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

I love Seinfeld and always found Friends sorta insufferable, even back in the day. The only reason I'd watch sometimes was to oggle Aniston.
I've honestly never understood how someone could like Curb and not Seinfeld—the comedic sensibility (i.e. Larry David's) is very similar. Is it something about the format? (Multi-camera, laugh tracked vs. not, etc.)
It's funny because I consider Seinfeld to be one of the pinnacles of TV comedy, whereas my opinion of Friends is on the far opposite of that spectrum. Seinfeld is what I watch to laugh, Friends whenever it happens to re-air on TV and I want some background noise.
Neither. Never found either even remotely funny outside of a handful of classic episodes.
Will and Grace was way more to my taste back in the day.

Huh, I've never seen this take before.
Usually It's Always Sunny people choose Seinfeld since It's Always Sunny is basically Seinfeld on bath salts.
Friends easily, though Curb Your Enthusiasm crushes both of them. Curb also renders Seinfeld unnecessary.
Seinfeld
I gave Friends a chance, it took the entire first season and first ep from season 2 to realize it was not funny.

This was going to be my response lol. For me it would LS vs Martin.
Love Friends, love Seinfeld..
Might go with Friends tho, Seinfeld is on that eternal pessimism shit
Modern day equivalent: Are you a "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" or a "The Office" person?

Wish there was a neither option. Wasn't really a fan of either. Did love Living Single though and Friends ripped that off so...yeah.
"I learned something today..."
To this day I refer to this show, much loved by one of my kids, as "The shouty in a bucket show." Every episode ends with an echoey postscript in which the protagonist mouths some nonsensical learning moment. This is too American for me. If Americans actually learned anything in their crappy comedy shows they would be making stuff like Smack the Pony. They don't, and we end up with crap like Two-and-a-half Men.
I never heard of it. But I looked at some clips and it looks very good. Must look at it.
Adults in a midlife crisis(although it could adults of any age in that kind of crisis).
I'm a Seinfeld fan; I worked with a guy that could quote Friends but I could never remember the characters much less an episode.
But Seinfeld...I can remember most of them. "The Puffy Shirt." "The Chef Who Didn't Wash."
The only thing I know with Friends is I wouldn't hang with any of them. Ross gave off serial killer vibes.

scrubs is what gray's anatomy would be if it recognized its near-farcical tone. really though it is the series that I have heard is most like actually doing doctor work from people who do it
To be fair, I've only ever seen a handful of episodes of Seinfeld. Whereas I've watched Friends from start to finish multiple times.
