Which do you prefer, Friends or The Big Bang Theory?

"Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory" are very classic American sitcoms, "Friends" is centered on six old friends living in Manhattan, New York, and describes their ten years of ups and downs hand in hand. This is the memory of a generation of Americans, from 1994-2003, ten years and ten seasons, enduring. Even if the drama of twenty years ago is put to the present, it can still make people laugh and laugh, and it is the next meal drama of many people. "The Big Bang Theory" tells the funny life story of four otaku scientists and a beautiful neighbor, and the production company invited the famous physicist David Saltzberg to serve as the scientific consultant of the whole show, ensuring the accuracy of scientific knowledge. In 2009, the series won the Television Critics Association (TCA) Award for Best Comedy Series. "Friends" ranked first among the 100 most popular American dramas selected by the American media Outlet Hollywood Reporter in 2015, while "The Big Bang Theory" ranked twenty-fifth. The rankings were official, and the Big Bang Theory wasn't finished at the time. Their pros and cons are answered only by thousands of viewers.

Some say Friends is better.

The creation of Friends is earlier, the comedy model has been innovated, and TV programs around the world have learned from it, including China's "WL WaiChuan" and "AQ Apartment", which have great and far-reaching influence. Friends' jokes are based on the traits of the Six, Monica's desire to control and obsessive-compulsive disorder, Joey's lustful gluttony, Rachel's arrogance, Chander's gay temperament, Rose's pedantic stereotypes, and Phoebe's neuroticism. The funny plot and love story in Friends take into account both rationality and story, everyone's positioning and characteristics are very clear, the nickname of Friends is sixsomes, because its protagonist has always been six protagonists, in contrast to the big bang of life, the plot is curious, each role is too idealistic, and gradually joins the role in the later stage. It may be that some audiences cannot accept the gradual rise in the status of supporting roles, and the role of the protagonist is reduced. Changes in the plot and characters may make the audience feel uncomfortable and difficult to accept.

Others say they are more inclined to the Big Bang of Life.

First, "Friends" was filmed relatively early, and many laughs were based on the hot spots at that time. Some laugh points may require fans' science plus search for some information to understand their laugh points. In addition, there are many jokes about the stars at that time, which is difficult for us to understand. Especially for those of us who are abroad, it may not be very familiar with American culture in itself, and it will be more difficult to understand.

In contrast, The Big Bang Theory is more "young" and closer to our current lives, so we are more able to get the laughs. TBBT began airing in 2007, and on May 1, 2019, the final episode was officially announced. Hawking, Bill Gates, etc. mentioned in the play are all familiar to us.

Second, the Big Bang of Life is shaking faster and the laughter points are denser, so it is actually more suitable for the trend of humor comedy today, although Friends still has laughter points, but the "laughing fruit" has been relatively weak. As for the technical terms in the Big Bang of Life, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, because it doesn't rely on this to shake the baggage. The best part of the Big Bang Theory is the performance of civilian comedy with a group of niche high intellectuals who seem to be detached from the common people. Of course, the popularization of friends has long been done, but the Big Bang Theory has made a new interpretation in another way. It can't be said that the Big Bang of Life surpassed Friends, but TBBT did stand on the shoulders of giants and do some innovation.

Personally, I think these two American dramas are very classic, and it is very rare to meet an extremely good sitcom, and it is very lucky to meet two. It doesn't matter which of the two plays is high or low, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts. So what do you think? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section.
