I’m an old millenial and was still a preteen when Friends was at it’s height, barely an adult when it finally ended. Don’t think that was for us.
Yeah, but Friends was on Netflix early and most people I know watched it on there during college
Now wait a tic, friends belong to genx don’t put that shit on us we got enough on our plates
Yeah the millennial version of F.R.I.E.N.D.S is How I Met Your Mother, which is the marginally better white people in New York sitcom due to being slightly less homophobic.
Think “Millenial” sitcoms start properly around That 70s Show or Scrubs at earliest.
Neil Patrick Harris’s character did untold psychological damage to a generation of men. HIMYM is worse just for the bro code and introducing the word “epic” into the cultural milieu
.
It’s definitely funnier though ¯_(ツ)_/¯
friends falls of hard after like 4 seasons but early on it clears HIMYM for comedy writing quality. HIMYM is just big bang theory level unbearable for me
how i met your mother is way more transphobic though and less funny
ok but my favorite fan theory is that Robin is Trans and afraid to come out to her bigoted friends.
Elder millenials seemed to be obsessed with friends back in like 2014. Now there’s been some backlash so it’s cool not to like friends anymore, but many people are still on that train.
My friend was purposefully annoying his colleague by saying F.R.I.E.N.D.S was better than Seinfeld back in 2014, said colleague was smarmy and condescending and it nettled him a lot
The kicker is he only ever saw one singular episode in its entirety where two of the (male) F.R.I.E.N.D.S went into their respective bedrooms after seeing 2 girls kiss (with the implication that they were going to masturbate???), which co-incidentally is one of the 2 episodes I’ve seen (the other being the tall one upset that Freddie Prinze Jr is a male nanny)
Yeah I’m a younger millennial and plenty of people my age have given me “You’ve never seen Friends?!?”
We shit on ourselves wlenough without Zoomers doing it too
The Office and Arrested Development would be much more appropriately timed for millennial nostalgia
The only show I watched somewhat ritually with my family was X-Files which is better than all that other shit. Rewatched all 10 seasons recently and Mulder such a unhinged weirdo.
The guy lets his freak flag fly
Friends is totally gen X, it’s my mum’s comfort slop
This but Seinfeld, Simpsons and TNG
We never really had much of a culture so far as I can tell. How can one form when society’s rotting around you and everyone’s constantly shitting on you about avocado toast or whatever?
American culture is all retail based, a lot of chuds are obsessed with brands. Society tries to link our self identity and culture about what clothes you wear and cars you drive.
I have seen people say their life goals are to be wearing certain brands by certain ages. I’ve heard people bragging about the brand of cars that showed up to their yard sale. Ask a guy in a lifted truck why he drives a chevy and not a ford.
A hollow existence, wrapped around keeping up with the Joneses.
Yeah American culture is defined by media, fashion, brands, etc popular at a given time. It’s all consumerism, even the sub-cultures revolve around just particular types of consumerism.
Laugh tracks (and shows that use them) belong in the trash.
It’s really hard to articulate how shit they are until its removed from the scene

Except for David Lynch’s “Rabbits” of course.
Every watch edited clips of big bang theory with the laugh tracks muted? The whole vibe changes to that of a horror movie.
BBT is such hot garbage I don’t know how it got popular. There’s all the weird misogyny and ableism, too.
The episode of Mr. Robot where Elliot gets trapped in a 90s sitcom in his own head was disturbing because of the “live” audience.

Friends is a Boomer show not a millennial show
its a war crime to order chatgpt to write a pitch for this show
white people really be called cum and shit
