Yesssss. His character is criticized disproportionately, but it’s truly the mark of fantastic acting and midway through he starts to almost carry certain episodes 😂
Agreed! When you watch the whole series you’ll have an appreciation for these more cozy episodes. The middle of the series 3-6 are definitely the best though.
i honestly think the reason season 1 isn’t as good is purely because it’s establishing the characters. I think rewatches of the early seasons get better and better with time
first season is alright, a good start but they're still trying to find their footing. second and third season is when you start really bonding with the characters and all the fun. heartwarming, funny, sad, and timeless show
Your take on Ross aligns with what a lot of people think… but like a lot of people, you’re wrong. Obviously he seems more mopey about love than Rachel, but why wouldn’t he be? Actually consider their situations. Rachel was about to marry a guy for money despite having no feelings for him, but ran away because she found him unattractive. Ross just came out of a three-year marriage with a woman he’d dated since college, who had a prolonged affair and then divorced him to be with her lover in the place they’d lived in together. One is a wishy-washy rich girl who does whatever she wants and the other is a guy who just had his whole life turned upside down by betrayal from the person he should have been able to trust most.
Another curiosity I've heard about this show is that the actors that performed Ross and Rachel (David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston) had a crush on each other when they started filming and this crush helped to create this chemistry they had throughout the series. But they didn't end up together because at that moment they had their own couples and they respected that and just stayed as very good friends and this friendship still continues.
A lot of people believe that they had something on the side, which i also believe is true 😂. They just didn’t want to admit that lol. All the interviews and behind the scenes, you see they were very close and emotional whenever speaking about each other, especially Jen. Plus we can see even more of that during the reunion episode in 2021. But yea they truly were the best. Jenvid 😊
My top favorite sitcom of all time. I grew up on this show and Chandler has been and always will be my favorite character as I’ve always related with him and his sense of humor.
Ross Geller: the funniest character with chandler and the best character. As long as people see his flaws like the others. Some people say Ross is bad for something, yet when another character does something even worse they don’t care. 😂. But once you learn each character Ross is definitely up there.
Favorite characters have changed over time for me, currently it's Chandler. I relate to him a lot more now :') Can't wait to see more of your reactions to this!
My favorite character is and always was Phoebe. She's so weird but in the best way. Of all the people of the group I'm literally Chandler though. I use humor to lighten up a serious situation or when I think it would be funny to say. Plus I work in a job and no one really knows what I do other it's something with computers.
Friends is my comfort show, and I love watching people watch for the first time. Yay! Chandler was always my favorite character while I was growing up. As an adult I appreciate the humor of Ross more (especially season 5 on), and he might be my favorite to watch.
the first season is really really good but in my opinion it keeps getting better with each season. so excited to rewatch friends with you 💜💜 and it's definitely my favorite tv show
Loved your reaction, subscribed immediately! I really hope you continue reacting to Friends, you've probably heard this a lot already but the show just gets better and better and better with each season.
In my opinion, Jack (Ross and Monica's dad) is more obliviously harsh (couldn't think of a better word). He means well and you can tell, but he doesn't notice how he may come off. Judie (their mom) is just flat out cruel and rude
Ross had his jerk moments, but so did everybody on the show, like Phoebe 'n Rachel. But still David made Ross so funny, that my funniest moments 'n the ones that still cracks me up the most are from Ross/David
Friends is definitely my favorite sitcom of all times and I’m not even that big on sitcoms.Chandler and Monica are my favorite but the rest all have their sassy and funny moments
This is great. Another channel. I am so exited to be in your journey. Can’t wait for the end of season 4 and the start of season 5. From s2 it will be so great.
FRIENDS is my absolute favorite tv show. I own two copies of the entire series on blu-ray. I watch it every night. It's my comfort show. I grew up watching it. Chandler Bing is my favorite character. I can relate to him the most. RIP Matthew Perry.
Yeej!! Another Friends reactor! Always so happy when i find one, you're gonna love this journey and the charachters, my favorite charachter is Chandler
I like how you sympathized with Rachel over Barry who she left on the altar. But the moment he said he hated her and now has met someone special you weirdly creeped out by him.
I loved this first time round. The recurring characters are great. At the time, me and my mate were VERY sharp, sarcastic, sparring partners, always trying to come up with the best responses.....so naturally, I was always drawn to Chandler. RIP Matthew Perry.
Rachel's father is a cardiologist or a cardiothoracic surgeon and yeah, she is spoiler and rich and her life was always supposed to be her being a trophy wife. From her family home to her husband's. The characters are all around 25-27. Ross and Monica are probably a a year apart. Rachel went to high school with Monica, the same year. Chandler is the same age as Ross, they went to college together, and Joey probably around the same. Phoebe I'm not sure if she is older like the guys or the girls' age. The actors were similar ages, Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry were the youngest at 25 in the pilot. Matthew was the youngest in the cast and sadly the first to die. Matt LeBlanc was 26, David Schwimmer was 28 and the oldest ones were Courtney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, 30 and 31. Which is funny, because Monica is the younger sibling but Courtney is older than David. Honestly, despite loving the representation in 1994, Carol and Susan annoy me sometimes. If it's not obvious, she cheated on him with her, and I have no idea if she got pregnant on purpose so she could have a baby, but not putting his last name and putting Susan's is ridiculous. I mean, I'm all for adoptive parents, but not when the actual parent wants to be involved and it sucks they excluded him from all the important conversations. He and Carol were married and she sprung this all on him and then she was having their child but he wouldn't be there all the time. A shitty situation.
You're adorable. I'm glad I found you. Don't get used to this Carol Willick. She was recast on the show after the 1st 2 episodes! Anita Barone, wanted to have a more prominent part in the show, rather than just being a recurring character. And since Friends was only in the second episode, she had no idea that it would go on to become one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. So, she decided to leave the show. Jane Sibbett, who played Carol afterward, actually auditioned for Rachel. When Anita Barone left, the producers quickly called Jane and asked her to come back and audition for Carol
My favorite is Phoebe, she is so caring but also will tell it to you straight. Like she has no filter, and it leads to some hilarious situations in the show. She's the biggest troll of them all too. Now in terms of crushes though, it's definitely Joey. That man is a dreamboat, and though he lives the "f-boy" life, he shows how much he cares for the main group of friends in his own little way. I also love how secure with his sexuality he is, something quiet rare to see in sitcoms of the time, which you'll get to see plenty moments of. ;)
How often are you planning on posting these, if I may ask? You think you are enjoying them now, but they will only vastly improve with things like character development, impeccable writing, the actors falling into their roles and guest/cameo appearances. This will give your subs a nice boost. (I already was a subscriber) 😊 I’m excited for you.
Welcome to this incredible journey of watching friends. If you already like the beginning of the show, it can only become better and better so I can't wait for the followings episodes and seasons ;)
Chandler is my favorite character, and Phoebe is my 2nd favorite. While "Friends" isn't my all time favorite show, it's one of my favorites. I often watch it when I need a mood lift.
Hi. Friends is probably my all time favorite TV show before Lost, I love the arch of these characters and Will enjoy seeing you follow it as well, I subscribed because I genuinely loved your reaction, I know there are other Friends reactors but aside from your cute smile and gorgeous Aussie ? Accent I liked that you were following what was going on. My favorite character is Chandler because of his arc, just where he starts but keep watching to see. My second fav is Monica , she s got her own journey and personality I really love and Courtney Cox back then was Gorgeous.
Great reaction welcome, to the world of friends ur gonna love all ten seasons can't wait to see more reactions take care stay safe Anthony gibbs south West London England ❤
Excellent! Another Friends reactor!! Loved your reactions to these first episodes. I'm a new fan of this series. I started watching it this year through Warner Channel and now, I'm starting Season 8. It's a lovely series and it's getting better and better. I hope you continue reacting to this series. Although I started watching this series this year, I knew all the main actors by watching them in different movies. Now, I can list my favourite characters like this: 6- Joey 5- Phoebe 4- Rachel 3- Ross 2- Chandler 1- Monica Now, I can say that I'll miss Matthew Perry (Chandler) a lot. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷
The characters on Friends were about 10-15 years older than me. But the characters on How I Met Your Mother were my age. So I related to it a bit more.
It's interesting that you said you thought Monica was the older sibling, because in real life the actress Courtney Cox is older than David Schwimmer who plays Ross.
Omg Susan and Carol are the worst. They have an affair, she finds out she's pregnant and THEY decide to name the baby Minnie? Susan... this ain't your kid. Imagine if she cheated with a man and they were doing this. It would be expected that we hate them both, but we're supposed to understand because they're lesbians. 🙄 OMG and the "It's my baby too." You've been together like 3 months!?"
The Cocoa Couch reacted to the first couple of episodes with Thor Reacts a few months ago. He's on Season 5 now. If you want another good reactor for the show.
@@tierneybeckett Thor (now known as Nick Reacts) and The Cocoa Couch are my two favorite reactors. I’m looking forward to this channel making its way through the show.
Friends is definitely dated in a lot of aspects but it was also pretty groundbreaking in a lot of ways. You can still point out the problematic stuff while loving the show. It's just such a comfort show that you can watch over and over again. I cannot count how many times I've watched it through all 10 seasons. The characters are also all relatable in their own way and they have their good and bad qualities. Chandler was always my favourite though. Matthew Perry was so funny and improvised about half of his lines throughout the series. Rest in Power ❤ The OBGYN scene is funny but also frustrating. Carol and Susan were being so unreasonable. I don't find anything wrong with Susan's name being involved because DNA isn't everything and she will also be the mother. But that Ross the FATHER shouldn’t have his name is absurd! Also, lesbian or not, Carol DID cheat on Ross, as it was heavily implied she and Susan had something going on while she and Ross were still married. If she had cheated with a guy even more people would understand why he's so hurt. As for Rachel, regardless of her feelings for Barry or the fact that she left him at the altar, I would be upset if my best friend hooked up with my ex on what was supposed to be OUR HONEYMOON. Also, to explain: Monica & Rachel were friends in high school but had drifted apart and Ross & Chandler were in college together. Some time in between they all (aside from Rachel) met Phoebe and she moved in with Monica. She has, however, moved out at this point. And Joey has recently moved in with Chandler and become part of the group. Fun facts: The show went from being called "Insomnia Café" to "Friends Like Us" to "Six of One" and finally "Friends". Also, the first episode has three alternate titles to "Pilot": "The One Where It All Began", "The First One" and "The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate". David Schwimmer was first to be cast. The writers had remembered him from when he auditioned for an earlier pilot of theirs; they had written the part of Ross with him in mind. At the time, Courteney Cox was the most well-known of the six main actors. She was being considered for Rachel when she read the script and thought she was a better fit for Monica. At the same time, Jennifer Aniston read for the part of Rachel after initially being considered for Monica. Vince Vaughn (who coincidentally would later date Jennifer) auditioned for Joey. Lisa Kudrow won the role of Phoebe because the producers liked her as Ursula, a waitress in Mad About You. Jane Lynch also auditioned for the role. Matthew Perry had previously worked with the writers and auditioned because he identified with the character of Chandler. He read for the role near the end of the casting period and got it in under a week. Once all of them had been cast, James Burrows, the director of the pilot, decided to take them to Las Vegas for dinner to allow them to bond and get to know each other before filming began. Ross was actually originally going to be younger than Monica. Also, Chandler and Phoebe had originally been written as more secondary characters who were just there to provide humour around the other 4. They had become part of the core group by the time casting concluded. NBC executives were worried that the content of the show was too racy and that the audience would dislike Monica for sleeping with Paul the Wine Guy on the first date. After the taping of the pilot, the studio audience was given a questionnaire by NBC and the survey results showed the audience didn't care. There was a live audience during the filming of every single episode. That's the laugh you hear. As an episode could take up to 5 hours to shoot in the studio, the producers hired a comedian to entertain the audience during set changes and breaks. The comedian would also "warm up" the audience before shooting continued. The laughing probably takes some getting used to for someone is not used to watching sitcoms like this. I'm so used to it now because I've watched the show over and over so many times. Also, sometimes they laugh because of things that were going on behind the scenes so the viewer may not always get it. Plus the fact that humour 20-30 years ago was different than today. People have often pointed out that the friends would not have been able to afford the apartments, which is a valid point, but some of it is explained later. Also, the writers noted that the set had to be big enough for the cameras, lighting and the audience to be able to see everything. It also needed to provide enough space for the actors to perform certain actions in the script. The golden frame around the peephole was originally a mirror which one of the crewmembers accidentally smashed. But because it still looked good they decided to leave it there. In the first episode when Monica goes to get Ross his coffee, a very brief shot of Rachel can be seen passing the doors to the coffeehouse, presumably on her way to Monica's apartment. However, one must look very carefully to see this. At the end of the first episode, the plant on the table in Monica's apartment is dead, likely as a result of Joey and Chandler pouring coffee in it earlier. Matt LeBlanc had a fever and flu the first day of filming. He was at 102°F/39°C and had to use a variety of remedies. Jennifer Aniston had previously worked as a waitress when she was a struggling actress in her teens. During the Friends reunion in 2021 (which I recommend watching after the show), Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer admitted to having crushes on each other during the show. Elliott Gould (Jack, Ross and Monica's dad) was married to Barbra Streisand. Goofs: When Paul the wine guy first comes to Monica's apartment, Phoebe is standing in the kitchen telling Rachel that she just pulled out four eyelashes. But in the very next shot, you can see her sitting in an armchair in the living room. In the extended DVD version there's a shot showing Phoebe walking to the chair. When Rachel gets half of the cookie from Ross, she breaks it in two. You can see Rachel playing with it but a few shots later it's in one piece again. You can see this just before she puts the cookie back on the plate WITHOUT EATING IT!!! Lastly, a ThighMaster is an exercise product designed to shape one's thights. It is essentially two pieces of metal tube bent in a loop and connected with a hinge. It's put between the knees and they are squeezed together.
Don't know which I enjoyed more, the show or your British accent (and your cute punim, sorry, but I really did). Thanks for the reaction! Friends is may favorite show and I am so looking forward to your next reaction. I am very excited to embark on this wonderful journey with you. Hope you last. Cheers!
@@icedquokka Oops! I did it again! Doesn't change the fact, though, that I like you, Friends and your reactions to them! I also love Crocodile Dundee. Am I absolved?
Ross gets a bad rep, but he becomes the funniest character on the show for me. David Swimmer is absolutely hilarious
Same! David had the best comic timing on the show!
Yesssss. His character is criticized disproportionately, but it’s truly the mark of fantastic acting and midway through he starts to almost carry certain episodes 😂
Yeah ! Another Friends reactor ! The first Season IS good but The show IS just getting better and better.
Please continue !
Im so excited!! 🤍🤍
I think the first season is the best and the others are still good but it gets less good every season but still good, in my opinion lol
Agreed! When you watch the whole series you’ll have an appreciation for these more cozy episodes. The middle of the series 3-6 are definitely the best though.
@@Pinkladyisvagreed - Seasons 3-6 are peak.
i honestly think the reason season 1 isn’t as good is purely because it’s establishing the characters. I think rewatches of the early seasons get better and better with time
first season is alright, a good start but they're still trying to find their footing. second and third season is when you start really bonding with the characters and all the fun. heartwarming, funny, sad, and timeless show
Your take on Ross aligns with what a lot of people think… but like a lot of people, you’re wrong. Obviously he seems more mopey about love than Rachel, but why wouldn’t he be? Actually consider their situations.
Rachel was about to marry a guy for money despite having no feelings for him, but ran away because she found him unattractive.
Ross just came out of a three-year marriage with a woman he’d dated since college, who had a prolonged affair and then divorced him to be with her lover in the place they’d lived in together.
One is a wishy-washy rich girl who does whatever she wants and the other is a guy who just had his whole life turned upside down by betrayal from the person he should have been able to trust most.
Favorite character - Ross Geller
Mine too.
Another curiosity I've heard about this show is that the actors that performed Ross and Rachel (David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston) had a crush on each other when they started filming and this crush helped to create this chemistry they had throughout the series. But they didn't end up together because at that moment they had their own couples and they respected that and just stayed as very good friends and this friendship still continues.
A lot of people believe that they had something on the side, which i also believe is true 😂. They just didn’t want to admit that lol. All the interviews and behind the scenes, you see they were very close and emotional whenever speaking about each other, especially Jen. Plus we can see even more of that during the reunion episode in 2021. But yea they truly were the best. Jenvid 😊
PLEASE CONTINUE THISSS SERIES!
I will don’t worry!! 🤍🤍
Ross had had a crush on Rachel since high school. So it's pretty normal for him to want to make a move, cause they're both single now.
You're setting off on a magical journey. Enjoy.
OMG I love watching people react to Friends for the first time! It’s so much fun! I would love for you to continue
I’ve already pre recorded a couple episodes, almost half way through the season 😊 I’m loving it so won’t be stopping!
My top favorite sitcom of all time. I grew up on this show and Chandler has been and always will be my favorite character as I’ve always related with him and his sense of humor.
Ross Geller: the funniest character with chandler and the best character.

Chandler was always my favorite character while I was growing up. As an adult I appreciate the humor of Ross more (especially season 5 on), and he might be my favorite to watch.

Phoebe's sister first appeared on another sitcom, Mad About You.
It's definitely one of my favorite sitcoms! My favorite character changes each season. But overall, I think Chandler is my favorite.
I subscribed when I saw you were starting to watch Friends. I love the show and all the characters, though Ross is my favorite.
only thing I can say is don't hate Ross all the way, especially after season 5 where he's such a good character
I like how you sympathized with Rachel over Barry who she left on the altar. But the moment he said he hated her and now has met someone special you weirdly creeped out by him.

Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷
friends was the first non disney sitcom I finished and adored. my favorite character is chandler followed by monica.
Another Aussie Friends reactor!
The first couple of seasons are good, but they get better and better over the next few seasons.
My favorite characters change each season lol, everyone has been my favorite at least once, but I think Chandler and Rachel are my overall picks
The characters on Friends were about 10-15 years older than me. But the characters on How I Met Your Mother were my age. So I related to it a bit more.
No one asked about how I met your mother
Dont judge Barry until later, right now he was left at the alter by Racheal.
Favorite Character? Chandler! Always!
Corona was .... eh
but it made me watch FRIENDS
so im kind of grateful
I used to love friends when I was in school it was so funny
Chandler is my favorite. RIP Matthew. 😢
Lisa Kudrow was 31 , Courtney Cox 30 , David Schwimmer 28, Matt LeBlanc 27 and Matthew Perry and Jennifer Aniston 25 in 1994.
Oooo that’s similar to what I was thinking! That’s awesome
i acc agree with ross’s reactions with the baby stuff, it’s not like susan and carol got together after they broke up. Susan’s a homewrecker
It's interesting that you said you thought Monica was the older sibling, because in real life the actress Courtney Cox is older than David Schwimmer who plays Ross.
Omg Susan and Carol are the worst. They have an affair, she finds out she's pregnant and THEY decide to name the baby Minnie? Susan... this ain't your kid. Imagine if she cheated with a man and they were doing this. It would be expected that we hate them both, but we're supposed to understand because they're lesbians. 🙄
OMG and the "It's my baby too." You've been together like 3 months!?"
Just when I was about to become an orphan of Thor Reacts you show up with this great vid! Hopefully you'll continue watching the show :)
The Cocoa Couch reacted to the first couple of episodes with Thor Reacts a few months ago. He's on Season 5 now. If you want another good reactor for the show.
@@tierneybeckett Thor (now known as Nick Reacts) and The Cocoa Couch are my two favorite reactors. I’m looking forward to this channel making its way through the show.
Gets miles better also
My dear little sister, your big brother has returned 😁
Rachel comes from a very rich family and is considered the spoilt one of the group.
Friends is definitely dated in a lot of aspects but it was also pretty groundbreaking in a lot of ways. You can still point out the problematic stuff while loving the show. It's just such a comfort show that you can watch over and over again. I cannot count how many times I've watched it through all 10 seasons. The characters are also all relatable in their own way and they have their good and bad qualities. Chandler was always my favourite though. Matthew Perry was so funny and improvised about half of his lines throughout the series. Rest in Power ❤
The OBGYN scene is funny but also frustrating. Carol and Susan were being so unreasonable. I don't find anything wrong with Susan's name being involved because DNA isn't everything and she will also be the mother. But that Ross the FATHER shouldn’t have his name is absurd! Also, lesbian or not, Carol DID cheat on Ross, as it was heavily implied she and Susan had something going on while she and Ross were still married. If she had cheated with a guy even more people would understand why he's so hurt.
As for Rachel, regardless of her feelings for Barry or the fact that she left him at the altar, I would be upset if my best friend hooked up with my ex on what was supposed to be OUR HONEYMOON.
Also, to explain: Monica & Rachel were friends in high school but had drifted apart and Ross & Chandler were in college together. Some time in between they all (aside from Rachel) met Phoebe and she moved in with Monica. She has, however, moved out at this point. And Joey has recently moved in with Chandler and become part of the group.
Fun facts: The show went from being called "Insomnia Café" to "Friends Like Us" to "Six of One" and finally "Friends". Also, the first episode has three alternate titles to "Pilot": "The One Where It All Began", "The First One" and "The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate".
David Schwimmer was first to be cast. The writers had remembered him from when he auditioned for an earlier pilot of theirs; they had written the part of Ross with him in mind. At the time, Courteney Cox was the most well-known of the six main actors. She was being considered for Rachel when she read the script and thought she was a better fit for Monica. At the same time, Jennifer Aniston read for the part of Rachel after initially being considered for Monica. Vince Vaughn (who coincidentally would later date Jennifer) auditioned for Joey. Lisa Kudrow won the role of Phoebe because the producers liked her as Ursula, a waitress in Mad About You. Jane Lynch also auditioned for the role. Matthew Perry had previously worked with the writers and auditioned because he identified with the character of Chandler. He read for the role near the end of the casting period and got it in under a week. Once all of them had been cast, James Burrows, the director of the pilot, decided to take them to Las Vegas for dinner to allow them to bond and get to know each other before filming began.
Ross was actually originally going to be younger than Monica. Also, Chandler and Phoebe had originally been written as more secondary characters who were just there to provide humour around the other 4. They had become part of the core group by the time casting concluded.
NBC executives were worried that the content of the show was too racy and that the audience would dislike Monica for sleeping with Paul the Wine Guy on the first date. After the taping of the pilot, the studio audience was given a questionnaire by NBC and the survey results showed the audience didn't care.
There was a live audience during the filming of every single episode. That's the laugh you hear. As an episode could take up to 5 hours to shoot in the studio, the producers hired a comedian to entertain the audience during set changes and breaks. The comedian would also "warm up" the audience before shooting continued. The laughing probably takes some getting used to for someone is not used to watching sitcoms like this. I'm so used to it now because I've watched the show over and over so many times. Also, sometimes they laugh because of things that were going on behind the scenes so the viewer may not always get it. Plus the fact that humour 20-30 years ago was different than today.
People have often pointed out that the friends would not have been able to afford the apartments, which is a valid point, but some of it is explained later. Also, the writers noted that the set had to be big enough for the cameras, lighting and the audience to be able to see everything. It also needed to provide enough space for the actors to perform certain actions in the script.
The golden frame around the peephole was originally a mirror which one of the crewmembers accidentally smashed. But because it still looked good they decided to leave it there.
In the first episode when Monica goes to get Ross his coffee, a very brief shot of Rachel can be seen passing the doors to the coffeehouse, presumably on her way to Monica's apartment. However, one must look very carefully to see this.
At the end of the first episode, the plant on the table in Monica's apartment is dead, likely as a result of Joey and Chandler pouring coffee in it earlier.
Matt LeBlanc had a fever and flu the first day of filming. He was at 102°F/39°C and had to use a variety of remedies.
Jennifer Aniston had previously worked as a waitress when she was a struggling actress in her teens.
During the Friends reunion in 2021 (which I recommend watching after the show), Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer admitted to having crushes on each other during the show.
Elliott Gould (Jack, Ross and Monica's dad) was married to Barbra Streisand.
Goofs: When Paul the wine guy first comes to Monica's apartment, Phoebe is standing in the kitchen telling Rachel that she just pulled out four eyelashes. But in the very next shot, you can see her sitting in an armchair in the living room. In the extended DVD version there's a shot showing Phoebe walking to the chair.
When Rachel gets half of the cookie from Ross, she breaks it in two. You can see Rachel playing with it but a few shots later it's in one piece again. You can see this just before she puts the cookie back on the plate WITHOUT EATING IT!!!
Lastly, a ThighMaster is an exercise product designed to shape one's thights. It is essentially two pieces of metal tube bent in a loop and connected with a hinge. It's put between the knees and they are squeezed together.
