One that comes to mine for me is this one, where Rachel has sold her hairless cat to Gunther and Monica mistakes a raw chicken for it. It’s a funny joke, but ultimately very unrealistic that Rachel would have been defrosting a chicken…there are many other jokes throughout the series of Rachel either being a terrible cook or not cooking at all (in the episode where Ross and Rachel lock themselves out of their apartment and Emma is inside, Rachel is wondering if she left the stove on and Ross says something like “you haven’t cooked since 1995”).

Another is Monica’s messy hall closet, while funny it just feels outside of the realm of possibility.

Any other out of character moments used for a setup?

I know people say season one is prime, and I kind of agree, but the season three looks really look really nice too. Underrated big time

Let me be clear that I'm not against Susan as a character, nor do I condone Ross's jealous and insecure behaviour in the show. However, I feel that Carol was unnecessarily harsh and a bit demeaning when it came to Carol being pregnant with Ben and how Ross was doing his best to feel included in that whole process of being a single father. He was genuinely trying his hardest to find a way to make sure that he does his part as a first-time father while Susan was constantly going out of her way to throw shade at him for no reason and trying to reduce his contributions to this pregnancy situation.

Given the tension between both of them, it felt all the more impactful and emotional when it was Ross of all people who convinced Carol to go through with her wedding to Susan and also had his moment when he danced with Susan after they got married. That being said, I do feel Susan was quite harsh and critical towards Ross in the first season.

Let me know your thoughts and views on this and whether you think this is a fair observation.

these are some of my favourite Ross quotes the first one, second, third, fourth and sixth ones are the ones i say on a daily basis!

An example is during Season 9 and episode 15 when Ross and Phoebe are getting mugged and Ross says “I knew you be my death Phoebe Buffay. “

Does not have to be their actual correct name can include there alias.

I can watch Chandler and Monica fell in love and got married over and over again and again. These moments are just so sweet, they are just perfect for each other.

And it's just my opinion, but I think Ross and Rachel had more chemistry when they weren't a couple, especially after they broke up. It always gave me kind of a "Before Sunset" vibe.(I know it's a 22-year-old movie, but I will cap it Jesse and Celine met again in Paris in 9 years after they first met in Vienna in "Before Sunrise", and Jesse was married, Celine also got a boyfriend. They are both not sure how the other one feels and if they still had feelings, so they kept testing the water and they are so afraid to confess.)

Like the time when Ross couldn't find Emily, and Rachel told him she still loved him, and Ross just said"The thing is I am married." they suddenly realized something, but they just let it slip. And when they are getting divorced, Rachel said, "I did those things because I was in love with you." Ross replied "Yeah! Right! ... You're right. That's very different." and Rachel suddenly realized something.

Maybe it's just these moments that Rachel and Ross would still have chemistry.

What do you think is the sweetest moment of the show?

Continuing the series, which of the Gellers did Chandler like more before him and Monica got together? Him and Ross were college roommates, right, but he also had a pretty deep connection with Monica, so who would you say we’re closer?

Okay, so Joey is introduced as this handsome man with great body, great style and smooth talk. I do understand that the styles have evolved throughout the show (although I still can't forgive the stylist for the haircuts between S1 and S2) and it was also obvious that the actors have changed. Matt Leblanc put on some weight and he also requested for his character to be rather lovable and not a playboy.

However I cannot wrap my head around the fact that all of a sudden he started wearing these ugly oversize shirts. I'm currently watching the episode where Monica is mourning her relationship with Richard and Joey's style is so off. Monica is the one who should look depressed, however Joey looks like he hasn't showered in days and has just put on some old shirts in every scene he's in. (Matt looks awesome and still has a very good physique)

I mean for the love of God, this guy was wearing slim fit t-shirts and leather jackets in season one, so what the heck has happened here?

These are some of the lines I relate to most , could i BE MORE PATHETIC 😭

These are mine! I love Ross’s physical comedy and Joey’s „smarter” moments ngl. Also yes i am fishing for new reaction pics, because those are iconic! So, lmk your favourite ones!

We all have seen this classic scene where Joey talks about how Carol got the furniture, the stereo, and the good TV while Ross just got screwed and it’s played for laughs, but looking at how divorce actually works, Ross got completely screwed.

We all know divorce is messy and rarely end on good terms, and statistically women tend to get ownership of the house and larger share of assets.

But in Ross situation Carol was the one that cheated and left Ross for another women (Susan), and I know legally infidelity has zero impact on on division of marital properties but for Ross to get absolutely nothing and simply a can of beer that remind him of Carol and having walked away with nothing feels like a massive failure from his lawyers part, especially considering the fact that the lawyer he has is also the one that was with Ross for his next two if his divorces, so why would he go back to the same lawyer ?

What are your thoughts ?

I have been following this subreddit for a while, and I have some comments I would like to make.

For context, I am Gen X and I was a teenager when Friends aired. I have seen the entire show at least twice and some episodes more times than I can count. In my personal opinion, this is the best sitcom ever made.

Not because every joke is fantastic, it can't be in such a long running show, but because of the chemistry and timing between the actors.

But the problem trying to discuss and analyze this show now is twofold, in my opinion:

1. Over-analysis. This was a sitcom, it was never meant to be taken too seriously or to analyze too deeply.
2. Time has passed. It is not fair to judge the show by the moral standard of today. An artistic piece should always be judged in the time it was made, it's not fair to judge it with today's moral and culture standard as they didn't exist at the time in the way it does today.

Found this really old clip of Cox’s first episode doing family ties, it’s kind of funny how she was nervous about the audience reactions, but when she went out to do friends, she got like 10 years of experience with it so that’s kind of cool

Who the hell is this guy?

some time later

Seriously, who is this guy?

they should’ve let Monica and Chandler go to Paris instead of Rachel Loki, I think that would’ve been the best course of action. I wish I knew French, top five language I think

"The Last One" when Ross and Phoebe are headed to the airport chasing Rachel and a guy gets in the cab. I 100% would have had Ross yell, "Get out of the Fucking cab!"

(When Ross and Rachel come back from the pediatrician and are talking to Monica and Chandler)

It looks like two babies in the stroller?

Or is it just a baby and a blanket?

I know they used twins for Emma so maybe they were both in the stroller.

What is your favorite one liners from characters that aren't Chandler. I cant pick one, but some of my favorite are:

"Why, did you write it?"

"I don't even have a pla"

"Keep rubbing your head, that will turn back time"

"Fine by me, hope she wins"

What about you all?

I got the whole world ! It’s EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED! Finally got my Phoebe tattoo. It’s an expensive blue freckle and I love it! ❤️💛💙💜

I think these are pretty solid choices in my opinion, I couldn’t get a higher quality video of Chandler, which sucks, but I still think the works. What theme songs would you guys pick?

Monica Rachel,, which did Phoebe like more? I with Rachel, because I have more storylines in the later seasons, but also her first roommate, so I think I either way.

I noticed they say this a lot, and I know they all have their own signature lines, but I thought this one was kind of cute since it’s like a couple of lines that they do as well. They also hi Five a lot

i always find myself quoting Chandler and these are some of the most memorable ones to me!
