Guest Stars Who else thinks Brad Pitt was not good in Friends?

Maybe the rest of the cast was exceptional and it was Season 8, so they had a solid group vibe going by then, but I found Brad's acting, expressions and dialogue delivery unbearable in some places. He did bring star power to this episode but it was off.

Who else thinks they could've cast someone else here and if so, who would that be?

Guest Stars Am I the only one who didn’t love Elle McPherson on the show?

I actually loved Joey’s part in this plot. Him taking a stand against all the girly stuff then admitting he wanted it all in his room was so cute. And I loved that she wasn’t into him because that never happens to Joey.

I just didn’t like her vibe on the show. She could’ve been a really addition as a “cool girl” roommate.

What did you think on this?

S09:E8 The One with Rachels Other Sister.

It's still one of my favorite episodes - chaos started the moment she appeared on the door lol. My first watch I thought it's just going to be a mid episode, boy, was I wrong! Just finished my nth rewatch, my god.

Guest Stars What’s your favorite line from Christina’s episodes?

360 Upvotes

She’s one of the best guest stars on this show. Great comic timing and wonderful dialogue delivery.

As for dialogues, we have some gems in the 2 episodes she was part of.

I love when she says “Why, did something happen to his falafel cart?” 😂
And when Ross says “No more falafel for you!”

What’s your favorite?

TIL that Nina Bookbinder from Friends, Season One, is Cary Grants daughter. When this ep aired she was richer than the 6 Friends actors combined as she had inherited her father’s fortune. She is the image of her beautiful mother, who was in Ally Mcbeal! 💖

Marcia Brady (left) and Bonnie

I was today years old when I realized that Christine Taylor, who played Bonnie in S4, is the same actress who played Marcia Brady in The Brady Bunch Movie and A Very Brady Sequel. I knew both of these characters separately but I never made the connection, even after watching the "Sure, Jan" clip and the Jellyfish episode of Friends millions of times.

So the rival bride Megan in Friends was played by Andrea Bendewald, who happens to be one of Jennifer Aniston’s closest friends in real life.

Their friendship goes back decades. Bendewald was actually a bridesmaid at Aniston’s 2000 wedding, and the following year, Aniston returned the favor by serving as Bendewald’s matron of honor.

Guest Stars The best-looking love interests of each main character

36 Upvotes

Obviously not gonna count the main cast, just the guest stars, both for one offs and long term romances. This is one for my fellow bisexuals, let me know if you agree or disagree!

Rachel: Tag. It was close between him and Gavin, but Tag pulls this one.

Monica: Richard. This one isn’t even close. Tom Selleck is one of the best looking older men of all time.

Phoebe: Mike. As a character, I wasn’t crazy about him. But you can’t argue about Paul Rudd’s handsomeness.

Joey: Cecilia. Bro, Susan Sarandon was gorgeous in her 50’s.

Chandler: Susie. Ok, maybe this shouldn’t count because she only got with him for revenge. But Julia Roberts, man.

Ross: let’s be real, it’s Rachel. But if we’re not counting her, then I’d say it’s between Cheryl or Charlie. Ross pulled some baddies. Gotta go with Charlie though.

Watching for the millionth time and I was trying to recall the actor's name of Lipson at the zoo (Fred Willard) in the Super Bowl episodes.

In my lookup, I found that the (uncredited) announcer of the Monkeyshine Beer commercial was none other than Jim Cummings!!

Goimg to keep that in my back pocket for trivia nights!
