There was an episode where Joey had Chandler visit the tailor he had been going to for years, and the guy fondled Chandler. When he mentioned it, Joey thought it was normal. He had been molested for years and apparently it was passed off for laughs.

[@se7enwonders]

You think so? I always found this hilarious. And I and the younger sibling of my family and I get why it was turned into a joke. My feeling is that they take common situations and family stereotypes, and make them extreme for that reason. I will say, I love the episode, where they finally realize that Ross is not perfect and him and Monica go back-and-forth tattling on one another lol.

[@BlackTigr]

​@@jakekarti6821 Yeah but it was pretty obvious he didn't do much to really stop it and he didn't see it as that big of a deal when confronted about it. I am glad he seemed to support her at least a *little* bit more when she got older.

[@howardchu6302]

As a gay man and Friends fan myself, I don't think Chandler was necessarily homophobic towards his father; it was mostly his coming out that ended his parents' marriage when Chandler was a child (during the family holiday of Thanksgiving to add insult to injury). That can be very traumatic for any child and some carry it for most of their lives before they can reconcile it as adults. And as a minor note, Charles Bing/Helena Handbasket (love that pun!) was never actually identified as a full-on transgendered character. There was no mention if he switched his pronouns or gender and he was mostly portrayed as a drag queen. Granted he was played by a cis-actress so perhaps it was left to our imagination. Furthermore sitcoms and series of the past are a reflection of their eras and show what the world was like in times gone by. It's really no different to comedians making jokes about the issues of today at the expense of various members of their audience. Instead of overly criticizing these sitcoms, maybe we can just appreciate how much the world has improved. I really worry that cancel-culture may be getting a bit out of hand these days. It's like no one is allowed to enjoy anything anymore...

[@HopeWren]

WHERE IS CAROLS INFIDELITY ON THIS LIST! I never understood why people just ignored the fact that Carol cheated on Ross! She lied over and over again. Tbh, I agree with a theory that Carol & Susan wanted a baby & basically used Ross without his consent! Like why would Carol consent to sleeping with Ross so far into her relationship with Susan?! 🤷🏻‍♀️On top of that, the way they basically tried to cut Ross out or at the very least overpower him when it came to the pregnancy & the baby!

[@amandaredd3057]

Yeah I agree. They act like Ross can be as involved as he wants but it seemed clear that they would've preferred he kick rocks. I guess it all worked out but that situation would mess anyone up

[@RyoUrawa777]

[@SupergirlUK]

Friends has a perfect representation of a Healthy relationship (Monica & Chandler) Toxic relationship (Ross & Rachel) and Platonic relationship (Phoebe & Joey). Although Ross is THE worst character, David Schwimmer is the best actor of the bunch, his delivery was always excellent 🤌 Ross had some good qualities, and without Ross being the worst, we wouldn't have had those teachable moments (although not hitting on family members, should have been a given 😅)

[@RyoUrawa777]

@@janeenharrison1953 they were on a break though not to mention Ross was drunk when it happened

[@NatalieMllr]

Chandler and Monica are not a perfect relationship, but a toxic one, as Monica is always belittling Chandler as a man and she is abusive for only allowing her opinions to count in the relationship, when in fact it is a two-way street. And the WORST CHARACTER is Rachel who is only funny when she has other characters to push her, not Ross who is a human being who actually makes mistakes, besides being very funny and a person willing to help everyone.

[@BerishaFatian]

What bothers me is that when Paolo sexually harrased Phoebe, all the attention was focused on Rachel as if she's the victim, because Paolo wasn't who Rachel thought he was and now she has to break up with him. But no one paid attention to Phoebe who was the real victim.

[@McCarthy0000]

I think because Phoebe was practically immune to bad things happening (to her)....she lived on the streets among criminals, it might not even be the first time a guy tried to molest her. Still not ok, but it was understandable.

[@BerishaFatian]

I don't think that was the case. At that time, sexual harrasment wasn't taken seriously. This is why when Phoebe tells her friends about it, they've added some funny lines to make it look sort of a funny situation. You can also see these kind of things in other old sitcoms.

[@renehiggins1117]

Well, you have to admit. Nobody can play a better Ross than David Schwimmer.

This is definitely one of those opinions I have that I get flamed on, but yeah, I actually liked them better in comparison. They actually supported each other in their fields and didn't look down each other for that. I still love that scene where Rachel's pregnant and Ross accidentally brings her a sandwich with pickles and she has to go throw up in the bathroom cuz they make her sick. And she shouts from the bathroom "can someone make sure that's gone by the time I come back?" and Joey goes "don't worry, I'm on it!" and then proceeds to eat the sandwich. 😂 To me, I find that a better dynamic.

[@Blitze9792]

I honestly wish she followed her career path and went to Paris! The older I get the less I like Ross and Rachel. Also agree on Rachel and Joey, or Rachel and that Gavin guy. But honestly her leaving for Paris was the perfect way to end Rachel's story arc imo. Starts a spoilt, naïve girl, bailing on a marriage to moving to an entirely new Country to pursue a once in a lifetime job opportunity.

I admit Ross is scripted to have social flaws, but Rachel: - was also jealous about Julie - tried to prevent Ross-Emily wedding - convinced Ross to leave Bonnie - lied about videotape The list was idea of Joey and Chandler, and Ross was drunk when he cheated if I remember correctly, and then tried to fix his mistake.

[@kirjoittajajenni]

Okay, so Ross dated a student. So did Monica and Rachel (well, briefly, but anyway). I never thought that Chandler's father's storyline was bad. Any child would have difficulties dealing with parents divorce and understanding why dad likes now boys and dresses like a woman. But Chandler wanted to learn and forgive, and invited his father to his wedding and even called him beautiful. In my opinion that was a perfect way to show that their relationship was healed. Ross also attended Carol's and Susan's wedding, and showed some growth there dealing with that stuff. There are of course problems on this show, but to make a show interesting and entertaining characters have to have flaws and they have to make stupid decicions, because perfect and vanilla characters aren't interesting. And if you start to look at these over 20 year old shows too closely from this day's perspective, everything can start to seem wrong, even the smallest jokes.

[@prachiangrish]

Age wasn’t really the only problem in Ross’ relationship, it’s the fact she was HIS student not just A student.

[@lagadema16]

And Pheobe's 18-years old brother dating a teacher, don't forget about it.

[@kiminimuchu__]

Not the same. The issue was Ross dating his own student, on his work place, which is pretty unethical and against their code of conduct. Monica's was bad, but not because the guy happened to be a student, but because of his age (I'd have included that on the list tbh, the age thing was pretty bad). Rachel dating some random college student was pretty inconsequential, a worse one for her would be her dating Tag, her direct employee, though at least he wasn't quite as young as Elisabeth. Though, really, imo the worst offender was Ms. Knight, who dated Frank, Phoebe's 18yo brother who was also her high-school student. They're a funny couple, but that storyline always creeps me out.

[@JustLeeThings]

These “unforgivable” moments are what happens in real life and is so relatable. And this video and the comments below it about who is the worst makes no sense. No one is perfect as a human. They have shown how people have stereotypes of gender roles, insensitivity to alcoholism, making lists or whatever you mentioned in the video through these characters. OFCOURSE they all have flaws. And that’s exactly how its supposed to be.

[@JustLeeThings]

@Milan that is exactly what I meant. Its a funny series and my favourite too. But the person who made this video doesn’t think so. It’s like throwing hate on FRIENDS.

[@sh3rocks01]

They’re not throwing hate towards “Friends” just pointing out the flaws and the many things that haven’t aged well. It’s also not hateful to point out negative things. Either way this is just a video plainly for entertainment and not everyone is going to like it.

[@Wikia3033]

For me he most unforgiving moment is Ross's refusal to divorce Rachel after Vegas. Him asking Rachel to stay his wife - not because they can give it a try, or that they'll be good together - just because he didn't want another divorce! That is his only argument. And after, staying secterly married to Rachel, lying to her about it, was also very stupid. At first it was funny, but now - rewatching it 10 years later - I find this situation deeply disturbing... Plus, Rachel, thinking that Ross "took care" of things, and that she didn't sign a paper - was also very stupid. And how they both dealt with inevitable divorce - childish.

[@KathyAnn1978]

Having grown up during the AIDS crisis under Republicans, I feel this was a pretty good way of dealing with trans people at that time. Now, with trans people being more visible, Chandler's arc with Helena would be bad. But, at the time, given the political and social climate, it was fine. All the Friends eventually embraced Helena.

[@rsrocha1984]

Yep. You cannot judge the past with the eyes of the present. Friends had a lot of growdbreaking subject. Chandler was transphobic, for sure, but the show never said he was right into being transphobic, in fact, bu the end, went the other way. That is a beatiful conversation between Chandler and Monica when he is complaining that Helena went to his swim competion dress as Carmen Miranda and Monica answer that he shoulnd complain, because she went to see his son, that what really matter in the end.

That's not fair to put that at number one. Chandler was in the most shock of the change and I think he accepted it as well as he could as an adult that was thrown a ball out of left field.

Joey can cheat all he wants but with Paulo, a meaningless fling with a language barrier is worse?

Totally Chandler lying to Janice, effectively screwing her out of a good house in a good neighborhood? That's okay but heaven forbid you make a fat reference.

[@cassidysandelin4648]

Alot of people here saying how they hate Ross while I'm over here thinking that Ross is one of my favorite characters😅 Yes, he did things that were not okay, but so did everyone else. Rachel tried to sabotage all of Ross's relationships and then continued to not want to pursue a relationship with him. The Bonnie thing was ridiculous and then she had to rub it in his face that he was a cheater (have a whole other opinion about this situation) after reading the letter that she wrote to him. Why? Because deep down she always loved him. Phoebe didn't always treat Chandler right and if you wanna bring in cheating, she kissed David while being with Mike. Monica was fine at first with the OCD, but it got to be really bad, especially when she was in charge of Phoebe's wedding. And she wanted Chandler to spend all of his savings in a huge wedding that he didn't necessarily want. He wanted to be married to her of course, but he wanted to put that money towards a house for them. Chandler kissed Kathy while being with Joey (even though she showed interest in him) and fat shamed Monica in their early years. And yes, Joey is a beloved character, but he was a player. There were a few women who wanted him to call back and he never did, making it seem like it was their fault. And as far as the list goes, Ross was dumb to write it, but the guys shouldn't have encouraged his to compare the two in the first place. But guess what? That's what makes the show so great. Every character has their own flaws because no one is perfect. The show would have been too damn boring if everyone was perfect and there were no flaws. I'm not offended by anything these characters did BTW, I was just pointing out that they have all done things that weren't great. I love the show and agree that some concepts wouldn't be allowed today. Thats why I'm glad it was made years ago😂

i would have to disagree about the #1. not everyone is open about talking about their transgender parent's new identity. think of the psychological impact it will have one that persons pre-existing children. Bruce Jenner's sons practically wrote him off when he transitioned to Caitlyn, the Kardashian sisters were initially shocked but eventually accepted him as a her and Kendall and Kylie took very long to get adjusted to her and of course his ex-wife Kris has showed resentment towards him ever since (he was still male before he divorced her). point is this is not a light subject to handle easily and lots of people often turn to comedy when they can't handle something serious, i mean Chandler himself said he makes jokes when he's uncomfortable. Plus you gotta look at the time. not to say that jokes like that are ever ok, but the trans community wasn't even a blip on the ordinary person's radar. Friends did try to be commendable by hiring an actual woman with a known gruff voice and a knack for comedy, cuz they were afraid that getting a trans-woman would turn that person into the "joke of the day" which would have absolutely ruined them. Plus Chandler did actively try to overcome his prejudice by trying to fix his relationship with his transgender father. at least that's how i see it.
