I don't recall everything about the episode, but that youtube clip of the french Joey episode is the kind of s*** you would see on one of the live action Disney Channel shows. Zoey 101 or whatever the f*** they show nowadays. Terrible.
From: KingBartz | #049 But seriously halo, how can you hate seinfeld? It's commonly regarded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, sitcoms ever.
This makes me sad. Seinfeld overall is just ugly to look at. But I realize that my opinion of this is in the very very minority. I accept that.
From: tereziWright | #048 I don't think you should show up around the comics topic anymore.
You are officially not welcome.
Okay. Then none of the comics topics will ever reach 500 again because you know I'm an integral part of it.
Ross is usually great. There are some times when he's terrible, but those moments aren't bad enough or frequent enough to detract from his overall awesomeness.
Can you please tell me what's so great about Ross? I'm drawing a blank.
This is correct. There's a difference between those who have good moments and bad moments vs someone that comes on the screen then leaves and leaves not much of an impression on the scene. That's what I've seen out of Ross, at least.

It isn't even "Friends humor" and I'm embarrassed and confused that they tried that s***.
There is not another example in any of the 10 seasons of such a poor attempt at humor. Not even close.

From: StifledSilence | #058 Also, I agree with Halo that Seinfeld sucks. Jerry Seinfeld is one of the most annoying people on earth and the show just isn't funny.
If you don't like Seinfeld I don't know how you can possibly like any other sitcom. I can understand not liking sitcoms AT ALL, but if you're into them and Seinfeld doesn't do it for you then I'm sorry but you're a total freak. That's just the way it is.
If you would like to see what's so great about Chandler and Joey, this YouTube user was kind enough to do a compilation of clips for the best of Chandler and Joey for each season! He's also started one with Ross, but he's only done season 1 so far.

Oh hey LtM is criticizing an opinion of someone else when he is known for having bad opinions.
There are plenty of sitcoms I enjoy with likable characters and talented actors/actresses that play them.
Seinfeld is a show in which Jerry Seinfeld circle jerks himself by inserting his own crappy standup routine at the end of each episode. Not to mention the main character is himself. It's like Everybody Loves Raymond only more obvious and unfunny.

Oh and another funny thing, LtM, is that I mostly always supported your opinions on video games and comics and such. Then the one time I have a terrible opinion you condemn me.

Thanks, man.
You've pretty much ignored everything I've every told you to read or look into over the last year!
How's that Blue Beetle going, huh?
Oh right, you dropped it a few issues in and made a big fuss about how it was terrible and how people who like it probably have bad taste.

Never did I say that. I said it wasn't for me. I have no problem with people enjoying it. I just don't like Blue Beetle, I don't know why, I just don't. He doesn't interest me. Never did I say that people have bad taste for liking him. In fact, people don't have bad taste for liking Seinfeld either. It's successful because there's a ton of people who love it, just as there's a ton of people who love Ratatouille, just as there's a ton of people who will love Brave. I'm not one of those people.
There's also a ton of people who like Dane Cook and other stupid "funny" people and actors and such. People have different opinions. This is breaking news.
The fact that you have made up your mind to dislike an UNRELEASED movie from a wildly successful and beloved company before anyone has seen it goes to show why you're argument hold so little weight!
If you would like to see what's so great about Chandler and Joey, this YouTube user was kind enough to do a compilation of clips for the best of Chandler and Joey for each season! He's also started one with Ross, but he's only done season 1 so far.
But first, I did a "Top Ten Duos" list and this was the number one spot:
One of my favorite interactions is when Joey is working for Chandler and he creates a "character" to play while working. He goes too far and pretends he has a wife/kids and makes plans with other couples and stuff. Chandler wants to fire him but he can't because Joey isn't actually in his department. Then he says:
Chandler: All right, so I can't fire Joseph. But, uh... I can sleep with his wife! Joey: Karen! Chandler: Yeah, Karen. I'm thinking about having an affair with her. Oh, you know what? I just did. Joey: Huh? What the hell are you doing to me, man? Chandler: Oh, well, it's not me, it's my character, "Chandy." Yeah, the rogue processor who seduces his co-worker's wives for sport and then laughs about it the next day at the water cooler! In fact, I have her panties right there in my drawer! Joey: Really? Chandler: No, Freakshow! She's fictional!
Joey: All right they got water, orange juice, and what looks like cider. [takes a glass from the fridge] Chandler: Taste it. Joey: [drinks from the glass and puts it back in the fridge] Yep, it's fat. I drank fat. Chandler: Yeah, I know, I did that two minutes ago.
[Chandler fights with Joey over a chair] Chandler: All right, fine, you know what? We'll both sit in the chair. [sits on Joey's lap] Chandler: I'm soooo comfortable. Joey: Me too. In fact, I think I might be a little too comfortable. Chandler: All right. [jumps up]
Joey: I can't believe Ross is going out with Rachel's sister. Ya know, when Chandler made out with my sister, I was mad at him for, like, ten years. Chandler: That was five years ago. Joey: I know. You got five more years. Chandler: Joey... Joey: You want to make it six?
Joey: Just because she went to Yale drama, she thinks she's like the greatest actress since, since, sliced bread! Chandler: Ah, Sliced Bread, a wonderful Lady MacBeth. Joey: God, I just, I hate her! I hate her! With her, "Oh, I'm so talented." and "Oh, I'm so pretty," and "Ooh, I smell so good." Chandler: I think somebody has a crush on somebody. Joey: Hey, Chandler, can we please stay focused on my problem here? Y'know? Chandler: I'm talking about you. You big, big freak.
[Joey has packed an emergency kit with food, Mad-Libs and condoms] Chandler: Condoms? Joey: We don't know how long we're gonna be stuck here. We might have to repopulate the world. Chandler: And condoms are the way to do that?
[Chandler and Joey emerge from the bathroom after hiding from a fight between Ross and Monica] Chandler: That was pretty intense, huh? Joey: Yeah. Hey, I hope Ross didn't think that we just went in there because we were uncomfortable being out here. Chandler: I hope he did. Chandler: I got her machine. Joey: Her answering machine? Chandler: No. Interestingly enough, her leaf blower picked up.

Joey: You think I need a new walk? Chandler: What? Joey: Well I've had the same walk since high school and you know how when a guy walks into a room and everybody takes notice. I think I need a 'take notice' walk. Chandler: Are you actually saying these words?
Chandler: I am an excellent secret keeper. I have kept all of out secrets. Joey: What secrets? Chandler: Oh no-no, Joey, I am not going to tell you because I am an excellent secret keeper. [the girls walk away] Joey: You'll tell me later? Chandler: You already know.
[Chandler fell asleep, during Joey's movie. The credits roll, and Chandler wakes up] Chandler: Great show. Good work, Joey. Joey: You liked it? Chandler: Liked it? I loved it. Joey: What did you like best about it? Chandler: I liked... everything the whole show. Joey: What about the specifics? Chandler: Specifics? Specifics were the best part. Joey: What about the scene with the kangaroo? Chandler: I... I was surprised to see a kangaroo in a World War I epic. Joey: You fell asleep. There was no kangaroo. They didn't take any of my suggestions.
Chandler: Look, when Monica comes in, mention fire trucks. Joey: Why? Chandler: There's this guy at her work that she says is the funniest guy she ever met. Joey: How could she do that? She know being funny is your thing. Chandler: I know. So could you mention fire trucks when she comes in. Joey: I don't know. I'm not too good at memorizing lines. Chandler: [sarcastically] It's a good thing you don't have to do that for a living. Joey: I know.
[Joey has to sleep with a woman to get a part] Joey: I just don't think that I want it that way though, you know? I mean, let's say I do make it, all right? I'm always gonna look back and wonder if it was because of my talent or because of... y'know, the Little General. Chandler: Didn't you use to call it the Little Major? Joey: Yeah, but after Denise DeMarco, I had to promote it.
[Joey and Chandler are trying to break into a closet] Joey: Do you have a bobby pin? Chandler: Wait. [runs hands through hair] Chandler: Oh, that's right. I'm NOT an eight year-old girl. Joey: Really? Then why do you throw like one?
Joey: Is Phoebe here with the cab yet? Chandler: Yeah, she brought the invisible cab. Jump in.
[Telling Rachel how to be sexy] Joey: There was this movie, "Footloose". Chandler: "Flashdance". Joey: Where this plumber chick... Chandler: She was a welder Joey: What, were you like *in* the movie?
Chandler: And this from the cry-for-help department: Are you wearing makeup? Joey: Yes, I am. As of today, I am officially Joey Tribbiani, actor slash model. Chandler: That's funny, 'cause I was thinking you look more like Joey Tribbiani, man slash woman.

From: tereziWright | #076 The fact that you have made up your mind to dislike an UNRELEASED movie from a wildly successful and beloved company before anyone has seen it goes to show why you're argument hold so little weight!
Not sure how I said it, but I meant that I probably won't like Brave. At the very least I'm not at all excited for it. I'll still watch it, especially since I can see it for free now (f*** yeah). Maybe I will actually like it, but it just doesn't look that great right now. I love Pixar, but I did not like Ratatouille. Brave seems like it'll be another movie I won't care much for, but I honestly don't know much about it.
The thing that gets me is that you have once been known for terrible opinions and I supported you regardless. Now I have one or two terrible opinions and you suddenly hate me? Okay. That's fair I guess.
If you would like to see what's so great about Chandler and Joey, this YouTube user was kind enough to do a compilation of clips for the best of Chandler and Joey for each season! He's also started one with Ross, but he's only done season 1 so far.
Was never a fan of the series myself but the pilot was on tv the other day and I gotta admit I never realized how hot Jennifer Aniston was when she was younger.
I can recognize that Seinfeld is good, but I didn't like the "average" episode all that much, either. At least at the time. But that's just me. The series finale is the world's biggest circlejerk, though.
If you ignore the last few seasons of Friends:
Chandler > Joey > Phoebe > Ross > Rachel > Monica
In fact, overall I still wouldn't change that ranking, but Joey, Phoebe, and Ross really got hackneyed by the end of it. So did Monica and Chandler too to a certain extent, but not enough to make me re-consider my opinion on them (but Monica started out last, anyways).
Rachel is kind of interesting because she's the only sitcom character I can think of that became less of a stereotype of herself and more of a realistic person as the show went on (or the opposite of Flanderization, to put it simply). Even what I consider "good" sitcoms don't pull that off, though they often have characters that retain the depth they started with. Of course, that alone doesn't make someone a good character, just as Flanderization doesn't necessarily make someone bad character. It's just odd that it happened that way.

This is correct. There's a difference between those who have good moments and bad moments vs someone that comes on the screen then leaves and leaves not much of an impression on the scene. That's what I've seen out of Ross, at least.
This is pretty much why Ross should be somewhere in the lower half. Perhaps tied for last with Rachel, which would make my ranking:
