Right from the first Season of 'How I Met Your Mother', Marshall Eriksen made it to the top of the list of my all-time favourite sitcom characters. The fact that he was literally always there for his gang, irrespective of his situation, made his character so warm and amazing.

From his plain, adorable goofiness to his inexplicable yet wonderful devotion to one single woman for his entire life, Marshall was the example of a perfect man and a perfect friend. Plus his weird sense of humour was always on point, which made me laugh until I choked!

Now, unfortunately I don't have such a person in my life, but damn it would be good to have a bro like him to chill with.
