the prime audience for the original air date is gen x
but millenials grew up on reruns and then binging shows on netflix and reading filler lists abotu tv shows on buzzfeed
homie DBZ and Sailor Moon aired right after kids got out of school so like 2 PM meanwhile Friends aired in the afternoon and on weekends
well, in my c**t anyway
his point is that people have been calling others from much later generations boomers especially online for years now and the term is rarely being used literal, its simply to make a stark contrast between zoomers and older gens. Theres your spoonfeeding you autist

have a nice day
Eh, it's comfy. Not brilliant, maybe a few funny episodes. But comfy. It's nostalgic to watch a show that's not so riled up in gender identity/racism. Late game Ross is the highlight
Friends is the posterchild of vapidity. It literally makes you dumber and more narscissitic the more of it that you watch. At least Family Guy makes an attempt at teaching people shit every once in a while.
Friends is funny in the same way bobs burgers is funny. You just sorta have to turn off all major brain functions and revert to purely lower brain functions (to keep you breathing etc) and then just sort of stare at the screen.
I'm 32 and I have never seen one single episode of friends. In fact the only interaction I have every had with the show is this one ultra obscure youtube video making fun of a song by the jam band moe. for being such a shit song. I think they played it live twice due to overwhelming derision.
Friends isn't a comedy
It isn't really funny and doesn't really try to be
The conceit of friends is the watcher gets to self insert as the other friend in the group, hang out on the couch in one of their apartments or coffee shop, and regale themselves as being part of this great friend group
If you don't want to hang with them the show is completely pointless, less plot than Seinfeld and no jokes
Friends, when it started out, was basically a Seinfeld ripoff for women. Then its audience ballooned up and the execs discovered third-worlders from Asia and Post-Soviet countries loved it because of how glamourous New York appeared.
Trust me there are many of us who grew up seeing that garbage on and don't get it either. Shit isn't funny, the actors suck and the show was detestable.
I liked the comedic bits and the characters were pretty charming, especially Pheobe and Chandler. The relationship drama is something you kind of slog through.
Frasier was actually funny, Seinfeld was really dull though
I can't stand sitcoms like that. Feels like a drug to keep people barely functional and using the TV as a substitute for friendship rather than actually interacting with others.
>tfw i have watched and enjoyed Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory multiple times each and all of them are great to me
I just like sitcoms
So true, fellow broccoli head. Firstly, where are le heckin minorities? NY ain't that white. Second, Ross and Rachel's toxic relationship is just so ugh. I can't even. And Joey's misogynistic attitude gives me the ick. Plus the transphobia is a major red flag.
Lastly, I don't need an obnoxious laugh track to tell me when to laugh. Instead I'd rather have a character mug the camera or explain the joke over again. Fr fr. Deadass no cap. Ain't finna be bussin.
Show is comfy. Means of escapism. Relax and stare at the screen for a few hours. Imagine being twenty something in the nineties in New York and having friends. Try to copy Chandlers personality at work the next day. Don't have a nice day
Friends is a millennial thing, not a boomer thing
yeah boomers watched the brady bunch
the prime audience for the original air date is gen x
but millenials grew up on reruns and then binging shows on netflix and reading filler lists abotu tv shows on buzzfeed
Boomers are anybody above 29 years and 0 seconds old, boomer
If you watched a full R rated movie in the 90s you're a boomer now.
And zoomers are anyone below 10 years, zoomer.
>t. 28 year old boomer
Friends is for Gen X and above. Millennials were watching Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon when Friends was airing.
homie DBZ and Sailor Moon aired right after kids got out of school so like 2 PM meanwhile Friends aired in the afternoon and on weekends
well, in my c**t anyway
DBZ started airing like five years before Friends.
>Love and have watched every episode of Seinfeld multiple times
>Can't bring myself to finish one episode of Friends
Anyone else in the same boat?
Seinfeld is literally the big bang theory of the 90s.
that doesn't sound good to me
Exactly. That's my point.
I'm implying Seinfeld was bad.
Nope. Seinfeld is literally the big bang theory of the 90s. It's been proven multiple times as well.
that implies BBT is good
i think he's implying that seinfeld is bad
well thats just not true, theres few sitcoms as good
That was Friends
For me, it was Frasier.
I will join you in your opinion. Frasier.
Friends has always sucked, and I'm in the exact age bracket for it. I love Seinfeld though, watched it all the time growing up.
Sames
literally me
it was a different time
Yes, people were stupid back then and had poor taste.
it was funny sometimes. SOME times.
personally I was just looking at Jennifer and Rachel's boobs
Joey was the only funny one, classic based moron archetype
People born in 1946 were not the ones obsessed with friends, idiot OP.
Every day this place is plagued with the dumbest of newbies. Please just leave
Baby Boomer: Born 1946 - 1964. Being less moronic than you are does not make me a newbie. moron.
holy frick dude
>I AM STILL YOUNG
at least theyre all in shape.
>nooo stop being fun and start being a miserable c**t who cries about their finances and never fricks any pussy
>act. your. age.
literally, actually, unironically does. lurk more

r/woooosh

have a nice day
>implying it wasn't
cuz it's a normies and chad socializing sim for foids not a comedy
you had to be there
just be a frasierchad we run this board
Based Frasier bros.
Eh, it's comfy. Not brilliant, maybe a few funny episodes. But comfy. It's nostalgic to watch a show that's not so riled up in gender identity/racism. Late game Ross is the highlight
Ross is the only reason to even tolerate letting it be on in the background
People who pretend to hate friends are the same snobs who think they're too good for Family Guy
Friends is the posterchild of vapidity. It literally makes you dumber and more narscissitic the more of it that you watch. At least Family Guy makes an attempt at teaching people shit every once in a while.
I don't like either so I guess you're right. IQ too high maybe?
Family guy is just annoying trash
"Family Guy funny moments" compilations on youtube are funnier than slogging through the show.
Yeah I think family guy can have funny gags but you'll have to sail through a sea of shit to find them. I'd never watch an episode of family guy
Friends is funny in the same way bobs burgers is funny. You just sorta have to turn off all major brain functions and revert to purely lower brain functions (to keep you breathing etc) and then just sort of stare at the screen.
this is how I look at anything with a laugh track
I'm 32 and I have never seen one single episode of friends. In fact the only interaction I have every had with the show is this one ultra obscure youtube video making fun of a song by the jam band moe. for being such a shit song. I think they played it live twice due to overwhelming derision.
The thing you have to understand about normalscum comedy is you have to be a normalgay to even understand it.
Boomer here. I didn't get it then either. It was just on the same night as Seinfeld.
Imagine not enjoying the moistmaker
huge seinfeld and frasier fan but friends is totally unwatchable, how can any man find the relationship drama entertaining
>dude I hate Friends I'm so le quirky
I honestly think liking Friends is the less popular opinion at this point
its not boomers its normies
Friends isn't a comedy
It isn't really funny and doesn't really try to be
The conceit of friends is the watcher gets to self insert as the other friend in the group, hang out on the couch in one of their apartments or coffee shop, and regale themselves as being part of this great friend group
If you don't want to hang with them the show is completely pointless, less plot than Seinfeld and no jokes
We have twitch for that
thats why it sucks, they're not remotely the kind of people any cool person would wanna hang with, you want friends like Kramer in your life
So basically RLM
Friends, when it started out, was basically a Seinfeld ripoff for women. Then its audience ballooned up and the execs discovered third-worlders from Asia and Post-Soviet countries loved it because of how glamourous New York appeared.
It’s more like Cheers for women.
It was always shit, the drone NPC show of its day.
Seinfeld was much better
>I don't understand popular thing please take note and consider me special!!
>i don't even own a television
Trust me there are many of us who grew up seeing that garbage on and don't get it either. Shit isn't funny, the actors suck and the show was detestable.
What Friends character are you? I consider myself a bit of a Joey but I suspect people consider me Ross.
Season 3 ruined it for me when Courtney Cox started having shit hair
You got memed son
I liked the comedic bits and the characters were pretty charming, especially Pheobe and Chandler. The relationship drama is something you kind of slog through.
Frasier was actually funny, Seinfeld was really dull though
I can't stand sitcoms like that. Feels like a drug to keep people barely functional and using the TV as a substitute for friendship rather than actually interacting with others.
It’s a good thing we’ve matured beyond that sort of shallow, surrogate friendship right bro? R..right?
Yeah it's basically live-action anime comedy. Loud and obnoxious.
>tfw i have watched and enjoyed Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory multiple times each and all of them are great to me
I just like sitcoms
boomer here. friends sucks. it's like one of those CBS comedies from teh 2000s

Way, no way
Friends is, was, and always will be a show for women and gays. We'll never understand it.
Show is comfy. Means of escapism. Relax and stare at the screen for a few hours. Imagine being twenty something in the nineties in New York and having friends. Try to copy Chandlers personality at work the next day. Don't have a nice day
