“I wouldn’t want to be there when the laughter stops” hits a lot harder these days. RIP.

Bloody hell I didn’t even think about this quote. There’s a lot that came to mind when he passed, this was not one of them

[@woeshaling6421]

Joey’s italian, him being a momma’s boy is a given

[@ciro73]

Is not that they hate Janice, is just that they find her incredibly annoying. And fate seems to be like "Hey your life isn't enough of a chaos yet, here have a Janice lmao".

[@stanleymcquade6412]

exactly

[@joshuagalaviz1811]

Rest in peace Matthew Perry. It was an honor you were part of the TV series called Friends.

[@CTag81]

Janice may seem nice but she is super clingy and doesn't respect boundaries. She is constantly physical with people even though they are clearly pulling away.

[@samuelterry6354]

In season one I feel the writers really understood the characters.

[@EricBerger-p3x]

Seasons 1 through 5-ish, they're real persons. After that, they become one-dimensional caricatures.

[@arrv544]

@@EricBerger-p3x Absolutely

[@erikawilliams9558]

Did you still watch though?

[@Tshh11]

34:47 He was cheated on but he does still love her in some way, I mean for Carol she was already falling out of love with him for a longer time, not to mention, no atraction, but for him, despite having problems, the end (being cheated) was sudden, his feelings won't magically disappear

[@darth856]

Was it ever confirmed that she cheated? She could have kept things with Susan platonic until she told Ross about it. Unless I'm missing something?

[@Tshh11]

​@@darth856 Are you watching with her or have you watched the whole series? I know some who do the first that's why I ask beforehand. In the one where they show a year before the start of ep 1 it's implied, besides other dialogues and details

[@darth856]

​@@Tshh11 I've watched the whole thing. The flashback episode raised the possibility, but I don't think it was confirmed. But maybe it doesn't matter too much. Ross really loved her and would have been devasted either way.

[@Tshh11]

@@darth856 Right, either way it's a tough breack up (stronger since it's a divorced and they've even been together for 9 years)

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

It’s confirmed with the time timeline of the pregnancy. She was still sleeping with Ross while she was with Susan

[@KamoMustafaWWE]

Episode 13 was a lot of fun. I predicted who was in the shower each time the girls went to sneak a peak😂.

[@TheNextStep851]

The Valentines Day episode was always one of my favourites. Season 1 had some classics.

[@adnap]

This was the episode I previously referred to when I said there was still warmth and affection between Ross and Carol. But I think the point was that he got the closure he needed on letting go, starting over, and closing the door to his marriage. That kiss was their goodbye.

[@systerkeno]

I'm so happy for another Friends reaction 😍 Perfect when dinner was done 👌🏼 Gonna enjoy this 🥰

[@icedquokka]

Enjoy your foods, hope you have a great evening 🥰🤍

[@baron7755]

Whoa, whoa, whoa...Rachel and Chandler?! You cant just be blurting things out like that!

[@baron7755]

19:40 people forget that S1 Chandler is a babe-magnet, he is needy, afraid of intimacy, and emotionally crippled...be the ladies love him

[@the-wordplay-dojo]

When this was originally broadcast in the UK it was the 9pm slot on Channel 4, we'd switch over the BBC2 for the 9:30pm slot sitcom, then back to Channel 4 at 10pm for Frasier. This was my Friday night stoner house gathering before the Playstation, and the music went on for the rest of the night.

[@jkhoover]

"Oh... My... God!"

[@saberjunction819]

They never knocked on the door!

[@TamaraAlNaama]

The reason Chandler and the rest can't stand Janice is because they think her laugh is annoying.

[@havok6280]

It's not JUST her laugh...

[@CTag81]

She also doesn't repect boundaries

[@musicaficionado2974]

Did you miss the "tit fot tat" pun. Like Chandler said " I am showing you my tat"? That was clever and funny.

[@musicaficionado2974]

Sorry, "I am NOT showing you may tat". Typo.

[@renatocarlson1930]

Actress Jane Sibbett said she cried for real when she played that scene of Carol with Ross.

[@jobycross7880]

I wish I could say "Oh nooo" the way you do. I'm from LA and my mouth just can't make it sound right.

[@kiribuzz1067]

oh nooeerr

[@jobycross7880]

@ it’s like there’s an ‘r’ but there is no ‘r’. I think accents are super cool.

Welcome back

[@tofersiefken]

Honestly, if you've got no other plans, and you can hook up with your ex for valentine's day, and especially if that ex is Maggie Wheeler (Janice), you're not doing so badly for yourself.

[@GergelyTari]

Fisher Stevens looks like Squidward

[@-gohu-]

i can't imagine being cheated on by my husband and treating it like it's no big deal. hun, he's been acting "attentive" and "loving" not because he loves you, but because he feels guilty and/or he doesn't want you to notice he's been having an affair. if he loved you, he wouldn't feel the need to look for attention elsewhere. he would focus on you and your relationship, to fix what you have. so messed up.

[@BurghFinsFan]

Janice is the best, every time she appears is better than the last.

[@Heida77]

E13 is one of my favourite episodes! I hate Roger too but he brought some great comments and funny moments. He was also right in most of his assessments but of course that wasn't his place. And as entertaining and funny Joey's situation with his parents is, it still sucks. I guess if they're in an open/poly relationahip it's fine but it doesn't seem to be that way. His mum just kind of 'accepts' it but isn't necessarily okay with it. She also talks about how well he treats her due to guilt, which, if there was an actual agreement between them he wouldn't have to feel guilt (at least to my understanding of open/poly relationships). But the way they execute it is so funny 🤣 As for the 'boobies', it is important to note that though women's breasts are considered sexual they're not a reproductive organ, so comparing breasts to a penis is not really accurate. On the other hand, women see men's nipples all the time and it's not a big deal so there is a clear societal difference, and therefore women's nipples can't really be compared with men's nipples either. Whether that is the way it should be is an entirely different conversation altogether. Ross indeed didn't treat his date well (who's name I cannot even remember because she was so insignificant lol). She is more understanding than most people would be. Ross and Carol do have great chemistry and he's probably still attracted to her. She obviously loves him but is not attracted to him. If this was made today, Carol could very well have been bi. However, lots of gays and lesbians were in relationships/married to the opposite sex before they came out and loved their partner on some level, even if they weren't attracted to them in that way. I love Janice and I LOVE Chandler but he honestly treats her like crap. He never appreciates her while he has her (case in point that last scene where he breaks it off and she's like "whatever, I know you'll come back" and THEN he wants to be with her). I think he loves her on some level but is not IN love with her. It's this kind of familiarity thing (similar with Ross and Carol).

[@scGD10]

Omg his dad. You will see him(?) in season 7 i think

[@RaymondEdmonds]

That man febi talk to was in movie short circuit 1986

[@88happiness]

Janise is a fan favorite❤😂

[@ShanayaTurner-q8p]

This Christmas

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

I don’t know why you are so shocked Carol kissed Ross when she cheated Ross with Susan

[@RaymondEdmonds]

Man play joey was in some episods if merryd with children

[@ntiadicted]

"They are trying to sabotage him 24/7" Yeah, so doesn't that make Joey and Chandler BAD FRIENDS to Ross? Or are they excused, because it's just Ross that is a bad friend always. Okey then.

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

They just messed around with him a bit with the egg. They were the one who made him go talk to her with the first place and it worked, they just thought it was goofy thing. Ross actually did more long term selfish things

[@ntiadicted]

@sarasamaletdin4574 My comment went right over your head. You missed my point completely 😅

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

👍

[@claudiajaegr]

I forgot how young everyone is in season 1 🥲❤
