Himym is honestly such a good series. It's not only funny, with the most amazing running jokes, but it is also paired up with some serious dramatic moments that make your heart heavy. Would absolutely love to see you reacting to the whole show!
Imo, HIMYM compares to Friends in only shallow ways. HIMYM is so much more creative. Friends couldn't have gotten away with some of the out of the box comedy that they did here, can you imagine Friends doing a musical episode? No. It just wouldn't have worked. Friends was so one dimensional compared to HIMYM.
Ngl, Friends, Buffy and HIMYM are like the trifecta of shows that I tend to rewatch, but HIMYM is definitely my favorite, and I cannot wait for you to continue with this show! If you enjoyed Friends, you will absolutely have a blast with this show! And, honestly, for how well loved this show is, not many people have reacted to it, since so many reactors have already watched it. So here is my wholehearted endorsement! :)
For the longest time, FRIENDS was my favourite sitcom, then HIMYM came and changed everything. I did watch Modern Family too and I did enjoy the initial seasons a lot but then it got very boring. I tried to stick around but I couldn’t bring myself to continue it. It would be sad to see you go through that as well. But with HIMYM you will enjoy every episode as much as u enjoyed FRIENDS and tbh it is more emotionally driven and will definitely have an impact in your life (u will understand what i mean after you watch it). Trust me! This one is the better choice. Or do us a favour and watch both the show simultaneously and make us all happy 😭
You’ll love this show because it actually has a story line and keeps you vested in it and doesn’t feel just like another episode…. Yes there are filler episodes but there’s a heart behind it and iconic
I love HIMYM!! Personally I think that as far as reactions go this one might be more fun to comment on. It's filmed and written in such a unique way, while modern family is as well, something about this show is just so different!
@thatgirlwearingglasses I'd definitely have to disagree with you there. The way the story is told from Ted's future perspective is absolutely a unique take. Especially for a sitcom from 2005. The way Ted tells the story, and jumps around and at times is a completely unreliable narrator makes the show incredibly different from a writing perspective. Three of the episodes that comes to mind would be "The Mermaid Theory", "The Burning Beekeeper" and "How Your Mother Met Me." As a fantasy and sci-fi nerd I can say I've definitely seen tv shows and movies whose concept is incredibly different and out there and of course I'm not saying HIMYM is on that level. But for a sitcom that came out in the mid 2000s it's definitely different. I would say that if you compare this show to Friends, Seinfeld, King of Queens, Big Bang Thoery, etc. It's pretty easy to see that HIMYM definitely stands out with the way the story is portrayed!
I’ve watched both FRIENDS and HIMYM a gazillion times but HIMYM holds a special place in my heart simply because its not just funny but has so many life lessons and serious discussions that have had a huge impact on me. I think Nick will really enjoy watching HIMYM more than Modern Family because Modern Family tends to get boring after 5-6 seasons, meanwhile no episode of HIMYM is ever boring. Yes, the ending is controversial, but that will only make this ride more fun as we can hear Nick’s opinion about it.
My issue with HIMYM compared to Friends is that it’s not as balanced like Friends. The later seasons of HIMYM are just not on the same level as earlier seasons. By a lot. And it’s probably because it got ridiculous to still not see the mother in whatever season 8, it really dragged on. And I really loved the show but I never rewatched it because of how much I got bored in some of the later episodes. So I only rewatched some individual episodes but never the whole show. With Friends, I rewatched every episode countless times. HIMYM should have had 5 seasons just because of the storyline setup. And it would be a perfect show.
I think a plus point for himym is that it’s very consistent. It has the longest living running gags and plays a lot with flashbacks (I mean the whole series is a giant flashback) and the costume and set designers are doing a really good job of staying consistent without huge continuity errors. I watched this show a million times and I still find things that were shortly mentioned in the first season and had a payback later on. In this show you can be sure that anytime a character (mostly ted) says that something will happen later on in the story or sth along the lines of: „I once fell into an elephant enclosure“, it will come back either as a scene or a mention. I just feel like this makes himym really special
HIMYM is the show some FRIENDS fans watch as a nicotine patch after they finish FRIENDS because of the similarities... But I actually like it more than FRIENDS
I am here because my girlfriend told me to watch this video as many times as I can, as she needs HIMYM to be picked over Modern Family. Really hope my views and comment help win the poll. For the past two years, she has been religiously waiting for your Friends reactions every Friday, and she has been telling me how she'd be the happiest person if you choose HIMYM as your next series. So I am here to do my part for her happiness 😅
Dang if you prefer this over modern family youre SIIIICK. Just kidding ofc :D But I really think when it comes to writing and filming modern family is better in all aspects
@@BIJAKK3 oh my god how can you take this so serious, where did I not let you live? Just an opinion, but it's OK if it hurts your feelings I won't respond anymore.like wtf
@@fritzschnitzmueller3768lol do you even know the meaning of “live, let live” ? It’s a mantra that basically means minding one’s business. The commenter meant that he doesn’t care what you think about his opinion nor does he care about yours. It simply means you enjoy your life and let him enjoy his. You’re the one who is taking it seriously. At least get a brain before arguing in social media for petty reasons.
You don't know how much I have wanted you to react to HIMYM!! Please continue! I love both Friends and HIMYM, but always found myself relating more to these characters. Thank you!!!!
As someone who owns every season of friends, how i met your mother is the better choice for what to watch next, I do like modern family too but I hope you continue this story first!
Oooh, this is SO interesting! I've never seen Modern Family, but I was a fan of HIMYM and watched it in real time from mid-season 6 to the very end, before I ever binged through Friends in 2015. And while I do love Friends far more, and HIMYM now has a complicated and bittersweet memory because of its fucked up finale, I would be VERY intrigued to go through the journey with you, Nick, as my favorite series reactor! I say go for it! EDIT: "Little flashback in episode 1" Oh yeah, get used to it, this show just might be 50% flashback, HIMYM LOVES its flashbacks! ;)
I also watched it live. But the finale season and particularly the finale was so messed up. It tainted the series for me and even today I cannot re-watch it.
HIMYM is a much better transition from Friends than Modern Family. I think both shows are great but if I had to choose, this one is far superior in my opinion. I would follow you through this entire series just like Friends ❤
My favorite thing about HIMYM is the running gags. They really, really commit to the bit in this show. I think the only show I can think of that does that particular thing better is Arrested Development, and I love AD, so it's probably no surprise I like HIMYM so much. HIMYM also walks the line between absurd, pure comedy and actual heart and character development very well a lot of the time. I think this show would be much more fun to go through in this reaction format than modern family because there are so many really well known recurring gags that I think everyone who has seen the show will anticipate you getting to, enjoy seeing you react to, and enjoy seeing how often you catch the references/ recurrences of past jokes because it does happen A LOT in this show.
What's great about HIMYM is that it does a lot of really, really cool narrative stuff: it plays with its timeline, with unreliable narrators, and uses stuff like the Rashomon effect that you don't expect from a TV show. And it does some of the most amazing callbacks to itself and turns things that you think are one-offs into motifs throughout the series. Plus, if you're a music fan, this show is like a treasure trove of great music (including the best music callback in TV history, for a Pavement song called "Spit on a Stranger").
HIMYM has a special place in my heart because it's what my husband and I watched together when we first met and dated in college. But Modern Family is so funny as well. Hard to choose.
How I met your mother is absolutley the best sitcom. Cause it seems like a normal commedy but is actually a dramedy. Because this show have also sad and realistic moment. I hope you choose this one! Who agrees?
I just started watching this series last year! Currently in season 7. I laugh during every episode, loving it so far! I hope you keep watching it, so I can watch again with you.
@Squarecubez @Joatoto I can agree with all of that! You do have to take the jokes and themes with a grain of salt sometimes. These sitcoms are a product of their times. They can still be enjoyed though.
With you watching Friends, I was thinking of doing a rewatch of HIMYM, so this is perfectly timed. Friends was a bit before my time, but this one came out when I was the appropriate age to watch it, so this one resonates with me a bit more. Hope this series is up next, but if I need to wait, I'll wait in anticipation!
How I Met Your Mother is my favorite sitcom, over friends. I think it does an amazing job of bringing in real life situations, and handling serious events. It makes you laugh and cry. It's aged though and Barney can be gross but Neil Patrick Harris makes him lovable. You see a deeper side to him and see him grow.
My favourite sitcom after the office and imo HIMYM has a lot more “emotional” moments, modern family is great too but I feel nothing comes even remotely close to some of the big hitters in this show, Masterpieces
all the characters were perfectly cast in this just like friends and big bang theory thats why they lasted over 10 seasons each, i actually miss this show i might rewatch it
the idea that this show is the same as friends is stupid - what show is not about friends - most sticoms are about friend groups - that does not make them the same - same when people say TBBT is the same as friends - sienfeld came before friends - sienfeld was about a group of friends - you never hear any one say friends is like sienfeld -
I love this show! I would love to see your reactions to it. Especially how good they are at keeping the timeline in order and like There's a bunch of flashbacks As you've already noted and they're really really good about keeping it all in track! This is 1 of my shows that I will go back and watch anytime! it's just hilarious through and through and there are some heart felt story lines as well!
Please watch this, its similar to friends but with so much more heart and the storytelling is great too as it is Non linear. You will definitely love it !!
this is definitely the best sitcom in my opinion because the way the story is told and its emotional ups and downs which other shows don't have like friends which is a little bit light hearted and more like kids friendly
IMO NO SHOW U WILL EVER WATCH comes close to Friends merely in terms of the joke intensity and hilariousness in dialogue and writing! Modern family is 2nd in terms of being funny.. Both modern n himym have emotional and heartwarming last 5 mins of every episode. Himym has fantasy and a whimsical feel to it. At times it's very deep, philosophical n melancholic- makes me cry..but it's not that funny. No show in the world has made my stomache ache from laughing like Friends has n I know 3 languages!!
Modern Family is great, and you def need to watch it as soon as you can. But after Friends, I think HIMYM is a more fitting show to explore after coming off of watching Friends you can draw interesting parallels between Friends and HIMYM, but the latter has a unique tone, style, and narrative structure that sets it apart. Its a mix of comedy/satire and a bit of dramatic scenarios.
YES!!! Now this is the True Successor to Friends, Keep this up and I will happily watch every episode. I mean, how can you go wrong with Willow Rosenberg and Doogie Howser? Edit: Also, if you continue, I'd suggest including Quỳnh on these, since a central theme of the show is romance (plus, she's friggin' hilarious and awesome).
3:59 Yup, that's Agent Maria Hill, from Marvel (Cobie Smulders). She's nearly as Nifty as Alyson Hannigan.😻 She also starred in a great but short-lived series called "Stumptown" with Jake Johnson (who was in "New Girl", the show that should probably be in competition with this one for your next watch, if only your advisors were better judges of entertainment). 😉
Wait, Nick is doing How I Met Your Mother??? This is going to be awesome!!! Given, Friends and Big Bang might be better in terms of originality, but this sitcom has always been the most relatable to me. Nick, If you see this, you're going to have a ball with this. I think you'll relate to Marshall the most.😁👍🏻
Please react to this on next!!!! It’s got some of the best long term bits throughout the show and one off scenes that connect the entire series. I love this show and it’s a good transition from friends!
Never seen modern family but HIMYM will always be in the top five of favorite comic series, and I will be there if you continue with this path, I enjoyed so much your friends reactions, love from Mexico.
This show is legen wait for and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is dairy. Legendary! Please continue reacting to this show. It would be great to hear your thoughts on the storyline and character developments throughout the 9 seasons. I have heard great things about Modern Family but in addition to Friends, HIMYM is one of my comfort shows that I quote all the time. It was everything to me in highschool and every once in a while, I like to put certain episodes on while I eat breakfast with my dog or do my laundry. It’s like hanging out with friends.
Oh yes! This is a loooong ten years series! But as epic as friends! Btw! They all good but Neil Patrick Harris steals the show!

How I met your mother is one of the few sit-coms that has an overall story beside the episodic ones Also it has some of the most hilarious jokes and cameos in sit-com
I love Friends and How I met How I met did some things better than Friends, but most of the times it's so inspired its borderline copy paste. But it's like an alternative version, so it never bothered me too much. I love the characters, some jokes are absolute masterpiece, it has great cameos, etc.. Its a great show !
oh MAN. i’m gonna warn you well in advance- the finale of this show will make you want to rip your hair out. i started to binge it at the beginning of the last season and if i had been a loyal watcher throughout the series and gotten attached to the characters then i would’ve screamed my lungs out at the end. holy hell in a handbasket. good luck, my friend.
I was wondering if this should be mentioned. As someone who followed this show from S1, witnessing live that mess of a finale was infuriating. It was GoT, Lost and SPN finales level of terrible.
@dresden123456 right?? i browsed the comments and i was like “…did these people watch the whole show?” i’m so sorry you had to deal with it ❤️ what a freaking trainwreck.
I adore this show so much it definitely brings the vibes of friends but definitely time era appropriate! I def recommend watching this the whole way through!
Ok, now I’m extremely torn because i love this series and Modern Family, and i think you will love both as well. But HIMYM is one of the best sitcoms of all time and has such an incredible cast with amazing chemistry. I’ll be happy either direction you go in, but I really hope you keep going with this one (and also come back to Modern Family as well down the road!)
I definitely think HIMYM is better to react to because it has more emotional moments, character development, gut punches and shocking moments. Modern Family is more consistently funny but I can definitely point out more specific HIMYM moments I’d be excited to see you react to.
Himym is honestly such a good series. It's not only funny, with the most amazing running jokes, but it is also paired up with some serious dramatic moments that make your heart heavy. Would absolutely love to see you reacting to the whole show!
The countdown! 😭😭
The Time Travelers episode is my personal favourite. The ending gets me every time 😭
For real some episodes are really so heavy.
Imo, HIMYM compares to Friends in only shallow ways. HIMYM is so much more creative. Friends couldn't have gotten away with some of the out of the box comedy that they did here, can you imagine Friends doing a musical episode? No. It just wouldn't have worked. Friends was so one dimensional compared to HIMYM.
"It's going to be legen...wait for it...dary!"
LEGENDARY❤
😅😅😅
Let's be honest, we're all here for Ranjit. He is the real star of the show.
Hello!
Absolutely
Ranjit > JLo
Oh 100%.
That’s right! He’s always been there at the important moments

Clicked so fast😂

A lot of this show didn't age very well. Do agree that it stays in your heart though
@ Yeah basically all sitcoms before the 2010s aged poorly. I think still it is hilarious.

An excellent choice for the next series. I’m not that into modern family but I’d definitely follow this all the way to the end!
I’m a Mexican, and I approve this message.
Modern Family is just for the laughs tbh. How I met your mother will have you waiting impatiently for the next episode each time.
I never got into Modern Family either...I tried a few times but it's not for me.
@@little7redifythe first few seasons are fun then suddenly you question how you’re living your life 😂
wow. i never knew so many people had such bad taste like this honestly
The show has fantastic editing. Unlike most other sitcoms. It really stands out.

i would love for you to do this one first. i think this is a good one and i think that its referenced a fair amount so its good to have that context.

I like HIMYM, but 100% agreed. More excited for Modern Family.
Agreed, Modern Family next please. #Vote #ModernFamilh
It's gotta be How I Met Your Mother, and should watch with your girl. Guaranteed to make you laugh, cry and laugh-cry.

YES!!! Now this is the True Successor to Friends, Keep this up and I will happily watch every episode. I mean, how can you go wrong with Willow Rosenberg and Doogie Howser?
Edit: Also, if you continue, I'd suggest including Quỳnh on these, since a central theme of the show is romance (plus, she's friggin' hilarious and awesome).
3:59 Yup, that's Agent Maria Hill, from Marvel (Cobie Smulders). She's nearly as Nifty as Alyson Hannigan.😻 She also starred in a great but short-lived series called "Stumptown" with Jake Johnson (who was in "New Girl", the show that should probably be in competition with this one for your next watch, if only your advisors were better judges of entertainment). 😉
This is absolutely my comfort show. I will watch you react to this whole thing
Wait, Nick is doing How I Met Your Mother???
This is going to be awesome!!! Given, Friends and Big Bang might be better in terms of originality, but this sitcom has always been the most relatable to me.
Nick, If you see this, you're going to have a ball with this. I think you'll relate to Marshall the most.😁👍🏻
i def want to follow your reactions to this show!!! 😊
Please react to this on next!!!! It’s got some of the best long term bits throughout the show and one off scenes that connect the entire series. I love this show and it’s a good transition from friends!
OMG! How I met your mother shares my ❤ with Friends..
Lets gooo how i met your mother!!! There are almost no reactions to HIMYM so i would love it if you reacted to it.
Never seen modern family but HIMYM will always be in the top five of favorite comic series, and I will be there if you continue with this path, I enjoyed so much your friends reactions, love from Mexico.
hope you keep reacting to how i met your mother, it's super good!
OH YAY! I’ve been asking for this for ages, please do HIMYM!
Let’s gooooooo, this is one of my favourite shows ever
This show is legen wait for and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is dairy. Legendary!
Please continue reacting to this show. It would be great to hear your thoughts on the storyline and character developments throughout the 9 seasons.
I have heard great things about Modern Family but in addition to Friends, HIMYM is one of my comfort shows that I quote all the time. It was everything to me in highschool and every once in a while, I like to put certain episodes on while I eat breakfast with my dog or do my laundry. It’s like hanging out with friends.
Oh yes! This is a loooong ten years series! But as epic as friends! Btw! They all good but Neil Patrick Harris steals the show!
How I met your mother is one of the few sit-coms that has an overall story beside the episodic ones
Also it has some of the most hilarious jokes and cameos in sit-com
Yaaaaaasss! I will watch it tomorrow but I'm so happy you've picked this one 😍😍😍
I'll definitely watch himym! Never watched Modern Family.
Def get your girlfriend in on this too! Friends is a classic, but HIMYM is a good spiritual successor of sorts. xD
GOATED show !
I love Friends and How I met
How I met did some things better than Friends, but most of the times it's so inspired its borderline copy paste.
But it's like an alternative version, so it never bothered me too much. I love the characters, some jokes are absolute masterpiece, it has great cameos, etc..
Its a great show !
I’m not a huge sitcom person, but I really enjoy HIMYM.
Love himym I know you’ll do both eventually as you say but I’m rooting for this one. Happy day!
i live himym non linear story tellings and twists 😅
lol love your references to their other shows 😂
I’m not ready to lose a long sitcom reactions from you .. really hope this will win
this is amazing. you gained a sub nicky boy
This is such a great show, you should definitely watch it. Modern Family too, just do both, it doesn't have to be a competition.
oh MAN. i’m gonna warn you well in advance- the finale of this show will make you want to rip your hair out. i started to binge it at the beginning of the last season and if i had been a loyal watcher throughout the series and gotten attached to the characters then i would’ve screamed my lungs out at the end. holy hell in a handbasket. good luck, my friend.
I was wondering if this should be mentioned. As someone who followed this show from S1, witnessing live that mess of a finale was infuriating. It was GoT, Lost and SPN finales level of terrible.
@dresden123456 right?? i browsed the comments and i was like “…did these people watch the whole show?” i’m so sorry you had to deal with it ❤️ what a freaking trainwreck.
Yes!! Great choice. Please stick with this series! Yes, it's Friends on silly steroids.
I love this series, i will be there for every upload ❤
i'm so excited for this!!! HIMYM is my favorite sitcom 🥹
SAME!
yeees, just leaving a comment for you to go for himym
I adore this show so much it definitely brings the vibes of friends but definitely time era appropriate! I def recommend watching this the whole way through!
This is a comment to support you watching this show
Ok, now I’m extremely torn because i love this series and Modern Family, and i think you will love both as well. But HIMYM is one of the best sitcoms of all time and has such an incredible cast with amazing chemistry. I’ll be happy either direction you go in, but I really hope you keep going with this one (and also come back to Modern Family as well down the road!)
Lily throughout this series feels like season 1-2 Willow in the best way possible.
I definitely think HIMYM is better to react to because it has more emotional moments, character development, gut punches and shocking moments. Modern Family is more consistently funny but I can definitely point out more specific HIMYM moments I’d be excited to see you react to.
Really glad you're watching this. I hope you both watch it together like you're already doing with Friends
