Discussion The One After Ross Says Rachel

Rewatching the show for the millionth time (and first time as a Reddit user!)

Rachel is incredibly unlikeable in this episode, to the point it borders on freaking gross how much she wants to go in-between Ross and Emily. However, why is it the thing that is bothering me the most being that the fashion-forward person of the show, took a giant ass bag from New York to London and didn’t think to pack a freaking presentable outfit for the wedding of one of her best friends? She is so gross.

I know people say season one is prime, and I kind of agree, but the season three looks really look really nice too. Underrated big time

An example is during Season 9 and episode 15 when Ross and Phoebe are getting mugged and Ross says “I knew you be my death Phoebe Buffay. “

Does not have to be their actual correct name can include there alias.

I had no idea Lisa kudrow was on cheers, and Matthew Perry was on 902.0, but they both did pretty good from the small clips that I’ve seen. Aniston was on quantum leap too.

Discussion Something that has always bothered me

When Ross was getting the annulment from Rachel, he had said he got it taken care of, but he lied.

When he actually goes to his divorce lawyer, he doesn't want to tell Rachel or something. I know Im reading too far into this, but how difficult would it have been to tell Rachel he needs her to sign some things?

Like, "Hey, I need you here to sign some stuff so we can get it official." IDK, just bothered me.

I love their banter, even before they get together, cause it just feels really natural to me. I’ve definitely had this kind of conversation before, and it just feels very real.

Image is there because I'm kinda asking it how Janice asks the while "who of the six of you" line, which is one of my favourite janice moments because of the way she asks it.

But yeah, which friend do you feel grew the most and who grew the least as a person?

Discussion The reason I love Chandler and Monica so much

27 Upvotes

Every time I started a rerun, I always began from s4 finale or s5 premiere because I love Monica and Chandler so much.

It's really hard to see a relationship like this on screen. They don't have dramatic on-and-off. It's not a prince charming history. It's not "you have to overcome all the difficulties to get your Mr. Right" type of relationship. As in Monica's words "I think that we fell in love and we work hard at our relationship. Some days we work really hard. "

Their relationship is so real, to a level that you cannot believe this is a "sit-com" romance. Yes they have a dramatic beginning, but I suppose a lot of relationships have a kinda dramatic beginning. And they tried, they were very careful, they cared until they were sure about each other.

Also, when you think about these two characters, they have almost opposite traits. Chandler is afraid of commitment because his parents divorced, but his parents still love him very much, and he didn't need to compete for his parents' love because he is the only child. On the other hand, Monica's parents have a passionate and stable relationship for decades, which makes Monica crazy about marriage and babies. But her parents favor Ross, her mom downgraded her, so she had to compete for everything in her life, and she got OCD. Monica gave out her unconditional love to Chandler and always supported him, so Chandler felt safe to commit, he felt safe to say I love you. And Chandler is willing to change for Monica's OCD and lose to her. They are perfect for each other. You wouldn't realize that until you look back at their relationship. Even before London, they just fit, you know they can stay.

And looking back to S1-4, I feel like they are always in a situationship. They flirt, they cuddle, they hold hands, they comfort each other, they seek safety toward each other, they share secrets, they share everything. They are always there for each other.

Words fail me, I don't have enough words to describe how much I love Mondler. They are just so good, so romantic, so sweet.

Quotes Emily… Emma

27 Upvotes

So I have watched Friends on repeat for decades! It’s my always in the background show, not diss similiar to thousands of others.

So imagine my surprise when I finally noticed something new. Rachel and her sister are arguing about the fact that she pierced Emma’s ears and Rachel said something along the lines of “you don’t even care about Emily” and Ross calmly says “Emma”.

Totally paraphrasing Rachel’s line because I was shocked at how hilarious that was and that I had never noticed it!

Found this really old clip of Cox’s first episode doing family ties, it’s kind of funny how she was nervous about the audience reactions, but when she went out to do friends, she got like 10 years of experience with it so that’s kind of cool

Discussion Out of pocket plot line

3 Upvotes

It really bothers me that when going through the process of Monica and Chandler getting Joey to officiate their wedding, Phoebe casually says something to the extent of "imagine he found out who you actually wanted to hookup with that night" revealing that Monica wanted Chandlers best friend Joey, and Chandler wasnt even a thought process just a backup fling. Firstly as a man, i think due to awkwardness and embarrassment i would end it right there instead of just getting over it, and multiple friendships would be ruined for life. Secondly how is Phoebe not in trouble or held accountable even one bit?? Nobody says "Phoebe how could u say that, look what you've done" 😂. I just think its glazed over, for such a severe mental exchange
