Imagine getting paid $1mil PER EPISODE (so like.... 23 or 24 times per season), and screwing up your lines constantly. I'm not saying he did this, but someone in the history of sitcoms must have.

The mind boggles.

I started thinking of things I'd do for a million bucks a day, 24 times a year. But that's a really long list.

The list of things I wouldn't do is short. Really short. Televised visit at the Hague short.

looks like 1 mil per episode only happened the last two seasons.
Season 1 was like 22K and it just ramped up from there. still insane.

Edit: I do remember they pretended to have Chandler on the other end of a phone call at least once, maybe more

I would imagine it means you hear one side of the conversation and that side of the conversation is Joey's

I assume just a one sided phone call where the actor repeats what the unheard person says

“Hi chandlers... thank you for asking how I am. I am very well thank you.... How are you?... you say you are well and Monica have killed Monica”

Ross is a oval office and is a proto incel.

Joey who was a proto Chad, named/burned Ross by coming up with the friend zone idea (first place ever mentioned).

Writers made this all worse by letting Ross and Rachel get together.

the writers had to come up with a reason for six 25 years olds to hang out 24/7 nonstop for decade having breakfast together, fully clothed, daily

there had to be exactly enough drama in their interactions for “plots to happen” but it had to stay light and fluffy enough for network tv

also there’s the problem of your generic show getting popular and you have to pump out episodes

producers throw poo poo at the wall to see what sticks and once in a while some show gets super popular for no apparent reason and they’re like GO GO GO, WACKY! WACKIER! JOEY EATS A HOUSEPLANT! CHANDLER HUMPS A HOUSE PLANT! RACHEL AND MONICA FALL DOWN AND YOU CAN SEE THEIR BOOBS AND BUTT! THAT HOUSEPLANT WAS MY GIRLFRIEND *LAUGHTRACK*

wasn’t there a monkey? yeah first season there’s a monkey. GET A MONKEY ON SET! THAT MONKEY IS ROSS’S LESBIAN GIRLFRIEND IN A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE

i’ve said this before but Phoebe and Joey are two normal people from the real world who got teleported to the bizarro alternate FRIENDS™️©️®️ dimensions unknowingly.

Joey is completely realistic:
-wants to be an actor, mostly fails at it
-can only afford rent in NYC because his nerdy friend has a better job and loans him cash.
-He “likes girls” and unlike every other guy in the FRIENDS™️©️®️ timeline, he just “asks them out on a date.” They are usually delighted because every other guy dances around women like a dork and eats a houseplant and yells WE WERE ON A BREAK and falls down flights of stairs and looks at them longingly (while sad music plays). Joey just “asks how they are doing” and then “hey want to have a whole bunch of sex, with me, right now, in my bed at my house?” it’s like he has magic powers
-Joey is also not terribly intelligent so he doesn’t question his strange life or the laughter that erupts from walls, beyond making a confused face once in a while, shrugging and going with it

Phoebe-
-was homeless at 14 (the age she was teleported to the FRIENDS©️™️ZONE®️) and forced to shack up with some albino guy and live in a car if I remember correctly (v likely scenario for a person dumped into an alternate dimension with no resources).
-this also explains why a gorgeous blond woman wears such frumpy baggy clothes, you don’t want to draw too much attention to yourself (never know when wacky romantic music will start playing as men on the street fall out of their cars into a pile of houseplants if they notice an attractive woman)
-learned to survive on the mean streets (which this being a family friendly sitcom universe they weren’t all that mean but still scary and weird if you’re a teenager and don’t know what’s going on) by talking loudly and forcefully whenever people’s one-liners got too wacky or whenever the laughter (that she thinks is in her head) gets too repetitive OH GOD STOP BEING SO WACKY, WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE?? DO YOU HEAR THAT LAUGHTER? IS IT ME? AM I CRAZY?? NO IM THE ONLY SANE ONE!!!!
-all her new age hippy psychic beliefs make perfect sense since she’s trying to figure out why the world suddenly changed into such a strange place one day.
-Phoebe’s constant desperate attempts to be WACKY are a form of camouflage; also wackiness lets you warp and manipulate the fabric of space and time itself if you hit the right notes (you can tell it’s working when the music changes)
-in the FRIENDS®️™️ universe, cats really are super smelly. Just, a sulfurous stench. Foul. Her song was a desperate attempt to find fellow earthlings in a public venue in the WACKIEST way (to avoid attention)

She did have that one line when Rachel was complaining about not knowing if she was dating Russ because he was like Ross when she said, "that reminds me of this one time when I was homeless and starving and this one guy told me he'd buy me food if I'd have sex with him."

And then Rachel asks how her problem reminded her of that and she says something like, "Oh, you're right. See, because mine was a real problem and not this stupid high school crap!"

Phoebe had her moments.

This shows part of my point I feel. She bring up here traumatic past in a situation it's totally unrelated to and anyone who says anything is shut down and dismissed due to said traumatic past.

True it was high school esk bull crap but Phoebe was being a dick.

Look the show was a gigantic dick fiesta, but that does not mean im wrong.

All the characters lost their meaning and became caricatures by the end.

Also the show has not aged well at all. One particular joke being 'what do we do with this drunk girl, oh that's Joe's speciality'
