I feel like this sort of thing happens every year you know. For some reason, there is a collective movement that rises up and makes their voices heard to the rest of the world. They tirelessly share their opinions through any outlet available to them, and make the post of their positions in the professional world to try and convert as many as possible. Like pests, they do this for a few weeks before retreating to their hole, readying themselves for the next year's debacle.
I am of course talking about people that despise Friends and believe to be unfunny and complete garbage. This is usually started by some journalist or blogger (lmao who even blogs any more am I right???) who is looking to make a splash. And when that article gains any sort of traction, they all come out of the woods and try to stand out in this world. "I'm not like other people. Ha! I'm different and therefore better than you".
I know that this isn't what most people actually say, but it is essentially what they're saying. We get it. Friends was and is a very popular sitcom and widely regarded as one of the funniest shows ever. But. because not liking popular and mainstream things is somehow a personality trait, we have the issue at hand.
I understand if you don't think Friends was the funniest show ever. Comedy does not have a singular approach, and different people have different things funny. No complaints from me there. But you really can't go ahead and make the claim that it was one of the worst shows ever. The jokes were both funny and memorable. If you were looking for a life lesson or a social justice campaign inside the show then you are in fact an absolute fool. Friends was and is a sitcom meant for easygoing enjoyment. The characters have flaws and they aren't meant to solve them or learn from their goofy adventures: because that is how life works.
As far as the jokes and bits on the show go, they were funny! I don't know how you can make the argument that they never were. Obviously comedy is subjective to a person's own personal experience and humor, but to simply declare 10 seasons of a show as not funny? You are in fact wrong.
