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?

I just remembered Monica on dating Richard's son:

Fine! Judge all you want, 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 a fire, LIVE IN A BOX!

Ross: What did the insurance company say?
Chandler: Oh, they said, "uh, you don't have insurance here, so stop calling us."

CadyHeron · 06/05/2018 16:54

Monica - "you were my Midnight Mystery Kisser?!"

Ross - "You were my first kiss with Rachel?!"

Monica - "You were my first kiss EVER?!"

Chandler - "What have I married INTO?!

Grin
LaurieMarlow · 06/05/2018 16:59

Rachel: Guess what, guess what?

Chandler: Ok... the fifth dentist caved
and now they're all recommending Trident?

AHedgehogCanNeverBeBuggered · 06/05/2018 18:52

Joey: Man this is weird. You ever realize Captain Crunch's eyebrows are actually on his hat?

Chandler: You think that's what's weird? Joey, the man's been captain of a cereal for the last 40 years.

Also the bit at the end of the episode where Monica goes to catch Ross and jumps out of the way.

Monica - "I can't do it!"

Ross - "whahh THUD!"

Chandler - "Now you do that,and you're on TV!" lol

Just falling down a youtube rabbit hole and watching Friends clips.
Found the wedding couple doing the Routine Grin

Handthatrocksthecradlerulesthe · 06/05/2018 21:23

aw man, I feel the need to go try and find it on youtube,I love these people already

I just typed in Friends The Routine and it’s the 4th video that comes up.

It as uploaded in 2008. That couple (hopefully still together) have now been married 10 years.

Wasn't that the 'hit by a blimp' death thing? Grin

CadyHeron · 07/05/2018 00:02

Yep,the Goodyear Blimp I think? The One Where the Underdog Gets Away
I've clearly watched far too much Friends if that's so lol Grin

shinycat · 07/05/2018 00:05

This married couple do 'the routine...'

They start about 30 seconds in.......

It IS from 2016 though, so it may not be the same one that @handrocks was on about. Smile

I shouldn't comment as most things I have quoted to my DC have come from Red Dwarf
