I was just thinking about it, and I would say Seinfeld is a clear winner but most of my idiot friends say Friends (some haven't even heard of Seinfeld (sigh))

So just vote/comment (if the poll doesn't appear ._.) and tell me which you think was the superior comedy series.

I loved both, and while Seinfeld had Kramer and all his wackyness, Friends at least attempted a story and continuity which made it a bit more interesting. I mean, I know the point of Seinfeld was for it to be a show about nothing, and they achieved that with flying colors, I just prefer shows like Friends and Scrubs.

I like them both, but I choose Friends over Seinfeld because I like how attached to and invested in the characters you can really get with Friends, whereas it's difficult to sympathize with the Seinfeld characters in the same way.

Also, while perhaps not a solidly valid reason for my preferences, I'm young enough that Seinfeld feels a bit outdated to me and I bet there's culture references there that are going over my head. I find Friends easier to relate to, and therefor funnier.

Seinfeld all the way.
Everything about Friends makes me cringe, specially that goddam 90's cheesy annoying as fuck intro music. Gawd I hate that song...

Friends. At least it was SEEABLE in Blighty!
(Yes, Friends had a known place in Territorial TV in the UK when it was on, while Seinfeld....not so much)

Being a child who has grown up with both, this is a tough choice. I'm going to lean towards Friends. But I love Seinfeld too. Good poll.

Bah, where's the "stick them all in a box and let comedians the world over poke them with fiery sticks" option?

Both those shows were terrible, friends for its giant "This is the punchline!" sign for all of its "jokes", seinfeld for not even having punchlines (or set ups, or even jokes/humour at all for that matter).

Seinfeld was far funnier. Friends always seemed to be toned down to be more family friendly and over-stressed the drama.

I never once laughed when watching friends, Seinfeld on the other hand, I can quote all day long, people say Seinfeld was never deep or had any character development, well it was never supposed to be deep, and the characters were never supposed to undergo any change, they were who they were and they lived their lives in their own way, often the wrong way

Seinfeld is super awesome because Kramer.
Friends is super awesome because of Joey.

This is actually a tough decision guys.

I'm one of those guys.
Never really watched series but on TV and I don't know if this shows been on Finnish TV. If it has they have translated the title and I can't combine the translation with the orginal one.
Due to this, my vote goes to Friends, according to me a good show.

Seinfeld. Not only was it waaaay funnier than Friends (which sucks), but it got it. It understood and portrayed life in a vastly more realistic way. People were usually jerks, the universe dumped on them, their group of friends frequently quaralled for various stupid reasons. In Friends, group conflict would only be shown briefly for a few episodes when someone got cheated on or something. In Seinfeld, the four of them fought with others and even amongst themselves pretty much every episode for stupid crap that anyone else in real life would fight over due to the inherently petty nature of humankind. Seinfeld wins because it got real life, it got how the universe worked. Plus, Friends sucked, so its not even really a contest.

Neither is funny.
When Seinfeld, Friends, Cheers, or some other crap is on TV, I change channel.
I miss Blackadder.
