Monica is the type of girl who'll burn the house down just to see if the fire alarms are working. 😂
Until she realized she forgot to check the batteries before setting the house on fire.
One of the reasons she is my fav, with Phoebe #2.
Rachel is #3 only because there is no #4 ...
Don't worry she is a clean freak, she will clean that too
Like fire marshal Bill
🤣🤣
Look at Joey's silly face who truly believes in Phoebe's magic 🤣
They discovered the nonproblematic couple/ due recipe. These are the kind of people who can stay happy together no matter what the problem is.
hate to break this to you but Joey is a fictional character played by the actor Matt LeBlanc.
@@Robin-zs8tf Noooooo. Really??????
And there's Phoebe who believes you cant turn on and turn off Joey :) Sweet.
@@Robin-zs8tf Really??? We didn't know.
I was dying when Rachel said "The wires have come loose in your head" 🤣
Hey I read that the moment she said it
Best Line Ever
In other words she lost her mind
@@jedrusk3702 Did she ever have one in the first place?
How did you survive though?
I love that how Joey and Pheobe are at their own world chilling ... Best duo ❤
Uhh I still think that that would be Phoebe and Ross
@@timothyahn2006 lol no
@@timothyahn2006 no
@@timothyahn2006 I would never use the word chilling to describe Ross
@@electric.nachos I was talking about who'd be the best duo with phoebe and I think ross and phoebe are pretty funny together
"it's so freaky, turn him off" she so innocent and cute🥰
I wouldn't call Phoebe innocent, rather untethered seems to be a better description
She is everything but not innocent! 😂
That’s my favorite part
Yeah. She’s one of my favourite characters
@@natasaperun3242 hey give me ur money u littile punk 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like how friendly mrs. Katrakis is despite the fact that Monica drilled a hole in her ceiling. I just think the way her and Rachel say hello to each other is cute.
Hello Darling! So cute
Yep, that’s good manners for you. They have to be drilled in but it’s a good lesson.
You think they wouldn’t of let the supper see the holes
@@hadeswoof8060 Y’all are taking a throwaway gag in a 25 year old sitcom too seriously.
@@User-cb4jm shut up
The miracle is that Joey and Chandler never accidentally left the switch in the wrong position and disabled the girls' TV
Might just be an on off switch, meaning you could just turn it back on near the TV probably
@@danielbyrne5402 But isnt that mostly a lamp thing, dont outlets work differently?
Not if both are connected to same appliance, otherwise, how would people have turned that TV on and off all these years, it would have always been on or off
@@MortanAMrk it depends on how the circuit is wired up. That switch controls the power flow to the outlet the TV is plugged into. It may well be the only switch on that circuit.
That's assuming that they didn't swap TVs when they swapped apartments. If they swapped and the old TV was plugged in a different outlet (potentially even within the same receptacle), the switch may not have actually affected the girls' TV.
Phoebe and Joey , what a great duo
The best duo
I broke down laughing when she thought she had telekinetic powers. I was a bit nervous because I could not stop laughing...
@@Bean-kh9cu Uhh I still think that that would be Phoebe and Ross
@@timothyahn2006 hmm maybe. They’re not together so much but the times they are together they’re funny as hell
Legends
The arc where they switch apartments was great
This is right before they go to London for Ross' wedding then the show changes dramatically.
@@joemckim1183 My thoughts exactly, i believe FRIENDS was great up until season 5 after that it got so weird, still funny i admit, but awkard at times and slightly boring.
@@cobgab it was good til the end you crazy psychos
Friends started losing its spunk for me once Joey-Chandler and Monica-Rachel were no longer roommates.
Sure, except when Rachel acted like a total sore loser. And when the girls locked themselves in the apartment to force the boys to give them it. Those scenes drove me nuts.
Monica gets really crazy sometimes 😂😂
Yes she does. And it’s usually hilarious. Like in this episode
Normal sane people would try to figure out what it did but not to the extent of putting holes in the wall.
Sometimes? Lol
Honestly. They All Do,.

That's..... . What MAKES This Show (imho.).
They All.. Pass Around and Juggle (Practically) ALL the Emotions Known to Human Kind, In Between Them Like They've Been Doing It Before Any of them were even born.
That.
Is What Friends,
- Do.

ya think
I thought it would end with Gunther wondering why there’s a light flicking on and off at Central Perk.
That would be hilarious
@@DarknessOfRedbone would be even funnier if its all the lights at Central Perk. Imagine Gunther's and the customers reaction🤣🤣
Mon: "How can you not care?"
Joe: "Like this, 🤷🏻♂️"
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
0:22 😂😂
Monica:How can you not care
Joey:like this 🤷🏻♂️
Literally my favorite scene
A valuable lesson there I think
I'm an electrician. You would be surprised how often things like this come up. And I mean a mystery switch that ends up controlling something odd in an unexpected place. It happens.
Edit:
Wow. Thanks for the 2.2K likes.
Oh my, for real? Must've been a nightmare!
I hope I won't encounter anything like this! Things like this bugs me omg 😭
I could feel Monica's frustration, it trancends through the screen!
@@geniusonyeo It probably happens in houses or apartments where new people have moved in. Like the people who first put in the switches know what they do but no way for new people to know.
Good ol switch plugs destroy people 😂
Oh, Give Us Some Examples pls
Lmao 🤣 now you got me laughing I know of a couple switches that I think do nothing but are probably doing something 🤣🤣
The ‘hello darling’ at 2:38 was honestly so adorable
Pheobie and Joey steal the scene every time
Phoebe**
This is so relatable. There is still a switch I don't know what it controls in my house after living there for 15 years.
You moved to that house? MIIM taught me that there could be a hidden toilet somewhere :)
My parent have one in their detached house that they moved into in 1982.
Sometimes a switch really does nothing. An old place of mine had a dubble switch, but that was only because the single switch coverings where sold out at that time, so they used a dubble switch to install the light. So one of the two switches had wire attatched and worked, and the other did literaly nothing. they never botherd fixing it. I only knew because the land lord told me because he got complains from previous renters about it. Sometimes an extra switch doesn't have a mysterious function. Sometimes it literaly does nothing.
@@amberanime I'm doing up a 100 year old house and there was a double vertical switch for hall and outside light, it was cheaper to cover than to plaster and repaint putting the two switches in the same emplacement with smaller switches, now I look at it and I know for the next 15 years I'm going to be hitting that bottom emplacement that looks like a switch but isn't, kinda regret my decision lol
I once had a switch that did nothing in an apartment that I used to live in. Of course, I knew exactly why it was there. The construction of the building was originally going to have ceiling fans in all of the living rooms, but the owner changed it out for central air conditioning midbuild. As a result, _everyone_ had an inactive switch.
The combination of Joey’s stupidity and Phoebe’s childishness: now that’s a great friendship.
oh my god that's so freaky turn him off🤣
This was a great era of the show. I love that Monica & Rachel had to swap apartments with Chandler & Joey, and we get another peek into Monica's neurosis in this episode :-)
"I bet i stopped listening before you did" 😂😂😂😂
Rachel on high beams. It never get old.
Those glass cutters are amazing.
@@abergethirty Absolutely. 😆😆👍
I heard in an interview years ago that half the time it's not even natural and her bra's had stubs to make the headlights appear.
@@kyleellis1825 I've heard of the push-up bra, but never the pop-up.
@@racketman2u After thinking on it more, I'm pretty sure I remembered a different blonde actress on a sitcom that aired around the same time. I think she said they were trying to make her that shows "rachel".
I feel like Friends really live up to the name... I never realised it when I was watching them when I was younger but now I think how wonderful that these characters that some now want to criticise as being caricatures or stereotypical or whatever helped us feel a little more normal with the small things like if you had a bit of OCD like Monica or are a bit blonde like Rachel etc... Friends showed the world that all these extreme personalities can be Friends if everyone just acknowledged and accepted everyone else as they are and accepted themselves as they are.... with a little magic of course but regardless.
It’s like anime. It needs to be exaggerated so that people get what’s being communicated. Those feelings when they are inside of you are powerful but no one else can see them.
By season 7-8, yeah everyone has been flanderized into unrealistic stereotypes. But it works because we do remember them having more normal interactions and assume it just happens off screen and we're only seeing the funny moments.
@@kyleellis1825
It was mainly just Monica and Joey. Ross' descent into madness happened in the middle of the show and fit into his character arc.
@@morbidsearch True. Though I would throw Phoebe into the flanderized camp as well.
woah!!! just needed an assurance for my ocd and annoying behavior's!
Phoebe Buffay has imagination of a child believing the power switch works on Joey and she could magically turn on and off the television by blinking she’s lucky to have a friend like Joey🧡☺️
Don't explain jokes, please. Ever.
@@user-yc5um2pl5v no need to be rude
@@2crazy738 I weren't.
@@2crazy738 Yeah I too was about to say that. Everyone has their own interpretations.
@@2crazy738 What else can you expect from a russian pig?
"the wires have come lose in you head", get me every time
This scene really defines Monica as a person. Crazy af 🤣
I love when Rachel has a better idea than Monica and Monica says, "Well, I'm using noise".
Rachel: i dont care, the wires have come loose in your head! at 2:11 lol
I love it the way joey makes that gesture… when Monica asks how can u not care
"It's coming from Joey" was the funniest line delivery Jennifer ever had, or at least somewhere in the top. Then Phoebe goes "OMG! Turn him off!" 😂😂😂😂... My god that is comedy gold.
Is it though? Phoebe's "jokes" are always random and stupid. Not funny. Drags down almost every scene she's in.
1:24 😂😂😂
@@williammccormick984I agree, Phoebe isn't nearly as funny as people make her out to be, her line was just meh. Rachel's was funny though.
Haha they def took this from the episode of married with children when al and Jefferson find a switch and they have no idea what its for and they tear down the whole house And at the end it's the doghouse light. Lol
Hahaha oh shit yeah I remember that episode
@@IPYES I love that episode. Remember when Al and the guys from the nudie bar all helped and came over and things for more chaos and much funnier and Bob Rooney was stuck in the wall at the end. 🤣🤣🤣
The joke is a lot older than that.
@@Logan_Baron I think the three stooges might have a few bits on that too.
😂😂😂 The moment Monica flipped the switch at 1:09, my AirPods disconnected! 😂😂😂
Insert the Twilight Zone theme music!
00:53 She made a couple of good points.
How many of you noticed that Monica is reading the book "Like a hole in the Head" at 1:44. Prett apt for the scene I would say 😀
Imagine if Monica were the one watching the tv while Joey played with the switch. If Monica found out, I bet she would destroy that switch. 😂
Joeys v-neck sweater almost makes him look like he’s in Star Trek
Science officer.
There were a coupla outfits like that!😂
1:39 never seen that view before lol
Rachel: The wires have come loose in your head!. 😂😂😂
2:04
This cut is driving me as crazy as the mysterious switch drove Monica up the wall.
Damn. Through a t-shirt and her sweater. The force is strong with Rachel.
They are either fake nips or it's very very very cold in there.
@@alanrogs3990 Typically they try to keep sets cold to prevent people from sweating under the lights. The Office didn't use studio lights but they still kept it cold for the men in suits and the women had space heaters under their desks and wore uggs when you couldn't see their feet.
It’s very cold on sets to prevent sweating. It’s common to see nipples show through. Many women use covers in the bra. Jennifer didn’t…thankfully.
"The force" diverts all attention, had to remind a couple of times to keep track on what they're saying and concentrate of someone else. Beautiful sight, though😊
@@amandamarshall1485 If that's so then it's also counter productive. You save time not having to keep touching up perspiration but waste time having more toilet breaks.
I love the cold studio it was filmed in.
I actually had a light switch like this in my previous apartment. My roommates and I thought maybe our living room used to have a light but it was removed. Never figured it out but the mystery was fun to think about. I hope someone who moved in after us figures it out 😂
0:53 extra pointy
It happens all the time, unless it's a very new house you will have a switch that does nothing. Maybe old wiring that nobody connected, or maybe the thing they wanted to turn on isn't here anymore, or maybe they miscalculated ecc. It's always easier and cheaper to just leave a do-nothing-switch in place.
For example I have 2 of them:
I know that #1 should turn on the lamp outside above the front door, but the wiring has been replaced and this isn't connected anymore. But #2 does hell knows what.
I love Monica. She is smart, perseverant and might have become a great scientist.
I've lived in two places with "phantom switches," one in an apartment and one in the house I grew up in. The one at the apartment actually had been bypassed inside the electrical box, and that circuit powered the dishwasher. It originally powered a garbage disposal unit which had since been removed. The one at my childhood home? Fifty years later, neither I nor my sister know what it was supposed to do. Even my dad, who built the house, knew what it was supposed to do.
Thats obviously a ghost switch. ZOINKS!
When my dad passed away some years ago, I cleared out his basement. He had a pretty large basement. In it was like a dozen switches, but I only found three that actually worked. The others didn't seem to do anything. Perhaps they used to work and failed over time, perhaps they were intended to work for something, but never got hooked up or, knowing my dad, perhaps they used to work until he tinkered with them and they broke down and he never bothered to fix them. At any rate, his basement was riddled with switches that didn't seem to do anything. I didn't bother trying to figure out what they were supposed to do, though.
It's been torn down now and a newer, more modern house now stands in its place, so I'll never know what they did, but much like Joey here, I just sort of shrug it off and think: eh, if they were important enough, they would've been fixed.
Rachel looking alert is always pleasing
Freak
It makes me to watch FRIENDS again and again 😂😂😂
MONICA: Joey. Let me ask you a question. This has been driving me crazy. What does this light switch do?
JOEY: Oh, nothing.
MONICA: Did it drive you crazy to have a switch and not know what it did?
JOEY: I know what it did. Nothing.
MONICA: They wouldn't have put it there if it didn't do something. How can you not care?
JOEY: Like this. 🤷🏻♂️
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
THE Best Series ever!! I’m the same age as all the characters on the show and sooooo could relate every week I watched it. Good times!!!
Hi I loved how Monica kept flipping the switch & it's at Joey apartment while phoebe & joey are watching TV 👋🤔😂😅♥️
I do remember watching some episodes of friends with my parents when I was younger, maybe around ten or so. I was born in September 2004 and it stopped airing in May 2004. Some of the episodes get played every now and again when I was young and damn this brought some nostalgia not many of my generation would get from internationally nostalgic series such as this.
I like to think Joey knew what it did the whole time and flicked the "light" switch on and off for fun.
Monica has a beautiful voice in original version. I love it.
Monica is hilarious. 🤣
2:53 seven shocks?! I heard electric shock can make people infertile... you should've known, monica
😢
Man the completely different camera angles are so weird, I don't think we've ever seen the top of that front door, never knew there was another little piece above it
I noticed that too.
I just remembered the two reasons why I loved this show.
Monica's boobs better
1:28 oh my god that's so freaky turn him off...lol...
Joey and Phoebe - you gotta love them 😆
I'm watching this video on the day of Matthew's death, Friends is a series that is very close to my heart and the characters in the series are not just any other characters they are my/our emotions, after the death of Chandler I felt I lost my strong emotion 😭, RIP Chandler love you hope you are in the better place...
"Doesn't it bother you not knowing what it did?"
"I know what it did. Nothin'."
That right there is the perfect example of how two people's minds work. For Monica it drives her nuts not knowing what it does. For Joey he just accepts that it doesn't do anything and that's what it does. Nothing.
Rachel was a bit excited there when they were looking for the hum.....or the room was cold.
Or the switch was turning her on and off !
0:49 WOW! It's cold in that apartment.
The picture with the 3 balloons is my favorite
Phoebe the television controlling Genie 🧞 😄
when Joey was humming I lost it. Such a troll!
The wires have come loose in your head! 😂😂
LOL 🤣 holes in the wall 🤣
"I don't care, the wires have come loose in your head..." 😂 Well, that explains a lot.
So many memories come to me with this scene, I fully enjoyed this show and I came to the conclusion that Joe was the ideal partner for most (except Ross) of course, he has his thing, he can drive anyone crazy, but... Once the stage of getting to know each other "cohabitants" is over, Joe becomes a fairly easy-going roommate.
2:04 just me or did it look like she lagged or like glitched out
I always agree with Rachels’s “points” 😂
Jennifer with the eternal pokies XD
i love that monica is reading “A Hole In The Head” when rachel gets home 😂
"I don't care. The wires have come lose in your head." Nice one, Rachel.
The wires have come loose in your head. 🤣
I keep repeating the video just to see Joey and Phoebe ❤️❤️🤣
I like how the picture without a hole behind it is of a rubber duck 😁🦆
That switch might control if another switch works or not further down the line. Wiring can get convoluted, especially when lines are added or repairs are made. A friends of mine's house has a switch in the laundry room, that was a converted garage, that wont work if a switch in the hallway on the other side of the house is turned off. That hall switch also controls another switch in the kitchen for an overhead light.
I love Joey and Pheobe's Dynamic
LOL 🤣 turns TV off in next flat LOL
Must be cold, Rachel...
Wow Rachel's headlights were definitely on in that green sweater. No wonder I watched this show as a kid 🤣🤣😂
Or the switch was turning her on and off !
I kept reading comments to see if anyone else noticed. Absolutely gorgeous. Love that green sweater😃
The switch turns on some lamps alright!!
Anyone else notice that at 1:07 it was on and she turns it off?
It makes Phoebe a tv channel-changing- genie 😄
and makes Monica go crazy
Almost everyplace I have lived in had a switch like that. In one place I kept flicking it on and off all the time and a week later I got a letter from a person in Siberia telling me to cut it out!
All she had to do was get the electrical plans.
"Turn him off" 😂😂😂
0:19
Monica: “How can you not care?”
Joey: “Like this” 🤷♂️
I don’t know why but I absolutely love that part 😂😂
Joey always buys whatever Phoebe says or does....🤣🤣🤣
Aaand Monica is reading a book titled " Like a Hole in the Head " 😂
Moments like these are why this show is remember as one of the greats. God I want rewatch FRIENDS now.
I love Monica with all of my heart
1:43 Easter Egg! The book she's reading is titled "Like a Hole in the Head"... which is perfect :D
this is gold !
Joey and phoebe can never be taken serious
What a wonderful comedy in my entire life it is!!!!
The book Monica is reading 😂🤣😂🤣
The wires have come loose in your head. 😂🤣🤣
2:12 😅😭😆😆
While I saw the promos for it in 1994 (the ones where they didn't show any actors but kept talking about being "friends"), I never gave this show a chance, then I saw this in the summer of 1999, and realized I had missed out on a really good show. Of course when I watched the early shows, they weren't as good. It definitely got better as time went on, and I'm kind of glad this was the first show I saw of the series.
