Friends

[HannahC]

I’ve been reading up about Matthew and now watching friends has such a different meaning. He doesn’t remember filming seasons 3-6. In the earlier seasons he’s already on drugs. In season 2 he says he’s on so many pills. When he’s skinny it’s pills when he’s fat it’s alcohol.
When he proposes to Monica he is addicted to alcohol and then in the next season (S7) he is skinny again because he has been to rehab.
He said his fave episode to watch was Chandler and Monica’s wedding as that is when he looked his healthiest. He had been driven from a treatment centre to film and was going through rehab. And the only season he was sober the entire time was season 9 which is when he won an Emmy. It just shows how talented he is that he was able to play this hilarious character whilst having so many struggles in his personal life. You would never ever be able to tell he was addicted to anything. He must’ve hid it very well. It makes watching it now really difficult especially as he struggled to watch it himself. Apparently he was addicted to alcohol from the age of 14.

What gets me is that, as far as I'm aware, he always showed up to film every day, he never let the rest of the cast or the crew down. He struggled so much in his personal life during Friends but he was always there making people laugh as Chandler Bing. the ultimate professional.

I love the scene at the end of an episode where she’s calling the falafel seller Ross. “He’s rude!!!”

I love when she goes “Emma… Ross wants you.”
“Phoebe”
“Why does she keep making that noise?”

 

[YetAnotherObsessionx]

That is the most frustrating episode ever.

Every time we watch The One After The Wedding, when Ross is somehow at the same airport gate trying to fly to Greece as Rachel is trying to fly to New York, my husband will always say 'as if that would ever happen, as if they'd let Rachel get on a flight to Greece with a ticket with Emily's name on it' and I just love his level of frustration/disbelief at that

I enjoyed the one where they end up eating cheesecake off the floor. Joey coming in with a fork from his jacket pocket XD

"I'm sorry Phoebe, but I think Jack Cousteau is dead"

“And no Rachel you were not meant to put beef in trifle it did not taste good”

Ross, will you tell him that's how tailors measure pants

Yes, yes it is.. IN PRISON!

 

[Aceofspades]

Well isn’t that just kick you in the crotch, spit on your neck fantastic

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

Just some friends talking about what they love about their other friend 🥲

 

[chickenlittle367]

“Sup with the wack PlayStation sup”

 

[LaBlonde]

The new year episode where he’s bouncing round asking for a kiss and the only one who kisses him is Joey Their bromance was the best

when joey moves out and they can’t say goodbye but he runs back in later and just silently hugs chandler from behind

their friendship is one of my favourite parts of the show. chandler was prepared to spend all of thanksgiving in a box so joey would talk to him again

 

[potatowaffler]

Just watched ‘the one where joey loses his insurance’, got to be one of my Faves

‘Heyyy Timmy, I’ve got a surprise for you’

‘Im here to audition for ‘man’’
‘Do you mean ‘dying man?’’
‘YES’

‘Is it okay with you if I scream until you say action?’
‘Uh, sure’
‘Aggghhhhhhhtake good care of your mama, son’

‘So when Rigby got his samples back from the laboratory he made a startling discovery! What he believed to be igneous was in fact sedimentary. Imagine his consternation when… Oh bloody ‘ell’

The friends creators have issued a statement now that his family have. I almost don't want the main cast to as makes it all so real but I suspect they'll do a joint one which will be heartbreaking

 

[themuffinwoman]

Decided to make myself a snack and put the first episode on… even though I’m sad it’s bringing me comfort.

One of my favourites is when chandler goes to Yemen.

"Well then, I guess I'm going to Yemen. When we get to Yemen, can I stay with you?"

 

[AladdinSane]

I thought I was going to hate rewatching it, but after a week, I went back to it. Its always been the show I turn to.
It's hard to watch but Matthew Perry is so so so talented. I'm appreciating him so much more now.
The only sad thing is knowing he was going through the height of his addictions during this.
Season three is hard to watch

 

[Ingognito.Queen]

I loved the episode with Brad Pitt when he was in Monica's for Thanksgiving dinner!!

 

[strawb]

Looks like today was his service.

His family and Friends cast were there.

imagine burying your son/friend and people are taking pictures of you, vultures

 

[DrLoomis]

I think my all-time favourite episode is The One With The Ball. The montage at the end of Chandler "The Dropper" is one of my favourite moments

 

[justonemorepage]

"say goodbye to sore muscles!"
"Goodbye muscles!"

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

My favourite is TOW Everybody Finds Out. The way he’s not afraid for everyone to know he loves Monica gets me every time
