Have you ever watched the show Friends?

[godofwine]

I saw a clip that I posted below where Jemele Hill said she has never seen the show Friends.

Personally, I love the show. I love living single more, but I happen to pick up friends while it was on syndication and I love the show.

It didn't matter to me that friends might have had six black people on it the entire run. Hell, the same thing could have been said about game of thrones, and we watch that entire series.

Black people don't have to be represented on a show for us to enjoy it, unlike white people who, if they aren't represented they totally ignore the show or movie.

Now with Seinfeld, that show was utter fucking trash. I saw one episode while it was in syndication and filled a four block window (2 hours of the same show) and I laughed my butt off, with tears in my eyes.

The next three episodes I did not crack a smile. I don't know how a show could go from laughing my butt off one episode and not cracking a smile for the next three, but that's what happened.

I watched one more episode just to see if I was on some trash that day and I didn't smile at all.

Whenever I help someone move I always say "Pivot"

Have you ever watched the show Friends?

Syndication in the 2000s allowed me to watch a few shows.. just like Seinfeld I watched a few shows.. only saw 1 episode of the sopranos… I probably saw more syndicated episodes of my name is earl than friends and Seinfeld combined.. poor white tradh equals great comedy to me.. that’s why married with children is the goat white sitcom

al bundy was b4 it’s time .. bud bundy blowup dolls was the prediction of humans fucking real dolls.. Al bundy had the Jesus shoes and Nike made the toe sneakers in the 2000s.. no ma’am was incel light… 4 tds in one game was the prelude to you were the man in highschool what happened to you homie..bundy is the goat

Grew up on friends, was one of my mom's favorite shows when I was younger so didn't have an choice. One of the all time greats imo
Definitely quote the show consciously and subconsciously to this day, pivot is also a favorite, unagi, if anyone eats my shit from the fridge I'll do the red Ross "My sandwich" yell, how you doin? The lyrics to Roxanne will often be replaced by Ross can in my brain, smelly cat pops in my head more often than I'd like, Phoebe's other songs also live rent free in my head, and god-of-war doesn't share food lol he's her lobster, we were on a break, it's a moo point
Okay imma stop, I just realized 20% of my speech is friendisms lol

Also I can't stand Seinfeld, never gotten even a chuckle from it. I think it's because I don't like Jerry Seinfeld or his weird voice thing her does, just a dumb ass show. I do however love curb your enthusiasm.

Jemele is one of those shea butter twitter people who feel the need to overstate their blackness.

I was a little kid when the show ran, in High School when it ended, and it definitely had a following. I saw it much later when it started airing on Nick at night. Its a solid 90's show. Seinfeld definitely was better IMO.

Wifey use to watch and one day I caught a glimpse of Jennifer Aniston's hard ripples. Iwas a frequent watcher since.

True story.

If you watch shows like Friends and mainstream media on TV, you can see that type of culture pushing itself down into Youtube, Reddit, and Facebook. Many of the pro black frauds that I have exposed have this sickening fake aura to them. This is now trickling down into BGOL and other boards. You look at the post, nothing controversial, white women, sports, food, and happy times It tries to portray the U.S. as this happy go lucky place that puts people in bubble. Than I come along and disrupt all of this nonsense upsetting this false happy place. Even though I don't consider myself a citizen of the U.S. - just collecting on my disability that I paid into and bored waiting, I am retaliated against for my commentary.

401k are great investment vehicle for retirement
Cointelpro: Market wages have no kept up with inflation turning 401k into a self funded unemployment system. Wages have become suppressed by consolidation and non-unionization.

Marilyn Mosby should be pardoned by Biden, she committed a crime
Cointelpro: The IRS failed to direct a lay person to a certified tax advisor to complete this form. No information was provided via any of its videos. No preparer section indicating that a certified advisor should assist with completing this form with a taxpayer. Angela Rye is a possible jailhouse informant

The Key Bridge should be rebuilt immediately, the container ship was responsible
Cointelpro: The government should have moved the port terminal to Sparrows Point, however, it wanted to hide the decimation of the steel industry due to government inaction.

You should save up all your wealth to pay for your kids education depleting intergenerational wealth
Cointelpro: The default rates for black college students are extreme high, you should take out student loans and default if you experience unemployment. You should also use an IDR repayment plan.

Biden loan forgiveness is a great program, I can't wait until $50,000 loan balance is wiped out.
Cointelpro: Biden loan forgiveness is to coverup the surge of defaults that will happen when elderly student borrowers die with a balance.

I need a platform for people like me, some of my comments are upsetting and disrupt this bubble environment you live in like Friends.

The episode I watched was where Chandler was depressed about something and the girls cheered him up by my him to the strip club. It was pretty funny.

 

[blaze]

Watched the whole show beginning to end....while it was on TV the first time. Still a fan, but I look at it a little differently now as a black man.

 

[Flawless]

Was she in a coma during the 90's and didnt watch a single episode to see what the hype was about?

 

[clitsational]

i do not know of nor can i even imagine ANYONE giving a single fuck about what this idiot thinks about ANYTHING

​

 

[woodchuck]

I've seen about 10 minutes or so of an episode. I didn't get it, and I've never seen a minute of that show since, outside of commercials for it.

 

[godofwine]

There are some black people who avoid anything with overwhelming whiteness, especially if they consider it a knock off of something that is better but black.

The reason I started watching it was because of a nap.

I fell asleep watching TV and when I woke up, Friends happened to be on TV.

I watched an episode and laughed, then watched the next episode and laughed. That was good enough for me. I've seen the entire run multiple times

Was she in a coma during the 90's and didnt watch a single episode to see what the hype was about?

 

[Coldchi]

I've never watched one single episode.

 

[jack walsh13]

My ex loved it so that's how I've seen it. I think it's ass.

 

[ZuluSam]

No. No. And no.

 

[playahaitian]

I'm the biggest Jemele defender on here.

She lying her ass off.

Kaboom

It's like someone bragging on watching every episode of BMF as some validation of their blackness a few years from now.

Watching or not watching has no bearing on your blackness

It was one the biggest TV shows in history

You ain't like it love it or want it or need it

But you know the names

And the catchphrases

you watched it

But I can't front I saw it in syndication

Sidebar... I actually love the UK show it was BASED on more.

home girl is trying to hard, if u like friends fine, u can still keep your black card it's not that deep

I checked out some other boards besides BGOL, white women, sports, repeating talking points from MSM, food; trying to inculcate this false happy place, when there are serious problems.

I know with Reddit, if you go outside this dream world with reality, you are attacked. I always accepted that Fox, CNN, MSNBC would do this but to see it slowly taking place online is disturbing. I suspect people are losing jobs or opportunities if they conduct themselves in this way online. For me, I really don't care and can subsistence live, they would be worse off when I withhold from them critical information.
