I’m rewatching it. It’s so much funnier especially the later series.

So much funnier. Love some of the scenes with Karen and her maid.

DioneTheDiabolist · 13/04/2021 16:48

Will & Grace have Karen and Jack so of course its funnier.

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 13/04/2021 16:49

I didn’t find either funny tbh.

Grace is ‘funny’ because she’s a desperate single woman
Will is ‘funny’ because he’s an uptight gay man
Karen is ‘funny’ because she’s an alcoholic, wealthy and a cruel stepmother
The other guy is ‘funny’ because he’s extremely camp

Extremely unfunny stereotypes, all of them.

I really enjoyed it until every episode featured a big name guest star and it lost some of its appeal. The reboot is very funny though.

HeyDemonsItsYaGirl · 13/04/2021 17:08

Anal fissures are funnier than Will and Grace

Happycat1212 · 13/04/2021 17:15

No way

lioncitygirl · 13/04/2021 17:16

No chance. Friends is way funnier. Will and Grace was just so try hard.

LongIslandIcedT · 13/04/2021 17:19

New Girl is funnier than Friends.

Xyzzzzz · 13/04/2021 17:22

Always found friends funny. W&G was good but I couldn’t stand Grace or Jack. Loved Will and Karen.

bonfireheart · 13/04/2021 17:27

@LongIslandIcedT New Girl is so under rated.

RolloTomassi · 13/04/2021 17:39

V unreasonable! The only challenger to Friends in the funny stakes is Frasier!

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 13/04/2021 17:40

My fav American sitcom, vastly underrated- I wish Netflix would put it on!

HOkieCOkie · 13/04/2021 17:40

Never got into it personally, I was more of a frasier, mad about you girl. Oh and Dharma and Greg

LaganinaBubble · 13/04/2021 17:42

I like Will & Grace, however I can't stand Karen and Jack characters.

CoraPirbright · 13/04/2021 17:43

Love love love Will & Grace!!

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 13/04/2021 17:45

I don’t get how Fraser was funny- seeing a neurotic couple of brothers have the odd breakdown, never real storylines as far as I could see

HOkieCOkie · 13/04/2021 17:47

@OnlyFoolsnMothers well everyone have different things they find funny I guess. 😀

PinkiOcelot · 13/04/2021 17:48

I don’t find either funny. Hey are both cringe worthy unfunny.

ThrowingAShellstrop · 13/04/2021 17:49

100% YANBU. I said it in the 90s and I stand by it.

EachandEveryone · 13/04/2021 17:50

The new ones are awful though. The dated jokes make me cringe. Karen is still fab.

This is so true tbh.
Sulusu · 13/04/2021 17:52

Will and Grace is just an Americanised and less funny version of Gimme Gimme Gimme.

ParadiseLaundry · 13/04/2021 18:35

Yadnbu, much funnier and more interesting characters. And Eric McCormack is totally dreamy.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 13/04/2021 18:36

To be fair haven’t wTched the new ones since the trump one off

EachandEveryone · 13/04/2021 22:10

Ross from Friends is Graces steady bf in the new series. Theyve all had plastic surgery!
