F.R.I.E.N.D.S is a bit of fun (Joey and the Gellers are my favourite characters), but Cheers and Seinfeld are both way better imo.

My friend got tickets to be part of the audience whilst recording and episode of Birds of a Feather....I seriously struggled to raise a smile.

I have a very dry sense of humour. Maybe that's why.

In real life people people often tell me I'm hilarious and have no idea why. I don't intentionally go out to try and be funnu

Friends, although may have had a live audience, engineered the laughing. People sometimes laugh just if others are laughing even if it's not that funny.

I did find parts of Mrs Brown's boys funny.

First few episodes in particular

The humour in Schitts Creek is different to Friends, also it isn't filmed in front of an audience or have canned laughter

The episode where Monica and chandler get married is the prime example of this when Chandlers mum asks his dad about having too much penis to be wearing a dress like that. The audience went crazy and for about ten minutes. They had to shorten that.

I think you need to catch Livia up

…I think with Friends, a lot of it for me was that thing of seeing something of your own friends in the character traits…and even some of yourself…I mean, I’m that person that would take all of the freebies/those sampler things home from the hotel room in that episode…Im reformed now but when the boys were younger, they loved getting those if they were at home being looked after by grandparents and we’d been away for a little break…I took back whatever I could for them…I stripped those hotel rooms to the bone…

Ammi · 09-01-2025, 10:56 AM

..and I know so many Monica’s…I also know quite a few Rachel’s as well…

Same. Always dismissed it as corny American rubbish, but when i got with my first girlfriend, i was like 12, i would walk her home from school and go to hers for the evening. Her family watched Friends every Friday night, i think S6 had just started, anyway, i had no choice but watch, after 1 episode i was hooked. Borrowed my girlfriend's sister's VHS box sets and binge watched them to catch up. I feel like S4/5/6 was peak Friends.

Talking of worst sitcoms, The Big Bang Theory is the worst sitcom in the history for the world ever!

James · 09-01-2025, 11:28 AM

I started watching new episodes with S6. Before that I got into it because the repeats were on every day after another show I watched.

The Big Bang Theory is squarely aimed at the 12-16 age group tho

It's funny....when I watched it as a kid I thought Rachel was a fun person,then as I got older I actually preferred Monica. And just found Rachel annoying especially both her & Ross lol .

There's a few where they had to switch to laugh track,I think the las Vegas one was like that aswell . But I've noticed when I watch some old comedies , including British ones...the laughter sometimes drowns out actors lines which is annoying.

You can tell at times they try to wait for the audience to
stop laughing to deliver their next line,but other times
they just echo over it.

What’s y’all’s favourite episodes?

The one with the Jellyfish sprang to mind, also The One with the Routine, where Ross and Monica do their dance for that NYE's TV Show

GoldHeart · 09-01-2025, 01:51 PM

I have a few favourite episodes.

One of my favourite's is when Joey outsmarts Phoebe, with the whole " no selfless deed " situation. When he did that telethon,and Phoebe let a bee sting her

.
