to think that Ross was in the wrong not Rachel? That Emily wasn't an absolute cow? Please can we have an old school friends debate?!

Just been watching friends...and it's been a long time since I have had a truly deep and meaningful debate about it haha.

Emily - after her and Ross split for good they acted like she was a complete bitch. Well, no actually...Ross said Rachel's name at the wedding, but she went ahead with the service. Then decided to give him another chance and went to the airport to see Ross leaving for their honeymoon with Rachel, but she still was willing to give him another chance on the conditions that he didn't see Rachel anymore. Now I know that obviously they couldn't have had Ross not seeing Rachel, but Emily wasn't actually unreasonable was she? From her point obviously it wasn't a lot to ask and she was very fair giving so many chances, right?! Grin

And what does everybody think about the 'We Were On A Break!!' thing?

[thinks about things too much emoticon]

Now, no spoiling my fun, telling me to get a life please. Wink Grin

I see your WENUS and raise you an ANUS.

the best episode for me was the one where phoebe has the sporty boyfriend who doesnt wear any pants, robert, and no-one can tell him they can see his bits.

then gunther comes out with "put the mouse back in the house this is a family place"

love it, also the eddie episodes were great.

series 2, 3 and 4 deffo the best for me.

happy2bhomely · 12/01/2013 19:42

I cant watch friends anymore without scrutinising every word Ross says! I find Joey really annoying, but used to find him funny. I love Phoebe and Mike. Monica bugs me but I recognise myself in her. Rachel is a bit blah.

My favourite scene in friends is the one with the adoption agency. When Chandler is talking to Erica, and says "I really want a kid. And when that day finally comes I'll learn how to be a good dad.But my wife.....she is already there. She's a mother without a baby." It makes me cry every time.

MrsRajeshKoothrappali · 12/01/2013 19:52

Have we forgotten Elle McPerson?

Rumour has it that Jennifer Anniston got her sacked!!

BrandonFlowersHoHoHo · 12/01/2013 20:03

MrsRajesh, all hail JA, Elle McPherson was terrible. The episode with the Monica/Ross dance routine was ruined by her

Ross was a horrible boyfriend and should have ended up alone.
Monica and Chandler were wrong as a couple, he should have married Janice.
Best episode is "the one with the routine"

As I always loathed Ross I was Team Rachel all the way.

lovelychops · 12/01/2013 20:11

Elle McPherson was dreadful! Utterly crap, and in it for TWO episodes!

Glad someone's mentioned Gunther - some of the supporting cast were excellent. I always enjoyed Ross and Monica's dad, Jack. Joey's agent was rally funny. And Janice was brilliant.

I think Rachel was in the right, and got more beautiful as the series went on. But, she always got rubbish boyfriends. I really wanted her to end up with Joey.

I loathe Ross, he was a drip in the beginning and just controlling with Rachel.
I think Monica stopped Chandler being funny.

Best episodes were when Joey had to teach the dance class, the one with Brad Pitt in, and when Joey gets locked in the home entertainment system by the thief.

WhatchuTalkinBoutPhyllis · 12/01/2013 20:22

Agreed elle mcphereson was dreadful. Whoever thought of putting her in it should have been sacked.

Remembered another favourite episode, when ross and joey get stuck on the roof after joey uses the pole as a telescope Grin

ZooAnimals · 12/01/2013 20:25

My faves are;

Chandler
Monica
Rachel
Ross
Phoebe
Joey

Loved the one with Brad Pitt in 'you were the hermaphrodite cheerleader from Long Island?!' is one of the best lines ever. Loved Ross' new sofa as well. Ross' leather pants and the Thanksgiving one with all the secrets.

SayMama · 12/01/2013 20:43

Janice was pure genious! And I loved young Chandler!

Ross: Chandler entered a Vanilla Ice look-alike contest and won
Chandler: Ross came fourth and cried!

SayMama · 12/01/2013 20:46

Also -
Monica: Fine! Judge all you want to but, married a lesbian, left a man at the altar, fell in love with a gay ice dancer, threw a girl's wooden leg in the fire, live in a box!

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 12/01/2013 20:51

My favourite bit was not on TV but is on the dvds (must have cut it to show on TV). Phoebe takes some painkillers for the first time and spends LOT of the episode going through the possible side effects and worrying about then.

lovelychops · 12/01/2013 20:54

When Phoebe pretends to come onto Chandler, and asks him to rub lotion on her!!!

BrandonFlowersHoHoHo · 12/01/2013 20:59

Oh that one when Joey gets locked in the entertainment unit has the funniest line from Chandler. We piss ourselves everytime we watch it.

Joey - oh if i ever see that guy again I'm gonna...

Chandler - what? Bend over?

Haha!

BreakOutTheKaraoke · 12/01/2013 21:10

I got the DVDs for Christmas, didn't realise there were other bits on there not on TV! So excited to watch them all, even more than I was! Season 1, episode 1 here we go...

SucksToBeMe · 12/01/2013 21:17

Ross not liking ice cream as its "JUST TOO COLD!!"
Ross and Monica's dance routine on New Year's Eve.
Unagi when Ross runs past central perk and pauses momentarily realizing that Rachel and Monica are sat inside,and that he assaulted the wrong women.

I also think Monica and Ross's parents were never not funny and had some deep and meaningful bits that made my eyes a bit leaky.

Rachel had amazing comic timing, "I gotta gas up the hyundi" Grin

I loved most of the guests stars too, changed my opinion of Bruce Willis.

Guffawed at Christina Applegate feeling like Erin Brockofich!

The women who had gone to England and said "my mOBile" all the time.

Brad Pitts 'hair flick'

Rachel NOT selling her baby to her boss.

Ross shouting "YES I'LL HOLD" to the condom helpline.

Ross's apartment filling up with water while a bird of prey flies off with Emma.

"Pick up the sock Judy, PICK UP THE SOCK!!!"

GrinGrinGrin

SucksToBeMe · 12/01/2013 21:23

Oops, I meant Rachel and Phoebe on the Unagi bit. Smile

BrianButterfield · 12/01/2013 21:25

My favourite bit ever is Judy at Thanksgiving - " Joey, if you wanna leave, just leave. Rachel, no, you weren't supposed to put peas in the trifle. It did not taste good. Phoebe, I'm sorry, but I think Jacques Cousteau is dead."

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 12/01/2013 21:33

I agree with SayMama about the best Friends quote ever!

lovelychops · 12/01/2013 21:36

One of the early ones where Joey pretends to have a Porsche - but it's a pile of cardboard boxes underneath a sheet in the shape of a car! Genius.

CheerfulYank · 12/01/2013 21:41

I love the "English" woman too..."oh I feel like a perfect arise!"

CheerfulYank · 12/01/2013 21:42

Arse! Perfect arse. Damn tablet!

WhatchuTalkinBoutPhyllis · 12/01/2013 21:48
