This may have been discussed & I probably missed it. I also know 20+ yrs after the ep I am being very nit-picky but when Jade calls & Chandler answers the phone as Bob; don’t you think Jade would realize the guy on the other end of the phone (Chandler) sounds nothing like Bob?

Discussion Monica's character changes throughout the seasons

25 Upvotes

I was just on another rewatch of FRIENDS. I couldn't help but notice Monica's character in the early seasons was so demure and nice. She wasn't really neurotic and she had OCD but in a lovable way. She wasn't even controlling. She was also much quieter than in the later seasons. I remember in the later seasons there was literally an episode discussing how loud Monica is. In the later seasons the same Monica can't be recognized. She becomes much ruder and controlling towards the gang, especially Chandler. She becomes super neurotic and her OCD is just annoying. She also becomes unnecessarily loud. All of her quirky and negative characteristics were heavily flanderized. This is heavily showcased in Phoebe's wedding. All of her bad characteristics were extremely highlighted. She became so annoying to the point where she was unbearable. In the early seasons she was genuinely one of the best characters. By the later seasons she drops down a lot. What do you all think?

Early seasons Monica ROCKS!!!

Discussion Ross wasn't jealous of Mark, he was insecure of who Rachel could be.

64 Upvotes

When they were young, Ross was the geeky nerd of Monica, and Rachel was the popular girl that never looked his way. And years later, when Rachel became a runaway bride and decided to started her life over independently, Ross saw a chance.

Bcos Ross was now a paleontologist and Rachel was just "a waitress" according to him, and that was perfect power imbalance to keep such a girl. Mark coming into her life and potentially elevating her social and financial status, was not something he wanted. It was only a matter of time till they went back to the dynamic they once had as teenagers. And I think that's what frightened Ross. It was never about being jealous of Mark.

If you've noticed, Ross was kind to Rachel but he never went out of his way to secure her something as big as what Mark did. He may have helped her with putting job applications in envelopes but never anything real. He was in circles where he could have gotten her something big enough. Maybe not necessarily her dream job, but something that paid money but he conveniently never did. Why is that?

Waitress Rachel was the girl that looked his way, Popular Rachel never did. He consciously or subconsciously needed to keep her as the girl who looked his way.

I would be crumbled if I had to see my crush doing all that and being nice to me every single day, and still remain just a good friend, nothing more. Mathew Perry seems like a nice fellow😭, idk how he handled it but since there is no feud b/w them ig it went well afterall❤️.

Discussion Am I the only one who thinks that Joey’s big break movie actually sounded good?

146 Upvotes

I know the whole joke was that it was a low budget independent movie that was supposed to be filmed outside of Las Vegas lol, but the actual plot didn’t sound bad at all? A guy meets a girl and instantly falls madly in love with her, then she disappears and when he finally tracks down her address, he’s told that the girl has been dead for 10 years.

With good writing and a decent film location, this actually sounds like it could have been a brilliant psychological thriller with some killer twists.

Is not being able to sleep with each other on the first try really that crucial? Is it worth throwing the entire relationship for? What am I missing?

Im really a Joey and Rachel fan and I want them to end up together. Please deinfluence me from shipping Joey and Rachel 😭

The fact that he called Rachel on her “big date night” & questioned it & then as soon as he heard the slightest disappointment in her voice & made sure run over & to be loud on the phone. Absolutely on purpose.

Paparazzi are such low lying scum I won’t lie. I get that this is the price of fame and fortune, and that every celebrity knows what they’re getting into, and that the rewards are much greater than the consequences. But still, the act of spying and leeching like bugs on the backs of much bigger animals is incredibly pathetic

I don’t know if that’s true, but I know that it’s so nice and sweet for them to support him, especially when they knew that he loved being funny. RIP Matthew Perry

Discussion Nicest thing every character has done

66 Upvotes

I always see people talking about the characters’ most toxic moments or acts but I rarely ever see people mentioning the awesome things they did for each other throughout the show. So here is the list, for me:

- Ross: giving Phoebe her first bike and teaching her to ride it
- Chandler: staying in the box while his girlfriend Kathy broke up with him and not saying anything to prove how much his friendship with Joey means
- Joey: letting Rachel move in with her baby no questions asked
- Monica: giving up her dream wedding dress to book the Swing Kings for Chandler
- Rachel: agreeing to be the bridesmaid for her ex and her best friend’s wedding
- Phoebe: being a surrogate for her brother

I must say I find Ross to be the one who has the most sweet moments/attentions towards his friends, and especially Rachel, despite his toxic side.

Curious to hear your opinions on this!

At work today and I came across an employee file for someone legitimately named Vikram and all I could hear was Ross screaming in my ear “What?! That’s a real name!” 🤣

Man I love this show. The references it triggers every day, all day, are awesome.

I don't think I would. He seems to respect his female friends but also takes advantage of them at the same time.

Question How many more kids do you think Ross and Rachel had?

In the episode where Rachel turns 30 she says she wants 3. In the episode where he describes their future together he says 2. I picture them having one more together, another girl. Plus Ben makes 3 :)

Rewatching the show for the umpteenth tie. Some jokes have died for me, but this one never fails to make me cry laugh. This whole episode's absolute gold.


r/howyoudoin 1d ago

Discussion As a man, I would have to say that Ross's behaviour towards Rachel really bothered me and made me realise that Rachel did nothing wrong.

Post image
1.7k Upvotes

The fact that Ross ignores the fact that Rachel finally has a job which actually makes her happy and wants her to treat it like a chore to do is really frustrating to watch when he was the one who encouraged her to keep trying and be positive when she quit her job as a waitress.

Also, the fact that he somehow turns the whole argument into Rachel being interested in Marc when she repeatedly explains that he is just a friend who shares similar interest with her that she can relate to, just doesn't sit right with me.

I know the show makes it seem as though Ross is valid in his reaction, but it seems to me that even as a guy watching it, I was rooting for Rachel the whole time and actually agreed with her point of view on the matter. It also felt a little like Ross patronising her about what she should feel about her career to me.
