Oh my goodness How I Met your Mother, in every category! Especially Barney! I like friends too! :) but I think How I Met your mother (other than some stuff in the last season and the finale) is much funnier. I know friends was an influential factor on HIMYM, but I personally think the latter is far better, and more creative :) but hey that's just me!
HIMYM is funny, that's true, but I don't feel that you get the same bond with the caracters and the story as you do with Friends. They're both good shows, but at least for me and everybody I know that grew up with Friends, it's Friends all the way. I've watched it so manymany times, and it never get's old. I've watched HIMYM 3 times and it's just not the same caliber.

I see your point sophi! I guess I prefer HIMYM cause I grew up with that, whereas friends had ended. Friends had an infinitely better series finale though. It was so sweet!!! But the whole story arc with joey and Rachel, and Charlie and Ross....I lost some interest during that. But I guess HIMYM kinda got like that in its final season. And I actually bonded with the characters on HIMYM a more. Especially Marshall! When his (spoiler) dad dies it hurt! And TED getting his heart broken so many times....and Barney clearing the rose petals off the bed he prepared for him and Robin after she doesn't break up with Kevin, oh it was all so sad! But you still gotta respect friends cause it was a huge sitcom innovator! Without Friends there would be no HIMYM and I respect it for that! :)
All of them are fairly easy decisions with the exception of Chandler/Marshall. Those 2 were both just excellent, but I personally prefer Chandler. Rachel is way funnier and still is hotter than Robin. Barney may be the best character on both shows, Joey just got stupider as the series went on. Ross was a whiney baby, while Ted even though annoying sometimes was more entertaining. Monica was funnier than Lily, and had a better overall story with her background and everything (Lily was good, but she never should have left marshall in season 1). And the last one is clearly a joke, Phoebe all the way.
Friends by a mile ;) I think Rachel was so much more likeable than Robin. The hardest was out of Joey or Barney- but Joey is the original womaniser of sitcoms ;)
