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

Joey's agent: "Your just going to say no again, but, gay porn?"

cricketballs · 12/01/2013 22:46

for me the funniest thing is when Joey 'proved' he could drink a gallon of milk..pure genius Grin

AmIthatTinselly · 12/01/2013 22:54

Chandler was and is my ideal man. Funny, caring and lovely

Phoebe turned into an absolute horror, dropping her friends in it, not nice, Mike was too good for her .

ExP and I were together when it first aired and I remember him feeling sorry for Ross, with the hamper and the barbershop quartet. He thought it showed he cared?????? Wonder what he would have done if I had done similar when he was in the middle of a child protection case conference Hmm

MrsAceRimmer · 13/01/2013 00:14

Haha, just realised I posted on this thread before (Angelbabe1982). I eas pregnant then & had a daughter that we named Emily!
So now we have 2 DC, both with minor Friends character names. Can I poll for potential future DCs names on the same line?

CheerfulYank · 13/01/2013 03:58

I think that's a great idea, Ace :o

One of my favorite quotes is when Ross and Rachel are arguing and Ross says "it doesn't really matter who came onto who."

Joey says "it's whom" and they all stare at him in astonishment. And he's all, "that's right!"

Cracks me up every time. :)

DevlinMaccabee · 13/01/2013 07:59

All these are great!

My absolute favourite is the one where Rachel and Monica are arguing over who isn't going to have Phoebe's painting of 'Gladys'!

"She's yours, no she's yours!"

"She's mine? no she's mine!"

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 13/01/2013 08:04

its on all day again today on comedy central - hope they show tgem in order.

Cherylkerl · 13/01/2013 09:04

Phoebe spelling out her name to the woman that interviews Joey, the 'e as in 'Ello mate' tickles me

Jennifer Aniston visibly cracking up when phoebe's brother screams 'my sisters gonna have my baby'

Pivot (and how in our house that's what you shout when moving stuff)

The Brad Pitt ep

Christina Applegate especially when she thinks Ross sells falafels 'he's rude'

Any of the quick fire exchanges....Judy's thanksgiving one, Monica not being able to tell the time, Joey in a porno etc

Bruce Willis

Phoebe - 'no good can come from having sex with Ross'

Answers to the quiz on now!

theodorakisses · 13/01/2013 09:13

Janice was my favourite. Also loved the episode with the lawyer when Ross and Rachel went to get an annulment. Stop typing, click click, stop typing, click click.

ohfunnyhoneyface · 13/01/2013 09:40

My favourite episode has to be after the disaster honeymoon- oh mrs gellar, why you cry?

We also use friends quotes far too much in daily conversation: got the keeeeys? Intonation being the most frequent one!!

My ex husband wouldn't let me watch friends- my fiancé lets me watch it all the time and loves it as much as me!

WhatchuTalkinBoutPhyllis · 13/01/2013 09:56

We cant find chandler...s'vest. We can't find chandlers vest Grin

Joey- "It's all just a moo point"

Rachel "a moo point"

joey "yeah it's like a cow's opinion, doesn't matter. It's moo."

YoSaffBridge · 13/01/2013 10:24

I always use "moo point" Grin

Ross's speech about the eagle when Emma is locked in the apartment is genius. ("The baby, seeing this, jumps across the apartment to the mighty bird's aid. The eagle, however, misconstrues it as an act of aggression and grabs the baby in its talons...")

My all time favourite, though, has to be the episode where Pheobe is hitting on Chandler: "I'm really excited about all the sex we're going to have."

YoSaffBridge · 13/01/2013 10:30

Oh, and I LOVE Mike! Especially the episode in Barbados where he's playing table tennis against Monica.

WhatchuTalkinBoutPhyllis · 13/01/2013 10:30

"Meanwhile the faucet fills the apartment with water. Baby and bird, still ablaze locked in a death grip. Swirling around the whirlpool that fills the apartment"

Grin

It's amazing what shite my memory stores.

Dubjackeen · 13/01/2013 10:47

Love this thread. One of my especial favourites is Mike and Phoebe's wedding, the part where the parents arrive, and the mother is practically floating along the street. The dad confides he crushed a tablet and put it in her drink.
I have to watch the PIVOT episode now! It always makes me laugh. I had so many favourites-I always liked when Janice appeared... OH MY GAWD. I loved Richard. I also love the episode with Alec Baldwin, 'you are like Santa Claus on Prozac...getting laid'.
Another one that cracks me up-Gunther-'this is a family place, put the mouse back in the house' Grin

JaponicaTroggs · 13/01/2013 11:02

If DH annoys me I always say "I think you should drink the fat"!
I love "More turkey Mr Chandler?" Grin

Morgan · 13/01/2013 11:27

Pivot - classic
Turkey on head - classic
Pheobe seducing Chandler - classic

I thought Helen Baxendale got pg and had to be written out hence the odd storyline and writing her out .

Will have to get the boxset out in think.

CrackerJackShack · 13/01/2013 12:02

OhMyGod this is the funniest thread ever! I cannot believe I read all 12 pages!

I'm sorry but I loved the shark porn episode. Anything to do with Ugly Naked Guy and Gunther was great too.

I think that technically they were on a break, but Ross acted like a douche and Rachel had every right to be pissed and Ross should have at least apologized. But Rachel dragged it on too long as well.

Chandler is my favourite character and I like him and Monica. I loved Phoebe and Mike to.

Ross was the character you loved to hate. Kind of annoying, but funny!

I love the one where Joey accidently punches Ross then does inverted commas "oops".

I howl just thinking about it!

LadyBeagleEyes · 13/01/2013 13:02

I'm watching them at the moment on Comedy Central, I still love it.
Jennifer Anniston is a fab comedy actress, I'd forgotten how good she was.

loopylou6 · 13/01/2013 13:23

I walked in ds room yesterday coz I could hear him giggling, he was watching the bit where they're in Las Vegas and Ross and Rachel where pissed up in the hotel room, Joey walks in, Ross goes to sit down, misses the chair, falls on his arse, looks up at Joey and says ' woah, you ok man?' As if Joey was the one who hurt himself Grin

PickledInAPearTree · 13/01/2013 13:29

They were on a break.

Emily was much maligned in my opinion.

Rachel went to the wedding to get him back didn't she ? Tsk tsk.

PickledInAPearTree · 13/01/2013 13:31

Yes I think Helen b got pregnant and they had to rush her out a bit.

Hence the oddness.
