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?

@Fluffyears

Hoey? Do you mean Joey? But it was Chandler's biggest fear. Because his legs move as if independent from his body Shock

Shame on you.. misquoting Friends should be a prisonable offence or something. I mean why would you do that to us Fluffy WHY?

Heads for ducks because ducks have heads!
....what kind of scary ass clowns came to your birthday parties.

There are a small smattering of inconsistencies, but who CARES?! Grin

It's just light entertainment/comedy meant to make people laugh - and there are WAY too many funny lines to even quote. It's the best U.S. sitcom ever IMO. Smile

When Joey and Chandler were robbed......

'Ross: Hey! So, uh, what did the insurance company say?'

'Chandler: Oh, they said, "uh, you don't have insurance here, so stop calling us.' Grin

Sometimes men love women
Sometimes men love men,
And then there are bisexuals
Though some just say they're kidding themselves.

Joey taking a few minutes to grasp that phoebe and her twin Ursula have the same birthday....I miss friends being new.

It lied to me though, it promised me i’d grown up with cool friends, we’d date and go for coffee and wear amazing clothes...

I hate it so I would raise a grievance with hr if this kept happening in my office

A grievance about what exactly? Someone said something completely inoffensive but you didn't like it so decided to complain?

adaline · 04/05/2018 19:29

I went to that tanning place your wife recommended.
Was that place THE SUN?!

Isn’t it “kept and framed”?

You really shouldn’t quote if you aren’t going to do it correctly

I shouldn't comment as most things I have quoted to my DC have either come from Red Dwarf or The Young Ones (yeah, I AM that old........)

Zookeeper: Your monkeys alive!
Ross: But the Zoo told me....
Zookeep: Ha! The Zoo! You believe everything the ZOO tells you?!
Ross: That’s... the only only thing the zoo’s ever told me.

DH and I practically communicate in Frasier quotes. Coz we are smarterer.

“Food? In the bathroom?” is a particular favourite.

But we also shout “PIVOT!” whenever we move furniture. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t
