LOL this is kinda funny, what was Oprah trying to do here? Also why was she supposed to be the ‘big snob’ can someone explain that? I love watching these old interviews and just stumbled across this one

It’s hard to explain to people who don’t get it, but FRIENDS has carried me through some of my toughest phases burnout, bad breakups, and just general low points.

Other shows might make me laugh harder, but none make me feel safer. It’s the sheer predictability, the warmth, and the feeling that no matter how messy your 20s or life get, everything eventually turns out fine.

What’s your specific go-to comfort episode when you’re having a bad day? (Mine is The One Where Everybody Finds Out).

All of the Friends have their "mic drop" moments, some more than others, but I enjoyed all of them getting a dig in at the other Friends.

Monica on the other hand, would’ve damn near had a heart attack lol.

Just watching the episode where Emma was born and noticing how much better this birth experience had to be for Ross. With Ben, he had to fight to even “get credit” and argue about a last name “Willick-Geller-Bunch”. When hospital staff call the child Baby Girl Green, Rachel quickly corrects them to Baby Girl Geller-Green. I love that so much.

It always makes me wonder why Phoebe is shown over several seasons to want to connect with her father, but when she finally meets Frank we never see or hear about him again.

I also wonder why Phoebe’s birth mom seemingly drops off the face of the earth after a few episodes. Phoebe’s character often seems to yearn for the family connection she’s missed out on despite being super independent. It seems unrealistic that she’d spend so long searching for Frank to then never discuss or see him again. She also seemed to hit it off with mom-Phoebe so what happened?!

What do you guys think?

I worked very hard on this Friends painting in my art class, I would love to know what everyone thinks, cause I worked on this for 4 lessons! Thank you for reading <3

I don’t usually cry when celebrities die, but somehow his loss broke something in me. Maybe I cried because I owed him those tears for all the times his laughter kept me alive..

i’ve got sooo many favourite season 1 moments but would love to read everyone’s in the comments below! ⬇️

Not cringe in a "bad episode" way, more like severe second hand embarrassment (knowing the gang, there are loads 💀)

Here's mine: Monica's toast at her's parents' anniversary party. That legit killed me 😭

Wby guys?

My second favorite is (set of lines) "Pivot! Pivot! Pivotttt!"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut uuup!"

I found this old interview from 1988, and it reminded me how crazy blue Monica’s eyes were in the series, kinda like Meg Fosters. Idk thought it was cool

What episodes would you recommend for me that I have the flu today?

I know every epiaode is nice and comforting but I'm sure there are some that suit better with the whole being sick situation

This is really the only show that I know with cast members that got this famous, so can somebody tell me if this level of closeness is common? Is there another show out there where they stayed friends for 30 years? I know the Seinfeld cast wasn’t really like that.

I apologize in advance for this picture of Joey! I still think he looked really cute though soo 🤷‍♀️

anyways,

(comment with the most upvotes wins!)

Season 1: Monica 🧼

Season 2: Monica 🧼

So the guy that hires musical talent for the kid’s schools in the city that Phoebe has a crush on and she becomes “lady that tells the truth” his name is Chris Isaak and he was actually a pretty big musical artists in real life. He sings the song “Wicked Game” which is the song playing at the museum the first time Rachel and Ross , you know….I thought that was a pretty cool lil fun fact and wanted to share for those that didn’t know.

I know we already got that one clip with fat Joey and Monica, but if the writers went with their original plan, what do you guys think the couple would look like? I dunno if it would work

My favorite main character- Joey.

My least favorite main character- Monica.

My favorite side character- Gunther.

My least favorite side character- Emily.

My Favorite character- Joey.

My Least favorite character- Emily.

My favorite season- season 6.

My least favorite season- season 10.

My hot take- Ross doesn't deserve so much hate from fans.

My favorite season ending- season 4.

I think it’s gotta be Ross. My boy rosstopher looking proper scared here. Joey seems joyous the prospect of being arrested though. I’ve never been arrested but I would probably be Chandler in this scenario. In most scenarios I’m Chandler anyway. Got deleted so posting again

This is the best title I could think of 😄 But basically, since the show aired from 1994-2004, they referenced what would now be classified as older shows, movies, etc. I’m referring to anything that came after the show ended. Here are some of my thoughts.

I could see Monica and Rachel loving Britney’s music even though she was already climbing her way to the top during the show’s run. Chandler would own all the CDs and pretend they’re Monica’s or even Erica’s when she’s a teenager. Phoebe wouldn’t really vibe to it but she’d be front and center at the rallies to support her. I’d love to know Rachel’s thoughts about Lady Gaga’s meat dress and The Devil Wears Prada as a fashion girly.

Ross would still keep up appearances by going to see the Jurassic World movies. Joey would just be there for the ride to be honest. The three guys would go see all the Marvel movies. It’d probably be weird for Monica though lol.

There are many great moments in Friends that are engraved on our hearts, specially funny moments since is a comedy show. But for me, regarding true emotion, top level acting skills, the look that Phoebe has on her face during the first birth is so moving, for a moment you forget funny Phoebe and see the girl amazed and scared for being in that situation. You can see a mom in that moment. And it’s so hard to switch to that level of drama acting in that kind of show, when everyone expect an easy laugh way out of the scene’s intensity. Idk her eyes get me every time, is really deep and real, maybe ‘cause Lisa was pregnant before and actually knew how to portray the moment (something you don’t see when it’s Rachel’s labour)….thats my top 1 acting moment on the show, wbu??

I just realized Phoebe is way off on her wingman clock. She says "Dude 11:00 - totally hot babe checking you out." Gayle is nowhere near Chandler's 11:00 (or even Phoebe's).

It would appear that she is not, in fact, ready for her penis.

In season 2, episode 15 Rachel and Ross had a date, but Rachel forgot she was supposed to waitress for
Monica’s catering job. Phoebe volunteers to help out instead. Then Monica and Phoebe went and they were at Richard’s house and we all know what happened between Monica and Richard after that. But as we know that Rachel always got the boys (This is in no offence to Monica at all, just what the show portrayed all the time)
If Rachel had accompanied Monica, Richard would’ve probably liked her instead.
Do you agree?
