SUCK A DICK, DUMBSHITS!

The difference between Sunny and Friends, is while both group are awful people, is that Sunny doesn't want us to root for them, to see them succeed. The Friends group are awful people, but we're still supposed to admire and support them.

And people by and large did. Despite Ross being a turbo-creep stalker weirdo just tons of people were obsessed with that will they-won't they poo poo with him and Rachel.



I thought this was the general consensus? Seinfeld is kind of painful to watch now, everything about it feels so dated and stale. I'm not saying Friends was a better show, just that it remains the same trashy popcorn it always was.

When was the last time you guys actually tried to watch Seinfeld?

Yesterday. I think the real question is when was the last time you tried to watch it.

About a year ago. I'm genuinely very surprised by all this.

You honestly thought Friends was better revered in the cultural zeitgeist than Seinfeld? lol

No that isn't what I said; I said it doesn't hold up as well in 2017.

I'm not an unreasonable internet idiot. I will give Seinfeld another chance to hold up in 2017.

And I guess if you're used to Always Sunny's brand of "Seinfeld but drunk and/or high on cocaine", then yeah, it's gonna seem a little tame in comparison.

I want to say this might be part of why I didn't think it held up. Seinfeld is perhaps a victim of its own success in that way.

They're all on Hulu. Well, Seinfeld, 30 Rock and Futurama at least, I dunno about scrubs. But yeah, shuffling them all would be loving fantastic for those nights I can't sleep (literally every night)

For awhile there there were youtube channels that basically did this with various shows, I don't know if those went away or I just haven't seen them in awhile.

Phoebe found a child’s missing cat and tried to justify keeping it for herself by saying it was her dead mother. And the show tried to play her off as the sympathetic character.

gently caress Phoebe.

After that I became sad that a cop never knocked on Rachel’s door to tell her they found Phoebe’s bloody beaten body in a ditch.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Counterpoint to your weird rear end poo poo, Phoebe had sympathy for that smelly cat when nobody else did and knew that it wasn't the cats fault people were feeding it smelly stuff.
