They always tried to portray Ross as some weak dude when in reality he'd be able to take out all five friends at the same time, especially considering he was able to get angry enough to do it.

Did anyone notice how thick torso and barrel chested Phoebe is?
She has a really unattractive body.

>good looking actor people
>they're likeable and funny
>episodes usually revolve around issues the viewer will likely face
It's that simple.

there was nothing else on tv

laugh tracks

The music

They apparently also loved to be told when to laugh.
I literally cannot fathom how you could find anything containing canned laughter funny, it instantly pulls out any potential for actual satire.

Yes. Phoebe was the ugliest of the three women on that show.

No online porn

>Friends
>Satire

What the fuck? You just think “satire” means “funny but for smart people like me” don’t you

>all humor has to be satire
I bet you think you're being hilarious when you're being sarcastic

i’ve been wondering that. i’m not hating on the show. growing up it was always on tv but as an adult i rewatched some episodes and... i don’t get it

good job replying the same stuff again retard

lifestyle porn

It's comfy with relatable characters and good dialogue
She aged the best though

It taught youngsters about relationships / sex

I think satire means "funny", which Friends obviously isn't.
I can see how you misinterpreted my post though, you probably swallow that shit right up, don't you

>I think satire means funny
what is your excuse for being such a dumbass

Bullshit
I watched friends like every day when I was like 8-11 and I am absolutely HORRIBLE with dating and women
I think
I mean, I've never been on a date so Idk

>I think satire means "funny"

More than one person thinks you're retarded

>implying

I always found it creepy how it took place in "modern" times yet it made hardly any reference to pop culture or the technology at the time.

There's that oh-so-hilarious sarcasm. We all think you're real smart now

What year was the most kino Friends year?

That was so it could be syndicated around the world for eternity, its on 'tv' now where I live, also Monica fucked a hootie and the blowfish guy so I don't know where you're coming from

>We all think you're real smart now
Yeah thanks, maybe if you practice long enough someday you might be able to pull it off as well, just start watching better shit, it's not hard at all.

Do you define success as "Stayed on the air nonstop for decades"? Because that wasn't because it was successful, that was because it was contractual. The only people I know who can even stand being in the same room as Friends are boomers and they don't watch the channels it airs on because they don't have Bonanza(which ironically is far more watchable)

>Because that wasn't because it was successful, that was because it was contractual.
Man zoomers really are fucking retarded

1st season Phoebe was elfin and gorgeous
That's my only criterium

no niggers

Funny story about Friends. One of the writers assistants sued the show because she was subjected to lewdness from the brainstorming writers. One such idea the writers had a laugh about was Joey becoming a serial rapist.

I don't even like friends, you're just an idiot

women and 90s born queers love it

I was in stitches reading that court stuff when it was leaked. Behind the scenes, the Friends writers were actually funny.

You're embarrassing yourself user. No amount of damage control can save this

Right series for the right time. 20 somethings getting started with their lives on a time when dreams were still possible.

Fixed your image boyo

lol all of them heat the wall by season 8 while Ross actually peaks at 10

I read an article about this recently.
It wasn't about it's original success, but more about it's huge 'viral' ressurgence amongst millenials and gen x'rs.
Apparently this is because a lot of millenials and younger are isolated and lonely, and this TV show lets them feel like they have friends.

>Heat the wall

There was an article at the time that talked about how in real life they wouldn't have been able to afford their apartments

>It wasn't about it's original success
It was the most popular show on tv

literal retard

Funny-o-meter

Whew, almost forgot to laugh there.

yes i know, you retard.
i'm saying thats not what the article was about.
the article was about it's unprecedented popularity amongst current teenagers who weren't even born when it first aired.
friends is the number one streamed show online.

Half the audience was teenage boys fapping to Aniston’s nips, porn was a much rarer commodity back then

>Rachel
2, 3, 6, 7
>Monica
2, 5, 7, 10
>Phoebe
1, 5

Laugh tracks were recorded ages ago and recycled. All those people are dead now

>Writer Rebecca Reid told BBC Radio 5 live in January she "couldn't believe how badly it has aged".

>"The homophobia is staggering - the punchline of every joke about Ross is that his ex-wife is a lesbian, as if that's some failing of his and that it's hilarious that she's a lesbian," she said.

>"The sexism's pretty rampant as well... [and] it's the whitest show in the whole world."


tl;dr if you're watching friends you are a racist misoyginist

Comedy, user.
The word you're looking for is comedy.

1. Why was Rachel such a cunt? How could anyone put up with her and why couldn't she ever calm the fuck down? Is she capable of bei g happy?
2. Why were they so mean to Joey? He works his ass off and all he ever does is come by with gifts and do friendly things to make people happy, and they all dogpile him like he's a problem and not LITERALLY a wonderful ray of sunshine

It perfected the sitcom formula. Friends is literally the best sitcom of all time

People like to self-insert as late twentysomethings who live in rent-controlled Manhattan apartments and just drink coffee and make fun of best Friend Chandler all day

Season 10 Ross
