Cookie Cutter posted:If it's the same compound responsible for putrefaction, does that mean that rotting dead bodies literally smell like the worst most unwashed genitals ever? I have read before that semen and rotting corpses do have a similar odour, specifically in the way that some flowers that also have that smell have been associated with both death and sex. So that would check out, if true.

Ross was a teacher and not a very good one considering he dated his student. I wonder how bad the 'we were on a break!' arguments would sunder the internet if it ran for the first time these days.

SulfurMonoxideCute posted:And younger people are going to resonate more with 20 something singles and dating couples than married couples with kids in suburbia. Funnily enough, I think How I Met Your Mother actually aged worse than Friends despite being a more 'modern' show about a bunch of dating 20-somethings, because Ted is even whinier than Ross and Barney is less ethical of a womanizer than Joey. Has some okay parts but the entertainment value drops like a rock after the first couple seasons.

The loving Golden Girls had more poc actors, better messaging and far more positive queer representation than Friends despite being about a bunch of ageing retirees and predating it by close to a decade. It was also funnier.

Splicer posted:The big one is an illegal sublet from Monica's grandmother. This is mentioned in a throwaway line exactly once. There’s also the episode where Rachel pisses off the maintenance guy by putting pizza boxes down the trash chute, so he threatens to turn them in for the illegal subletting. Joey saves the day by being maintenance guy’s practice dance partner before the big Maintenance Man Ball. I’ve watched way too much friends.

MagusofStars posted:Ted is also a shitbag, in a way that’s very noticeable if you watch it again. Barney is the most blatantly problematic so much so that he distracts from Ted’s shittiness on first viewing, but Ted is pretty horrible too. How I Met Your Mother also gave us the "that's a penis" gif so I will forgive it being a bad sitcom.

Which is lovely but it's a perfect example of tokenism because everyone knew Ross and Rachel were going to get back together by the end so there was an obvious expiration date on that relationship.

I remember when Ross married the British women Helen Baxendale. I remember it clearly cause her dad taught me chemistry at secondary school. When it broke that his daughter was going to be in Friends it was massive news around the school and everyone was talking about it. She wasn't in the series long

Phoebe actually sticking with a relationship with a recurring guest star instead of ending up with Joey to tie the cast up neatly was probably the swerve if anything. Joey honestly got the rawest end of the deal all things considered. All his friends got married, he got progressively dumber as the series went on, and then he got the worst fate of being stuck in a spin-off afterwards (that apparently wasn't very good, I never watched it).

She wasn't in the series long Apparently their marriage was actually supposed to last, they just rewrote it because the actress got pregnant and they had to write her out of the series a lot earlier than intended (presumably they would have just had her pop up here and then like Ross' kid or Phoebe's husband to show that she was still around).

But she also couldn't stand these people so she'd count on me to perform a trick I learned from Penn & Teller. I'd start playing with a fork near my eye until the other people at the table noticed. Then I'd hide a creamer container in one hand up against my eye and use the fork in my other hand to stab it and squeeze the white liquid across the table while the older ladies screamed. They wouldn't ask my grandmother to take them out after that.

If the message is progressive and it's actually funny, its Golden Girls. If the scripts all have a strong evangelical christian moral message and it's not funny, it's Gilmore Girls.

Friends would have been so much better if they had just realised that Ross is actually a recurring guest character from Always Sunny who got lost and wandered into the wrong show. Instead they want you to feel bad for him. Episode 12: "Ross and Dee get Married" Episode 13: "Ross and Dee get Divorced" Three seasons later "Ross Geller: The Most Divorced Man in Philadelphia" etc etc Captain Fargle fucked around with this message at 17:54 on May 14, 2024 |
