I saw this too and thought hey joey does know what they mean but to be fair he is directly copying Ross as he does it first. Poor poor Joey, waving his fingers in the air like he knows what he's doing

An entirely non Friends gripe, but I only got an invite to my friend's wedding under five weeks before the wedding! It was a pain because I didn't ant to harass the bride with questions, but at the same time the wedding is really remote and we needed to know what transport they were putting on! (It ends at midnight in the middle of effing nowhere by the way)
just watching towjoey dates rachel
it seems whilst ross is teaching a class it cuts to rachel and joey out for dinner
how late are ross's classes?

But Joey does the air quotes on his own accord without copying someone else in another scene.
When Chandler is trying to get into Monica's secret closet that is locked Joey is helping him. Joey asks him if he has a hairpin and Chandler says he'll go and see if Monica has one. As Chandler walks off Joey says "Sure "Monica" " using the air quotes as he says her name.
another one just popped up whilst watching tow chandler takes a bath
when theyre standing talking to him in the bath behind the the mirror behind the sink has no glass in it

I suppose it's like if you give 100 monkeys 100 typewriters they'll eventually type Shakespeare - or whatever that theory is.
Poor innocent Joey just air quotes as he deems appropriate from observing his higher intellectuals and attempting to mimic them, hoping one day he will live in their world.
It's only when the testosteronely charged challenge-to-Alpha-Male-status-Ross directly challenges Joey using this superior power of air quotes that Joey must submit and admit he does indeed not know what they are for *
* nah that's all bollix the writers made a **** up on this. GRIPE!

Maybe the whole bathroom is a vampire and has no reflection

I'm pretty sure Rachel says she was meant to be doing it weeks before that, but forgot and left it until then.
I tried to go back through the episodes to when Monica was doing her seating plan and tried to work out the weeks but then my brain melted
On a side note I sent my invites 6 weeks before but it was a small family wedding and most people already knew the date.
What kind of wedding Monica and Chandler had is undisclosed. How they resolved their differences on how Chandlers money should be spent was never really.. Uhm... Resolved

Yes Rachel said she should have sent them weeks ago but she had left them in her drawer at work and forgot about them. Everybody did turn up according to Monica whilst she is watching this conversation on the tape as she squeezes Rachel's hand really hard

Because she is as dumb as they come.
Despite trying many times, I have never managed to watch a complete episode from beginning to end as the "humour" is so predictable.
Contrast that with Cheers, Frasier, Taxi etc.

This was so incredibly far-fetched... (but i found an explanation for my gripe)
S1 when Chandler tries to break up with Janice. She buys him Rocky and Bullwinkle socks. Looking online, the show ran between 1959 and 1964. One can assume that Chandler was born around 1970, I thought it was odd that you'd buy a partner something that was on before they were even born. I was born in early 90s, so i'd be surprised if i got a present from a TV series of the 80s. Music is different. You hear old music everywhere but most TV series don't get repeated much.
However, found out that the show aired in syndication on Nickelodeon from 1990-1994 so that makes sense.
Oh and the fact he had a pair already.

Cartoons are often repeated though. I remember Rocky & Bullwinkle as a kid and I am probably only a few years younger than Bing was supposed to be.

At the time I found the humour in the first few series of Friends to be quite refreshing. I struggle to watch it now but that's mainly because I rewatched it so many times in my 20s that it's now stale.
I think you can sometimes have this thing where a show is so successful that it defines a genre to the extent that the original is eventually is seen as cliched. What I mean is that Friends lead to a lot of shows trying to copying it's format and style of humour - so for someone that didn't watch it the first time round you look back and think "well this is all a bit boring/predictable".
I actually have this problem with Seinfeld - I tried to watch it for the first time about 10 years ago and I was just bored. I made it half way through the third series and gave up. But I love Curb your Enthusiasm.
