The New Year's Resolution Bet | Friends | Max

The new year is a great chance to become a better person, or for this group to decide how their friends should better themselves. With Rachel trying not to gossip, Joey learning the guitar, and Ross promising to only have one divorce in '99, no one's resolution is quite as difficult as Chandler vowing not to make fun of his friends... for a week.

[@hrpickens92]

@@vlassischatzis8574 This is something I still debate, to this day. Somedays it's Perry for me, and somedays it's Shwimmer. They both have great comic timing and very different methods of line delivery and expressions; and both those methods are great. What I've felt is that when it comes to sarcasm and verbal "jokes", Chandler wins hands down. And when it comes to physical comedy, it's Ross.

[@FatimaSorianoOfficial]

Oh, wow! I can literally feel Chandler's pain as he holds back his comments to those funny things. It's practically physical torment for the poor guy. LOL!

You can see the truth of your observation when Chandler finally caves, unleashes the sarcasm he's been holding back, then let's out a deep, guttural sigh of relief. Holding back seemed as though it was physically hurting him, if not outright killing him a little as Phoebe noted.

[@FatimaSorianoOfficial]

@@jdax21 You're right! That sound he makes after finally letting everything out seemed like it came from deep, deep within him. Like he could physically feel the relief of his release. Because of course it was hurting him. He could not be himself. So the ending makes it all worth it. That alone made this such an awesome storyline for him on this episode, in my opinion.:)

[@christopherbulovas5547]

Technically, the bet was that Chandler couldn’t make fun of “us,” meaning his friends, or that particular group of people. There was no rule stating he couldn’t make fun of other things or just topics in conversation, just no shots at Ross, Rachel, Joey, Phoebe, or Monica. That’s it!👍🏻

[@JoybuzzerX]

That's what I was thinking

[@jacobcoryell8258]

Well it would be making fun of Ross

[@christopherbulovas5547]

@@jacobcoryell8258 only if he tied it into Ross, just because you insult something does insult everything connected to it, this isn’t a case of splash damage via explosive burn! Technically, Chandler could have easily made fun of Ross’ dates name without losing, because she is a separate individual and not a trait of Ross, plus how would making fun the date’s name be making fun of Ross? And he can’t say “because I’m going out with her” then that means no one can make fun of anything without making fun of someone, because if you go deep enough, you can everything to everything is some odd way. Clothes to ideas, people to foods, jobs to interests, it loses the funny after a bit.😂 I know this is sitcome and. I’m over explaining but I wanted to get this out and I’m a bit bored.🤷‍♂️

He nailed his role in Studio 60, it is such a pity that the series was cancel later. He was wonderful in 2 serious movie roles, in Numb and Ron Clark. He is funny in Odd Couple too, lasted 3 seasons, but the script was not as good as Friends.
