Joey has the herp when the show begins.

Q: assuming herpes is passed from friend to friend with every kiss, at the end of the show, how many friends have it? Bonus if you trace the infection path.

FRIENDS is set up almost exactly like seinfeld except it doesnt attempt anything but the most milquetoast of sitcom motions. i know seinfeld is technically about nothing but thats the core of it's subversion. theres a mutual understanding between the viewers and creators about what the show is about. in friends though this relationship is nonexistent, the show is a by-the-numbers sitcom using the sensibilities of network television circa 2002.

most of the characters are straight up narcissists who if they were your actual friends you would loving hate them. it follows the basic sitcom setup of "i want thing. i am going to screw my friends over for thing. oh no the nature of thing is not what i thought, and i also screwed over friend!! what am i going to do? i am going to double-down and make the situation worse" except this is not the core joke, like seinfeld, its just a necessity of the serial television medium

the lovely thing with friends though is that even tho its just another sitcom thats passively pouring someone else's value system straight into your skull its flashy production values and insane popularity pretends that it has some measure of relatability and emotional depth to it when its literally just Full House

FRIENDS might have done more damage to society than anyone can possibly imagine

the people i know that are FRIENDS fans are all insanely bad at interpersonal relationships because they do things purely through a sense of 'what they are supposed to do' like their entire personality complex is dictated by what society deems acceptable. i guess you could call them sheeple but i dont care about flouride in drinking water im just talking about the way they act in response to stimuli - they respond with behaviors learned from watching other people except they have not learned those behaviors from real people they have learned them from television. i mean thats like core human nature if you aren't autistic but the subtle difference is that the people on a television screen are not actually people - they are actors playing fictional characters

ross is probably the worst person in the entire show. i think he's supposed to be the protagonist that people relate to but like no aspect of the show's drama is relateable and the characters all act in incredibly emotionally neglectful and straight up abusive ways

So its basically an unfunny version of Its Always Sunny, and the fan base doesn't understand that they shouldn't be emulating the cast? I could never stand to sit through more than five minutes of Friends, so I never had a good understanding of the characters and/or plot. There was just something there that I immediately found off putting.

What's wrong with you? You don't even have your beer goggles on!!
Friends is the best sitcom. It gets bad in the later seasons but before then it's pretty good. The characters are likable even though they're mostly idiots. Ross is the most cryngeworthy person on television but that's why he's good. He could give Larry David a run for his money. I can't remember a sitcom where the characters aren't fuckups to some extent so that's not really valid criticism of the show.

It's dumb when you apply any real world logic to it but that's the point. I have no idea how anybody could take the show at face value.

I'm not sure exactly why Phoebe was one of the Friends. 4 of them were upper middle class, one of working class and Phoebe was some homeless criminal masseuse who also had psychic powers or something.

Anyway Rachel had hard nipples almost all the time.
