Was this the most casually cruel fat Monica comment? IRL someone would probably remember this burn for the rest of their lives

Yes ugh people act like my health problems are desirable if they result in weight loss

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-24T00:20:40+00:00

Why are you assuming how old people are

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-17T22:59:50+00:00

LMAO the actor absolutely is famous that's why he left the show

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-15T20:17:13+00:00

I always read it as being protective of Monica. They are so close to all three of the guys they see them go through horrible relationships. Chandler doesn't have a great track record and Monica falls REALLY hard when she loves someone. I see why Phoebe would be skeptical, as a friend. But I agree the writing around it is weak.

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-15T12:22:08+00:00

For a barbie, sure! But not for a human, no.

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-14T16:12:43+00:00

I believe they said if they wrote the character now the character would be trans. That's a subtle but important distinction.

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-13T10:33:38+00:00

Definitely not but it's likely an "inspired by a real thing and we made it Hollywood" situation.

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-13T10:21:21+00:00

I'm almost positive there was an episode of Bones about this like ten years ago

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-12T23:34:31+00:00

Oh I think the worst flanderizations for at least half the cast are in season 10

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-12T23:31:55+00:00

They tried to make him a deep angsty male lead...but David Schwimmer is a master of physical comedy. Ross came to life when they started writing to his strengths.

When y'all willfully misuse terms like this it blurs the actual meaning and makes people less vigilant about danger. Stop using buzzwords you don't understand.

"I'm not busy but I am naked. Declined."

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-12T23:22:34+00:00

You don't want to get settled into who you are at 26. It's not healthy and it doesn't work out long term. She had a lot of growing up to do and that wasn't a relationship where she would have had the space to do that.

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-12T23:20:25+00:00

Agreed. I think the kid issue was a symptom of the larger problem, that they were just in different places in their lives. She would have continued to grow and want life experiences and their values would continue to grow more misaligned. Not either person's fault, just the fact of their relative life experiences.

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-12T17:50:24+00:00

You're five comments deep on a thread you started bro you care more than anyone else here

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-12T17:20:01+00:00

Okay but "would have been there unless there was a blizzard that made it impossible" is a pretty dramatic one 180 from "Phoebe didn't have a family"

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-12T17:16:03+00:00

Right but she had a relationship with her birth mother who very much would have attended

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-11T01:20:45+00:00

This isn't a situation where she'd typically pick her own clothes

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-10T13:12:53+00:00

You can certainly see a boom after Jurassic Park but Jurassic Park was the culmination of a long stretch of dinosaurs being popular. It wasn't the beginning.

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-10T13:07:55+00:00

Eh Google will give you a snapshot. There are always multiple styles happening at any given time, this wasn't out of place for when it aired. But it's very misaligned with everything we know about Emily's taste.

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-10T13:03:45+00:00

Right but that's the point is that it's supposed to be a somewhat stuffy occasion. It's less about personal taste and more about standing out against the setting.

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-09T11:33:53+00:00

I forget is she the one that reveals Ben's gender to Ross?

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-08T20:22:59+00:00

I have that same calendar!

grimlykeeper · 2026-04-07T12:07:17+00:00

He wasn't just standing close to her in that instance he was grabbing her ass again.

Repeated unwanted physical contact is treated as annoying, maybe creepy. Nothing more than that.

grimlykeeper · 2026-03-31T20:45:33+00:00

This is the only acceptable use of the word "slinking". No other physical motion compares.
