I always like the idea that Phoebe and Joey never ended up together because it really ties back to the thesis of the show: they are friends and just friends. If everyone had been ended up together within the group then it really undermines the show as it shows male and female cannot have a purely platonic friendship.

I’m not sure if I’d say incestuous but borderline predatory.

Frankly, incestuous doesn't really capture any of the relationships here accept Monica and Ross kissing. But they literally thought they were kissing other people, so I really don't make much of that. I don't find Richard and Monica's relationship problematic. They got together as fully grown adults with developed brains after not having even seen each other for years. I don't know if it matters that he's her dad's friend because it's not as if their relationship started when she was a teen, and he groomed her. I really think people are making something out of nothing here. Monica was in her mid to late twenties during that relationship. To call it predatory is to assume the worst of Richard and is infantilising to a grown woman, wellllll over the age of consent. Unless we're saying Monica was manipulated into the relationship, it wasn't predatory.

I’ve always thought that “taking a break” is a break up but you both understand that it’s only temporary. So you’re not totally together anymore but there’s no way Ross can sleep with that random girl and be surprised that Rachel is upset. He spent the whole day trying to cover his tracks because he knew what he did was wrong. It doesn’t matter if they were on a break or not, he felt like he had betrayed her and intended to lie about it forever because he knew she would feel the same. Being on a break doesn’t justify hooking up with someone else 6 hours after the fight. At the very least, you can understand why Rachel didn’t want to date him after that
@williamsyeboah4268
@williamsyeboah4268 5 ай бұрын
I don't think he's surprised she's upset. He actually understood. That's why he was apologising. But where I think both Rachel's and the masses don't get is that he's rather trying to defend his integrity. Sure he hurt her, but Rachel did say the next morning to Ross 'can I be your girlfriend again', making it clear enough they weren't TOGETHER at the time, hence it wasn't technically cheating. He just refused to be labeled 'once a cheater, always a cheater'.

The problem with Ross' jealousy over Mark is they never address that he lost his spouse due to an affair. Never once during that storyline do they even imply thats a realistic insecurity for Ross to have. Losing someone he loves to someone else. It doesnt help that he hears Mark on the phone at Rachel's apartment. In his mind that's enough to say its over. Im not team Ross. But the show did him dirty in that regard. Rather than talking about his first divorce in a real way its always the but of the joke. That sucks from a more dramatic standpoint. Which breaking up the characters was clearly what they wanted.

i think a big issue for ross is communication. even tho it wasn’t included in this storyline i always remembered how carol and her affair affected him but it is on ross as an adult to be able to work through his problems and properly communicate. in relationships no one ever shows up perfect but at the very least you need to be open and communicative. i feel bad that ross went through that and it clearly created a deep insecurity and fear in him but he’s a big boy and it’s his job to heal, become a better communicator, or just take a break from romance if he can’t handle that at the moment. i don’t think it’s fair to put carols mistakes on rachel who was nothing but loyal and loving to ross. when he refused to take accountability for his own insecurities and made it a issue with rachel he became a highly toxic partner. we don’t want our partners to project their fears from their last partners actions on us instead of healthily communicate about how they’re still being affected by it. that’s not fair. to rachel or to ross.

@FunnyMannager because God forbid you write female characters who are despicable and have nothing redeeming about them. A male character can be awful just because he is awful. I have never seen a woman in fiction who is just purely antagonistic for the sake of it. We gotta know their backstory, why are they the way that they are. Who hurt them? Yet a lot of times in stories a bad guy is bad, just because that's what the story needs. Now obviously I'm sure there are female characters out there who just suck. I haven't seen every movie or TV show ever or read every book. But the vast frequency of awful male characters to female is a huge difference. But when a female character people don't like is done well, it's done really well. Skylar White in Breaking Bad, Anna Gunn did such a good job as the overly annoying nagging wife in the beginning that not up until the end did people truly feel sorry for everything Walter did to ruin their family. We wanted to root for Walter because it was his POV. Yet if we switch that the show is a hell of a lot more uncomfortable. People still give her shit a decade later. Phenomenal "bad" female character. Skylar is no Saint, but she certainly isn't as evil as Walter, or Jesse, or Gus. Yet she is nobody's favorite. On the other hand in Better Call Saul, Kim Wexler is far more despicable as a person towards the end. Yet she is beloved as a character by the audience. Granted this is a sitcom. And if I recall correctly Two of its creators and primary writers are part of the lbgt community. Carol and Susan should be unlikable bitches. But they aren't written that way. When in reality I don't think anyone would be on their side.

I agree with most of the video EXCEPT the statement that they’re all straight. Even though it wasn’t explored, Phoebe and Chandler are clearly queer. We can see it in different interactions. One that comes to my mind right now is when Ross and Monica’s cousin comes to visit and we see Phoebe looking at her charmed to then hear her internal monologue: “Ask her out! She’s not your cousin!”

it wasnt just ross. monica was a little too keen to know the finer details of his relationship with rachel. i kinda get it though. they shared the same friends with whom they shared their sexual exploits with so they probably got used to oversharing around each other. but i do think they got a little up close and personal in ways that would be deemed too close for siblings to be hanging off each other. that danny guy and his sister definitely had a way more inappropriate relationship though.

I have always felt that in another time Chandler and Joey could have been a couple. I think the show hinted at that several times but, given that American TV viewers were thought to be even more homophobic & conservative during the show's run than they are today, to be safe the show would always pull back, say they were only (very straight) close friends, and run off their affection as a joke.

Logically you can be team Ross but the problem was how Ross went about things ultimately. “Going on a break” and the rules vary depending on the person. Some people could interpret going on a break as a temporary break up (Ross) and others see it like taking a break from each other (Rachel) Rachel never specified exactly what she wanted from that break (iirc) and Ross never asked either. Ross was wrong because right after he hooked up with someone else which can make anyone feel a type of way if right after a break up you’re with another person. But I don’t think it’s wrong of him to assume they were breaking up even if that means temporary. And even if said break up it’s temporary, I don’t necessarily think it’s bad to talk to other people either. The biggest issue was the lack of communication. And of course this was the 90s so most people still had very black and white views of relationships and communicating boundaries and let’s be honest again, Ross and Rachel weren’t the most healthy people when it came to relationships 😂. Especially Ross.

My stance has always been that yes, they were on a break but Ross is in the wrong here. Ross was openly being jealous, unsupportive, and possessive, Rachel opened the floor for honest communication by suggesting the break (which she obviously intended to just be some space to breathe and think) and Ross shut down that communication by just storming out (which IMO made it a break up because he wasn't willing to talk it out). He then IMMEDIATELY sleeps with someone else and then gets back together Rachel while the other girl is still in his apartment literally right next to him. The icing on the cake is him going through such extreme lengths to hide it from her, asking MULTIPLE people to lie for him, and then insisting that Rachel immediately forgive him. Like, I would feel cheated on too if I was Rachel. She was trying to find a solution to the relationship struggle and at the first uncomfy suggestion Ross walked out and slept with someone else. I wouldn't have ever taken him back after that and I always hated that in the end she gave up everything for him.

I feel like people forget a crucial moment: Ross calls Rachel before going out and hears that Mark is over. That is why he did what he did. And I feel like it justifies him because the one person he was threatened by was the one person she turned to after iniating a break. Additionally, given their history and how Rachel was careless with his feelings in the past, I don’t find it wrong to assume what Ross assumed. And therefore I was always team Ross.

ross literally ran out of the apartment after she asked for a break there was no change to communicate about it. secondly yes technically if you are temporarily broken up you can go and fuck someone but it is highly counterproductive to fixing the relationship you’re on a break from. considering ross was the one who caused the break because he couldn’t trust rachel at her job and would follow and pester her at work (toxic if not borderline abusive behavior) it’s especially egregious to that he would go off and have sex with someone just a few hours later. i don’t know what it is with ross and his devils advocates but he CLEARLY was in the wrong. he destroyed their relationship with unfounded jealousy and control issues and then immediately did what he accused rachel of doing the second he got the slightest inclination of not having to be loyal to rachel anymore due to her asking for a break

Incest requires a family relation, I'd specifically argue that it either needs to be a blood relation, or people growing up in a single household as a family. A group of friends, no matter how close, will usually include some couples. The main issue within an incest relationship are power dynamics or genetic issues for the children anyway, and neither would be a thing for most of the cast.

I actually think Rachel and Joey could’ve been great together if they didn’t screw up Joey’s character so badly. He was stepping up and maturing when he fell in love with Rachel while she was pregnant. Being in love with Rachel brought out a mature and serious side of Joey. Also, they liked each other and shared similar hobbies. Rachel would willingly go on a set to watch Joey’s soap episode but I don’t see her enjoying spending hours in a museum (even though she did go for Ross). They both enjoyed playing drums together and the date they went on. There was real potential there for them.

Honestly, Rachel and Chandler are probably my favourite friendship duo, they're both naturally funny (not just the actors themselves, but the way their characters were specifially written) and they have this cute wholesome bond (despite that time where they might have hooked up, but never actually did except in her head) where they wingman/wingwoman each other, comfort each other after breakups, relate to one another's parents getting divorced, are both generally the more passive counterpart in their relationships/other friendship duos (ie Ross and Monica are a lot more controlling than they are) so are very chill together, and at one point they are both working jobs they hate/don't have any passion for just to get by/have stability until they later change jobs to work in what they actually enjoy. I just love how much they actually relate to each other despite not being paired up that often in episodes. When they do, it's always funny and/or wholesome, like when Chandler got himself locked in Rachel's boss's office or when they were singing together on the armchair Lmao not me typing a whole essay... 💀TL;DR: they have a cute platonic bond, very funny (a la cheesecake) and wholesome, refreshing to see them together every time. Also Phoebe and Chandler is also a funny chaotic duo Edit: also I think Rachel and Chandler might have known each other before college?

Just a couple of corrections, although I love the concept of the video and really appreciate it existing. Rachel hasn’t known Phoebe the least of the group as she’s equally known Joey for as long as she’s known Phoebe, she met them both on the same day in the pilot. Rachel also wasn’t Phoebe’s maid of honour, Monica was. In s7 there’s an episode where they all agree to be each other’s maid of honour so that way each of the three girls gets to do it at least once. Briefly in this episode Phoebe is going to be Monica’s which means Rachel would be Phoebe’s. However by the end of the episode Phoebe lets Rachel be Monica’s which rearranges who gets to be whose. If Rachel and Ross got married again after the events of the series finale, then Phoebe would have Rachel’s maid of honour, per the girls’ agreement. Also the pact in S1 that chandler suggest making with Monica is to get together and have a baby if they’re both still single at 40, not 30. Monica doesn’t agree to this pact at all, if anything she’s insulted by the even hypothetical insinuation she would still be single at 40 and questions him as to why he would even hypothetically assume she would be.

In reality Rachel's feelings for Joey are just a crush while she loves Ross even after their breakup. Rachel actually tells Ross she still loves him when he's dating Bonnie and when he's married to Emily. Rachel really wants to be with Ross and knows he loves her too at the time she starts dating Joey but due to a breakdown in communication, she's not aware of just how much Ross loves her. Joey does love Rachel but is hesitant about starting a relationship with Rachel because he believes Ross and Rachel are supposed to be together. They do continue their relationship with Ross's reluctant approval but it's clear that Rachel is not totally comfortable with continuing, especially after seeing how badly Ross reacted to them being together. The fact that Rachel and Joey are unable to consummate their relationship makes them realise they're just too good friends to continue having been just friends for many years. Ross and Rachel are the best example of love always wins all the barriers in the way, Chandler and Monica are the example of how bestfriends can turn into incredible lovers , Phoebe and Mike proves that love can be found in very unexpected way and Joey is the example of a great friend

A problem with television in general is that it is near impossible to have someone date or cheat or whatever with someone outside the regular show. Bringing someone new makes the audience have to become invested in a potential throwaway character (This is less problematic in Friends (1994-2004) which did this often but again as throwaway characters.) thus any invested relationship tends to involve pre-established characters or a new character that will stick around for a while. I felt this with Rookie Blue (2010-2015).

Not in Ross's defense but a lot of people seem to forget why Ross is the way he is. It's painted pretty clear in the first few episodes. Carol cheats on him and leaves him. She comes back, pregnant, and Carol and Susan then tries to push him aside from the get go, even though he wants to be there for his kid, are behaving extremely cruel towards him by pushing his buttons and his insecurities without adressing them and showing him some sort of empathy. He was traumatized and terrified of it happening again. Despite being treated so horribly, he still came through for them when Carol's parents didn't turn up for their wedding. Also, I absolutely love the pairing of Chandler and Monica. It was just such a perfect match.

The Rachel and Joey hate will never cease to fascinate me. People will try to make countless debunkable arguments and make the most ridiculous mental gymnastics, but there is only ONE reason why people hate it. Because they ship Rachel with Ross. That's it. If people truly hated on it in favor of a more healthy relationship that made more sense, that should be Joey and Phoebe, not Rachel and Ross, the most toxic relationship in the show by far. Joey and Rachel haters do not care about Joey and Phoebe, only Rachel and Ross. It's honestly pretty headscratching. I sometimes wonder if things would have been any different if Ross and Rachel had never had Emma, but I truly think fans would have acted the same exact way even under those circumstances. People never let Ross and Rachel go, even when it was shown time after time that they were horrible with each other, and pretty much forced the writers to stick them together in the ending. Why are people so obsessed with this ship? Because of "true love"? That would be Monica and Chandler. And even that relationship doesn't have a passionate devotion as strong as Rachel and Ross. So what's the deal? I simply can't tell.

5:32 also, the whole "break" thing was provoked by ross, if he hadn't been so insecure about their relationship and disrespectful of her job, he wouldn't have made her feel extremely fed up to ask for a break. it was his fault.

He was insecure because his ex-wife cheated on him. Therefore you can't really blame him for being worried and having trust issues, especially when his girlfriend starts hanging out a lot with a new guy, similarly to how Carol started regularly hanging out with Susan.

I was with Ross that he didn't cheat. He was arguing with her about Mark who liked her, but was wrong because Rachel had no interests in Mark. She said that maybe they should just take a break so Ross agreed and said that they should just get something to eat and talk about it in the morning but she said a break from us which Ross asked if she was breaking up with him, which she agreed hence her asking him to be her boyfriend the next morning. He went to the bar distraught and called her to try and fix it, however he heard Mark, the guy they just had the argument about, pick up the phone that's in her apartment and he got drunk when the lady at the bar started flirting with him. He did make a shitty mistake but he didn't cheat

A lot of people I know are team Ross. This mostly comes down to those people believing there is no difference between a "break" and a "break up". Rachel says, "maybe we should take a break". Ross initially interprets that to mean a break from the fight (which is what they should have done). Rachel says "a break from us". Ross interprets that as a breakup (as do many other people, including Rachel which I'll prove down in a sec). We know this is what he believes because in the episode, he tells Joey and Chandler they broke up. He calls her later to talk and then hangs up when the guy they were fighting about was in Rachel's apartment, alone with her. So to summarize, Rachel said she wanted a break from their relationship and then immediately invited the guy Ross had concerns about over to her apartment alone. Neither of them are completely innocent in this scenario. It's easy to see why Ross thought their relationship was dead at that point. Also, on her voicemail she leaves him she states, "I don't want to get back together over a voicemail". Sounds like she thought they had temporarily broken up too. She even says, "can i be your girlfriend again?"

I think the thing they should have leaned harder into for "Joey" was the fact that he had shown himself to be so willing to take on a child that wasn't his. He got played up as a Himbo for years and years, and then late in the series, he's ready to be a father for everyone's kid who isn't his own, proposing to multiple friends just to be a man in a child's life. This and the longing for a relationship like what Chandler and Monica had, make it clear as to what Joey wanted, and as he was the *ONLY* friend without any ties at the end of the series, they sent him to CA for his own series, and really ran him even further into the ground, as if the emotional rides he had been on at the end of Friends, hadn't existed. He sort of became a father figure to his adult nephew, but it was very rooted in the Himbo actor image, not actually being a dad. Joey could have been good, and was a wasted opportunity.

i think going as far to say the friends characters have incestuous relationships is a huge reach, tbh. seeing as ross and monica never wanted to kiss each other and were grossed out finding out they accidentally did, that's.... not incest at all? a lot of siblings kiss each other in different cultures (although i personally would find that weird with my brother) so i think the title is kind of click-baity. i will say though that i would never want to have conversations about my sexual experiences while talking to my brother, while ross and monica seem perfectly fine talking about their sex lives in detail around each other. i do think every sibling relationship is different and that just because something two siblings are comfortable with makes me uncomfortable doesn't mean it's incest. i just think the internet has an incest obsession where people go as far as accusing normal siblings who simply like... hug each other of being incestuous

Incest and Incestous are not the same words. Incest is about blood relations or those legally related engaging in sexual acts. Incestous is about close groups such as friends, co-workers, squadmates, etc engaging in sexual acts or relationships with one another.

Something that always felt messed up to me (in favor of not using a non-YT-friendly word) is that Ross went to sulk but he calls Rachel and hears the guy that he thought was trying to get with Rachel (which, he was but Rachel didn't know that), so of course he feels like it's absolutely over. Copy girl was rejected not once but twice and she still kept pushing him (even a third time before Ross agrees) and. There's a timeskip so we don't know how much exactly Ross drank but he has poor balance and drags words a bit, he doesn't look comfortable. He was vulnerable, drunk, and the Copy girl still slept with him, doesn't that sound like borderline abuse? Y'all can argue if he cheated or not (I say yes but that there's more to it), and I can still feel bad for Rachel but the copy girl plotline felt icky and cruel on her behalf.

Does this guy not know what incestuous means? An incestuous relationship is a sexual/romantic relationship between two people who are related by blood and yet literally his first two examples are Ross/Rachel and Rachel/Phoebe. In neither of these pairings are the two people involved related.

I thought no one was on track Rachel because they were on a break. Even tho he stormed out and it didn’t feel confirmed, when Rachael came over to make up she said “so I can be your girlfriend again?” Meaning she stopped being his girlfriend. Not saying what he did was cool but she wasn’t his girlfriend at the time
