6 Reasons Why How I Met Your Mother Will Never Topple Friends

3. Lily Is Awful

331D2260-8F94-404B-A4BD-EFDBC5EDA1D6_extra Lily Aldrin of How I Met Your Mother is abhorrent at times. From dealing out her own justice- leading to her treating a fully grown adult in the form of Ted€™s boss as if he were in kindergarten- to leaving Marshall just to see if she was good enough to be an artist and then expecting him to forgive her immediately when she came crawling back, she seems to have her own skewed rules that only she can break. Although it was written for Alyson Hannigan€™s maternity leave, she just seemed like a stressy little girl when she left for several episodes because of a disgusting joke Barney told- there were surely ways of doing this without alienating us further from the character. While all the characters in Friends are flawed in their own ways, from Joey€™s treatment of women to how spoilt Rachel was, they all had equally redeeming qualities that made them still appear as well rounded characters. Unfortunately, the only good to be seen in Lily without a microscope is when she€™s being cute with Marshall, and this is usually down to him and not her.
