I think this is the result of the many seasons in a tv show..finding good jokes and lines becomes harder and harder after a while so in order to make it easier, you enhance the key characteristics in the personality of each character...thus as the seasons moved on Joey was more stupid, Ross had a nervous breakdown every two episodes and Monica was neurotic and loud for every little thing.

They were still influenced by Cheers and the style of earlier sitcoms with the super witty, knock-knock lines. Then Friends developed its own lingo and more slapstick style and became iconic in its own right.

I don't know if anyone noticed that at the beginning Rachel is pouring coffee in a blue cup for Joey and then Joey enters the frame holding a Yellow cup. I guess Rachel still can't get the drinks right. 😝😝🤣
@@AngelMorales-qn8bf yea but he lifted the blue one up and then they shoot the scene through another angle and he’s still moving the cup up but when Rachel moves, he now has a yellow cup
While everybody is gushing over Rachel; I can't help but admire Phoebe's youthful, angelic face. She's the oldest in the cast but boy, is she the youngest-looking.
If you act happy about bad cards and it causes others to fold, that is as amateur as bluffing gets. Doesn't take intelligence to do and it takes less intelligence to fall for it.
@@ModeratelyAmused I don't think you watched the rest of the seasons and saw how stupid his character became if you did you would understand my point he couldn't even tell a simple lie without mentioning some raccoon hhhhh
To all the people saying that Joey became dumb, it's just poker it could be his interest. There are lot of people who particularly smart in a field and naturally dumb otherwise.
don't try to rationalize it. Joey was depicted as a normal person in early seasons then a womanizer, then they make him a male version of the dumb pretty blonde and later they ran out of ideas to make fun of him so simply take away his brain
I love Mondler but season one characters make me wanna see Joey n Monica too. Like them being serious together. Monica still being classy and confident , not lousy and neurotic. Joey being sufficiently smart to ignore or laugh when his friends were sarcastic and not just dumb.
i love when they have inside jokes among themselves. and how they’d have their looks exchanged with each other. it’s more real 😂 first season was the best.
For those who don't get the Jamestown joke... Jamestown was one of the earliest English townships. It was named in honour of King James, located in Virginia. After establishment in 1607 as a fort, it was briefly abandoned in 1610 but served as capital of Virginia from 1616 to 1699 until it was once again abandoned. It's now an historic archaeology site. In the context of the episode, the gang are all playing poker for the first time but the girls have lost. Rachel is getting ready to leave but Chandler says “whoa, you've go to settle first” to which Rachel says “settle what?” That's when Chandler makes the sarcastic remark before Ross explains that they owe them money. By settling he means to settle the abandoned site of Jamestown because King George is giving land there 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Idk but when I look back at first season I can somehow feel the awkwardness between the actors. Idk maybe it's just me but in later seasons the chemistry between all of them seems top notch .
Hate to say it, but I think EVERY man has been Ross at 4:00...i know i have, and then immediately realized how stupid i sounded, but by then i committed and well, just dug myself deeper.
RAJIV KASWAN no problem, you see in this society if we do not remind people or correct them even in the littlest ways you must remember always and never forget no matter who you are, what you are or where you are any species shape or size, you must always know that whenever one feels that they should remember this that they should
I didn't watch season 1 but it was re-shown before season 2 started and this was the episode that drew me in. Rachel was adorable here with her taunting of Ross. Although in the long run it was Monica who ended up being my favourite female character.
I personally disagree. The Big Bang Theory was consistently half-decent with few truly poor episodes, whereas Friends oscillated between between being excellent (the first 2-3 seasons) and absolutely dreadful (which it often was in the mid-late seasons).
The characters were so so realistic in the first season.easily the best season of the 10..the humour was spontaneous,natural and appeared more organic...later it was just manufactured humour trying too hard to make the audiences laugh
I dont like how he finally let her win... that was because he was soooo in love with her.... I wouldnt do that, not in ten lives, at least not with THIS love. And even if he had won, which is actually the case, if he just didnt lie, he would also continued being a nice guy.
Its a sitcom, it doesnt have to be "real" do you think about how they could not afford where they live, have no jobs and spend all days doing anything but work?
My god Monica was literally the prettiest woman in the world in seasons 1-3 of Friends. She’s gorgeous afterwards but her make-up and hairstyle department was on the top of their game.
When Ross was clapping his hands and after Joey was like: "Yeah"?? I was actually with Joey on this one..haha. Was wondering the hell was all that clapping meant to mean?? 😂😂😂.
Friends isn’t as bad as Twitter makes it out to be for the sake of having a unique opinion. Sure, it’s not striking, but it’s mildly funny as a chill show, thus being a “sitcom”.
@@tabbyjules6917 i mean, not sure what people on twitter say. but it is definitely misogynistic and homophobic. the gay stereotypes, sexist stereotypes against women are all prominent throughout the seasons. though im not surprised as its the 90s.
Excuse me do any of you know how to play Girls no But you can teach us Boys no Funny the look of chandler’s face before he say no was priceless and funny
I love friends, but the first season is just phenomenal.....Joey was so smart. Their friendships were amazing without any romantic angle....
...Have you met Ross in S1? This very episode he throws a game to make Rachel happy.
@@kenb2957 One-sided in this case.
Yeah except for the whole idiotic storyline with Marcel...
@@kenb2957 did he really throw it or he lost
Good probably be singing a different tune of there had been a homosexual storyline, am I right?
So Joey went from pro poker bluffer to "A raccoon came in.."
"No! Nothing with a raccoon!" 😂
Also joey rejecting a food?!

The characters were more realistic in first season. Its the best season of all.
There's something so beautiful about the 90s, the clothes and hairstyles and even people looked better.
We had standards back then
I don’t see any clothes there you couldn’t wear today with anyone noticing a difference.

Season 1 is the best
The first couple of seasons were fantastic. Then of course, they had to tunnel every character into just 1 thing.
They were still influenced by Cheers and the style of earlier sitcoms with the super witty, knock-knock lines. Then Friends developed its own lingo and more slapstick style and became iconic in its own right.
Rachel's waitressing clothing is so cute at the first scene

So Joe went from a poker player bluffing and all...to not being able to repeat a simple phrase in French

The scene where Monica's aunt teaches the girls how to play is very funny.

How did Joey go from cook, pro at poker, and being somewhat decently smart to not knowing how to spell “baby”? Make it make sense, David and Marta
Totally different situations, Joey can be particularly smart at poker, but dumb at living in general..
Everybody got flanderized on friends.
Matt wanted his character to be dber because he thought Joey was a bad guy who played with women being so smart or something
The time when Joey knew syllable and could give examples
Joey went from Poker to Cup!
