Moviewise | The Scientific Reason How I Met Your Mother Is Better Than Friends @Moviewise | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
As long as human kind has walked the Earth, man has not been able to see eye to eye with his fellow man when discussing which is the better show about twenty-something New Yorkers navigating relationships and personal challenges in a group with a funny womanizer, a bookish romantic who buys a car he shouldn't because it's New York and a couple who will end up getting married by their womanizing friend. OK, maybe not that long (I am referring to the disagreement getting started when man started walking the Earth; I know it was hard to keep track of that sentence), but still, people never say Friends and How I Met Your Mother are equally good, there is always a favorite.
Such a discussion has come to an end and all thanks to How I Met Your Mother's illustrious similarity to seven great classics of literature (or six classics and a postmodern stand out, if, like me, you believe a book needs about a century of life to be considered a classic) the superiority of the more recent show can be shown to its excellent though not as bold predecessor.
The Encyclopedic Narrative (as suggested by professor Edward Mendelson) is the type of book that How I Met Your Mother shares an outstanding amount of similarities with. So many that one might, indeed call it by itself a Encyclopedic Narrative.
Watch how Renaissance Man Barney Stinson and unreliable narrator Ted Mosby play with every possibility of storytelling in endless attempts to catalogue, categorize, exhibit and explain the world they inhabit. Learn what Dante's The Divine Comedy, François Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel, Miguel de Cervante's Don Quixote, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust, Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, James Joyce's Ulysses and that camera lover Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow have in common with this amazing sit-com.
And yes, Marshal’s speech about the burger is a nod to Amadeus.
