Are you a "Friends" person or a "Seinfeld" person?

When I was a kid in the 90's I liked Friends way more. Now, I like Seinfeld way more in comparison. It's aged a lot better.
I was too young to be into Seinfeld (I was in eighth grade when it ended) and too counterculture (nerdy) to watch Friends growing up. So I guess neither.
I became a Frasier person more recently!
I was a Friends person first.
Then Seinfeld.
I can appreciate all of it but I think Seinfeld aligns with me best on average.
I guess I'm a Friends person if these are the only two options. Never enjoyed Seinfeld when I've watched it, but I at least enjoyed Friends when I watched it back when it was new.
Neither, I find both shows to be terrible to be honest. I guess at the time I would have preferred Friends though.
Father Ted, Black Books and Count Arthur Strong are quite popular in my family. I've never been able to watch much of Seinfeld or Friends, they just don't resonate with me, but I know they're both well written and somewhat innovative.
After the Zach/Redford thread, this is funny.Why does Chandler look like Trump these days?
(He doesn't, and let's not mock the way people look anyway...)
Getting a terrible tan is a choice, so I'd say it's ok to mock him for that.
After your comments in the thread I mentioned, it's pretty funny you think his tan is anywhere near Trump...
Hulu's Seinfeld shuffle feature is the greatest streaming invention yet.

Hulu's Seinfeld shuffle feature is the greatest streaming invention yet.
What is this???
For the 30th anniversary, Hulu added a Yadda-Yadda-Yadda shuffle feature on the Seinfeld page. It shuffles and plays random episodes.
I'm a huge Seinfeld fan, watched every episode multiple times. Watching Friends for the very first time now. Seinfeld is definitely far more funny and consistent, there were only a few real dud episodes and characters.
Friends has entire huge chunks of the show that are just utterly mediocre, usually involving Rachel and Ross. Some of the episodes early in the show involving the two of them really make it hard to continue watching. It does get a lot better by season 6 or 7 where it gets a bit more light hearted and breezy. Still, we're at the point where if its a Ross heavy show we are skipping most of it. I can't really say that about any Seinfeld character.
Plus I really, really like how in Seinfeld there is the underlying mandate of "these characters are awful, and they will learn NOTHING." That makes for awesome comedy. Friends tries to be way more sitcom-y with characters growing, learning, etc. Great for real life, not great for a sitcom.
