym just for barney, he is awesome.... but in friends all the characters are awesome.... there is a not single episode which is boring, in himym there are many episodes which let you down...

  • ok himym is not friends. in himym, ted is the main character. in friends, there is no main character. and friends was for a slightly older generation, where the humor was a bit different. but based on popularity, friends wins. EVERYONE in the whole world knows what friends is. not sure about himym.

    i like them both, but if i had to choose, friends kicks ass :)

  • @UltraMushroom I effing love friends (:

    I like HIMYM as well, but it's got nothing on Friends. I have all 10 seasons and I watch them fairly often. The funny thing is they started making Friends the year I was born =P and yet I still watch them even though they are completely out of my generation lol

  • Comment removed

  • @z24baller Are you kidding me? Chandler = Marshall? Barney is a combination of Chandler and Joey, Joey's sex appeal with Chandler's sarcasm. Marshall can't be comparated to anyone on Friends, he's a hole new character.

  • I preffer Friends simply because they are more spontaneous and a joke can occur at any time without even expecting it... While in How I met Your Mother, half the times, they give it away pretty easily. If it weren't for Barney, the show wouldn't be half of what it is! I love it though, awesome show

  • @Pintoleite3 I know right..thats what I am saying since second season ..without Barney this sitcom would be a goner.He is carrying the weight of the show on his shoulders alone

  • @mihirjagger I'm sorry man but you can not be serious ! After what you just said, it's like saying that Barney is the most important character in the show and the others are like "secondary" . I'm sure if it wasn't for ted and marshall and the girls then the show WOULD be a goner !

    Plus a lot of people compare Joey from friends to Barney, And of course everybody loved him just like they love Barney. When Friends ended and Joey had his own show did it work ?

    But Barney is still Awesome.

  • stop comparing rachel and robin, robin's an independent badass and rachel was kind of doormat

  • Phoebe = Ranjit ... both taxi drivers

  • @ganglionyx Hahaha... nicee!

  • It has been many years and I dont remember much about friends but everytime I watch HIMYM I just feel that I have seen this before.Being a fan myself I think that its one of the best sitcoms after friends but no one cant deny the fact that they have both so much in common.

  • 7. Barney-Joe falling for Robin-Rachel despite the fact that they are their best friend's love interest.

    8. Ted - Ross are both college professor and dating their students and are bit boring when they start talking about their respective fields.

    9. Emily-Stella dont want Ross-Ted to be around Rachel-Robin

    10.Intervention (HIMYM) episode is similar to the one just like in friends where characters points out each others shortcomings and faults.

  • 3. Common friend from college (ted - Ross) who is looking for serious relationship and fall in love with the girl who just joined the group (Robin-Rachel).

    4. Both girls arent happy career wise and wants a better job .The new job that were offered are outside the country (robin-Japan , rachel-Paris).

    5. Barney-Joe who just want to hook up with random girls and opposite of Ted-Ross in terms of relationship

    6. Married couple trying to have a baby

  • Well I watched all seasons of friends and HIMYM and the similarities are uncanny.Well I always say HIMYM is 'Friends without Phoebe'.Here are few things that I have noticed so far

    1 Both Groups go to a same place(Central Park Coffee shop -MAclaren's bar) and sits at the same table (couch in case of friends) in Manhattan ,New York

    2. Married couple who knows each each other from college (Marshall & lily - Chandler & Monica )

  • In my opinion Friends is better because it's more original, HIMYM copied a lot of it. The last season wasn't even that funny with the awful plotline with Zoey and the hotel. In Friends the people are actually growing with the show, Phoebe being less weird and Rachel less spoiled etc. In season 10 of HIMYM Barney will still be like: "LEGENDARY" and Ted's still the hopeless romantic. Also, Friends had an average of 20 mill viewers in the last season, HIMYM is happy with 8 mil. Like the show tough.

  • @Loopy463 it dosent have to be funny. it was being serious. (cue nerdy voice)

    and for youre information, himym cannot have a season ten, because teds kids look at least 16 in the year 2030, and season ten would be in 2015, so ted would have had to get married and impregnate her in about 2 months. LAWYERED!

  • I don't really think the characters are that similar in HIMYM and Friends. I like the characters better in HIMYM, mainly because I thought that Ross and Rachel were kind of annoying. I also like how HIMYM is set up as memories narrated by future Ted.

  • I dont like Robin...

  • @MarinaJohnnyAmanda I LOVE ROBIN

  • i think lily is a mix of Monica and phoebe

  • Where will the wine go?

  • Comment removed

  • Deutsch ( German ):

  • NOT>>>>>>FUNNY

  • "did you get my text" - Umbridge

  • slllllchhh

  • we need wine dont we. Yes you do Ted

  • Oh please. Stop comparing Friends and HIMYM. I love both. Friends got old. But it's great. HIMYM is genius. But would it exist without Friends?

  • @Sharleen974 Yeah HIMYM would be even more popular without Friends.

  • @Beanioski

    lol you suck

  • @hunterofthephoenix ok What ever you say kid.

  • i love that robin's SSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  • @sasad1663 Robin is from Canadia.

    You love Canadia! Fuck off!

  • @newtubetubetube

    you called it canadia retard! its Canada! greatest country in the world (but not its government)

  • @acerpro101 "but not its government"? WTF is that suppose to mean. You got the lame ass government that you deserve. And yes, it is spelled Canadia for you. If you don't understand the joke, fuck off!

  • @newtubetubetube im guessing you're from my country.. (America) you spelled canada wrong and now you try to make a "joke" you're an idiot, i really wish you could be banned from life lol.

  • @boo0oobi3 I spelled Canadia on purpose because it is funny and represent better the shit hole that it is.

    Death treats will get you no where. Next time i will report you to the cyber police.

  • @newtubetubetube one you're an idiot.. whats a death treat? if you're trying to spell threat i didn't threaten you.. but being that you're an inbreed hillbilly you wouldn't know the difference.. go make spelling mistakes elsewhere.. :)

  • @boo0oobi3 Wishing someone to be killed is a death threat. I warned you about replying, but you could not keep your mouth shut. It is too late now, i am reporting you to the cyber police.

  • @newtubetubetube you're a fucking idiot.. i dont understand how you breath.. can you chew gum and turn at the same time?

  • @boo0oobi3 It's "walk and chew gum", not "chew gum and turn". You look like a retard when you say it wrong. Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here. Irony motherfucker, do you use it?

  • @newtubetubetube wrong? actually its used like that.. your insults are lame.. honestly trees dont get out.. go spell Canada wrong on other videos and say its a "joke"

  • @boo0oobi3 WOOOSH! Make like a tree and leave.

    LOL. You are too dumb to understand irony. Fuck off to Canadia!

  • @newtubetubetube are you like trying to be a troll? cuz you really fail lol.. i have had 5 year old kids say smarter things then you lol.. if you're gonna make jokes please for the love of god, make them funny.

  • @newtubetubetube are you like trying to be a troll? cuz you really fail lol.. i have had 5 year old kids say smarter things then you lol.. if you're gonna make jokes please for the love of god, make them funny.

  • @newtubetubetube are you like trying to be a troll? cuz you really fail lol.. i have had 5 year old kids say smarter things then you lol.. if you're gonna make jokes please for the love of god, make them funny.

  • @newtubetubetube man you are so lame i have heard 5 year olds make 3 times smarter things then you.. please if you're gonna make jokes for the love of god, make them funny. :)

  • @sasad1663 Actually I really hate that.

    :)

  • best episode ever

  • i miss these two being together.

  • Comment removed

  • This is how it each character if like friends.

    Ross= Ted

    Rachel=robin

    Chandler=Marshall

    Monica=Lily

    Joey=Barney

  • @z24baller oh! plz

    barney stinson is a legendary character!

    joey isnt even close.

    how cud u evn mix those two??

  • @z24baller IMO, lily is more like phoebe.

  • @z24baller are you high?

  • @z24baller Friends suck, HiMYM kicks friends ass, even when friends is armed with a katana and HiMYM has it hands tied to his back, with a blindfold in front of his eyes.

  • @XFQ19 lol

  • @XFQ19 no because friends have the UNAGI...

  • @z24baller how can u even compare joey and barney both r very different

  • @z24baller what about Pheobe

  • @z24baller aww they are missing a phoebe

  • @z24baller no pheobe??? or pheobe is the "mother" that has yet to show up?

  • @z24baller Phoebe=Ranjit the taxi driver

  • @ossi43 HAHAHAHAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUAH­UUHAHUAAUHAHHUA PHOEBE = RANJIT nice duuuuude

  • @z24baller I actually thought of this last week... I think lily and robin both have a rachel side, robin is more monica and lily is more phoebe...

  • @z24baller WHAT ABOUT PHOEBE?!

  • @z24baller but barney is way more LEGEN- WAIT FOR IT - DARY!!!..

  • @z24baller Close enough. Only Robin isn't as much a b*tch as Rachel was. THEY WERE ON A BREAK! Get over it...

  • @z24baller joey = barney? not at all, rest fits :P

  • @z24baller I sure had fun watching friends, but I think the humor in himym is way more sophisticated and the social relations is more realistic. i.e. in friends ross was weird, joey stupid and chandler an ass making fun about everyone those people would not be friends in a real situation. himym gets it way better.. also great chemistry with the actors.

  • @z24baller,

    And what about Phoebe? :P

    Anyway, I love Friends as much as I love How I Met Your Mother. They're both AMAZING!

  • @z24baller phoebe?

  • @z24baller Difference is, in friends chandler's the funniest and joey is a close 2nd but in himym barney's a second and marshall's 2nd by a far distance

  • @z24baller

    i guess friends used some sort of magical combination of archetypal characters that simply - works.

  • @z24baller The characters of HIMYM are so much more badass.

    HIMYM > Friends.

  • @z24baller dude, I think you forgot one.

  • @z24baller dont think so

    

  • There is no way to compare 'How I Met Your Mother' and 'Friends'. I LMAO with Friends a few years ago. And now I LMAO with HIMYM. They are both just... AWESOME!!

  • @TheMarifreica did u not just compare them with awesomeness ?

  • @TheMarifreica they are both LEGEN.......wait for it, and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the next word is.......DARY!

  • hahahaha Ted looks like Dane Cook

    ...douche

  • Yeah FRIENDS was great but this is LEGENDARY! ;D

  • stop copyng f.r.i.e.n.d.s

  • @episolove haha i like friends...but I find HIMYM more amusing to watch.

  • God why does everynoe keep comparing HIMYM to friends.. friends sucked, it was horrible.. this doesnt D:

  • @Kaedm8 and isn't. :D

  • LOL I LOVE THIS SHOW ITS JUST LIKE FRIENDS TED AND ROBIN = ROSS AND RACHEL!!!!!!!

  • @lilazncookiekid Or maybe it's just like Scrubs - J.D. and Elliot.

    I'm sure there are more.

  • What serial! Man telling the story of 'how he met his wife' to his kids, of how he meets several women, fucked them and broke up etc Basically means both parents were(and are) SLUTs.

    Moreover, it portrays that American people are unfaithfuls, immature, immoral and above all, they justify this kind of SLUT culture! I mean it is one thing to do such things in private(which is still wrong) than to glorify& justify such filthy culture.

  • @ShashiKanary Wow......reading a little too much into it are we?

  • @ShashiKanary Shut up twat. I'd stick around and insult you more but I got an orgy to get to.

  • @Experiment47 yeah you did :p

  • @ShashiKanary wow ... Something tells me that you hate americans, I don't know what, it's just a gutt fealing.

    Also generalizing (wow I totally misspelled that didn't I?" is a really bad thing, that's how many wars have unfold.

  • @ShashiKanary bet you are a muslim who thinks that he's all that

  • @Crunkiness Wrong. I am NOT a musllim and I don't hate America either. But I do pity American slut culture.

  • @ShashiKanary i am not an american myself, but they are just meeting people, getting to know them, sleeping with people makes you a slut? god dammit man, what century are you from?!

  • @Crunkiness So you believe you have to sleep with someone to know them? "Knowing someone" to me means learning about their personality, quirks, etc. ... not how they screw. That's kinda slutty; sleeping with someone while you're still "getting to know them".

  • @Crunkiness whatever century are you in, such behavior describes that you are promiscuous. Accept that and there won't be any problem. Don't try to rationalize like this show does as if it is so 'natural'.

  • @ShashiKanary I agree, this show glorifies jerks and isn't even funny doing it.

  • @HalfwayxThere I feel sorry for whatever shows you watch.

  • @ShashiKanary You're gonna have to define 'slut' before you just start spewing crap about how everyone who has sex is a slut.

  • @matrixphijr Dude... I am against people who try to rationalize such slutty behavior like this show does. I like 'two and a half men' who says outright that the main character is promiscuous.

  • @ShashiKanary Then I guess you'll just have to be against me. You're okay with a show where the main character picks up hookers just for sex because the show clearly states that's how he's supposed to be, but God forbid Ted try to DATE women while looking for someone to marry, because anyone who EVER has sex with more than one person is a slut.

  • @matrixphijr Yeah... because Charlie doesn't rationalize his promiscuous behavior like Ted does. Ted acts as if it is so right and natural to date women and SCREW them just to be sure whether they are compatible or not. Barney is ok I guess because he accepts it. But Ted behaves as if he is not like Barney but is in reality doing the same.

  • @ShashiKanary You just put me at a loss for words, saying it's "okay" when Sheen's and NPH's characters do it, but not Josh's (Ted). I've never once heard Ted say (or in any way have the show indicate) that he's sleeping with women just for the sake of it. The whole point is for him to find his future wife and mother to his children. Is he supposed to get it right on the first try and only ever date one woman? I'm sorry, I just don't understand why you're taking that stance.

  • @matrixphijr You don't need to screw people to know that they are not compatible with you. That is the point. Ted here is rationalizing his promiscuous behavior in the name of finding a suitable wife. Ans he acts as if it is so "natural" and "right". Besides these people are too restless and immature to build a relationship. They break up on silly pretexts and justify them. I know that this a show... blah blah blah. But people should not accept every crap media throw at them.

  • @ShashiKanary I think you do need to have sex with a person to check for compatibility, but I won't argue with your religious/cultural/ethical standpoint, then.

    The one thing that I just can't fathom, though, is how Charlie or Barney get a pass because they're "that type of person" or "their intentions are clear" or whatever the case may be. If anything, I would have had the most problem with Charlie, as much of his behavior (real or fictional) is somewhat disturbing. At any rate, I'll cede.

  • @matrixphijr Yeah... for compatibility with your penis and her vagina, her mouth an your penis, your mouth and her ass, her boobs with your hands and mouth, her vaginal juices for your taste... I get it. This is the compatibility you were referring to I guess... disturbing isn't it. :)

  • @ShashiKanary Not really. I was being serious, if you can understand that. There is a level of sexual compatibility that goes into something like marriage. Sex should be enjoyable, it should be satisfying to both people, and it should be able to stay fresh and exciting. That may mean the frequency, the positions, the foreplay, the mood(s), whatever... (or even what you said, I suppose). Intimacy is part of every relationship. Shouldn't marriage and sex both be at the pinnacle of intimacy?

  • @matrixphijr both of you are annoying and should shut up about this stupid argument thing

  • @buttermequesy You are annoying and should shut up about this stupid argument thing.

    (See what I did there, turn it around on you because you felt the need to chime in on a conversation that's been over for a week?)

  • Oh My God you uncultivated ALL SEASON ARE GOOD ALLL !!!

  • Season 1,2 and 3 was baaaaad, but now it is actually pretty good.

    The first 3 season were just like will they won't they, the same crap all over again and again.

  • season 1, 2 and 3 of himym was wayyy better season 5 and 6. i think it's getting a little lame now

  • plzzzzzzzzzzzz upload some new episodes here ................

  • hey Rock n Roll 1971 ur a crazy person this is the greatest show ever

  • ted always reminds me of the guy from little britain...

  • Every time I watch this show I'm like "God, why don't I have friends like that! Crap, they are just so good!"

  • @gustavlindskog1337 I agree, only I'd give them both higher scores: HIMYM 9.3, friends 9.5 :D

  • Ted: Tell me where my stuff is Barney!!! Barney: This isn't Barney...but I heard thats guy is awesome

  • Honestly, I don't understand the appeal. I thought that by watching some clips I'd get into it. Not working.

  • why do chicks have a problem with everythin that a guy loves?? like TV???

  • @16sohaib

    The correct question should have been "why do chicks have a problem with everythin". And the answer would have been "Because they are chicks."

  • they have hit the stage where its no longer You nor I, it's We

  • does purple wine taste like grape juice?
