Protein, and black labels with jagged fonts.

Plus Phoebe seemed like she had other social circles outside of the group, like she wasn’t as dependent on them to define her as a person. 

I like this, but I don’t think that Joey voted for Trump. Joey maybe thought about it because his family did, but he realized that Trump was harming people—and Joey probably has a fairly pro-immigration stance, even if he’s not sure about vaccines. Ross and Rachel happily voted for Biden—they think they’re terribly…

Phoebe was by no means dumb, and one of my favourite things about her was that she was this little seditious voice that pointed out how spoiled everyone else was by their social class, and she reminded the audience of this. She was a friend, but she was capable of taking the approach of, “oh, you’re worried about…

I agree about Joey. Upon first viewing, I always thought his reactions to/pronouncements about things were idiotic. Now, much later, I find myself thinking,”Well, he’s actually right about that...” when he reacts to something.  I think he’s held up the best of all of them.

In the passage of time, your friends become different people when they reach middle age. I 100% guarantee Chandler, Joey, and Monica voted for Trump. Monica’s only friends now are on QAnon message boards. Rachel and Ross are having a hard enough time keeping their marriage together, I’m sure Covid isolation made the…

First of all, you are so correct in your analysis, save for the fact that I actually think JOEY also brought the comedy and quirkiness through his idiocy.

Phoebe is by far the best Friend, but Joey was pretty solid and incredibly loyal - he kept Monica and Chandler’s relationship secret for MONTHS and they got caught by the rest of their friends (separately) on their own. He provided a place for Rachel and Emma to live out of the goodness of his heart (unlike Ross, who…

no matter who the best Friend is, Ross will always be absolute fucking worst.

phoebe is the only good friend. imo, joey comes second only for being less annoying than the rest. my personal LEAST favorite is that terrible man ROSS. it’s almost like he has no redeemable qualities!!!

I remember identifying with Chandler the most when the show first aired and I was a young high school/college aged dude imagining what my life would be like once I moved to Manhattan.

He messed up the part about killing himself after he found out that his child bride died by suicide.

And then coerced her into marrying him (her rapist) and give birth. That child lost his mother when he was, what, four years old? And now his father is blaming him for his “life choices”? Jesus Christ, I hope that kid has health insurance and an excellent therapist & found family.

And the shit he says about his son…that poor guy. They’re estranged bc he doesn’t agree with his life choices or something to the effect?! Good god. I mean I guess having sex with a 13 year old would be worse than what this asshole, running for Liz Cheney’s seat, has done but I suspect it’s nothing as clearly…

At least in the play Romeo offed himself instead of running for Senate.

So I guess it was a little bit like Romeo & Juliet.

The GOP has a sizable pro-rape constituency, so this could give his campaign a boost.

There’s a word for this scenario, what is it? It’s escaping me...
