[friends] Even 80's Chandler's got to cry 'cause they're all saying goodbye!
On of my favourite TV ad campaigns of recent times has been Steven Seller's musical Friends adverts for Comedy Central UK. I've been watching a lot of Friends re-runs recently, reminding myself of what a brilliant character Chandler Bing was (all the friends had great moments, but Chandler was WITHOUT FLAWS), and I grin like a lunatic whenever one of these adverts comes on. (The Friends ads not by Steven Seller aren't anywhere near as good.) The only flaw is that these ads regularly neglect Monica, though Seller has promised more Monica in the future.
So basically, much as my last post was nothing but video clips of Horrible Histories songs, this post will be entirely comprised of these idents. I swear, one day, I will make a post made up of words. BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY.
IDENT #1 - They'll Be There For You/Smelly Cat
The Smelly Cat bit at the end is clearly the best part of this one, but the rest is pretty epic. Especially the inclusion of "The Routine".
IDENT #2 - Season Ten
"I'm old!" (HE'S OLD!) "I'm cold!" (HE'S COLD!)
IDENT #3 - Joey Tribbiani's Guide to Dating
"All the sexy ladies, guess what? You're in luck! Joey's gonna invite you up to see his chicken and his duck!"
IDENT #4 - Guest Stars Part 1
"Dr House in tha house back when he was British!"
IDENT #5 - Guest Stars Part 2
"Rachel and Monica fight over a man, the Muscles from Brussels, Jean Claude Van Damme!"
IDENT #6 - Watch Friends
"THIS IS AN ADVEEEEEEEEEEERT!"
IDENT #7 - Ugly Naked Guy
"Remember when Phoebe thought he had died and they used chopsticks to poke Ugly Naked Guy?"
IDENT #8 - How You Doin?
Not really much to quote in this one. It's too short.
IDENT #9 - JANICE!!
"She wants a romantic partner. You'd better watch out, Chandler!"
IDENT #10 - Gunther
GUNTHER GUNTHER GUNTHER GUNTHER!
IDENT #11 - On A Break
"See? He's her lobster!"
IDENT #12 - The Holiday Armadillo
I think this one might be my favourite. The Holiday Armadillo is amazing.
IDENT #13 - Smelly Cat Solo
"It's not your FAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUULT!"
