As each season went on, audiences knew they were getting further from the reveal of who Ted’s love was, but we invested along the way. The witty one-liners and quotable moments made it easy to laugh along with the series. How I Met Your Mother had likability out of their main cast and even at times when it was a bit goofy, you didn’t mind because you were still invested in the characters and their success.

What makes the show so rewatchable is that even though you may have been disappointed in the end, there’s still plenty that made you laugh along the way. Even after multiple viewings, there are still little moments you will pick up along the way that you may have not noticed before. The humor was in the little ways they called back to earlier seasons that kept you invested.

On top of the humor, How I Met Your Mother hit us with plenty of emotional scenes. It was filled with good, bad, and everything in between. It may have been cheesy at times or had some immature jokes but that’s what makes it the perfect comfort show. With a comedy, you don’t have to put in the energy like you would trying to follow along with a psychological thriller. Humor is great for the times when you’ve had a rough day and just really need a laugh. That’s why How I Met Your Mother is the perfect comfort show.
