You know, if you watched Chandlers scenes without the laugh track, they would be really super depressing. :D It would be him telling jokes and then everyone just standing there silently for a few seconds without laughing, then carrying on with conversation.
Most sitcoms probably wouldn't be as funny as we think if they removed the laugh track. Take Big Bang Theory for instance, I found it icky enough to begin with, but without the laugh track, its humour is just plain creepy and I wouldn't in any way want to be associated with those assholes who call themselves geeks.
And then one day Chandler breaks it to the other friends that they are, in fact, on a tv sitcom and they don't really exist in the real world. Things get dark..
A fun fact about friends is that matt leblanc (joey) was basically homeless when the show started, the other actors were buying cars and other stuff with their first check but the first thing he bought was a hot dinner 😢
"So is Ross going to be the smart one who fascinates everyone with his discussions about science?" "No they're going to groan every time he tries to bring the conversation away from relationships."
"Except for when he gets a second divorce. He's going to whine so much about that relationship that his friends and Janice will prefer it if he went back to talking about science." "Who's Janice?" "One of Chandler's girlfriends. She's very annoying, but Chandler will always find ways to avoid that subject. He'll even travel to another country instead of telling her the truth." "But if she's a grown woman, surely she can take it. Why doesn't he just say it?" "Because!"
ross is so bad at telling stories period, have you ever tried to talk with a super boring person? yea he can be smart and know a lot, but if i would like pure data i would read a book. Ross does not conversate he only gives lectures / unable to tell difference between cafe and auditorium
I love how the pitch meeting show has evolved so much. Rewatching them... again, I felt a serious lack of "tight", "oh, really?!", And "wow, wow, wow... Wow"
@Dauda András Because there isn't a lot of diversity in the show, obviously. Don't see why you have to use what has to be the stupidest insult of all time. What does SJWtard even mean, you snowflake? Someone who fights for justice in a leotard? Sounds cool, really.
@Dauda András Uhhh, how about The Office (US version)? Whatever opinion you may have about it, it had a fair amount of diversity. And you can't deny that it's been a huge success.
There's actually a good explanation for some of them. Monica was subletting from her Grandmother who had been there for years before she moved in (and I think it was rent controlled on top of that), and Rachel was just staying with her. Chandler had a tedious office job with a ludicrously complicated sounding name, but he had his own office, so it was probably pretty high paying, and Joey was his room mate so he just played a lower part of the rent than Chandler I think. Ross was a paleontologist, but I have no idea how much they make, so it could go either way on that one. Phoebe is the one that doesn't make sense, because she worked as a masseuse and played guitar at Central Perk as a hobby, so I seriously doubt she was making enough money to afford an apartment in Manhattan on her own.
@@MoostachedSaiyanPrince Paleontologists who teach at universities make enough money to afford their own, nice apartments, & Phoebe lived where her dead grandmother had lived for years so it was most likely rent controlled as well.
@@Nikki_the_G Paleontologists average like 80k a year in New York. The average household doesn't even pull 60k, so I'm sure a guy can afford a one bed & bath apartment with an income greater than the average 2+ person home. Is that what you are referencing or am I missing something?
It’s crazy how much the editing and pacing has improved over the years. You can clearly tell the difference between the early pitches and the newer ones. They’re still great, but it’s cool seeing how refined he’s gotten things.
That's true of pretty much every sitcom, though. Sitcom characters are constantly saying funny things with little to no reaction from other characters, And it would be kind of weird for characters to be constantly making each other laugh.
@@mrcydonia Actually, after a lifetime of watching sitcoms, I never noticed that consciously.

3:54 - actually, if you watch the Lov... I mean Friends closely, Monica explains that: she got the apartment after her grandma and she is still on her lease deal for it, so rent hasn't changed and Monica can afford it. It was something called rent-controlled apartments - girls pay way under its market value
Sumedha Longani Phoebe lived with her grandmother for many years so her apartment was probably also rent-controlled. I guess Chandler and Ross had good jobs?
@@TeamSukiyo Chandler had a really high-paying job. When wedding season came, Monica was stunned how much Chandler earned and wanted to have a lavish wedding, which began to upset Chandler as he wanted them to spend it on buying a house instead.
@@sumedhalongani5124 Chandler has a stupidly high paying job and Ross is a university professor. Phoebe lived with her Grandmother and inherited her place after she died.
just fyi in real life they will hire private eyes to spy on people suspected of taking advantage of rent control. worth it to the owner of the apartments if he can jack the rates up.
I never watched this show - it came out at the end of high school for me and I didn’t have time. I have literally learned more about the show, the story, and the characters from this skit than I learned in the last almost 30 years of life. Insane.
What's funny about the theme song is that, in the second verse, it says, "Your mama told you there'd be days like these ... " So ... in fact, someone did tell you life was gonna be this way, you just forgot the first verse while you were writing the second.
these older episodes are slow and not as fast paced and engaging as the new ones. I really love how this series has improved and evolved into something so awesome! great job!
I love that this implies that the writer of the show themselves and didn't even know Chandler's job. It's statistical analysis and data configuration by the way.
@@aliahsan811 Christmas Party or something I can’t remember. Where these movies have women will lil muscle drop 2 thugs in one scene then 1 more separately.
Let's not forget that -- in one episode -- Joey was the literal poster boy for venereal disease. Stinson was legendary, to be sure, but it was Joey who blazed the trail.
As much as I think Joey was gross, 50 women over 10 seasons is 5 women per year. Still gross I think, but by the world's standards it doesn't seem that crazy at all.

"This sounds less like a sitcom and more like a soap. you're not going to spend a huge amount of time focused on them and their relationship dragging everything else down, and making the show boring?" "no,no, no..of course not."
@@benparsons4979 I believe there was an episode where Ross's son was playing with dolls or something, and he was bothered by it. Not a big deal to me, every single sitcom had this same plotline. I remember the Roseanne one where Dan didn't want his son to be a witch on Halloween. Though I wouldn't call either one homophobic. Since playing with dolls doesn't make you gay, both episodes were more about traditional masculinity.
I've been binge watching all the pitch meetings and I gotta say.. This one is the most on point one and somehow kinda dark tbh.. Took me a minute to digest everything after it ended.. But hey, nice job
Prometheus would probably be a better one. An Alien movie... with the Alien barely in it and doesn't kill anyone... and the bad guy is the dead masked alien from the first movie... and none of it makes sense.

@@aussiewanderer6304 Ross Is still better than heartless asshole Ted though
3:54 - actually, if you watch the Lov... I mean Friends closely, Monica explains that: she got the apartment after her grandma and she is still on her lease deal for it, so rent hasn't changed and Monica can afford it. It was something called rent-controlled apartments - girls pay way under its market value
And the guys? And Phoebe?
Sumedha Longani Phoebe lived with her grandmother for many years so her apartment was probably also rent-controlled. I guess Chandler and Ross had good jobs?
@@TeamSukiyo Chandler had a really high-paying job. When wedding season came, Monica was stunned how much Chandler earned and wanted to have a lavish wedding, which began to upset Chandler as he wanted them to spend it on buying a house instead.
@@sumedhalongani5124 Chandler has a stupidly high paying job and Ross is a university professor. Phoebe lived with her Grandmother and inherited her place after she died.
just fyi in real life they will hire private eyes to spy on people suspected of taking advantage of rent control. worth it to the owner of the apartments if he can jack the rates up.
Chandler’s Job:Statistical Annalysis and Data Reconfiguration
He's a transpondster.
Came here for this.
Then he went into advertising
Yes, FRAN, I know what time it is, but I’m looking at the WEENUS and I’m not happy!!
@@wirth6 that's not even a word!
I never watched this show - it came out at the end of high school for me and I didn’t have time. I have literally learned more about the show, the story, and the characters from this skit than I learned in the last almost 30 years of life. Insane.
Pitch meeting FOR FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR
Yes
Oh, I wanna see that!!!!
Because moving from West Philly to live with your wealthy uncle in Bel Air is tight
He has to start that with "now this is a story all about how . . .".
The theme song already explains everything XD
"Actually, super easy, barely an inconvenience." That one always makes me giggle.
No one told you life was gonna be this way.
Well actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience
What's funny about the theme song is that, in the second verse, it says, "Your mama told you there'd be days like these ... " So ... in fact, someone did tell you life was gonna be this way, you just forgot the first verse while you were writing the second.
@@Tim_the_Enchanter what's even crazier is the verse AFTER that, where he says "if only mama had told you there'd be days like these."
these older episodes are slow and not as fast paced and engaging as the new ones.
I really love how this series has improved and evolved into something so awesome!
great job!
Super easy, barely an inconvenience
“They will never ever laugh.” It’s true though. Poor Chandler.
I literally just noticed that they NEVER laughed at any of his quips!!!
hahaha this series never disappoints 👌😆😆😎
I love that this implies that the writer of the show themselves and didn't even know Chandler's job.
It's statistical analysis and data configuration by the way.
So Chandler was into Data Science even before it was a thing?
(also, he wore a tie while doing it)
Plus they always forget he earns a hell of lot of money. Over 100k per year
Love these pitch meetings
Thanks!
I played this video when my door opened this happened....
Ryan : Super easy-
Mom and my brother : -BARELY AN INCONVENIENCE
That was brilliant 😂
I hate Friends and this is the best RUclips video I’ve ever watched 😂😂😂 bless you Ryan!!
"Why doesn't Ross, the largest friend, simply eat the other five?"
XD
Perhaps they are waiting for sweeps
After reading this i just thought of the elon musk meme where he has the genius look on his face whale smoking a joint...
Life is so much simpler on Omicron Persei 8.
😭
Friends pitch meeting: “Let’s just steal the exact premise of Living Single” brilliant
Except Living Single was actually good.
@@HarpsiFizz Loved that show! (P.S. are you really a mortuary student? Which has the better reputation, Worsham or the University of Minnesota?)
Not to mention Seinfeld.
This was awesome! Would love for a How I Met Your Mother pitch meeting!
You would have to emphasize that you are not going to reuse every Friends plot, but just slightly differently.
That would be super easy, wait for it, barely an inconvenience.
@@V1C.T0R 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
''surely it would be difficult to engage an audience to watch a show that it's basically friends minus Phoebe''
Watching this from 2024 and I'm amazed that at one point Producer Guy was actually semi-competent as his job.
I always love the sarcastic ironic plot twist ending to these lol 😂
The Clapper
Smoov Operata what with the clapping ? Didn’t get at all ?
@@cuccuc5532 Listen to the Friends theme song
Then Jennifer Aniston did a backflip, snapped the bad guy's neck and saved the day.
Lol.. I just watched the "fiction" video 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This cracked me up big time
Nice one lol
Snapping bad guy neck is TIGHT!
That's from the another movie
@@aliahsan811
Christmas Party or something I can’t remember. Where these movies have women will lil muscle drop 2 thugs in one scene then 1 more separately.
Thanks!
"50 women"
"That's a lot"
Barney: Hahaha
Let's not forget that -- in one episode -- Joey was the literal poster boy for venereal disease. Stinson was legendary, to be sure, but it was Joey who blazed the trail.
As much as I think Joey was gross, 50 women over 10 seasons is 5 women per year. Still gross I think, but by the world's standards it doesn't seem that crazy at all.
That's a low average for Stinson's month... Stinson had a playbook... and a nice suit.
Stinson a perfect month, 31 girls for a month.
@@lopezdube9043 so that's at least one threesome in February. Sounds about right
I need you to make a shirt that says, "This shirt is TIGHT!"
Of course you need one that's 2 sizes too small
Ohhh, shirts that reference pitch meetings are TIGHT
@@godisme8151 they sure are.
Better titles for this show: Friends with Benefits or Sex Fiends.
I think that's the porno parody.
Pretty sure that’s a hentai
The original title was "Across the hall"
I'm sure it exists in pron world
@@LenjaStar The original title was actually Insomnia Cafe
I admittedly only scrolled through the first 10 comments or so, but didnt see any about the claps!!!
I burst out laughing, well done sir.
"I guess she'll never wear a bra"
Thank you, NBC
The No Bra Channel?
she had a bra though, just not padded lmao
Pitch meetings for :
The Office
Parks and Recreation
Scrubs
House
Firefly
PLeeeeease and thank you!
mk 90 yes
@@lilwoofs yes the Office
LOST! That would be an awesome pitch meeting!
Yes! Especially The Office and Parks and Rec!!!
Yessss please
Everyone will be white. Everyone 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And that was good
So what it was the 90's people need to stop comparing different eras just for criticising
Ross had an Asian fiancee as the only exception I recall
@@alexxclass theres always that one racist
Karl Hans there billions of racists:)
Writer Guy about Joey: _"If he could sleep with over 50 women over the course of the show, that'd be perfect."_
Barney Stinson: _"Hold my Glen McKenna."_
Something about the tone of this one seems especially snarky, I like it
You have no idea how much i love Pheobe
Do you love her enough to spell her name correctly?
@@dlxmarks no
You have no idea how much I *hate* phoebe.
Ducktales!
First the original, and THEN the 2017 reboot!
Nobody wears pants!
It'll be TIGHT.
I know they would go after that swimming in money bit.
The clapping bit is genius 🤣🤣🤣
This show is solid!!! I wonder how pitch meeting for it went.
Thanks! :)
ruclips.net/video/5dw4u2A9F4g/видео.html super easy. Barely an inconvenience
I think you mean this show is TIGHT!
@@ScreenRant it's not solid....
it's TIGHT
*I like how before the show even started, they literally planned years ahead with the plot. Now that’s commitment.*
That's hubris!
U brought some old memories back
Nandu Anil I have been watching episodes on Netflix. So...recent memories for me lol.
I've never watched a full episode of this show, and this pitch meeting is HILARIOUS
You guy(s) are genius with your writing. That clapping was pure genius.
"Pheobe sings badly and her songs are terrible, but no one tells her." "How come?" "Well...because..." "It's rude?" "No, they are scared of her. She's had a tough life, and did some stuff that she hints at that are pretty dark." "Wow wow wow." "Yeah....and Ross is kinda homophobic, and very possesive of Rachel." "This sounds less like a sitcom and more like a soap. you're not going to spend a huge amount of time focused on them and their relationship dragging everything else down, and making the show boring?" "no,no, no..of course not."
To be fair, all the main characters are kinda homophobic.
Heyyyy, don't call nice people homophobic. That's a gay thing to do.
@@JerkyD Susan isn't homophobic. :) Okay she isn't a main character, but she was on several episodes.
How is Ross homophobic?
@@benparsons4979 I believe there was an episode where Ross's son was playing with dolls or something, and he was bothered by it. Not a big deal to me, every single sitcom had this same plotline. I remember the Roseanne one where Dan didn't want his son to be a witch on Halloween. Though I wouldn't call either one homophobic. Since playing with dolls doesn't make you gay, both episodes were more about traditional masculinity.
4:06
“Chandler has... a job”
THANK YOU !!!!, for the reference...
It's cool watching your delivery evolve over the years.
"Her mom killed heself but, she's the silly one" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 barely an inconvince i guess
That was literally the best fat joke I've ever heard.
Kill me now, its all down hill from here XD
I've been binge watching all the pitch meetings and I gotta say.. This one is the most on point one and somehow kinda dark tbh.. Took me a minute to digest everything after it ended.. But hey, nice job
Man, these have gotten so much better as he amped up the douchiness of the producer guy.
😂 2:34 they're friends!! that angry insisting expressions
"50 isn't that a lot."
The moment i heard that line i could hear barney stintson in my head go
"Challenge accepted"
Great video, pleaaaaase do alien covanent
Prometheus along with Covenant are diving into the origins of how Aliens became to be. Hopefully he can wrap up his trilogy :)
"The robot goes completely homicidal."
"That sounds disastrous"
"No, it's barely an inconvenience."
Prometheus would probably be a better one. An Alien movie... with the Alien barely in it and doesn't kill anyone... and the bad guy is the dead masked alien from the first movie... and none of it makes sense.
MINI Kitch yesssssss!
So Fassbender made the Aliens but they were on Earth 200,000 years ago?
Phoebe doesn’t just play guitar, she’s a massage therapist
I relate to the randomness of friends in my close group.
We have a physio therapist, an engineer, a rich Asian, a guy who had a kid at 17, a woman who survived on selling mushrooms in bc for 3 years, a lead in a local metal band, my sister who lived in South Korea for a decade, I'm a specialist who builds and designs analytical gas measurement systems, and my wife who was approved for disability because of multiple mental illnesses.
People be different. But United by a dark sense of humor lol.
That’s impressive
Wow, cool bunch ❤️
"Isn't that going to alienate a large group of overweight people?"
"Well look at it this way... Isn't every group of overweight people a large group of overweight people?"
“Awesome, relatable- “
“Yea like there is one of them is a paleontologist named Ross,”
“Wait what? “
“His name is Ross”
“No hes a paleontologist? At least it’ll be interesting “
“No he’s the boring one.”
It took me a few seconds but when I got the clap thing it was perfection!
