    "Oh ma gawd, he's jealous and is an a-hole"
    The guy gets cheated on, his marriage fails, the wife is pregnant and the partner is not even mentioning his name to his unborn child. So yeah he's got all the reason to get jealous over it.

      Oh my god the “bobo the spermguy” line was clearly a joke. She was being sarcastic. And keep in mind it was Carol that cheated, BECAUSE SHES GAY and there was literally nothing Ross could do to change that. Should she have cheated? No. But this is a TV show! Drama!

      Plus it wasn't the problem anyways. It's her misinterpretation and blatant hate towards ross. She just saw him and calling him a-hole and jealous without even knowing the proper reasons. The guy above you actually made thay clear, she doesn't understand shit and she doesn't even think straight 🤷‍♂️.

    6:45 Well he was cheated on so I think being a little insecure with the person that your wife (of 7/8 years) cheated with, and treats him like he is the problem (not even saying his name to HIS child), not to mention they got everything (apartment, furniture, etc), is more than justifyable
    BTW Ross isn't near my favourite character (I do love David as an actor, he has the best comidic timing) but objectibly he is doing nothing wrong at this point of the story

    Again.... You confuse me so much. Did I hear you right, or did I miss something? You asked "is he ACTUALLY gonna have a relationship with the kid? Probably not!" I'm sorry what? It's HIS child 😨 HIS son or daughter. Why on earth would anyone think Ross, the father, would not want to be part of his child's life?
    And not to be too negative again, but uhm.... Carol CHEATED on her husband with Susan. And forgot to tell her husband that she was into girls also, so Ross being "jealous" is fair! It hasn't been that long and also Susan is already claiming that this child is hers therefore it should have HER name instead of Ross's, so yeah... Ross is doing nothing wrong here. If anyone was an a**hole it was Carol for cheating.

    Okey, I have to say something here. Obviously you are allowed to feel whatever way you want about these characters. If you don't like Ross, then fine you don't like Ross. If I was to make a list and rank these characters, Monica would be on the bottom for me, like we all have different opinions and Monica delivers the least amount of laughs for me. All fair. However, it seems you are being way hars with your choice of words to describe, in this care, Ross. How on earth is he an arsehole when Carol was the one that cheated on him? Carol was the one that demanded that this child should not have his name, but have Susan's name instead! The woman with whom she cheated Ross with! I mean did you seriously miss that part of this story, that Susan was the other woman in this scenario? Ross was cheated on and then dumped by his wife. Your hatred seems to be directed into the wrong character here. Ross did nothing wrong. He is trying to be part of this pregnancy and his baby's life and the OTHER WOMAN disrespects him by saying that he is not the father, but instead just the spermguy. That is so rude!

      First of all, chill.
      Second, Susan was clearly being sarcastic with the “bobo the spermguy” joke. She had been making jokes that entire interaction.
      Also it’s important to remember we never see what Ross and Carol’s marriage was like. Not saying Ross was awful or deserved to be left, but 1/2 a story is 1/2 a story.
      Also being left because someone realized they are attracted to the opposite gender and fell in love with someone else is so not the same thing as a typical affair. Carol was literally incapable of being in love with Ross. She should have just left him once she realized, but obvs this is a show and where is the drama in that?

    The old name fell into disuse because Veneral means "of women", as if men contracted it from women and not the other way around.
    New terminology is gender neutral and scientifically more accurate as it refers to the act and not the people =)

    The first few episodes and even the first season is mainly to present the main 6 characters and find out where each stands. Joe struggling to get a regular job as an actor with very little success, Chandler who seems to be well-off, Ross and his intricate situation with a lesbian wife pregnant with his child, Rachel, the runaway bride trying to become "independent" from her parents, Monica the cook, then Phoebe the funny girl with a bizarre past. Be patient, the fun is still to come.

I've watched every reactor react to this show and you seem to be so negative about Ross when he is being the good guy in this situation. You may just hate Ross and that is fine, but seems like people told you Ross is such a bad character in this show and is toxic so you just say he is toxic and hate him when he does anything in this show.

    I think it’s important to set the record straight here, once and for all about what all of these people are trying to convey to IcedQuokka:
    The bottom line is, yes, this is nothing more than a tv show with fictional, but beloved characters that have flaws that are flaws solely written intentionally for the purposes of comedic relief for entertainment value.
    It’s more about how these human relationships are being perceived that is the cause for concern. One gender is not guilty by association. All deserve a fair trial, and are found to be innocent until proven guilty. Not guilty until proven innocent.
    We must, as a civilized society find the greater weight of credible evidence to be supported, before a prosecution is made.
    I think the people have spoken, and all they really want from you, is a little faith.

    I don't understand why this comment section is filled with Ross defenders. Maybe because David Schwimmer is hilarious in this show. His physical comedy is on point. Ross is funny, but if you look at his actions, he's not always the "good guy" people make him out to be. He is very self-involved ("Hi."-"That guy says Hi and I want to kill myself", he has a bad day-everybody else has to have a bad day) Now, I like him, bc he's funny, but god I wouldn't want to be friends with him. I guess,people have a lot of nostalgia for this character and David Schwimmer is a great, sympathetic actor, but that doesn't make your criticism any less valid.

      I feel people defend him because he has done nothing wrong at this point. He isn't close to being my favourite character but I'll defend him if he is being hated for literally nothing.
      And, I don't mean to sound harsh (don't know how I come off in text) but your example isn't a good one. First of, he had more than just a "bad day", his love of 7/8 years left him after cheating on him, and finding out she is a lesbian, that's really hard. And he isn't looking for others to have a bad day with him (you are taking Joey's joke too seriously), he lets his sister, who could have more responsability over him than his friends (not responsability but I don't know how to put it), go to her date despite being so depressed
      I won't defend him farther down the series but right now it makes no sense to hate him, maybe don't vibe as much as with the rest, but hate him for every sentence is too much

Some people just do not vibe with the way Ross acts, the way he says things etc. He can come across very whiny and it isn't shocking people don't like that personality trait. He also diplays "Nice Guy" features. I just don't understand why people are so confused on why she isn't really liking him, it's pretty clear to see why. I didn't like a lot of what Ross said and what he was about but I found him hilarious 10+ years ago and when I rewatched in 2021. That never changes. The other thing that doesn't change for me is how irritating he can be. I don't have a favorite friend. I think they're all flawed, funny, obnoxious etc.

    I don’t know if it’s just like a thing you do with men, due to your own issues, but people are going to take issue and likely offense with you calling Ross and Chandler “assholes” all the time.

    Like other commenters have said, I think you're being very unfair to Ross. Carol literally cheated on him and then she and the woman she cheated with undermined his role in HIS child's life. The "Bobo the sperm guy" comment was a joke but it was still disrespectful, and again undermining his role as the father. Also, why wouldn't he be a part of the child's life? He's not some deadbeat father who left Carol all alone. If Susan was a man, no one would expect Ross to just be okay with all of this. The writers just focused so much on the lesbian thing because of the time and it made for good laughs. (Speaking of, at that time bisexuality wasn't really talked about that much but Carol may have very well been bi. However, lots of gays and lesbians were in relationships/married to the opposite sex before they came out and loved their partner on some level, even if they weren't 'attracted' to them in that way). Anyway, Susan still wasn't as mean in this episode. The situation is unconvential and awkward but that last moment was so cute. As the pregnant person, I'm sure the talking to your belly gets annoying after some time but I think it's sweet when parents want their baby to know their voice. Also, I don't know if you noticed but this is a different actress for Carol to the one in E2, which was Anita Barone. She was looking for a role as a series regular and was later cast as Karen Foxworthy in The Jeff Foxworthy Show. From here on out Carol is played by Jane Sibbett.
    Both of these episodes are two of my favourite episodes in the entire series. I'm with you about Monica in E9. She's literally the mum of the group and bears ALL the responsibilty. And about the keys thing, Monica clearly said "Got the keYs?" in a questioning manner, so I'm with her on that one. The other friends pissed me off a bit (especially Rachel) but Chandler had some hilarious remarks and the ending was so sweet.
    Growing up in Iceland we didn't really celebrate Thanksgiving and it isn't a National Holiday. But for a few years I did go to a potluck at my church, where everyone brought a side dish, dessert or drinks (we usually brought sweet potatoes) and the church provided the turkey. There was also a tradition where we wrote on a piece of paper what we were thankful for. It hasn't been held since before Covid and I honestly don't know why. It was very chill and cozy.
    I LOVE Janice. She was like supposed to be this character everyone hated but she's so funny and likeable. Also you kind of feel sorry for her. I love Chandler but he doesn't treat Janice very well and he never appreciates her while he has her. I think he loves her on some level but is not IN love with her. It's this kind of familiarity thing. Fun fact: Maggie Wheeler (Janice) accidentally let out that iconic laugh, mainly due to Matthew Perry and his comedic skills, which was added to the character.
    David Schwimmer actually hated working with the monkey (who was played by two different monkeys), but mainly because of how much the animal trainers dictated their time on set and wouldn't let him bond with them. David came under fire for those comments, specifically from Mike Morris, the animal trainer who worked on Friends, who called the actor "despicable" and claimed he was "jealous" of them.
    Fun facts: E9 is called a "bottle episode" where the crew has a limited budget. This is why most of it takes place in Monica and Rachel's apartment and is also why it consists of mostly the main cast.
    David the scientist guy is played by Hank Azaria who voiced several characters on The Simpsons and been in lots of movies. He has suffered from alcoholism and credits Matthew Perry, his longtime friend, for helping him get sober. I love David and he and Phoebe are so cute together! But it always bothered me how they said Minsk is in Russia, when it is, in fact, in Belarus, which has been independent from the Soviet Union since 1991 (three years prior to this episode), which is when Minsk was declared the capital. Lisa Kudrow comes from Belarusian descent (along with German, Polish and Hungarian).
    Shiny Happy People by R.E.M. which is played in the beginning of the New Year's Eve party scene was the original theme song from the pilot before it was later replaced by I'll Be There For You by The Rembrandts. The show was also called "Friends Like Us" and the coffee house was called "Espresso" then. You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/t7udpZG1Nu4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ynmLT9H6sagI365y. It's not bad but it just doesn't fit imo.
    And the song that plays when Joey's poster is seen all over is Don't Stand So Close To Me by The Police. The band's drummer is Stewart Copeland, whose uncle Hunter Copeland was married to Courteney Cox's (Monica) mum at the time of his death in 2005.

      You know so many interesting facts!
      I thought I was a FAN and i’m an American.
      I think it’s sweet that someone who lives in Iceland wants to, and has gotten to celebrate Thanksgiving.
      Side note: Have you ever met Bjork? lol
      Anyway,
      I was trying to think of actual “toxic” characters on this show, because I love most of them.. I’d say Chandler’s boss comes to mind. (That’s all I will say to avoid spoilers) But yeah, he was the true definition of the word. BING! You know who i’m talking about.
      Speaking of “Bottle Episodes":
      I LOVE The One Where No One Is Ready. It’s like watching a live play.
      I think it’s good that they replaced Anita Barone. She was pretty forgettable as Carol. I much prefer Jane Sibbett.
      EDIT: I just thought of something. For those that don’t know, The song Ross was singing to his baby was to the tune of the theme from the show/band, The Monkees. It only just occurred to me that it makes total sense he would choose that, given the pet he has chosen as his companion.
      Honestly, my honest personal opinion is that when it comes to the Susan, Carol and Ross dynamic, I love them all, and I understand where each of them is coming from. I think for the most part, they are all behaving in a realistic way. It’s a complicated situation for anyone to be in, and not to mention, there is a baby involved. I will say that I think it’s a bit problematic for Susan to try to prioritize her role over Ross’s considering it is THEIR child and she IS the other woman, who technically contributed to breaking up their marriage. She’s a bit of a homewrecker, lol.
      But other than that, I think Susan and Ross love each other, whether they will ever admit it, or not.

    Ross IS super competitive with Susan, and at first I get it, she was the “other woman,” but at the end of the day Carol was incapable of loving Ross. She’s gay. Carol should have left Ross and not cheated once she realized, but I really don’t blame Susan for Carol’s choices. After a while it comes across as really weird just how much Ross hates Susan. It’s creepy and excessive.
    From a modern lens, he comes the closest to being an incel.

    I think youre being too harsh on Ross, especially when it comes to Carol and Susan.

To top it off, they don't give him any respect when it comes to the baby. Not even considering including his last name, calling him "bobo the sperm guy" when talking to the baby, etc.

      I don't think most of you women using this word so casually, know what “toxic” even really is.
      For example, Let’s say you hypothetically dated a narcissist. Or someone with a borderline personality disorder. Then you’ll see real toxicity from the receiving end, regardless of whose fault it is.. It certainly isn’t as simple as being boiled down to petty jealousy, because then *everyone* would be guilty of being “toxic.”
      I don’t get why people have to always bring their political and social agendas into something like FICTIONAL TV characters. I have no major issues with Ross. If someone, anyone does something stupid, I call them on it.
      I never had a problem with Susan or Carol, I think Susan is sweet. She just likes getting the best of Ross, because she is also jealous. I think most characters on this show are lovable to a fault.
      I think these people were all written with care, so that they would be lovable, but with flaws. Like all humans.

I think Ross sucks because most of his actions and the things he say would make me run away from him but we all have different views.

    I understand you had a similar situation or were in relationships with guys who might be similar to Ross. So you immediately don’t like his character or his mannerisms. I GET IT. But also just judging him or saying things like he’s jealous or toxic whenever he’s on screen just for me as viewer just kind of frustrates me a bit. I respect your opinions and your perspective, but again Ross went through A LOT and has to still navigate through this messy separation with his ex-wife who has lied, cheated, and left him out on certain decisions pertaining to his child with another woman who she left him for… that is A LOT to take in and of course he would be upset and jealous. His ego, pride, and heart has been stomped on and he has to piece everything back together. Can he be childish and quite petty? YES of course, but again he’s still trying to figure things out. AGAIN.. he has his really good sweet moments, but then he reverts to being insecure and jealous because of what happened with Carol. He feels that he’s never going to be good enough or that he’s going to be cheated on or left behind. In which will be one of his downfalls in the show and ruins good things for him. But he’s not the only one who has his flaws and had bad moments, the other characters go through their lulls and aren’t as likable.
    Also, everyone has their preferences in who is their favorite character or characters in the show. It won’t always be the same, but for me.. i see the good and bad in all of them. They all bring something different with their characters and they all have their issues/insecurities/immaturity. I got annoyed or frustrated with certain characters in the show when they get petty or repeating cycles, but it’s part of their character development. There are certain storylines where I felt the show and development kind of fell off and it was just not needed. But that tends to happen for a long running series.😆😆
