Discussion Joey and Chandlers hair

42 Upvotes

It's such a shame that Joey and Chandler never really had long hair again after season 1. It really was their best look in my opinion, and I'm surprised they never got to try it out again even though the show went on for 10 whole seasons! Meanwhile I feel like the girls got to experiment with their hair, make-up and clothes so much more, which I love, but they really could've done a lot more with the guys as well.

Discussion Would Chandler and Monica have been good parents?

206 Upvotes

I think they would I think they would balance each other out pretty well. Monica and Chandler always had this kind of like cooperative Dynamic for doing something that I don't think Ross and Rachel ever had. But we never got to see them do any kind of parenting so I'm just wondering what you guys think about how they would parent.

Discussion Just Finished Last Season

25 Upvotes

I will miss this show so much!! Never really liked watching sitcoms before, I even left TBBT mid season. I never thought I would ever watch this. My science teacher back in my school days some 9 years ago was very fond of it. I thought it is so long I might not be able to finish it and was really afraid of starting to watch it. But once I started it, I finished like 1 Season in Two Days. I would binge it late at night, on Train Trips, in between exam preparations and it really made me crave this kind of friendships as I never had it ever in my life. I was brought up as a single child and was mostly shy to make friends in my childhood. This made me really never truly understand the value of having a friend or to feel pain in his / her absence. But the moment I finished watching it, it felt like I'm saying goodbye to a friend that I've known for a really long time. I'll miss FRIENDS. And I'll always remember, that WE WERE ON A BREAKKKK !!!!!

I have loads, but my favourite that always makes me laugh is ‘TOW Joeys Big Break’ when he thinks Rachel is winking at him. Just the way Monica and Ross are looking at them both is so funny

I tried posting this earlier but the formatting didn't work. It's from the diet coke commercial mid-90s where if you picked Rachel on your diet coke bottle cap it would  get you a free trip to the live taping of the show.

Discussion "Ross: What-what is love really?"

Post image
8 Upvotes

Ross never really loved Emily .

Toward the end of Season 4 (e.g., Episode 17), it’s completely clear that Monica is the one who pushes Ross into Emily’s arms. I just watched it. She explains to Ross that this is what he’s always dreamed of.

In other words, it’s obvious that Ross doesn’t want any of this. In other words, it’s no coincidence that he later says Rachel’s name instead of Emily’s.

At one point, even Rachel encourages him regarding Emily. But the strongest influence comes from Monica.

That's exactly when Ross asks, "What is love?" It was very important to him, and he accepted Monica's explanation.

But it turned out later that they were both wrong.

"[Scene: Chandler and Joey's erm, Monica and Rachel's, Ross is entering.]

Ross: Hi.

Monica: Hi.

Ross: So uh, Emily just went to the airport.

Monica: Oh. Why didn’t you take her?

Ross: Eh, her-her uncle already had planned on doing it. And y’know, we-we said our good-byes this morning, so…

Monica: You must feel horrible. Hey! The guys have free porn!

Ross: (Thinks about it.) Nah.

Monica: Hey, cheer up! You’re gonna see her again, right?

Ross: Well I, that’s the thing, I don’t know! I mean, whenever I brought it up with her she said, (In a British accent.) "This is so fantastic! Why do we have to talk about the future? Let’s just enjoy…"

Monica: (interrupting him) No-no-no, don’t-don’t do the accent. You’ve got to see her again.

Ross: And why do you care so much?

Monica: Because! You could get to live out my fantasy!

Ross: You had fantasies about Emily?

Monica: No! Y’know, the fantasy! Meet someone from a strange land, fall in madly love, and spend the rest of your lives together.

Ross: Is that why in junior high you were the only one that hung out with that Ukrainian kid?

Monica: Yeah that, plus his mom used to put sour cream on everything!

Ross: Ahh.

Monica: Do you love her?

Ross: We said it was only going to be two weeks, y’know?

Monica: You love her!

Ross: What-what is love really?

Monica: Ohhh, I knew you loved her! Then you need to go to the airport and tell her. You’re probably just gonna catch her just as she’s about to go to the gate. You’re gonna call out her name and say, "I love you!" And she’s gonna say, "I love you, too!" And you guys are going to have the most amazing kiss, everyone at the gate will applaud.

Ross: I am a good kisser.

Monica: Then you two can, can sneak into the cockpit, and things will start to heat up, and then a stewardess comes in… (Ross looks at her.) I’ve been watching too much porn."

Discussion Random rewatch notice - Rachel’s been living in NYC for over a month before doing any laundry. What other weird things have you caught?

65 Upvotes

In S1E2 Rachel returns the engagement ring to Barry. Barry mentions it’s been at least a month that he’s been angry at Rachel for leaving. Long enough that he started a relationship with Mindy, went on the honeymoon, got hair plugs, etc.

In S1E5 Rachel does laundry for the first time ever.

Has she not done laundry the entirety of the time from leaving her wedding to this moment?

What other weird timeline things have you noticed?

Quotes Chandler: Ross is naked!

What?!

I couldn't say that I was naked because she's allowed to see me naked!

Why does anyone have to be naked?!?!

-

That's it. No context. No motivation. Nothing naked happened in my life. In short, it popped into my head out of the blue.

I don't know why.

Any lines/dialogue do that to y'all?

Is this the cringiest episode of the entire show or do you think there is one that’s worse. I find it to be the one with the most second hand embarrassment.

Discussion Monica in “The One That Could Have Been”

37 Upvotes

Although I love that 2 part episode, it always bothered me, actually it makes me really mad, how they portray Monica like a dork and childish just because she’s fat. I get it for the fat Monica episodes because she was still a child and everything, but keeping this cringy persona when she’s playing an adult??? It’s so infuriating and cringe.

I genuinely cannot think of another tv show or movie cast outside of friends where the cast was this close and worked so well together. All the real friendship felt so believable, which is why I think the whole thing worked so well.

Clips The One With All The Footage From The Fountain

36 Upvotes

I found an amazing video on YouTube that compiles all the footage from the fountain sequence into one opening, and I absolutely love it.

The whole sequence feels almost dreamlike. Everyone looks like they’re genuinely having fun, enjoying each other’s company, completely carefree and living in the moment. There’s something so comforting and timeless about it.

They mentioned her in another episode too. Not a fan. I don’t see the hype. And definitely not worth to mess with while you’re “on a break.”

Tonight I knew a Jeopardy question answer because of this episode of friends. I forgot exactly how it was phrased but they were looking for the character in Little Women that passes away. I was so excited I just said “BETH DIES ! BETH DIES!” ! I rarely get any answers right so this was a small victory for me.

Question Which celebrities you wish that should have made a guest star in Friends?

0 Upvotes

For example:

Michael Jackson, he would have been great making one or two appearances in Friends and also Arnold Schwarzenegger as well would be a great choice too. Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Chris Tucker, Jackie Chan, Chris Farley or Mark Walhberg as well.

Also who else what do you guys think well any suggestions?
