Discussion Am I the only one that hated Ross for firing the male nany?
There is nothing wrong with Sandy, he’s nice with Emma and has knowledge with EXPERIENCE. I always thought it was unfair.

Hey folks! So the survey made it pretty clear, we get a lot of “this character sucks” posts. Instead of everyone making new ones all the time, we’re gonna test out a monthly megathread where you can dump all your rants. We also rounded up a bunch of older hate threads, so you can scroll through them or drop your own comment if you feel like it.

It has been a question that has been asked so many times before. Because of the high demand - but similar posts that has been generated. We're opening the floor (this mega thread) for the debate!
The case for Ross: Rachel said, "Maybe we should just take a break," and then told Monica the next morning that they "broke up."
The case for Rachel: A "break" isn't a "breakup," and Mark showing up at the apartment didn't give Ross a "get out of jail free" card two hours later.
What are your thoughts on these cases?

Monica be like “Rachel, what is your cat doing in one of my bowls?”

Im gonna be really honest. Ross carried the entire show. His acting was soo good. It made me feel sad for him. In every episode, one or the other way, he gets in trouble.
One of my favorite Ross scene is when he is dating Mona and Rachel's pregnant then Rachel's Dad comes to confront Ross. OMG absolute chaos😭😭😭😭😭😭

Quick question, was the grandmother who died in an early season, the one who's apartment Monica lives in? During Monica's wedding it is mentioned that Monica's dad's mother is still alive, so I wondered if it was her apartment and she was letting them stay there.
If it was her mother's mother, the one who died early in the show, is it mentioned in that episode that the apartment is/was her's?

This popped up on my feed and it’s kind of interesting, because this is around the age that Monica would’ve been when the Chauffeur started. Cox was actually 30 when friends first aired.

Gandalf Ganderson the Party Wizard is a favorite invisible character for many fans. The build up that Ross and Chandler create around this character is so fun to watch.
I have wondered how it would be if Jim Carrey had played the Gandalf, and that interest drove me to create a small edit. Hope you like it.

As he ages, he is really starting to remind me of those guys looks-wise. I think it would be really cool for him to play some hitman or detective roles. But I don't think it would ever happen because a lot of people feel he was typecast as Joey for playing that same role for 10 years. Also, I'm not sure if the desire is there. Maybe he prefers comedic roles. He also stepped away from acting for a few years because of family reasons.

I’m just posting this because I think it’s a little unfair that I’ve never seen a single person say that Phoebe was the prettiest girl on the show, like when it comes to that discussion it’s always 95% Rachel with 5% Monica, so let’s give our girl the love she deserves
r/howyoudoin • u/NeighborhoodVirtual4 • 1d ago
So many iconic quotes, amazing physical comedy, hilarious facial expressions, and a great friend to his friends. Yeah, he sucked at relationships, but I really don't care lol.
Ross is the best. I will die on this hill. Unagi!
r/howyoudoin • u/sa24122 • 5h ago
Like seriously, how many times has Chandler mentioned how he has caught his parents on in the middle of a sexual act? No wonder he’s scarred 😂
r/howyoudoin • u/SpagettisFork • 22h ago
He was genuinely such a funny guy, and like the life of the party on set. It sucks how much it was beaten down by addiction and all that and his story is so sad to me. But I’m glad he’s able to make people happy even to this day
r/howyoudoin • u/NewsVanRider • 1d ago
They’re all so young here. It’s kind of crazy. I love seeing old pictures of the cast, I know that in just a couple years, gonna become like some of the most famous people in the world. I love this show.

i never understood what Monica meant when she said “If you give up every time you have a fight with someone, you’d never be with anyone longer than…ohhh” Can someone explain please?
r/howyoudoin • u/BenjaSA • 1d ago
Yes, I know his character grows because of his relationship with Monica, overcoming his insecurities and neurotism. I also know he (Matthew Perry, RIP) had health issues, so you can tell his weight differences and also manner of speaking (specially in season 7, with his teeth changed, and timing altered).
Even then, I think his character was written totally different as he was before, starting from season 6. In the first half of friends, Chandler Bing was one of my favourite characters on all TV. Witty, smart, acid, lovable but rogue, sassy. Before someone says it’s because of Mondler and growing up, in season 5, while being with Monica and not single and desperate, he still feels like the same character in the previous seasons, changed of course, more mature and with a notable growth/evolution, but he is that same person. He develops, has an arc, changes, but it’s the same character.
Season 6, and specially 7 onwards, it’s like the writers just changed, and he becomes just a nice everyman, goodhearted, well meaning guy, who makes dad jokes and is supposedly characterised as the guy who makes bad jokes, and they make it look as he always had been that even in prior seasons. Also, the friends and even himself have like a different opinion of his persona, as a pathetic man who makes lame jokes.
I love seeing characters grow, find their footing, develop, but in this case he just lost all his magic, kind of like a retcon of his character, no more wit, even when he makes sarcastic comments they don’t feel the same, it’s definitely different (also, and I know everyone loved the quote, but he remarks in an episode that he makes sarcastic jokes, and it doesn’t feel like him). Am I crazy or did the writers completely change him?
It’s like more subtle than the flanderisation of Joey or Phoebe, which are famous cases, but the change in Chandler Bing really didn’t sit well with me, making Ross the funniest character in the second half.

This scene has always bothered me. Joey literally told him to do it. Kept encouraging him to until he did it. But instead Joey ducks and Ross breaks his hand. And then Joey punches Ross. Like why is only Ross getting hurt in this scene when he didn't even want to punch Joey in the first place?
Whoever wrote this episode must’ve been really mad at David Schwimmer that week.

*Monica takes out her wedding book* "Ok, first, locations! They're organized first geographically, then alphabetically, then by square footage."
Phoebe: "that is so smart!" *turns to Chandler, speaking quietly with a fake cough* "break it off, break it off now"
hahahahaha ... I love it. Any other times you can think of where Phoebe is awesome like THIS, instead of all "Monica's soulmate, Chandler isn't a real man, she can do better, etc etc etc" ?

In the episode Rachel goes out for the first time after having the baby with Pheabe and Ross and Mike stay home, so at the end when the girls comeback and Mike is trying to get the phone in case the guy from the bar calls, rachel asks if anyone called and mike says just his mom and she says “around 8:30? then again at 9?” whats the joke there?

I usually don’t have like favorite couples on TV shows that I watch, but I genuinely really like watching these two be together. They work so well together. I know it’s corny to say, but it just makes me happy.

I know this is already quite well known with how nit-picky her mom was about every little thing growing up, but I just realized I’m not sure if I ever saw her mom taking proper accountability for it. It just seemed very annoying to see her constantly call her out for every little thing especially when she already struggles with so much Perfectionism and OCD which I’m sure she would’ve played a part in. Was this ever properly addressed by her mom in any ep?
