I love friends but of course there’s too many extremists on each side. There’s the die hard fans that act like it’s the best show every created and then the “I hate the show but I talk about it whenever it’s brought up bc I need to let everyone know my opinion is different from theirs” crowd that is equally eye roll worthy

Ross being pathetic is like a running joke in the show. I don’t know how anyone can think the show supports him being toxic.

[angriest_girl]

Of course it does! Rachel got off a plane and gave up her dream job for him. She fires the male nanny because he was so insecure and pissy about it. The show laughs at Ross but it ultimately gives in to him.

That said, Ross is the best and most interesting character and David Schwimmer is amazingly good in that role.

[automaticpeople]

She fired the nanny because Ross was ultimately right in saying that he wouldn’t hire someone Rachel was so uncomfortable with. The show didn’t support him being uncomfortable and even had Ross delve into his childhood to explain it. Rachel got off the plane because she loved Ross and had a baby with him, but that doesn’t mean his past behaviour was supported.

[angriest_girl]

You’re justifying his toxic behaviour, just like the show did.

[automaticpeople]

No I’m not 🙄 Not one part of my post said Ross’ toxic behaviour was ok.

[angriest_girl]

Disagree, but I don’t want to fight about a nearly 30 year old sitcom. I said my piece.

[automaticpeople]

Yeah, I’d back off if I couldn’t point out something non-existent in a post too.

[angriest_girl]

Lol, ok. You keep gaslighting people about Friends, I’m moving on with my life.

[automaticpeople]

🤣 Gaslighting.

I can see where your name comes from. It would’ve been easier to say where I excused him, but like I said, it’s non-existent.

fr and like it's a SITCOM. it's not to be taken seriously as a regular show, characters do awful things to create obnoxious situations and make jokes. no one watches these and believes they should be good/real people

[progression]

I agree with all of this. He’d be insufferable irl, but as a tv character he was the BEST. Schwimmer’s facial expressions, tone of voice, even the physical comedy (like the cringe inducing leather pants scenario) were amazing.

[mystic_kiwi]

Yeah, I only watched Friends as an adult after it came to netflix but Ross was my favorite character. If I knew him IRL I wouldn't be able to be in the same fucking room as him, but as a character to laugh at??? Schwimmer played him perfectly!

[frankthesheep]

It's just background noise for when people do life stuff.

Not for the diehard fans that go to friends-themed events and pop ups.

[brokecouture]

I won’t lie, when I get to my hotel room putting friends on the tv for background noise def helps me wind down from a long day

[veritas_44]

Yup... Funnily most of ONTD is the latter on so many topics.
