Age of NBC's Friends

dang, jack batty, you have me thinking about this now.

i always thought that ross was a bit older than the others. it takes a bit of time to become a paleo, and a job in the natural history museum. perhaps ross and chandler aren’t exactly the same age.

Because by next year, he thought it made him look stupid - TOW The Thanksgiving Flashbacks.

Unless there’s another reference to Chandler having a Flock of Seagulls haircut…

OK, two back atcha:

What does Rachel say her favorite movie is?
And what is her actual favorite movie?

  • Rick

I think Ross and Chandler are 32. Two years ago when Ross married Emily, Monica was upset that some drunk wedding guest thought she was Ross’ mother. She said something to Chandler about being a single mother with a 30 year old son.

Can I make a guess?

  1. Dangerouse Liaisons. Or was it Terms of Endearment?

  2. Weekend at Bernie’s

Her real favorite movie is Weekend at Bernies, but she tells everyone it’s… Shit. Something serious. With Barbra Streisand, IIRC.

What was Monica’s nickname? “Big fat goalie!”

That’s a DAMN funny episode!

–Tim

Monica: The camera adds 10 lbs.
Chandler: How many cameras where on you?
You’ve uncovered my secret. I’m a Friends fanatic.

Question: Why did Monica predict that she and Chandler would never hook up, even if they were the last 2 people on earth?

For what product did Ross’s monkey appear in a commercial?

Because he would always be the guy who peed on her?

What kind of job does Estelle, Joey’s agent, always want him to audition for?

I know the monkey was in Outbreak, but for the life of me, I can’t remember the commercial.

Probably don’t remember it because the “Saying goodbye to Marcel” episode was one of the worst.

Gay Porn!

Three minute mysteries, Bricker Challenges, and now Friends trivia. There simply is no end to the beneficience that is Bricker. I love that guy.

"For what product did Ross’s monkey appear in a commercial?"
Easy. Monkey Shine Beer.

What exactly does Chandler do? It’s something with numbers. I’ve seen him at work. He makes good money. But, I really have no idea what his job actually is.

Getting back to the age thing, I always thought Ross was a little older than Chandler. By, like, a year, or so. I don’t know why, I just did.

I can tell you what Chandler doesn’t do.

He’s not a “transponster,” as Rachel guessed in the quiz show episode in which C & J “won” M & R’s apartment. (Monica: “Transponster?!? That’s not even a word!”)

Ah, but …
From The One Where Ross Moves In

Chandler: Oh my God, the air purifier! Ross’s air purifier! All I heard through 4 years of college was (makes a humming noise.)

Unless, Ross and Chandler lived together while Ross was in grad school. Hmmm, could be.

For the record, Rachel’s actual favorite movie was Die Hard.

No, it tickled someone’s chin. (I can’t remember who.) Biggirl wins unless someone can give a better answer.

I think Biggirl is right. It’s the episode where Rachel and Ross get romantic. When Ross makes his move, Rachel starts laughing. Later in the episode, he asks Chandler if a girl ever laughed him like that and Chandler mentioned that his flock of seagulls haircut tickled his girlfriend’s chin.

And…Rachel’s favorite movie was definitely Weekend at Bernie’s*. I may be wrong about Dangerous Liaisons (maybe Terms of Endearment) but I’m 100% sure about Weekend at Bernie’s.

Directly from the script:
**Ross: Correct. Rachel claims this is her favorite movie…

Chandler: Dangerous Liaisons.

Ross: Correct. Her actual favorite movie is…

Joey: Weekend at Bernie’s.

Ross: Correct
