100%, but I would add in on top of the fact that they can relate to the characters, everything works out for everyone in the end. Even that ass Roy gets a happy ending. Michael Schurr is not capable of writing a show where in the long run, ultimately everyone doesn't get what they wanted out of life. It's schmaltzy af but of course Americans just eat that up.
Relatable characters + happy endings for everyone = my shitty life is gonna turn out ok no matter what.
Michael Shur also can't write a show where the characters don't alleet the love of their life at work and ultimately get married at work, or with all their co workers in attendance. Even the ones they don't get along with.

No one can relate to friends because it just isn't that funny.
You’re both right
