Friends In 90 Seconds
I’m a massive fan of Friends… I felt I should get that out of the way first. Yes, I’m male, no I’m not gay, but yes I do love Friends. I’ve probably seen all 250 odd episodes at least 3 times each. The British Cable channel E4 basically show them on a loop from start to finish, 2 episodes a day, twice a day, I blame them entirely. So when I saw the following clip on the popular charts on You Tube, I didn’t know whether to be offended or to laugh. I watched it and laughed, so I’m sharing it with all of you.
I think Friends fans will appreciate it more than others but you’ll have only had to have watched a couple of episodes during the 10 year run that it had to know where the makers of this spoof are coming from. It just reminds me what a great, well-written sitcom it was, even though the plot was paper-thin. Who needs plot for a sitcom? Seinfeld proved that in abundance.
I just wish that some of the current crop of sitcoms would concentrate on getting as many laughs in to half hour as moving the plot along. Friends was cheesy but so what, it worked and I loved it while it lasted.
