    I watched Friends back in the day. My kid was watching it 2-3 years ago on Netflix and I caught 2 minutes of an episode and hated my younger self for even watching that garbage.

    I will kill anyone, regardless of height, who calls Anniston a JAG.

    Friends is embarrassingly bad. The actors all suck ball wax and the writing is generic, 90s PC vomit.
    I watched it a fair amount with my wife in my late 20s and the only redeeming thing I found was that I really wanted to bang Jennifer Aniston. The primary difference between it and Seinfeld is that Seinfeld is funny.
    The show wasn't always PC. Like the episode where Ross tries to hook up with his hot cousin.

    That's not a regular cousin.

    I don't know, I'm saying I don't like Friends because I DID watch it. Everyone did. It was the big show at the time, so I gave it a shot. Maybe even watched a couple of seasons. I remember the day, though, that I "noticed" the laugh track. It must have been an episode where they couldn't tape it live or something, because the laugh track was so ridiculously identical every single joke and the frequency was crazy.

    Joey had an underrated post career. Especially Showtime Episodes

    Self depreciating humor

    Seinfeld was funny.

    Friends was not very funny. I did sit through some episodes with attractive co-Ed’s during my 20’s putting in time. Sometimes it paid off. Sometimes it didn’t. Csb

    Here's my basic take...

    Jerry, George, Newman, Joey, Chandler, Ross, were all Charmin soft, whinny, wimpy bros in their roles.

    But where as Jerry, George, Newman, et al, were fucking hilarious (like some of the funniest shit ever), the Frens guysm were just annoying.

    Joey would be a good hang.

    And Chandler obviously had the hook up for good drugs.

    Friends was a thing in the 90's as others have already pointed out.

    Yes the laugh track is annoying. Now when the wife or other of the female identifying persons is watching reruns, I can't be in the same room.

    Which annoying nerd did David Schwimmer do better?



    or

    Schwimmer would have been fragged in Band of Brothers if he left his desk
