View Full Version : Friends

I did a search. I didn't find anything. I can't believe this thread doesn't exist. Maybe I'm the only one to watch them?
Anyway... Friends is the best TV show ever. It is full of funny moments, sarcastic comments and loveable characters. Phoebe and Joey are the best because of their natural innocence. I laugh to everything that Joey says or does. He's too funny for my stomach! :) I like Chandler being so sarcastic, Rachel so lovely, Ross such a geek .Monica is the only one that bothers me. Not all the time, but when she acts like a jerk...
So, does anyone watch Friends here or I was wrong to make a thread on this? :o

I watch Friends. I don't think it is as funny as it used to be though. The whole Chandler and Monica trying to have a baby plot is getting old. And also the fact that it is beginning to have a plot that you need to follow week to week isn't very enjoyable. But I am glad that it is sticking around for another year. My thursdays would be so lonely without it.

I rarely get to watch it nowadays but I've always loved that show. I've been told I'm just like Phoebe because of my natural blonde behavior I sometimes have (airhead). And then I've been told I'm like Monica because of my Obsessive Compulsivenss and I really like to cook for everyone.
Example: I was just typing that and I remeber that about 20 minutes ago I put vegetables on to cook....yeah I almost burnt them.

I can't believe there's not already a thread about this!! Friends is definitely the best show ever, and I watch it every single night. I think I've seen every episode by now! I love every character except Ross. He just annoys me for some reason. Also, I REALLY hope Rachel and Joey get together!! Anyone agree with me on this??

I only watch Friends occasionnally for a very simple reason. I HATE the French version. It sounds as if each character has the same voice.( Well you can tell boys from girls but it seems that Chandler, Ross and Joey have the same voice and the same goes for Phoebe, Rachel and Monica). Moreover, most of the humour is lost in the process of translation.
My piece of advice: If you ever come to france on holiday, don't waste your time watching it. The best thing to do is not to turn the TV on at all ;)

Joey's my favorite. Ross is so smart he's stupid. the rest well they are just there.

Oh how I loath that show. It's corny and repetitive and should have died years ago. Ross is a weenie, Joey is a moron, Chandler is witless, Pheobe is a contradiction of herself, Rachel is fake, and Monica is annoying. Stopped watching it a long time ago.
Charmed
May 6th, 2003, 2:27 pm
Well I'm not as a big of a fan as I once was a few years ago but I still watch it. Joey is my favourite character, he is just so stupid. The other cast members humour seems too forced.

I like Friends. I watch the reruns a lot and watch it every Thursday.
But, I have a good friend who is obsessed with it. She has posters, a Rachel haircut (not kidding), and many, many collages.
It's becoming too obsessive and kind of scary.
But, I am a huge Rachel/Joey fan. I used to not like Joey, but ever since he fell in love with Rachel, I've become a Joey fan. I'm also a huge Phoebe/Mike fan. I hope she doesn't go back to David (Hank Azaria).

I LOVE Friends. I think it is the best comedy sitcom ever. I practically grew up watching it! I was really really small...like 6/7yrs old...maybe even smaller when I started to watch Friends. I love their humor....they just rock. And it's gonna be really sad when they end.
And the best thing is, you can watch reruns of Friends over and over again and you still cannot get tired of it! I just love how they grew over the past years and the way each episode relate to one another and everything. They should be getting a special award or something you know? They're THAT good.

Okay, here in my country we have just found out that Rachel was pregnant. With Ross... and what I want to know is - will they be together?

May 22nd, 2003, 8:44 pm
Guardian Angel - Rachel was pregnant with Ross baby. They do however not get together. Rachel now has feeling for Joey and in the last epsiod of the seson they end up together. But you will have to wait to see what will happen and if they will last.
I hope that Rachel will end up with Ross. I just can't see her with Joey.
I stoped watching the show that offten. It just was not as funny as it used to be.
Guardian Angel
May 22nd, 2003, 8:50 pm
Rachel and Joey? No! They are so - not for each other... :(
I always imagined Ross & Rachel, Joey & Phoebe and Chandler & Monica...
Oh, ****! But, does Ross act like a father to Rachel's and his baby?

May 22nd, 2003, 9:18 pm
I'm so happy that Rachel and Joey are together! I just don't understand how anybody could want her to be with Ross. I mean sure, they have a history together, but Ross has serious problems with commitment. They were never happy when they were going out, and you just know that if they got together, they'd get divorced a few months later.

FatalBeauty, I totally agree! :D I love the pairing of Rachel and Joey because they have so much chemistry together. And it was incredibly sweet when Joey told her that he's only been in love once - and that was with her. Very cute. Since I'm a big Rachel and Joey fan, I was really excited by the season finale. I just hope they stay together and don't go back to the Rachel and Ross thing. In my humble opinion, the pairing has just been overdone, and Ross has become the most annoying friend. I don't want Rachel to end up with him. :sigh:

Ross has become the most annoying friend.
Ditto! Me and my mom talk about this all the time. When the series started, he was this sweet, sensitive guy, but now he's a jerk who gets mad over stupid little things. He's not even funny anymore, and the show would probably be better without him. He's also way too overprotective of Rachel, and they're not even going out!
Guardian Angel: It sounds like you're a little less than two seasons behind us, but I'm not positive.

May 24th, 2003, 12:05 pm
I'm not sure what my opinion of Friends is now. SOmetimes i think its got much better, sometimes i think its worstened. But my general stance is that its basicaly the same level of humour all through it.
Joey makes the series i think. Hes just so good. I mean, Joey and Chandler anyway. There cool. It wouldn't be the same with out them, they add an element to it. They should have there own series...well, maybe not.
But its one of the best comedy series. But if theres one thing that has been good is comedy series from America, there a mixed bunch, but there have been some greats, Cheers, Friends, Frasier to name a few.

I have to say I didn't like Friends in the past. Don't ask me why. It just didn't fit in with what I expected from a show.
But, there was till I actually sat down and watched the full show, yup, the whole 30 minutes. Man, was I hooked on it ever since.
Now, my favourite is Phoebe. I just love the way she gives her lines and just be blunt about it when it is actually sarcatic. Cool stuff.
seashell323
May 26th, 2003, 5:36 am
I agree with the comments about Joey making the series. He's the coolest (not to mention the funniest)! He's always the one that makes me laugh. I also agree that Monica and Ross are the most annoying friends. I've already shared my thoughts on Ross, but I've also gotten tired of Monica at times in the past. I think she's gotten slightly better in the last one or two seasons, but for awhile there (that probably falls in about the middle of the series so far) she was obnoxious. I've always loved Phoebe, Rachel, Joey, and Chandler. :D
Charmed
May 26th, 2003, 5:41 am
Ross is my least favourite of the Friends gang. He has just never seemed to fit the dynamic. Joey has always been my favourite. And it can differ from episode to episode from how I view the rest.
Monica(Courtney Cox) looks very similar to my brothers ex-girlfriend- I think thats why he stopped watching it.

They were never happy when they were going out, and you just know that if they got together, they'd get divorced a few months later.
I don't really like this whole Joey/Rachel thing. For one why must there be romance between them? Why can't they just stay friends? I mean first there was almost a Ross and Phoebe in the first episode, then there was Ross and Rachel, them Monica and Chandler and now Joey and Rachel. Ok, the Ross and Rachel thing was fine because he liked her for like a long time but why must the others have a relationship? For me the show was a lot more fun when they were just friends.
Also the Joey/Rachel won't work and Joey will have his heart broken. Why? Well, Rachel always seems to go back to Ross. Remember when Rachel found out Ross liked here but Ross had a girlfriend (Julie), when Ross broke-up with Julie Rachel didn't want him because he had made a list. It was only after she saw a vidio from her High School years and how Ross felt about her that she fogave him.
When they break up because Ross slept with a stripper and Ross get a new girlfriend Rachel tells him she still loves him. Ross then has to chose and picks Rachel but she doesn't want to get back together unless he takes the blame for the break up.
Later when Ross is about to marry Emily Rachel again tells Ross she loves him.
To me it seems that Rachel can't let go of Ross. Each time Ross finds someone Rachel had to spoil it by making Ross fall for her again. It seems that Rachel is useing Ross's feeling for her to stop him from having relationships.
I'm sure that in the end Rachel will go back to Ross. After she has been with Joey for awhile she will see how happy Ross is with his new girlfriend and she will tell him she loves him, again.

Does anyone like the Tv show Friends? If so...
Who is your favorite female character?
Mine would probably be Rachel. She's funny and the actress Jennifer Anniston plays her very well.
Who is your favorite male character?
I like Chandler because I think he brings a lot of comedy to the show with his sarcasm.
Who do you think should end up together? :love:
Rachel/Joey forever!
Last but not least.... What do want to see happen in the next season?
I want to see what happens to Rachel and Joey, the producers left such a cliffhanger for those two.

Oh, im so glad someone made a thread about this! Friends is definently my all time favorite show. I have the first 2 seasons on DVD and im working on getting the 3rd! As for the questions...
Who is your favorite female character?
Has to be Rachel, even though Phoebe's pretty funny too.
Who is your favorite male character?
This is a tough decision... I'm leaning more towards Chandler because I love his sarcasism and sense of humor. But then again, I love Ross too, cause he's such a geek!
Who do you think should end up together?
Ah well... I was hoping Ross and Rachel, but things arent looking good, are they? :sigh: I s'pose Rachel and Joey are oK...
Last but not least.... What do want to see happen in the next season?
Isn't the next season the last one, forever?? Im sure alot is going to happen. As long as its funny and not boring im sure ill be happy with whatever!:D

I love Friends! I especially like how the story progresses: Chandler and Monica get married, Ross and Rachel have a baby, etc. etc. The show is absolutely hillarious.
I actually like a lot of the older episodes. But one of the good things about this show is that the episodes don't get worse as the show gets older. Some shows (i.e. the simpsons) begin to loose their magical comical touch after a while. But Friends is still funny!
Fleur

I like Friends, It's pretty funny. Most of the time thought I usually only catch the older reruns, but those I consider the funniest. My favortie episode has to be the one where they play jeopardy. That one was hilarious. :lol:
My favorite characters would have to be Chandler for his sarcasm, and Phoebe, because she's just so strange.

So, the final episodes are coming up. And, while that's interesting in that some loose plot lines will potentially be tied up, I was wondering if anyone has noticed...
Is Courtney Cox pregnant? I swear she's got a special pudge that the producers are specifically trying to hide with types of clothing, close shots, etc.. I just wonder because so many shows right now have pregnant female stars and they're playing the "hide and seek" game a lot lately. I don't know why this is interesting to me, but I think it's hilarious what some shows try to do to hide the obvious, or soon-to-be obvious.
But, yes, Friends is coming to a close. I'm really getting sick of the Rachel and Ross thing in that neither is willing to fess up about their feelings. But, other than that, I love the show, and the positive thing for me about this last season is that the show is being more slap-sticky with its humor.

Ross
Phoebe and Joey are really funny. Chandler and Rachel and medium funny. Monica is sometimes funny but I never find Ross funny. It's very rare when I laugh about something he said.

Is Rachel with Ross or Joey in the end?

Little did I know, Rachel and Joey wouldn't last. I grew up watching "Friends" and with the series ending very soon, I'm really gonna be emotional.

Does anyone know how many episodes were there after it?
If you are talking about the episode where they first kiss (which ended season 9 in the U.S.), so far there have been 14 episodes in season 10. Any more questions, just ask I'm like a walking Friends dictionary; I love it! It's just the best show. It is funny and realistic without getting too "heavy" into real life.
Does anyone have any predictions for the series finale?
Mine (w/ spoilers based on the past few US episodes): Joey will get a job offer in L.A., setting up his spinoff "Joey". Monica & Chandler's baby will be born and they'll be moving. A small part of me is wondering if Mon will find out that she's pregnant.... Phoebe?? I don't know. She just got married, I don't know what's going to happen to her and Mike. Rachel- I think she's going to take the job in Paris, but realize that she can't take Emma away from Ross and that she wants to be with him and give up the job. I don't want to see Ross leave Ben. I don't want him to give up his job to follow her to Paris. It just seems to me that he's made a lot of sacrifices for her and it is her turn to do something for him. I do want them together. I would also love to see Carol/Susan and Ben in at least one of the last episodes.

I do love that show. 2nd best after Seinfeld. Unlike Seinfeld though it never gets repetitive, which is why it has been running so long. The situations are always differrent. My favorite friend would be Chandler. His sarcasm is just hilarious. And watching him worm out of a tough situation is funny as hell. Most annoying would be Monica. I dont think she is funny at all. Favorite episodes are the one with the Holiday Armadillo, and the one with Ross' denial which was at the beginning of this season.
Also note how the sextet in the HP group are similar to this sextet. We have the sarcastic guy(Ron, Chandler), the guy who is innocent at first then becomes hot-tempered(Harry, Ross), the lovable, gullible fool (Joey, Neville), a spunky chick(Ginny, Rachel), a bossy type(Hermione, Monica) and the dreamy, erratic female(Phoebe, Luna).

Has anyone noticed that there are tiny wierd references to older episodes every now and then. For example, when Joey has a crush on Rachel and tells Phoebe, he tries to make up list of things he does not like about her. Ross does that at the very beginning and they have a big fight about it. Remember? And in the episode when monica gets irritated with Chandler's work laugh , we see the boss slapping him on his butt and calling him 'Bing!' which we have seen before annoys Chandler like hell.

Friends has actually turned me off a bit for the past few seasons, but oh my! The finale... I started to cry halfway through... (I feel like an obsessive ignoramus, but then, I am, so I'm par for the course :cool:) It was, without question, right up there with the top ten episodes ever. Really, I can't think of a better way to have ended the show. The litmus test for me was that I didn't feel bitter or resentful at any of the final developments- this episode didn't shock us or cheapen anything that has happened in the last ten years. My memories of Friends are all the rosier, thanks to the love and earnesty the writers and actors invested into their final effort. A job well done, and well appreciated.

Oh it was so sad, how they ended with the picture frame/door thingy. I was bawling so hard I couldnt talk!!! I thought they should have ended it with all of them sitting on the couch in Central Perk, but thats just my opinion. Amadeus, I saw that trailer too!!

I can't believe that the writers of Friends left us hanging with that last episode!!!!!!!
But I'm really glad that Rachel and Ross got back together, and that Monica and Chandler (did I spell that right?) had twins.
It truely is the best comedy sitcom of all time and I'm really sad that it ended. :upset:

ILOVE Friends. I have the first seven seasons on DVD, and have watched every episode at least twice. I don't cry, but I did last night (watching the finale). It is so sad to think that it's all over! Joey will be a fun show, but without the others to play off of, it wont be the same. As Rachel and Monica said back in season six, "It's the end of an era!"
Actually, the finale wasn't the best I thought it could be. But I was ecstatic that they threw in a bunch of the running jokes: Phoebe's 'philange' fixation(and haul a** attitude), 'on a break', the chick and the duck, monica's insane strength, etc... And, my favorite pairing of characters being Joey and Chandler (the ultimate bachelors even when Chandler married Monica), the storyline around the chick and the duck was special to me, because it was like back in season one, where they are just two guys hanging out with their pet poultry. It brought closure, all around, by returning to the beginning. That same closure Rachel lectured Ross's answering machine about in season 2. Farewell, Friends, you'll be missed.

And on a side note, I'm sick and tired of people critisizing Friends. Critics who say it went to long, people who don't watch in the first place and think it is stupid and unrealistic-to all of them I'd like to say: Up yours! Let us fans mourn our Thursday night highlight, it's not hurting you anyways. :upset: :upset: :upset:

Well I love Friends. The writing and acting it by far the best I've seen on anything. I didn't think I would get as upset about a show the way I did but I'm sad to see it go yet I am glad to see all the characters come full circle.

It's on right now behind me, but I don't like it. It's like, the same jokes over and over again, and there is laughter at every tiny thing that the characters say. It's like "Hey, Monica." [Hahahahaha *applause*]. :rolleyes:

I do love that show. 2nd best after Seinfeld. Unlike Seinfeld though it never gets repetitive, which is why it has been running so long. The situations are always differrent.
I would have to agree! Seinfeld comes a close 2nd. I loved "Friends" and the writers of the show are comedic geniuses, not to mention the chemistry between all 6 casts made the show a phenomenonal success. :)
Although I'd disagree with you about Monica. At times, Phebes can be annoying but she's great fun! Monica has to be the strickler out of the 3 girls. I mean you have this wacky girl, the serious one who is Monica and Rachel...?

The last episode aired on American TV but it has not yet been shown on British TV. I think it is meant to be shown this week though. I have not really kept up to date with the sitcom but I'll probably still see the last episode.

I am at this minute watching the last Friends episode and I just love the babies there so cute and at the moment it is the airport scene after the break but the babies’ wow. Ok so I can't help it with the babies’ thing it must be my age.
The break up scene, well that brought back up the feelings I had when it was time to say goodbyes to my university friends. :sad:
They where good times though. ;)

The last episode was great! :D The babies were cute. Erica and Jack. :D I loved the bit where Ross was shouting "Did she get off the plane? Did she get off the plane?" and then Rachel said "I got off the plane" and was standing there. :D All in all, it was great. :D

I thought it was very sweet but not so funny. I can't imagine how else I would of wanted it to end but I'm not sure it was exactly like that. But all the right bits were there so I'm happy with it.
I think the problem with any finale is expectations being set so high. But it was weird, the episode before with Rachels going away parrty when she spoke to each other seperately made me well up more than this one. But I did like they called the baby boy Jack ... Jack Gellar is my favourite and I was sad I missed Elliot Gould on Jonathon Ross due to Big Brother :(

Heh, I have to agree im sad that the show is ending:( but my favorite is Joey, hes just the crazy goofy guy, and not to mention his famous "hey, how you doin?":) Phoebe...shes like Joey, except she can be a bit stupid sometimes...and we love her for that:) They are my 2 favorites, I think Chandler is too serious sometimes, and Ross is ok, Monica and Racheal are ok too.

I like Monica and Chandler much better than Ross and Rachel, but I am SO glad Ross and Rachel are finally back together! What does everybody think about "Joey"? I think that they should have a Ross and Rachel wedding at the end of Joey's first season.

I don't really think that they're going to show the other Friend characters besides Joey in the show, "Joey". I'd like them to, but if they did it would just be Friends part 2.

Chandler is the best, because he is the most like me, sarcastically dissing myself and others. I loved the ending of friends tho i cried throught the whole thing practically!!!
My favorite episode...wow thats a toughy...the first one that comes to mind is The One With Ross's Tan!!! HEHEHE pure greatness. I could spend hours quoting friends.
I also heard that chandler will make quite a few guest appearances on Joey!

What are people's funniest moment from friends?
Minewould have to be the one where Ross and Rachel get back together fora few episodes and then break up again whilst in bed together.
That whole scene was just so funny. With Ross saying he fell asleep due to Rachels letter being so long and then pretending to cry when faced with the prospect of breaking up with her!

I heard that too, was VERY excited...and a R/R wedding on Joey's show would be awesome!!
I was thrilled that they finally got them back together at the end of Friends, but it was just in the nick of time, we didn't get to really see them together much. What, the last 10 minutes? :sad:

I've been watching Friends since I was eight. I can't believe they're not going to do another season! *sob* Anyway, I'm looking forward to Joey, but I don't think it's going to be as entertaining... My favorite character is Chandler. ^^ My favorite scene is when they're in Barbados and Joey was pulled into Monica and Chandler's room as Ross came into Rachel's.
"Have you seen Joey anywhere?"
"No, no I haven't..."
"You would think he'd be around here somewhere!"
"You would think!"
I thought that was so funny. ^.^

Will Joey be shown on Channel 4 like Friends is? I hope it is! Rachel and Monica are my fave characters...
Has anyone seen the episode called 'The One Where Joey Loses His Insurance'? That's so funny when Ross puts on the English accent and Rachel and Monica come in to the lecture and make fun of him.

I am an absolutely obsessive Friends fan! Plus I'm a very ardent R&R (Ross and Rachel) fan. Thats why I was so put off by the Joey/Rachel storyline. I have 3 of the DVD sets with most of my favorite episodes. I think I compare everything to Friends, even Harry Potter. Some of my favorite episodes: TOW Ross Finds out, TOW the Prom Video, TOW the Jellyfish, TOW Chandler Can't Cry, TOW Phoebe's birthday (I think that's what its called), TOW the East German laudry detergent, TOW the Blackout and The Last One (just because its the last one and reunion of R&R).
I think Joey and Phoebe are the funniest friends. The funniest moment for me was in TOW the Blackout, when Phoebe, Monica and Joey are singing and we see Ross fighting with the cat on the balcony. I remember I laughed like crazy when I first saw that and I still do. :rotfl: The most romantic moment: R&R's first kiss at Central Perk and the M&C proposal. The saddest moment: R&R taking a break.
And my favorite Phoebe songs:
Smelly Cat (you gotta love this)
Two of them kissed last Night
The Christmas song (happy haunaka, monica. may your christmas be snowy, joey..)
Little Black Curly Hair :rotfl:
The baby song

As I can't pick the funniest one - let's face it: it's impossible - the two I enjoyed the most were:
TOW the flashback - when Chandler's girlfriend asked them if they had slept with each other, and then she asked: what about almost...and it turned out, that almost everyone had those moments. That was great.
TOW the past thanksgiving - it was when they told stories about thanksgiving - and Chandler found out that Monica cut his toe cause he called her fat. Plus the dancing turkey.

I believe Friends is the BEST SHOW EVER. I haven't found many who agree, but Ross is most definitely my favorite. Anyone else feel that way? He was definately better in the beginning of the show, but I still really like him. He was like my ideal boyfriend in his beginning years but I'm not so sure now. He's incredibly passionate (particularly about Rachel, they've always been meant for each other) and sweet and he can be funny but mainly because he's being stupid. Like when he tries to make Ben give up his Barbie:rotfl:
I think Chandler is really funny, his sarcasm is so great. He is my next favorite, I'd say. Probably because he's most like me. Incredibly sarcastic and not confident in himself. My favorite line of his is:
Someone says like "Guess what?" or something to that effect. I believe its in TOW All the Poker, but I'm not sure. I just remember it's in Ross's apartment as of season 1 or 2.
"The 5th dentist caved an now they're all reccomending Trident?" -Chandler. I love when he says things like that:rotfl:
Monica is the only one who can get on my nerves. Joey and Phoebe are funny in a stupid way. Rachel is cool too. I really love them all. I always thought Gunther was funny too....
It is definately my favorite show ever. My parents bought me seasons 1-3 and I've watched them A LOT. I'm saving up for 4:D I am totally in love with the show and I'm so sad that it's over. But the episodes never get old, so its ok...

I love this show to pieces! Everyday my friends and I go,"Did you see the episode last night?!" Yea, they are all the repeats, but they are just so funny! We are always quoting it. I think my favorite characters are Joey and Phoebe. They are just a riot. One of my favorite episodes of all time is the one where they're like,"They don't know that we know they know!" I laugh everytime. :)

This is my favourite TV show. I love the DVDs, and the games are a blast. :)
I read the whole thread, and was upset that so many people seemed to love the Rachel/Joey thing. I for one have always been an R&R shipper.
A couple weeks ago, I wrote a silly Friends fanfic. I think you'd enjoy it. Read it at http://www.livejournal.com/users/ailehtac. In fact, you'll especially like it probably, because I also mention Hogwarts in it.
I wrote a part 2 the other day, but it got lost when LJ crashed. :(

I love(d) all the characters in the show. It´s so sad that there won´t be any more seasons :upset:
