Joey is a mouth-breathing imbecile.

With a heart of gold!

But to your point, if he at least made it to 2017 he'll be fine.

I think Monica kills Chandler in their early 50s

Phoebe, because a pimp spit in her mouth.

Plus, she’ll come back as a ghost and reside in one of her paintings.

You guys are too young! It's not great, it's unrealistic, but it was part of the 90s!

I think this was my How I Met Your Mother. I was just too young to relate to 20somethings in 1995 or whatever, but it was perfect timing for me when HIMYM came on.

And I think I'm too old. Never much of a fan, but it wasn't "King of Queens" bad.

This is probably perfect. Because I never cared for that show!

Rachel .drug issues related to depression (exact opposite of her role as Polly Prince). Maybe Chandler from a heart attack.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Apr 17, 2019 10:09 am

There was a discussion somewhere about which Friend would be the most likely to be the murderer if the cast was put in a scary movie - I think it was Le Batard. For some reason, NO ONE said Monica, which is the only answer.

Also the last episode aired in 2004. It's one of those shows that's strongly associated with a particular time but went on far longer than people remember. Sort of like how Happy Days lasted until 1984.

Chandler would be the first to die and I'd bet Matthew Perry is absolutely the first to die in "real life".

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Apr 17, 2019 10:32 am

I have a different answer real life versus show.

Get your pick in before Courtney Cox is killed by Tiger Woods in an opioid rage.

I voted Chandler thinking it was real-life. On the show, it's absolutely Joey. Either heart attack or AIDS.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Apr 17, 2019 10:39 am

Real: Chandler

Show: Phoebe

Kill the rest: Absolutely Monica (rage + knife skills)

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Wed Apr 17, 2019 10:41 am

Or Joey is murdered by a pissed-off husband.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Wed Apr 17, 2019 11:07 am

Monica would kill all the men and then stage their bodies in a real-life foosball display where the referee is a cardboard cutout of her fat high school self.

i also voted matthew perry thinking it was real life. I realize its hypocritical to bet against a recovering addict, but to quote a line from Deadpool...

"Im sorry, I just wanted to win money."

Show: Ross, heart attack or suicide.

Real Life: Perry.

And in real life, Matt Leblanc is supposed to be unnaturally chill. He lives to 97.

If you watch the show "Episodes," he plays a very funny version of himself.

I'm in the wheelhouse, but I was much much more of a Seinfeld guy.

My wife LOVES Friends and will queue it up once and while. I walk past and chuckle at some joke..and she'll say "See, it's funny!" Well sure, it's a sitcom with jokes...there are parts that are funny.

Also, I really hate David Schwimmer.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Apr 17, 2019 12:50 pm

I'd be curious about his career if he was never cast on the show because you can't separate him from Ross. "Ross playing Robert Kardashian", etc.

Rush2112 · Post by **Rush2112** » Wed Apr 17, 2019 1:03 pm

He's basically the same guy in Band of Brothers.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Wed Apr 17, 2019 1:08 pm

I wasn't a Friends fan when it was on, but that's more because I found half of them to be annoying pricks. And unlike say Always Sunny, they weren't funny enough or got their comeuppance enough to justify it.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Wed Apr 17, 2019 2:18 pm

No exaggeration, it's a source of great joy between my wife and I for the various inside jokes our love of that show has spawned. Plus we one the Gellar Cup at a Friends trivia contest last year. I agree with many of the criticisms of the show, but they all seem kinda too deep for what's a 22-minute escape from reality. Anyway, I think it holds up great which is very rare for sitcoms from that time period.
