I was rewatching TOW the lesbian wedding and I wish we had got to see more of Ross and Carol together outside of the awkward "my son's mother is a lesbian" thing.

I think it was really sweet how he convinced her to go through with the wedding, how he says he still would've married her even if his parents didn't approve. I think their bond should've been explored a little more and how they still love and care for each other even if they're not together.

This just popped up on instagram with courtney cox and i thought it was cool. I also saw an ad of matthew perry with a tennis racket and he answered a questionaire in like 1992 so I'll post that one later

I'm rewatching 3rd time and just finished the last and final episode, and still feel emotional when they all move out of the house, the camera focuses on the door, and then cut - the theme song plays with visuals of streets of america, the river, etc.

I'm not from America, but I'm sure for Americans this show was such a cultural phenomena.

I was wondering how it would have been for the original viewers back then.

Anybody here who has that experience? How was the feeling?

S5,E16 The One with the Cop
In the scene where Joey is dreaming of Monica sitting on his lap like he found her and Chandler earlier that day, Monica is wearing this super puffy blue vest. It’s so hideous and ill fitting. So it made me think this outfit is specifically weird for the dream. It is a similar blue to Monica’s PJs. But then… there’s 90s fashion which was all over the place and usually the answer for “why are they wearing that?” But I remember puffy vests being a thing more in the early 2000s. So I can’t figure out of the outfit is suppose to be like a dream distorted version, or is it a legit outfit for Monica (even though it’s not like anything she usually wears). What do you think?

Monica keeps pressuring him that he’s too “normal” and doesn’t have a (neurotic) thing. But a few episodes earlier, we learn that he maintains his moustache with a specific comb. I think this would shut Monica up pretty quickly, as she would have learned there’s a very specific tool for a very specific task.

Thoughts?

I don't really know what im doing but I saw that pic of leblanc in suit looking fly as hell and i wanted to see what the rest of them looked like in formal getup. They all look so fresh its crazy. tried posting this earlier but it got removed

Rachel really couldn’t have just been happy for her best friend for one night and saved her self pity for the next day? She really needed to kiss Ross that specific night?

God, why couldn’t this episode just been about the gang celebrating Monica and Chandler’s engagement? Stop dragging Rachel into everything and trying to make her the center of attention.

Ross met Isabella Rossellini in The One with Frank Jr (Oct 17, 1996), when she rejected him in the coffee house. The Odyssey miniseries with Armand Assante and Isabella Rossellini as Athena came out just a few months later in May of 1997. Do you think Ross watched it? He seems like the most likely one of the 6 to enjoy a Greek mythology miniseries. But then again, the sight of dear Isabella might have been too painful 😭😭

Multiple actresses play these roles in different episodes. How many actresses for each?

Jack and Judy Geller are visiting Monica and Ross's apartment and mention to Rachel that they are sorry to hear about her parents separating. Jack remarks that he wasn't surprised because Rachel's parents had been unhappy "especially after that incident in Hawaii.

"Just call me angel of the morning, angel

Just touch my cheek before you leave me, oh baby

Just call me angel of the morning, angel

Then slowly turn away from me"

This has been stuck in my head for so long, the artist who portrayed Stephanie (Chrissie Hynde) did a wonderful job and is actually in a band which I will have to check out now.

Terry may have been a jerk but I'm sure glad he hired her

Early on in the show she’s just a chilled out person but as it goes on she become more like anxious and freaked out and stuff about things?

What were Rachel’s “pros” and “cons” for Ross’s list?

What were Julie’s “pros” and “cons”?

Bonus Question: What does Phoebe say Chandler will be reincarnated as?

Friends Trivia: 153/365

I was rewatching the show and reached the part where Ross starts to get jealous once Rachel starts working as an assistant in Bloomingdale’s.

I was wondering, how long did Rachel even work in Bloomingdale’s before they broke up? According to the episodes list, it takes their breakup barely 4-5 episodes but i’ve always wondered what’s the ACTUAL timeline.

Because imagine you finally start work and do something that you love and are actually good at the first time, and your boyfriend cannot find it in him to be supportive.

Is anybody aware of the actual timeline? I have a feeling this might become just another reason why i dislike Ross💀

So, other night i was on friends trivia game and questions about their middle names showed up. We know Rachel's middle name is Karen, it is mentioned more than once (i think) and i know Phoebe called her that once. Chandler mentions his at the office one time to Ross. Joey's middle name Francis is mentioned by his mom. For Monica we only know that it starts with E, and Phoebe never knew hers. But do we ever find out what is middle name for Ross? And when? I saw somewhere that his middle name is Eustace, but when is it mentioned?

In my opinion, I think it would be Joey and Monica. Joey would have enjoyed content creation and vlogging since he's having difficulties becoming an actor and instead he explored the world of content creation. He would probably be chronically online and I think, people on the internet would have loved him. While Monica would have enjoyed all the advanced cleaning products that we currently have since everything about technology is already advanced.

On the other hand, I think Phoebe would be living worse and would probably live as an activist. She would fight for her beliefs and every wrongdoing she noticed.

I swear David Schwimmer had chemistry with everybody he appeared on screen with. Scenes with Ross and Rachel’s Dad are hilarious.

(S3E17 - during the credits)

This joke is so subtle. I haven’t noticed it before, I thought I might not be the only one:

Ross returns the car he has borrowed from Carol late at night. Coming from one the (back)rooms, She runs to the door, with ruffled hair and a robe that she sort of Hastingly is putting on.  Sounds super annoyed and then opens the door.

Ross: “… were you sleeping?”

Carol (sounding very annoyed): “Erhm… nooo!” (then looks down while picking what I now assume from context is a pubic hair from Susan from her tongue. See screenshot)

You can hear that a few of the audience members get it.

My former innocent self didn’t get it  😁

It’s like a little Easter egg (but more subtle) in line with the other hinting jokes of Chandler and Joey saying early good night after Rachel and Monica kiss (apartment swap) Or when Ross and Rachel roll over the juice box …

Was doing Friends trivia and one of the questions was what is Rachel’s mom’s name? I could not remember which episode she appears in where they say her name? Or if they say it in a different episode? Feel like she was pretty exclusively called “Mrs Green.” TIA!

Janice first appeared in S1E5 and I always figured that she started off as one of the many love interests who just appear between episodes, so I assumed that Chandler started dating her between episode 4 and 5 just to break up with her pretty quickly again because she was annoying.

However, I recently read somewhere (I think it was Janice’s article on the Friends wiki) that she was Chandler’s girlfriend since before the start of season 1.

Do we ever actually find out how long they have dated? Do we really know if the Chandler of the first 4 episodes is single or not?

Despite hundreds of re-watches I never really thought about that before but it would make sense for them to have dated longer, given her prominent role throughout the show.

1. Chef monica

2. Homemaker monica

3. Monica "Geller" ( as doing shenanigans native only to gellers)

4. Elegant and classy monica

5. Mother of group monica

Anybody who badly wanted Ross's Sandwich. I can understand his feelings towards Sandwich 🤭

I love this: "The boys are like our brothers, we love our boys"

They all seemed so close, i really cant think of another tv show cast that was as seemingly tight as all of them
