This is for all you die-hard Friends nerds out there… if you didn’t watch Friends, you probably shouldn’t read this, because you will be lost in a minute.
I’ve met a handful of people who do it. Some people more than others, but it seems to be a thing with every 3rd person. Do you ever find yourself at work, at home, or talking to your friends and all of a sudden you remember a line or situation from Friends pop up in the conversation. The most common one, is probably Joey’s famous, “How you doin’?” whenever someone is trying to be coy or sexy.
It’s a little bit how I gauge my friends now and here are some of the ones I constantly come across in my life. If you have more, share them!
1. The One Where Rachel’s Dad Calls Vegetarians Lesbians
This is mostly when you come across conservative old people. Rachel and Phoebe and Rachel’s dad are having dinner and Phoebe tells him she’s a vegetarian and Rachel’s Dad asks if she’s a lesbian. Which, we all know, has nothing to do with the other. But when I meet a lesbian vegetarian, this comes to mind. And, funnily enough the last couple lesbians I have met, ARE vegetarian. Good ol’ Mr Green.
2. The One Where Rachel Doesn’t Go
Rachel’s mad at Ross and he wants her to go to his event, and she takes off her formal wear and puts on her pajamas, then says she isn’t going. Ross: What do you mean you aren’t gonna go?
Rachel: Well, I’m not gonna GO, that will take care of the ‘not going.’”
I use this constantly when someone asks me that same question. I’m a curmudgeon, and I don’t go. If you need further explanation, it’s in that sentence.
3. The One Where Monica Says It Loud
Monica is arguing with someone and they yell, “I heard that!” and Monica says, “Well I SAID IT LOUD.”
I don’t really hide a lot. I’m not a passive aggressive person, so when someone says, “I heard that.” It’s usually my response.
4. The One Where Ross Makes A Paste
Ross is on a date wearing leather pants, he mixes lotion and powder for some reason in the bathroom to remove the pants… and he is on the phone and says, “The lotion and the powder have made a paste….”
I say this when I am cooking and something goes wrong, or when my kids crafts go wrong somehow and well, they’ve made a paste.
5. The One With The TV Guide:
I don’t really have anything for this, but sometimes I yell, “CHANANDLER BONG” for no reason whatsoever. It just sounds great. It’s how Chandler’s TV Guides are addressed to him.
6. The One Where Chandler Is Dressed
Once I’m ready to go, I say, “My name is Chandler, could I BE more dressed?”
7. The One With The Mocolate
If I eat something gross and people ask me what I think, I say, “just waitin’ for it to stop bubbling…”
8. The One Where Ross Thinks Marcel is Dead
Whenever a kid’s pet dies, I think and sometimes say, “There’s a saying, sometimes, monkeys die. It’s not a very good saying, but it fits today.”
9. The One Where Pheobe Has Her Brother’s Babies
When I was a surrogate, I carried someone else’s embryo and the surreal event had me constantly thinking of Pheobe’s brother yelling, “My sister’s gonna have my babies!!” Fists in the air.
10. The One Where Pheobe Speaks The Truth
I am pretty frank with my children, and I don’t hide a lot. I always revert back to the kid who talks to Phoebe about her music “Are you the lady who speaks the truth?”
There are so many more, in fact the other day I was talking to a friend about seeing an old High School crush somewhere in public who hadn’t CHANGED at all. Like Chip from High School.
Monica: Remember how I wanted to date Chip in High School? Well, I just went on a date with Chip in High School.
