      I was kinda bothered that she took their side on that. That she didn't see that they were both showing some red flags there. It was written as such. Not to bag on Monica and Phoebe because every friend has their issues and red flag moments. I always felt they were showing behavior that I usually complain about some men doing. The "I did all that stuff, you owe me better, you should feel obligated to go out with me". And the guy was in a coma while they were doing all that anyway. And making up the ideal man image they built for him also goes to the typical complaint about male behavior, building up this whole idea of desperately wanting to be with him based on knowing absolutely nothing about him except his looks.

      Yeah there are some moments that when they come up, I hope she changes some of her opinions on Ross. Not that he's perfect, he have his problematic moments, so I understand some of it. Except the earlier complaints she had about his dealing with his ex-wife and her girlfriend, giving that they did cheat. Though I remember at the time quite a few people thinking he was in the wrong then too. But yeah, there are upcoming moments that if they don't change her mind, I'll wonder.

      I’ve noticed this a lot. Nothing personal to her, it’s like the entire generation does this and I’m just having a hard time understanding. A perfect example is all the people that see tiny bits and pieces of shows like Friends and Seinfeld and go on an absolute rampage about how “problematic” the characters are. It’s literally NOT that serious, because in the 90’s, we understood that things were just meant to be comedic and not to9 tear apart every little thing people did on a tv show as if it was real life.

    So, just a little something fun to note:
    At some point in the series, Joey gets a Magna Doodle for the front door. In each episode there will usually be a thematic drawing or limerick that relates to the plot. So now that you know, you can keep an eye out for that because it’s just a funny little easter egg, and it typically takes awhile for people to catch onto them.

    I understand your take on Ross and Rachel's relationship and I see your point. However, I might say that he's not that bad of a guy. All of them have flaws, and that's supposed to be the relatable aspect of these characters. The premise of the show is how life sometimes doesn't work the way you expected, especially at an age where you're still figuring things out. That's why we make bad decisions, but there's room for growth.

      There are a lot of good men in this world. Kind, respectful, sane, understanding and trustworthy men that deserve a chance.
      There has always been a double standard for what is perceived as ok by society for traits that men and women have, and what is acceptable in their behavior. Yes, even in comedy.
      But to be fair,
      It is typically men who are the aggressors, and not always in a good way. If this is someone you’re just meeting, A no should suffice.
      It is men who are typically serial killers.
      It is is typically men who have forced women to perform unsavory acts in order to keep their jobs.
      Men ruined men for other men.
      Obviously it goes without saying that not all men are like this. But like Ross said, now women just need to develop a more sophisticated screening process.
      A woman should never feel unsafe in a relationship.
      Ladies, if he treats you like a true gentleman treats a lady in the beginning, but then starts to show signs of emotional instability, he's showing you his true colors.

    I gotta be honest for a sec, in the beginning I was also finding kinda strange the Ross commentaries, but now I go straight to the comment section as soon as I hear you say something just to see people getting mad XD
    Relax people, stop white knighting for Ross, it gives the same fedora hat energy as if it was a woman or something.

      I don't know if this was satirical but he was the intoxicated one of the both of them and she took advantage of that.

      I'm annoyed at all the triggered sore men imposing their reverse gender politics on this sitcom and pestering IcedQuokka.

    Would watch this reaction if not for the annoying Christmas music you’ve put in the background :(

      Yes yes, I said the same thing! I had to stop watching. Surprised that you and I are the only ones who've mentioned it.
