Definitive Proof That “Friends” And “How I Met Your Mother” Are Basically The Same Show

THE SETTING

1. Both shows are about a group of white 20-something going about their lives in NYC.

2.   Both Friends and How I Met Your Mother have their regular hangouts where they often chill during normal working hours.

3. Also, a hangout place isn’t complete without a regular barista/bartender – Gunter and Carl

Best and Worst Couple of Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl were a guy instead of a TV show, he’d be the really sexy guy you completely fall for immediately, slowly realize he’s the worst and constantly disappointing you, yet keep hooking up with him sporadically for the next five years.

Or maybe that’s just me and everyone else has already given up on the scandalous Upper East Siders, but I still have a soft spot for it despite despairing of its many ridiculous plot lines and openly laughing at the dramatic death scene we saw last week. It’s definitely time for the show to end, but I’m still feeling a little nostalgic remembering all the good times. (Need to get caught up on everything that’s happened?

And of course, the best times of the show always involved love. Since just about everyone on the show has hooked up at one point it was hard to keep this from becoming a novel, but here’s our condensed list of the couples that worked, and the couples that should have been banned from Manhattan.

Best: Chuck and Blair

6 Best Friends Episodes

“Friends” is on netflix right now, just in time for your one weirdo friend to be like, “I’ve never seen ‘Friends’! I’ll binge watch it!” (She’s such a Phoebe.) In an attempt to tackle all 236 episodes, here’s a list of the ones that you (and your Phoebe friend) absolutely, no-questions-asked must watch right away. We’ve got the one where Joey puts his head inside a turkey, the one where Ross yells “PIVOT” a lot and the one with the lobsters.

1. Season 4, Episode 12: “The One With The Embryos”

Best line: “Actually, it’s Miss Chanandler Bong.”
Why watch it? What starts as a friendly bet ends in an apartment switcheroo and the revelation that nobody knows what Chandler actually does for work. (He’s not a “transponster,” for the record.)

2. Season 3, Episode 2: “The One Where No One’s Ready”

Best line: “Look at me, I’m Chandler, could I be wearing any more clothes?”
Why watch it? Couch cushions make great hostages.

Nate and Serena (Gossip Girl)

The relationship between Nate and Serena, also known as Serenate, is the friendship and former romantic relationship between Serena van der Woodsen and Nate Archibald.

In the Gossip Girl novel series, Serena and Nate are on-again, off-again. They lose their virginity to each other in the series prequel, It Had To Be You, during the summer before Serena leaves for boarding school. Once Serena returns, their antics often lead to the break-ups of Blair and Nate. Serena realizes her love for Nate at various points in the series. One of the main reasons stopping their relationship is that their best friend, Blair Waldorf, is also in love with Nate. In the final book, I Will Always Love You, Nate chooses Blair in Part I and then Serena in Part II. In the end, Nate ends up with neither, and Blair and Serena go off together as best friends on vacation.

In the 1st season, when Serena returns, Nate hopes to give their relationship a real chance. But Serena refuses, saying ,”I didn’t come back for you. Look, Blair’s my best friend, and you’re her boyfriend, and she loves you.” However, Serena still agrees to meet up with Nate to talk with about their current situation.
