How HIMYM ripped off FRIENDS.

Finally I can access my blog without the need of proxy servers, so it's time to start things with a bang! Moving on, to the issue in hand, the so-called comedy "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER". Well, not so-called,it's a good show. But the thing that pisses me off so much is that when people start screaming how it is the BEST comedy ever made! Come one! The only reason you are saying it is the BEST is because it is the ONLY decent comedy show you have ever watched! When compared to FRIENDS,HIMYM is worse than a tapeworm. And I'm pretty sure you have never heard of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT or BIG BANG THEORY. Time to grow up kiddos!

HIMYM is a rip off of Friends and I will prove it you now. Let's start with the core idea, (1) a group of FRIENDS hanging out together, with their individual life story mingling together to give the main theme of the story.In Friends, there were 6 FRIENDS, but in HIMYM there are 5 FRIENDS.Big difference,psst! Both of the shows revolve around the friendship amongst them and their individual trait.(2)The people in HIMYM drinks alcohol in a bar,where as the good people of FRIENDS drink coffee in a cafe.The bar is a rip off of the cafe(clarification for any moron who did not understand this). Friends was released in 1994 and HIMYM in 2005, so logic dictates HIMYM ripped off FRIENDS. Enuff said!

Now lets look at the characters.We all know the favorite character of FRIENDS is undoubtedly Joey, and of HIMYM is Barney.(3)Both of them are womanizer and sleeps with tonnes of women. But the catch is, Joey is utterly dumb and Barney is utterly perverted.This difference do help to make HIMYM take a little bit of limelight.I do like Barney and his BRO CODES.

(4)Lily and Marshal is the reincarnation of Monica and Chandler: loving,caring,and loyal married couples. (5)Both Marshall and Chandler has a disability:they cannot flirt with other women.But the fact that Chandler is infinity times more hilarious than Marshall and his whole frigging family makes FRIENDS the god of comedy of all time.Ok,maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but Friends blows off HIMYM.

Now coming to Ted,how would you describe him? Smart? Organised?Looking for love of his life? Hey wait!? Those are the exact words I would use to describe Ross!Funny coincidence ! Ted is not exactly like Ross, saying that would be lying, but they do have a lot of resemblance. (6)Ted is a huge fan of historical buildings and Ross is obsessed with dinosaurs. Point to be noted,both of them HISTORY written all over them.

Another similarity, (7)the sexual tension of Robin and Ted. This is an exact copy of the friction between Ross and Rachel. This really pisses me off, because the hide and seek game of dating and breaking up of Ross and Rachel was annoying enough, but the hide and seek game of HIMYM is an excruciating annoyance! It took him a whole freaking season for Ted to ask out Robin! It's USA not Saudia Arabia for God's sake!

I have given you 7 good reasons showing how HIMYM tried to rip off FRIENDS but failed miserably.I watched all the 10 seasons of FRIENDS and finished them together.Never once was I bored. I was left out of breath laughing countless time during this period,clutching my stomach, begging myself to stop laughing.If you haven't seen it, kill yourself please.
