@rancid-schnitzel yea I found Seinfeld hit and miss, never got into Curb your Enthusiasm.
Yeah I loved Seinfeld, but CYE never caught my attention.
My favourite comedy out of the US would probably be The League I reckon.
Oh yeah, I really like The League, wouldn't get close to my favourite US comedy though - that's Community.
Oh shit yeah I'll go first equal.

And to answer the actual Thread Topic...
No.
No, of course I didn't fucking watch it. Christ.
In order to watch it with any context, I'd need to go back and watch the original... and fuck that. I am perfectly content with my only knowledge of fucking Friends being absorption via pop culture references.
Also - I heard that it's terribly racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and all that other nasty stuff.
No.Worlds second biggest friends fan 👆

I just stumbled on some early eps of Its always sunny in Philadelphia and The IT Crowd, the former with way more series, either worth investing the time to watch.
Rob McElhenney is damn young in IASIP compared to Mythic Quest haha

The IT Crowd is great, I didn’t get into Always originally but am going to give it a second go at some stage as lots of fans of the above mentioned The League say the tone is often fairly similar.

@nepia I watched the 1st few of IASIP last night, some good shit along with stupid.
Is similar humour to mythic quest which is unsurprising.

From what I remember it was extremely low budget in that first season.

Yeah I tried watching a bit of this years ago with a rebound who loved it, but just didn't click for me.

Yeah - It's Always Sunny....
- started off super low-budget
- I can certainly see why some people wouldn't like it - but I generally really enjoyed it
- When they first got into the groove of just EVERYBODY being narcissistic selfish fluffybunnies, was some good times
- The more absurdist stuff was hit-and-miss
- Danny DeVito joining it was unexpected... apparently he watched a few, really enjoyed it, asked to do a cameo... and then suddenly became a permanent fixture? Or something like that? You gotta be pretty happy though, creating a shitty little comedy show, and suddenly getting DeVito as a full cast member.

@mn5 no I'm not, he's adorable. And i still would tbf...

Definitely feeling warm and fuzzy inside now, they really love eachother don't they. Just lovely.
Matthew Perry made me feel quite sad as he was easily my favourite character but I never realised how desperate he was for a laugh, he said he would get nervous and sweat with worry incase the audience wouldn't laugh.
Ross was definitely the leader of the pack and so naturally funny. Loved the whole Ross and Rachel crush thing too.
What a feel good show that was! -

I watched the first 10 minutes, but baulked when I saw it was for 2 hours. Went and watched netflix while missus continued watching it.
I did love it back in the 90s. Didn't see it through to its last seasons though. But, I also loved Seinfeld at the time. Also loved "Brit Comedy Tuesday" that one of the channels did in the 90s with men Behaving Badly as the highlight.
Definitely feel it is of my generation, I guess.
When I moved to London for my OE in 1999. Friends had just moved channels from free to air to a Sky channel, Pubs (with sky) would do a Friends night on Tuesdays or whenever it was. Can you image that. pubs doing a sitcom. That, is the sign of a cultural phenomenon.
