Always makes me think of "Fear and pain may accompany death, but it is desire that shepherds its certainty, as we shall see." that Doug Bradley recorded for a cameo in a Cradle of Filth song.
@@israymervalentin-arias6313 The Hellraiser concept, but more loosely played out in the movie, isn't actually about simply pain and torture. It's about sensation, sensation so extreme that it's really neither pain nor pleasure. The movies, as they progressed, became more and more focused on just the pain and suffering aspect. So really, it's good for people who are just looking for the next level in sensation. Someone who's done all the drugs they can do, screwed everything they can screw, and done all sorts of weird shit to their body, but at the end of it all still want something MORE.
Actually, the "Heaven Part" of the puzzle box *is* out there. This puzzle box is the Lament Configuration. You're looking for the Elysium Configuration (but that's in the 4th movie).
The cenobites are one of the most interesting "villains" in horror movie history. They aren't good or evil, they just fulfill a contract. Sadly, they turned Pinhead into a pun spewing idiot and completely removed everything that made him unique.
If you're hoping for more explanation and expansion of this universe, "Hellraiser II: Hellbound" is a really good sequel that opens this world up much more.
The original Clive Barker story was called “The Hellbound Heart,” but the producers decided they should give the movie a new title. Barker asked the cast and crew for ideas, and an older lady suggested “What a Woman Will Do for a Good F**k.”
@@MirrorDomains not the Cabal cut necessarily. The blu ray directors cut only added about 10 minutes and restored the original ending. I much prefer it.
The heaven they mention is actually pain because some people love S&M which is what basically the whole of the films in the Hellraiser series is about!!
@@leonefurlan137 Well, yes, that's what they say in the movie but is there really no "good" entity? There should be some kinda positive force in these movies but they don't show any. Even Pinhead is only as old as WW1 but that is something discussed in one of the later movies.
@@parker469a There is positive forces, but the box does not take you there or summon them. It was constructed solely for the purpose of opening a door to "hell" basically.
One interesting thing about the 'heaven' part is that when Kirsty toyed with the box it did genuinely give her what she wanted (aside from Chatterer's hand all up in her mouth, unfortunate side-effect). Though it seems bad that she summoned the cenobites, they were her way of stopping Frank. And when that was done, the box allowed her to banish them back to Hell, rather than forcing her to go with them. The sequels changed a lot about how it worked, but I think originally the box was meant to be like Silent Hill; as long as you aren't completely deranged, it poses no real danger.
Kirstie is one of my favorite of the 80s final girls, Ashley Laurence plays the innocent and tough sides very well. It's definitely worth checking out Hellraiser 2! I think it's a bit better than the first honestly
Andrew Robinson later went on to play Garak on Star Trek: Deep Space 9. "A simple tailor, nothing more"🤔 (and maybe also an exiled spymaster assassin - allegedly). Guy was awesome from start to finish, arguably the best character on the show. Even if the broader audience isn't familiar with him, he's a legend to DS9 fans.
Pinhead is the somewhat gory equivalent of Arnold Schwarzenegger - one liners straight from hell! "Pain has a face, allow me to show it to you." Love it.
The "heaven" part is the same thing as the "hell" part, it's a matter of perception. "Demons to some, angels to others." And the first movie covers the novella, The Hellbound Heart. The second movie uses characters from the book, but that's about it.
The Cenobite origin story comes in _'Hellraiser IV: Bloodline'_ Every movie after IV was, as Mr. Movies said, direct-to-video; they had other horror movies, but to save money they slapped a _"Hellraiser"_ title on it, threw in *Pinhead* & released it… One, and I do mean *_ONE_* movie in the franchise has a tenuous link to the first four, in that we see the brief return of the Kirsty character (it's _'Hellraiser VI: Hellseeker'_ btw)… Also, only the first 8 movies are considered part of the original canon, because Doug Bradley is *Pinhead* in all of them; _'Hellraiser: Revelations'_ (the 9th movie) and _'Hellraiser: Judgement'_ (the 10th movie) are *_not_* part of the original canon as both each have different actors playing *Pinhead.* There's a reboot _'Hellraiser'_ coming out next year, in 2022, with actress Jamie Clayton as *Pinhead!*
@@KandiStomper if you Google "Jamie Clayton as Pinhead" and look a img's, you'll get the low-down… If you look up info about Jamie herself, I think you'll understand why they chose her. 👍🏻
Definitely gotta watch part 2. It shows Pinhead’s origin, has much better practical effects and ties in directly with this one. I won’t say anything else but I think you’d like that one more
I love Clair Higgins who plays the stepmother. This movie scared me so much but I watched it when I was nine lol I think the real horror were the human choices and the monsters became iconic
Fun fact, Clive Barker didn't give him the Pinhead nickname, the fans did. And Clive Barker hates it. He didn't want the Cenobites to have names, he wanted them to be a hive mind. Finishing each others sentences etc.
"Where is the heaven part of this" "Demons to some, angels to others" Cenobites are a Neutral Force in the universe. Some people are very happy to be taken to their realm & may even become enforces of the realm like Pinhead. Some overestimate their fortitude and it turns out to be hell for them. It's what makes Cenobites interesting; they are a middle ground independent of Heaven / Hell God/Devil Dichotomy. At least until Clive Barker sought the quest for more money and decided to dumb down the lore. People who open the box are looking for the ultimate S&M experience. Some just ain't cut out for it like Frank, my man really went to pieces.
Absolutely right, cenobites are neither good or evil. Clive Barker didn't have anything to do with the later sequels past 4, no? I think he wrote the second one, which might be why it's the last decent Hellraiser movie. Part 3's still fun at least though.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to convey absolute indivisible pain and pleasure on screen to a viewer. You kinda already have to understand the context prior. And, ofc, the sequels just made Cenobite literal agents of Hell, instead of the neutral force
This is coming from someone who've only seen the first movie. I always thought it was something inside of the person. The whole trope of being pure allowed you to solve the box correctly to experience Heaven. And of course the opposite. Thank you for clearing that up. I like that the Cenobites are neutral. Only there to play their roll in the grand scheme. I should check out the rest of the movies sometime.
Lord of Illusion is another Barker written and directed project based off his novel "The Last Illusion". In the beginning this was a novel by Clive Barker titled Hellbound Heart but he makes it into a movie. This movie introduced a first-time actor and Clive's college friend Doug Bradley to portray the menacing Pinhead, Doug never had done any tv or film before this as he held the Pinhead role for 8 consecutive Hellraiser films. This is an international film as this was filmed in England and most cast and all crew are English.
The cenobites aren't summoning themselves and Pinhead did bargain with Kirsty. They're not unreasonable, people just wrongly assumed that their ideas of "pleasure" were the same across dimensions.
The Heaven part depends on you, it depends on your point of view. Hell can be Heaven for some people. By the way you should definitely watch part 2. It's one of those rare cases where the sequel is just as good or even better than the first part. And it continues the story with the same characters. Definitely react to part 2.
@callmecatalyst I like the first one better because it's about Julia and Frank which it's to me the most interesting part. But yes, the second part is awesome too.
@@el34glo59 that's because you're thinking in duality. Good and evil, pain and pleasure, Heaven and Hell. But the Cenobites are explorers from the further regions of experience, they offer an experience beyond the limits of the human experience, something fo far away from our capability of experience that oposites become one and indivisible, and something so extreme that the person is changed forever. None of us could even imagine such extreme.
Frank had gone as far as he could go by experiencing every pleasure imaginable on Earth which is why he sought out the box and as you see the lines between Pleasure and Pain are... Tricky. As for Julia and Frank? Julia met and was going to marry Larry however with Frank he Unleashed a level of passion that she didn't even realize she had and basically once that cat was out of the bag she was never able to be the same again with Larry. Tl/dr: Larry was the safe choice while Frank was the one who lit her fire. The first 4 are the only ones that made it to theater and part 4 actually gives a conclusive ending to the franchise so don't go past 4. Arguments can be made that you can just watch part 1 and part 2 since they are directly tied to one another but ultimately it's up to you period and Doug Bradley who plays the lead cenobite is a damn good actor
Apparently Hellraiser was supposed to be set in England, but at the last minute, the studio changed their mind, and Frank and the moving men had to be redubbed. That's why Julia and all the men she kills are all English. Larry, her husband, also played Garak on Deep Space Nine. The "heaven" part is the same as the "hell" part, it just depends on what you're into.
Drinking Alcohol has been medicinal for litterally thousands of years. It does in fact help with sickness,as it is a blood thinner,a natural disinfectant,and makes you sleep.
Hot toddy was a cure all for most cols and/or flu. Shot of rum or whiskey, sweetened with honey, added to hot water with a squeeze of lemon if your throat was acting up. Sounds weird, but it does the job of cough syrup and decongestants, with the benefits of helping you to drift off to sleep. Not a drink for partying. Most of my generation (40s) grew up with them if you were sick. Oh... and Vicks vapor rub. Pinhead is still my fave cenobyte. Have you guys checked out Clive Barker ' s Nightbreed? So much great stuff packed into that one movie.
The hobo dragon skeleton man at the end is called Eremites, another servants to Leviathan besides Cenobites. An Eremite's job is to take care and distribute the puzzle box all around the realm.
Her: i hate movies about hell and demons! Me- remembering the movies that are still coming! Me- in Pinhead's voice: "We Have Such Sight's to Show You!!!" 💀
The other Cenobites that come with Pinhead... The one that appeared first is *Chatter* The female Cenobite is *Voice box* The Fat one with Kewl looking round sun glasses is *Butterball*
The Female Cenobite is Female Cenobite. Chatter is The Chatterer or even just "Chattering" Cenobite. Hell, Pinhead is Lead Cenobite. They weren't even originally named save for credit listing purposes...
The "Heaven" part is the same as the Hell part. It's a matter of "perspective" and a sadomasochism thing, which Barker is apparently into. For some people, what the Cenobites offer is their idea of paradise. Also, cenobite is a real term for a member of a monastic community (I believe it derives from the same origin as the word convent). Barker refers to Pinhead as the Hell Priest, so the whole thing is a twisted religion.
Your reaction is brilliant, hellraiser is a classic. I watched this when I was 6, that's right 6! Been a major fan of thr first two films all these years, 32 years later. The theme for heaven an hell is all based on the S&M/bondage theme etc, the pleasure an pain aspect. Thanks for reviewing this movie, really enjoyed
I met the guy that played pinhead , he was so nice ! and when they wrapped on the film nobody was talking to him at the wrap party as he was in makeup before everyone and after every one else so no one actually saw him out of make up it took that long to put on the pin head coenobite prosthetics !
There wasn't a reference to heaven. The hell priest (pinhead) said they are "angels to some, Demons to others." That means it depends on your point of view of whether or not you enjoy pain. A person that enjoys pain would see the cenobites as angels.
Om my God! Yes yes and yes. More Hellraiser please and thank you. Great request. Gotta become a patreon. Me and Old Piny go way back.✌ Seriously though, Clive barker is a master of horror. Great reaction. The score was done by Chris Young, a bang for your buck Composer. Very talented.
Centipede lol. Clive Barker famously hated the Pinhead name. The chatterer was my favorite Cenobite too. Hellraiser 4 is my favorite, gives some background on Pinhead, and the space station looks awesome!
"You're so analytical! Sometimes you just have to let art... flow... over you." Nick (William Hurt) in "The Big Chill" Btw, Jesus' middle initial H. is his father's name like in the prayer, "Our father who art in Heaven, Howard be thy name".
I knew the Mrs. would have a pretty visceral reaction to this movie. It's definitely not for the squeamish. However, it's definitely one of the more memorable horror movies of the 80's and Pinhead is such an awesome character. Doug Bradley is such a cool guy to meet at a horror convention if you ever get the chance. Same with Ashley Laurence.
Centipedes, Cenophiles, you'll get it right, my favorite is the female Cenobite, she's just had a creepy sinister look, i didn't like the way she looked in the sequel though.
The original actress, Clive Barker's cousin, is apparently a drama teacher now. She legitimately HATES the film, and is ashamed of it. I don't know if she is overtly religious, though Clive said he had a devoutly religious side to his family, which sparked his interest in heaven and hell, pleasure and pain. It may have been a family favour, as many of the British cast were Clive's mates from his college/uni days...
The book Hellbound Heart better demonstrates the fine line between pleasure and pain that Frank is seeking. It's hard to visually demonstrate. The booknis super short, and the 2nd movie isn't based on anything. For me, the 2nd is the only good sequel. Expands the world and characters.
I like 2 as well, and the introduction of this cosmic being Leviathan. Personally I also like the 3rd movie (though I agree it couldv'e been made better), going into the creation of the puzzle box and the ending with the descendant creating a giant version to trap Pinhead. Anything beyond that is absolutely crap.
I always appreciate that this film, in comparison to a lot of other 80's horror films places a much heavier emphasis on the human characters and making them engaging, you aren't just bored waiting for Pinhead and his crew to show up. It's in that sense got a great old school gothic story aesthetic with the morally complex characters, there just also happens to be hell priests that rip people apart with chains. The sequel and the book does flesh out some of the details like the Cenobites and Frank's motive, but I feel this film does a fine job at giving just enough for it to be intriguing without being overly vague. Plus the Cenobites as these dark yet morally ambiguous forces of nature who still have clear rules for how they work I always really liked; if you run into them you're screwed, but you have to actively summon them in order to encounter them, as long as you don't do that you're safe, it's not like Freddy Krueger where the rules get pretty vague even by the ending of his first film.
😆 girly I almost peed my pants when you yelled pervert! OMG 😸 your handsome husband just looks at you with his eyes filled with love. You two are so cute and funny together.
The chains part of this movie was one of scariest part of any horror movie I seen through my childhood, and I am 80s kid.... I seen lots of them... And the line "we have such sites to show you" remain with me for a long time.
I had a chance to purchase one of these puzzle boxes at a horror show a few years back, but my wife would not let me even after I told her "It's just a puzzle box."
The real monsters are Frank and Julia. They murdered for their own benefit. The Cynobites are just demons serving Hell doing what they do with no real feelings one way or the other. The evil motives are what make the villains.
I love body horror! This was the first body horror movie I’ve ever seen, I was grossed out at first, but then I loved it! The effects were so amazing at the time!
The boxes aren't necessarily a puzzle to solve, but rather a door to open, with combination lock attached to it..... The Lament Configuration I believe 21 sequences or as 📍 pinhead puts it pathways, to unlock.

@@LongandWeirdName Same.
The "heaven" aspect depends on who opens the box. Pinhead said it himself:
"Angels to some. Demons to others."
So people who love pain and eternal torture find it as heaven and everyone else they are demons stuck in hell??
@@israymervalentin-arias6313 Something like that. I am guessing that the "angel" people are in the extreme minority, though...
It's about pain and pleasure being indistinguishable.
Another interpatation I saw was they are "angels to some" by taking evil out of our world. Like good, take this evil out of our world.
@@israymervalentin-arias6313 The Hellraiser concept, but more loosely played out in the movie, isn't actually about simply pain and torture.

Apparently Hellraiser was supposed to be set in England, but at the last minute, the studio changed their mind, and Frank and the moving men had to be redubbed. That's why Julia and all the men she kills are all English.
Larry, her husband, also played Garak on Deep Space Nine.
The "heaven" part is the same as the "hell" part, it just depends on what you're into.
"Who drinks brandy when they are sick?" "Should we start doing that?
Yes, because she seems like a good role model to learn new habits from. ;)
Drinking Alcohol has been medicinal for litterally thousands of years. It does in fact help with sickness,as it is a blood thinner,a natural disinfectant,and makes you sleep.
Hot toddy was a cure all for most cols and/or flu. Shot of rum or whiskey, sweetened with honey, added to hot water with a squeeze of lemon if your throat was acting up. Sounds weird, but it does the job of cough syrup and decongestants, with the benefits of helping you to drift off to sleep. Not a drink for partying. Most of my generation (40s) grew up with them if you were sick. Oh... and Vicks vapor rub.
Pinhead is still my fave cenobyte.
Have you guys checked out Clive Barker ' s Nightbreed? So much great stuff packed into that one movie.
@@AndieO I've actually had that before when I had a sore throat back when I was a kid.
"When he's not collecting faces for the devil..." sounds like an amazing tag line for a movie 😂
Hellraiser 2 is better, but being that she doesn't like hell related stuff, she won't like Hellbound.
hellraiser 2 has a scene that icks even me a gore hound out the matress scene
@callmecatalyst oh yes..its a LOT.ii love horror and gore but its just a LOT. fun fact the man was played by skinless frank in the first movie ;)
ESPECIALLY if you watch the unrated version. Yeah... that mattress scene is a bit brutal!
"I like a girl in sweatpants"
"That's right"
🤣🤣
"I like a girl in sweatpants" This guy knows what's up.
Know how you can tell this is an authentic first time viewing? She called them centipedes 😂
The hobo dragon skeleton man at the end is called Eremites, another servants to Leviathan besides Cenobites. An Eremite's job is to take care and distribute the puzzle box all around the realm.
Her: i hate movies about hell and demons!
Me- remembering the movies that are still coming!
Me- in Pinhead's voice: "We Have Such Sight's to Show You!!!" 💀
The other Cenobites that come with Pinhead...
The one that appeared first is *Chatter*
The female Cenobite is *Voice box*
The Fat one with Kewl looking round sun glasses is *Butterball*
The Female Cenobite is Female Cenobite. Chatter is The Chatterer or even just "Chattering" Cenobite. Hell, Pinhead is Lead Cenobite. They weren't even originally named save for credit listing purposes...
I saw this film as a kid and afterwards I threw my Rubik's Cube away.
The "Heaven" part is the same as the Hell part. It's a matter of "perspective" and a sadomasochism thing, which Barker is apparently into. For some people, what the Cenobites offer is their idea of paradise. Also, cenobite is a real term for a member of a monastic community (I believe it derives from the same origin as the word convent). Barker refers to Pinhead as the Hell Priest, so the whole thing is a twisted religion.
Your reaction is brilliant, hellraiser is a classic. I watched this when I was 6, that's right 6! Been a major fan of thr first two films all these years, 32 years later.
The theme for heaven an hell is all based on the S&M/bondage theme etc, the pleasure an pain aspect.
Thanks for reviewing this movie, really enjoyed
The theme for hell *,heaven in this universe is still the biblical kind.
😂 i started yelling "pivot" at the exact same time.
I met the guy that played pinhead , he was so nice ! and when they wrapped on the film nobody was talking to him at the wrap party as he was in makeup before everyone and after every one else so no one actually saw him out of make up it took that long to put on the pin head coenobite prosthetics !
You, Me & The Movies has such sights to show you!
There wasn't a reference to heaven. The hell priest (pinhead) said they are "angels to some, Demons to others." That means it depends on your point of view of whether or not you enjoy pain. A person that enjoys pain would see the cenobites as angels.
Om my God! Yes yes and yes. More Hellraiser please and thank you. Great request. Gotta become a patreon. Me and Old Piny go way back.✌
Seriously though, Clive barker is a master of horror. Great reaction. The score was done by Chris Young, a bang for your buck Composer. Very talented.
Her screaming pivot during hellraiser is amazing!!!
Pivot Kirsty … PIVOT!!!
Centipede lol. Clive Barker famously hated the Pinhead name. The chatterer was my favorite Cenobite too. Hellraiser 4 is my favorite, gives some background on Pinhead, and the space station looks awesome!
I have the Chatterer Funko
"You're so analytical! Sometimes you just have to let art... flow... over you." Nick (William Hurt) in "The Big Chill"
Btw, Jesus' middle initial H. is his father's name like in the prayer, "Our father who art in Heaven, Howard be thy name".
My grandma would always have a brandy or a whiskey when she was ill, “medicinal purposes” was her reasoning, helped cut through the sickness, lol.
A lot of cough syrup use to have alcohol, so it makes sense it would help.
this is some funky sheet right here ''HELLRAISER'' is a mad thing big up to my dude pinhead we hitting 30k tonight @Mr & MrsMovie ...lets go !!
I knew the Mrs. would have a pretty visceral reaction to this movie. It's definitely not for the squeamish. However, it's definitely one of the more memorable horror movies of the 80's and Pinhead is such an awesome character. Doug Bradley is such a cool guy to meet at a horror convention if you ever get the chance. Same with Ashley Laurence.
Centipedes, Cenophiles, you'll get it right, my favorite is the female Cenobite, she's just had a creepy sinister look, i didn't like the way she looked in the sequel though.
The original actress, Clive Barker's cousin, is apparently a drama teacher now. She legitimately HATES the film, and is ashamed of it. I don't know if she is overtly religious, though Clive said he had a devoutly religious side to his family, which sparked his interest in heaven and hell, pleasure and pain. It may have been a family favour, as many of the British cast were Clive's mates from his college/uni days...
When she said needleface she's thinking of stan helsing.
Appreciate the hail Mary's after hereditary even tho I'm not really religious just more comfortable afterwards and great channel.
I'm Italian.. I watch your video reaction, I wanted to thank you for these beautiful reactions...always keep it up!!!
Thank you so much for watching them! Love having you here hanging out with us!
That hobo at the 15 minute mark looks like Happy Gilmores Caddy.
The book Hellbound Heart better demonstrates the fine line between pleasure and pain that Frank is seeking. It's hard to visually demonstrate. The booknis super short, and the 2nd movie isn't based on anything. For me, the 2nd is the only good sequel. Expands the world and characters.
Yeah the book is great
the book is so insanely entertaining! huge fun
I like 2 as well, and the introduction of this cosmic being Leviathan. Personally I also like the 3rd movie (though I agree it couldv'e been made better), going into the creation of the puzzle box and the ending with the descendant creating a giant version to trap Pinhead. Anything beyond that is absolutely crap.
@@xen0bia the descendent one is the 4th one in space.. the 3rd had jadzia dax in
Yeah the 1st and 2nd Hellraiser are the only good ones, the rest are trash
Larry was played by Andrew Robinson who played the villain in the original Dirty Harry
Perhaps that was heaven she opened it to.
The paradise is carnal pleasure; that's it.Hell is everything else.
I always appreciate that this film, in comparison to a lot of other 80's horror films places a much heavier emphasis on the human characters and making them engaging, you aren't just bored waiting for Pinhead and his crew to show up. It's in that sense got a great old school gothic story aesthetic with the morally complex characters, there just also happens to be hell priests that rip people apart with chains.
The sequel and the book does flesh out some of the details like the Cenobites and Frank's motive, but I feel this film does a fine job at giving just enough for it to be intriguing without being overly vague. Plus the Cenobites as these dark yet morally ambiguous forces of nature who still have clear rules for how they work I always really liked; if you run into them you're screwed, but you have to actively summon them in order to encounter them, as long as you don't do that you're safe, it's not like Freddy Krueger where the rules get pretty vague even by the ending of his first film.
😆 girly I almost peed my pants when you yelled pervert! OMG 😸 your handsome husband just looks at you with his eyes filled with love. You two are so cute and funny together.
"I do love a Jigsaw."
Did you guys see Saw?
5:44 - Exactly what I was thinking. 😂
This movie was filmed in England but they wanted it to be in America. That's why you have British people with badly dubbed American accents 😆
Such a beautiful and wholesome love story.
« Oh no, the centipedes are back » 😂
The chains part of this movie was one of scariest part of any horror movie I seen through my childhood, and I am 80s kid.... I seen lots of them...
And the line "we have such sites to show you" remain with me for a long time.
Sights. He's not showing you his internet history. Though that would be interesting...
I definitely got the "Ross" reference 🤣
It’s based on a horror story and filmed in the uk but dubbed to sound American lol
“The Exorcist is nothing but a glorified cartoon” - Doug Bradley 🤘🔥
Just a guy who knew where his bread was buttered.
I had a chance to purchase one of these puzzle boxes at a horror show a few years back, but my wife would not let me even after I told her "It's just a puzzle box."
The real monsters are Frank and Julia. They murdered for their own benefit. The Cynobites are just demons serving Hell doing what they do with no real feelings one way or the other. The evil motives are what make the villains.
"That needleface guy" So close!
Oh wow you're watching Hellraiser? This is gonna be good
She didn't like it!
"PIVOT!!!! PIVOT!!!! PIVOT!!!! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UUUUPPPP" "FRIENDS" 🤣🤣
I love body horror! This was the first body horror movie I’ve ever seen, I was grossed out at first, but then I loved it! The effects were so amazing at the time!
Needle Face and the Centipedes? It's quite a good name for a band.

Ponchi Monchi where doe's that username come from?
Love your comment ❤
The "Eww Eww Eww Eww" during the finger part had me rollin!!!
The boxes aren't necessarily a puzzle to solve, but rather a door to open, with combination lock attached to it..... The Lament Configuration I believe 21 sequences or as 📍 pinhead puts it pathways, to unlock.
Favorite Cenobite is probably Deep Throat/the one played by the female actress they're just mesmerizing
I believe demon guy became to be known colliqually on the streets as "Pin Head". Nice "Friends" reference! Made me laugh! 😆❤️
