Dukat: clap clap clap clap
There are four claps.
Of course, someone had the foresight to make that happen. Beautiful.
Side note, you posted this twice.
Funny, I only clicked Reply once but I’ve got really intermittent reception at the moment and it messes things up.

Pretty sure it was about baseball
I thought it was wrestling

I am going to use this opportunity to bitch about Friends. I hate Friends. I hated Friends when it was originally on and I hate it now. I hated all the really unfunny jokes, I hated the fact that it was yet another show about successful white people in New York, I hated all the annoying lines people would quote, I hated the fact that women were getting haircuts based on the show and I really hated David Schwimmer.
The only thing I didn’t hate was the theme song, which I have to admit is really good.
I hated the video for it though. It was the Friends cast once again not making me laugh.
I used to dislike David Schwimmer until I realized it wasn’t David Schwimmer I hated but Ross. Schwimmer was amazing as Herbert Sobel in Band of Brothers and I realized that he is an amazing actor.
You’re right, he was really good in Band of Brothers.
I hated Herbert Sobel too, but that was the point.
There’s a recent YouTube video where the creator watched a bunch of Friends and calculated how much time was spent on “not jokes”.
IIRC he found that 25% of the show was taken up by laugh tracks or cheering by the fake audience. That’s separate from the time wasted by commercials.
That show was incredibly successful considering how little content they actually put in it.
I didn’t get it back then and I don’t get it now. What was the appeal?
All I know is that it prevented me from watching Seinfeld because I was outnumbered by my sisters and my mother who loved that shit.
Seinfeld was really funny to me at the time, but when I go back and watch it, all I can think about is how awful all of them are, and yet they’re also really successful (even George eventually). And again, a bunch of white people living in New York City without serious money issues. I also can’t help but notice the near total lack of people of color in Seinfeld and Friends. Those shows totally whitewash New York City, which, ironically, had a black mayor for part of the time those shows were on the air.
Larry David was explicit that throughout the show they never learn or grow as people. They are and always will be horrible, neurotic, assholes. The whitewashing is a bit noticeable. Holds up reasonably well, though I could do without the laugh track.
I can’t watch shows with laugh tracks any more. Finding out that the European version of M*A*S*H had no laugh track and watching that version was amazing.
without serious money issues.
Local comedy gives me my fill of comedy about money issues. Ever had any comedy clubs ‘round the neighborhood yourself?
Used to do standup regionally and hosted a comedy night at a local club. We talk about being poor because you get paid shit unless you’re big time. And even a lot of the people who get spots on the late night shows aren’t driving shiny new cars. They’re driving ten-year-old Honda Civics.
is it possible to run a local comedy club that pays well and stays in business?
I also hate David Schwimmer, so I recommend the season of Curb Your Enthusiasm where he’s a complete ass.
Season 4 but why not start with Season 1 :)
Wouldn’t say i hated it, but that shit was totally missible
To me, a banal show is much more offensive than a bad show.
There was a show years ago called Homeboys from Outer Space. It was as awful as it sounds, so obviously no one watched it and it tanked.
But Friends just kept chugging along, doing nothing to justify its existence as a piece of entertainment but somehow insanely popular anyway. I find it as inexplicable as the popularity of some of the big influencers I’ve seen who act like they couldn’t give less of a shit to be in front of a camera.
If you’re not going to try, don’t try.
This picture was brought to you by the colour blue.
Also, it’s quite a nice photo, but Nana Visitor looks like she’s just sat on something sharp there!
Sharp or fun at least.
Im suprised Michael Dorn isn’t in this. Jake/Lofton is old enough in this shot it looks around the 4th season.
Sisko went cue-ball for the last couple episodes of season three, so it’s possible that the picture took place between seasons when they could not yet reveal Worf’s presence.
Man, I totally forgot how popular Canadian tuxedos were in the 90s.
Just the 90s?
3rd rock from the wormhole.
If NBC had the rights, we’d have had a crossover where they are stuck in the holodeck in a recreation of Friends with their memories erased. They ultimately have to figure out its really not Friends and idk, maybe Phoebe helps them since she’s the only one who would realize it’s a simulation.
This goes along with my head cannon that Pheobe is aware she’s in a TV show and nothing really matters.
Quark looks like Quark from dental advertising.
This had to have been the cover of a TV Guide…
