The only reason I found him funny as a youngster was due to the fact he swore a lot, although there are definitely far better stand ups of course. It was just an example of him getting away with a lot more than you would now, without it being a big deal. There are too many sensitive people in this country these days.

There's generational things and then there's pure racism, Only Fools for example has the odd word or two that wouldn't make it in a show today but overall it's ok. Roy Chubby Brown is just pure ignorance and it's not the slip of one or two words, his entire act is ignorant and a lot more than borderline racist.

Inverted 1,776 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think it's weird because people criticise things like Chandler being uncomfortable with his transgender dad or Ross hating the male nanny, when the entire point of the show is that these are stupid insecurities and the plot is even about the characters dealing with them. If fictional characters were good people 100% of the time there would be no plot, they need to have flaws so that they have something to work with for an episode.

It's sadly been a problem from across the spectrum forever. Conservatives with things like Catcher in the Rye, or A Clockwork Orange, liberals with American Psycho - people can't accept that just because a character in a piece of fiction holds certain views, doesn't mean the author is pushing them. It's possible for your main character to hold views that are entirely against what the narrative is advocating. Edit: in fact I think trying to paint it as a youth snowflake issue is kinda unfair considering that censorship historically has been 90% advocated by conservatives and the elderly.

I think Lisa Kudrow and maybe Matthew Perry and Matt Leblanc are the only ones without any. David Schwimmer and Courtney Cox look weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly I think LeBlanc looks the most natural - just much fatter The 3 women got plastic surgery and botox very early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah between a couple of the seasons it was so obvious. Piled a lot of weight on then lost it because of the drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would’ve been perfect to have the cast interviewed by a supporting cast actor (say Tom Selleck, or whoever plays Gunter or Charlie or whoever was available) but instead you’ve got Corden and co. clinging on the coat-tails of the Friends legacy.

I still think his best contribution to the show was the "Hey buddy, this is a family establishment... let's keep the mouse in its house." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
