I'm not sure about this. I'm not a huge sitcom watcher but I've seen a few episodes of Friends. I've caught a few episodes of some other very popular sitcoms. I've never seen one episode of this. I also hear quotes from lots of other sitcoms, even ones I've never seen (like B99). I don't think I've ever heard a quote from this show. I just never thought of it as to the level of Friends or anything like that.

The only thing I've heard about it is that pretty much everyone hates how the show ended.

But, if you've never seen it, how would you know if you heard a quote from it? Have you heard "Legen-wait for it-dary!"?

There are a couple of popular older comedy movies that I can't watch (I find the comedy stupid and boring), but they are quoted in almost everything. I can usually tell there's a joke I should be getting but don't necessarily know which movie it's from unless someone tells me. HIMYM is not that level at all, but it's also a very quotable show so it's likely you've heard a quote but didn't recognize it.

I liken it to something like B99. I've never seen that show but I see it quoted all the time. Like, initially, I didn't know what the quotes were from but eventually I saw them so much and they got tagged with B99 so I know what the show is and a few of the quotes. I've never had that with HIMYM.

I just don't see it being as huge as the secret makes out. There are other shows that feel like they had a bigger impact (like Modern Family). As a non-sitcom person, I am only going to hear about the ones that get a much wider audience or the quotes that are super catchy. I think that if you are someone who watched the show, it might have felt like it had a bigger impact than it actually did.
