Sick of my colleagues quoting Friends?

The tv show. I loved the show as much as the next person.

But honestly they quote something from it every day. It’s just not funny hearing it repeated and it’s so old!

Aibu?

@Dandelion123

Monica, Monica, have a happy Hanukkah...
And please tell Joey...I think it will be snoweeeee...
Rachel and Chandler..Howdahandla?!

I have literally just watched this EXACT episode. Grin

The girl from poughkeepskie!

@Powerglide you are sounding more like a miserable, maudlin, sense-of-humourless, mood hoover with every fucking post. And now you're going on an obsessive rant, accusing people of being nasty racists.

Lighten the fuck up will ya?!

Thanks for starting this AMAZING thread though!

Didn't quite turn out like you wanted it to though eh? Wink

I guess you wanted a bunch of TV snobs like you to come on here and proclaim how thick and talentless and intellectually challenged and lower-class people who love FRIENDS are.

Then 9 out of 10 people came on here saying how much they love it, and quoting some of the fantastic and hilariously funny line and quotes from it.

Oh dear. EPIC FAIL OP! Grin

gluteustothemaximus · 04/05/2018 23:58

Please don’t argue. Look what you’re doing to Chandler

I love this thread Grin

Must start watching friends again. There are TOO MANY funny lines.

ShowOfHands I work in a University library.
"Is anyone shelving the trolleys because I don't think anyone is shelving the trolleys"

Lot of Frasier and Friends quoted at home too. My personal favorite..."Remember what mother always said. A handshake is as good as a hug!"

Sophisticatedsarcasm · 05/05/2018 00:00

‘Joey doesn’t share food’ 😂😂

Erm ... did you miss the part where I said I liked the show? You know in my first post.

So I wanted people to come on here to call me talentless, lower class etc? Confused don’t think I did.

Also the thread turned out the way it was suppose to ... as in people voiced their opinions. Kind of how a public forum works.

@sleightofmind I hear you're a racist now?
Shall we all be racist?

CadyHeron · 05/05/2018 00:04

I work in a University library.

I now have a mental image of you patrolling the library for the make out corner aka the dusty corner with old mouldy books nobody ever reads
"Don't you be following me!" lol

CadyHeron · 05/05/2018 00:06

Oh, and I will always love

'It upsets my birds.'
'You don't HAVE birds.'
'I could have birds!'

Totally just read that in ,Mr Heckles voice Grin

I don’t think “nigger” is a word to be joked about. There’s a massive difference between “nigger” and “nigga” ... if you use that word then you are racist in my opinion. But feel free to go shout that word walking down a public street if it’s not offensive.

Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

I’d really love for this thread to go on for 18 pages Grin

WomanEqualsAdultHumanFemale · 05/05/2018 00:18

Front AND back!

It is a love based of giving and receiving as well as having and sharing. And the love that they give and have is shared and received. And through this having and giving and sharing and receiving, we too can share and love and have... and receive.

HappenedForAReisling · 05/05/2018 00:22

also ‘to me, to you’ Chuckle Brothers style.

I do this too but as my husband isn't English it doesn't get the reaction I expect.

Ghanagirl · 05/05/2018 00:25

Okay now I've seen everything!!

Dandeliontea123 · 05/05/2018 00:36

@shinycat such a funny episode! And I think that song has become an earworm for me.

OpenthePickles · 05/05/2018 01:03

Smelly cat smeleeeeeee cat

I'm curvy and I like it

That's right, I stepped up...if I had to, I'd pee on anyone of you

But they don't know that we know they know we know

Grin

Ha, I was thinking the exact same earlier!
I need it to go to 18 pages so that I can be the first to say "You lot have rambled on for 18 pages.FRONT AND BACK!!" Grin

Clarissa111 · 05/05/2018 01:37

I love this thread! And think the op does too. Sorry op I’m not good at the advice. But can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

God, I played the "pivot" clip for one of my 12yos this week. He giggled almost as much as I did. I don't know what to tell you. Friends is a cultural icon, for better or worse. I'm afraid YABU.

Autumnchill · 05/05/2018 04:42

We always sing Smelly Cat when we're taking the cats to the vets!
