I think most people say that it’s not because it’s popular to do so. The series has some genuinely funny bits.

                I’m not making any judgement in regard to your opinion, or even disagreeing, I thought friends was lame as fuck. I’m merely pointing out that friends is overwhelmingly considered a comedic success, and that our opinion is by definition the unpopular one.

            Late by all accounts, but the whole episode where Phoebe finds out about Monica and Ross and tries to mess with them is funny.

            I think there are probably some funny scenes in early series, too.

            Most of it is very surface level and bland though.

      Definitely successful, but it’s popular for people to say that they think it’s not funny, which is what I was getting at.

        Tell me you’re way too young to have watched it when it first aired… without telling me you’re way too young to have watched it when it first aired.

            Eh. It was shit then, and it’s only gotten shittier since (see: cash grab antics, laugh track BS, etc. above), but you go on thinking that a “popular” opinion is popular because it is, and not because it’s the rational, self-respecting opinion that many simply default to and never apply further attention to the subject again. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      What’s the spin off?

      Also the money is not proof of funny, you could make that off with the drama and romance series too.

      But the quotes are amazing. PIVOT! PIVOT!
