Personally, I don't really consider Friends to be worth watching.

Freshman year, the hot girls would all assemble in the TV room to watch Friends and ER. Therefore, all the boys that didn't understand the meaning of "friendzoned" would assemble in the TV room to watch the hot girls watch Friends and ER.

ER was okay. It had its moments. The one where the kid from Fame gets his arm cut off by a helicopter needs no preamble. Friends had probably one moment, which is the one where Phoebe says "he's her lobster" but in order to get to the point where it makes sense you have to slog through 38 episodes of tedious entitled white people problems.

What's the line from Breakfast Club? "A brain, an athlete, a princess, a basketcase and a criminal?" Friends is a douche, a bitch, a dweeb, another bitch, an idiot and a ditz.
