The funniest thing is how the characters becomes more of their stereotypes during the show. Joey becomes dumber, Ross starts as ultimately annoying and gets more annoying somehow, Phoebe gets weirder, etc.

You don’t really notice it if you just watch the show, but watching two episodes a couple of seasons apart in reverse order makes it obvious.

My house mate watched the whole series back to back. It was painful listening to that theme song five times a day for months on end.

I see you never listened to a Top 40 radio station in the mid 90s

also we need to discus chandlers weight / drug problems, when he's skinny and amphetamized he's hilarious, later seasons when bloated not so much

Chandler was 90s gay panic jokes personified but in one episode he's acting all manly man and super upset Joey and Ross were into girly stuff (interior decorating and wearing foundation to try to disguise extreme teeth whitening, respectively)

Phoebe should have just not been on the show.

Remember the episode where she finds a lost cat she thinks is her mom reincarnated, and eventually Ross finds it’s a little girl’s lost cat, and he’s painted as the bad guy for wanting to give the cat back and not playing into Phoebe’s delusional fantasy.

On the other hand, there was the time when Phoebe got possessed by the ghost of the old lady. I'm trying to think of other funny Phoebe moments but it's hard.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

That episode where Joey accidentally brings a hooker home and Ross kills her in a panic when she tries to slip out in the middle of the night was great. Loved Phoebe rolling her eyes while the rest of the gang is freaking out "Oh yeah like you've never seen a dead body before".

Monica had no chill. Hyper competitive clean freak who would drive anyone mad.

She seemed to be more chill when she was fat though, so maybe that’s the way to go.

All the friends have aged extremely well except for Matthew Perry, who looks a lot older but I guess not so bad for someone weathered by years of drug addiction, videogame playing and health complications like pancreatitis and gastrointestinal perforation.

How I Met Your Mother lacks a Ross. You can't consider something to be a successor to Friends if it doesn't have a Ross.

Lisa Kudrow is the only one of the 3 lady friends who is legit funny and cool irl and is a normal person so she's my favorite. I don't care for the show overall though. But she is a good comic talent.
