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?

Anytime one of us is cold, "I'm old, I'm cold" Grin

@Dancergirl

yes it really is 'dated'. My 15 year old dd has recently worked her way through all 10 series and is shocked by the blatant sexism, homophobia and so on.

😂😂😂😂😂

Oh dear GOD! Your daughter is only 15, and she's already a tutting, finger-wagging, leftie snowflake. What the actual FUCK?! 😂😂

God help us all if the next generation after the millennials is calling FRIENDS sexist, racist, and homophobic.

Jesus fucking wept! 😂😂😂😂😂

The thing is OP, there is a friends situation for everything in life. I was in a cafe in Mexico a few years ago with my American friend and I wanted to ask for the bill, so I called out to the waiter and said, excuse me, the bill, the check, la Cuenta? And my friend said immediately, paper, snow, a ghost. We laughed hard and still remind each other to this day.

For every situation in life , you can refer back to friends

Dancergirl · 05/05/2018 11:48

shiny eh??

I'm not sure if you're joking. My dd isn't a snowflake but she does have strong views on things. Nothing wrong with that.

ReginaPhalangy · 05/05/2018 12:43

Hahahahaha soooo funny.

11 year old son has recently discovered Friends, he's watched it 3 times through on Netflix and watches repeats on television too, there's been a lot of Friends on in our house recently - he now quotes the lines before they are said on the program. True convert.

Sorry, last 3 posts were all me having some fun.

Monica ... Fallulah ... Geller

CadyHeron · 05/05/2018 13:02

shiny - makes you realise why all the comedies on telly now are utter shite, doesn't it? People take far too much offence at everything! Grin

CadyHeron · 05/05/2018 13:04

Chandler -

"Brrrmmmm, brrmmmmm"

Watch it, lady!

Hey,heyyy, good looking!

Rachel........ Hmm

Chandler " My bed's so boring..."

OP, those little spelling tips you're giving @SleightOfMind will come in handy when you're at home on Saturday nights playing Scrabble with Monica!

I'm still trying to think of in which ways Friends is blatantly sexist or homophobic...

Butterymuffin · 05/05/2018 14:34

I have no idea what's going on, but I am excited!

CadyHeron · 05/05/2018 14:40

I'm still trying to think of in which ways Friends is blatantly sexist or homophobic...

Probably offended at all the references to porn and the blatant love for Yasmin Bleeth, always with the running..... Grin
Or the one with the male nanny - "You've got to be at least bi!| or Viva Las Gaygas or the laughing at Susan and Carol for being lesbenems.

Meh, I still love it,it's not like it's BRAND NEW INFORMATION lol

PermanentlyHungry · 05/05/2018 14:50

I don't think UABU if they do it all the time. I can understand it could get annoying. Saying that me & my DH quote Friends & Peter Kay alot 😂

GARLIC BREAD

CadyHeron · 05/05/2018 14:56

GARLIC BREAD?! It's the future.

Tink2007 · 05/05/2018 15:01

Rachel to Chandler after he said her boobies are nice:

“Nice? Mittens are nice.” 😂

And when Ross and Rachel break up (again)

“And just so you know - it’s not that common, it doesn’t happen to every guy and it is a big deal!”

Lalliella · 05/05/2018 15:10

They don’t know we know they know we know

Looks like I’m going to Yemen!

Your daughter is only 15, and she's already a tutting, finger-wagging, leftie snowflake. What the actual FUCK?!

Sounds about the right age for it, what's the problem?

PoorYorick · 05/05/2018 15:20

Friends has dated though. In different ways from Blackadder.

Blackadder has become a fine, vintage wine that just keeps on getting better and better every single year.

Friends has become rancid vinegar.

CadyHeron · 05/05/2018 15:28

Friends has become rancid vinegar.

I think, that I speak for all of us, when I say......
