I was born in 2001 so I don't know if I'm Gen Z, but I 100% agree with you, all this woke stuff is out of hand. I wish we can go back to the 60s in terms of our economy and the growth to be seen during those times.
These overly sensitives wimps take all of the fun out of life. Sort of reminds of people who go to restaurants, nitpick the hell out of menu/food making it a nightmare for the servers and chef.
"You were the hermaphrodite cheerleader from Lomg Island?!" Is one of my favorite lines in the whole show 😂 but then again that entire episode is just gold
I’m gen z and I literally grew up watching friends with my mum and it’s the biggest comfort show for me. I can’t believe people actually find it offensive 😭

As a 15 yr old girl, good lord Brett hit this right on the nail, nothing can actually be funny anymore without being “offensive.” People are so sensitive to the point where anything can be offensive if you think about it hard enough.
Absolutely, I'm a 17 yr old guy and I've lost a good number of friends over the offense and lack of basic knowledge. It's nice to meet someone in my age range who's sensible :)
When I was your age we used to mock people for being so soft. Over ten years I witnessed things just slowly festering overtime. I'm trying to do my part as the older brother of three to keep them from becoming so fragile.
This comment offends me greatly, how dare you assume that everyone is uber sensitive, can’t take a joke snowflakes. You’re completely undermining my cognitive ability at the age I am at, and not only that, you put everything under one large umbrella that attacks all of us. Further more, you stating that you are a 15 year old girl insults me greatly, for it takes away my experiences as a 16 year old female smh. For all comedic sakes and purpose, this comment is a joke, please don’t shoot me haha.
I was born in 70's, and I remember when Friends came out. It was advertised as"pushing the boundaries" (my mom wouldn't even let me watch it) of what was acceptable on national TV. I totally got into Friends in my 20's, and my sisters and I still quote it today. I'm so done with Gen Z getting so offended by our generation of actually funny shows.
There is no left in the US. It was destroyed post WWII. Blue MAGA isn't the "left". The propaganda outlined in the Powell Memo from the 1970s has obviously worked on all of you. As an older Millenial, I'm ashamed of younger Millenials and Gen Z
Man I really thought than friends was ahead of wokeness which made me not enjoy the show anymore and there you go Gen Z is offended by the most liberal or even woke sitcom of the 90s
As a young adult in his early twenties, I'm ashamed at what this generation has become. Nobody can have fun anymore, and there's always going to be a problem, no matter how much you try to please these people. It's literally a lose-lose situation. You just can't win.
Well - as an older guy I just say: Don‘t give a frack. These people will loose their power, once the majority will stop giving them a stage by simply ignoring them.
@@kermit_the_frog1955 Dude exactly. I hate what this generation has become. Nothing but a bunch of woke, stuckup, and stupid people who lost all sense of the word respect, dignity and common sense. And what's worse is that this is what the younger generation will have to live with when they grow older.
Once they infiltrated my gaming hobby all hell broke loose. They don’t even play games but they started getting involved and cuz gamers are so welcoming and welcomed them with open arms they started wanting everything changed and told us we are problematic.
I am a genz and I love friends so much! it saddens me that such a large portion of my generation cant take jokes anymore because it leads them to missing out on this absolute classic!
My hubby and I watch Friends all the time, and when they make a joke we always say "there is no way this would fly now" for this EXACT REASON; everyone is so sensitive. Ridiculous.
The Brad Pitt/ Thanksgiving episode is an absolute classic. I didn't even know it came out only two months after September 11. Can't imagine how much people needed something funny to unwind to during that time.
There was an episode with Chandler and Monica made during or just after 9/11 happened. That episode got heavily edited later. You can still watch the deleted scenes on YT.
So I'm not sure if you know, the planned episode for Chandler and Monica's honeymoon at the airport was Chandler making a joke about a bomb at the airport or something. Then 9/11 happened, the writers did not want to make that joke and rewrote it. But I'm sure if you google it, you might be able to find the original part. The writers were considerate of people's feelings for that time. I don't think they could have predicted how backwards the world would have gotten.
It always gets me when people talk about how problematic and sexist it is that Ross didn’t want his son playing with a Barbie, when the whole message of that episode was that Ross was wrong and everyone was telling him how stupid he was being. Like we can’t even spread a good message without that being “problematic.”
but thats the general thing with everything. pretty much all bully stories end with the bully getting his lesson, like nelson against bart for example. but these some people only focus on the bullying part and that it shouldnt be shown anywhere, even on animated fictional tv show. these people are the christian fundamentalists we had in the 80s and 90s who reviewed every movie and game with "its violent and blashemous, doesnt mention faith and god enogh 1/10. ban this thing". thing is everyone laughed at those people but if you joke at these woke people at least in public you might get criminal consequences
@@CLairsoftFTW Exactly, and when you realize that you see just how long Hollyweird has been propagandizing us and attempting to indoctrinate our kids. In other words, they've always been groomers, people just didn't always see it.

Growing up in India, friends has been a huge influence to me and many Indians. It was a door to the western world to many. The show taught me how to speak better English, normalized the things which were a taboo when I was growing up. Now these gen z are so close minded and don’t know how privileged they are. Today friends is offensive. What’s next? The saying “apple a day keeps doctor away” is offensive to apples or doctors?
I'm being raised by two of the most wonderful people I know. My parents know the things I need to learn, and the things I don't. They set boundaries and I'm not even a bit inclined to not follow them. Heck, when I got a phone; I had, and still to this day, have a timing on it. The limit made me not use it as much, giving me more room to hang out outside with friends, making much happier. My parents are very cultured; they showed me all the music, books, movies, shows, and musicals they watched and loved as kids. Friends being one of them. I admit, m a bit young to be watching it considering the shows sense of humor, but they talked with me about it beforehand, letting me know not to repeat anything and it dose not present a good example of a appropriate adult life. I started on it, and I LOVE this show. I'm not even halfway through the second season and Its been such a light in my life. There aren't many shows, or books, or movies nowadays that aren't pushing a agenda for people to follow, Its gotten so bad when my parents show me stuff I might like I turn it down to re-watch/read things that are just neutral, such as 'Starlight' Or 'Harry Potter'. Friends is not a bad show, people cherry picking the things they like is incredibly childish. Life isn't perfect, and it will never go your way all the time. The idea that everything you find slightly offensive should be banned at the expense of other people is insane. I am so glad I found your channel Brett, Its really nice to see there are other people besides me and my family that know the truth.
Don’t let them see All in the Family. They would blow a gasket. If I’m watching a show I don’t like I change the channel. It’s super easy to do. They should try it. Instead they just sit there and rage watch while taking notes on things that upset them. Sound like a bunch of morons.
As a black 23 year old male (he/him/prefer not to say) I’m happy to say that Friends is perhaps one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I took no offense to it and it pretty much got me through the first few weeks of the lockdowns. I don’t need representation crammed down my throat. I don’t need to be pandered to.
as a gen z, i love friends! i feel like all the things that make it ‘ridiculous’ are those things that makes it ‘friends’ without them i feel like it wouldn’t be as popular as it ever was/ is
Very well said by Jennifer. These people are showing their mental instability doing things like this. Also both those shows were amazing and off topic you get me every single time with those ads! lol
I’m pretty sure at this point that if I inhaled paint thinner for three years, I still couldn’t lose enough brain cells to be able to comprehend getting offended by a joke.
I binge watched Friends for the first time a few months ago. Upon finishing, my wife and I immediately started it again because it was good. Jokes are meant to be funny, not sensitive. Some of my favorite punchlines from comedians have been ones that make light of where I live, things I do, things I like, or my religious beliefs. That's why South Park has remained the gem that it is. Nobody is safe. They will make you laugh at everything and everyone.
@@henrybierman8431 you seem very needy for attention with the way you keep commenting the same sentiment again and again lol. Thanks for your subjective opinion.
@@henrybierman8431 I like to think that comedy becomes "objectively" funny when the mass populous determines it is. I also like to think that some people are objectively a stick-in-the-mud.
I don't bother explaining it to the idiots. If someone judges I just tell them we were the last generation with a sense of humor, open minded, accepting and least racist. What's sad is that it is our generation that raised these snowflakes. How the hell did GenX end up with cry babies for children?
once at my friends' house awaiting coffee I noticed the very first episode of Friends was playing on the telly (yes in the UK), and to my dismay the line Chandler says to Rachel "no, I think if you can invade Poland there's nothing you can't do" (I'm Polish by the way and that was my favourite line of the Pilot episode). thankfully I own the box set and no scenes are ever going to be cut from that! have a fantastic day everyone :)
I'm of the generation (Gen X) that watched "Friends" when it originally aired from 1994 - 2004. My friends and I never missed an episode each week actually. What Jen said is 100% correct. We just weren't that sensitive back in those days. Those who were overly sensitive at that time were considered crybabies and probably bullied heavily. It was just a very different time and society. What young people today need to realize is Friends wasn't made for them. Gen X and the Xennials were its key demographic, so the humor is going to reflect that. If it was meant for today's younger generations, it wouldn’t have been made back then. Also the humor would be quite different. The jokes they made in the series were considered really funny for that era. Things have sadly changed when it comes to comedy, though.
I mean there are still a LOT of 87-95 millennials and 95-04 gen Z who arent sensitive and liked the show. I notice its mostly 14-16 year olds who are a bit sensitive or 30 year olds lol.
@@cutiedopo17 true, I’m a millennial and I’ve never heard of millennials finding it offensive, only Gen Z. I mean the oldest millennials were 13-23 when it first aired so they were part of the target demographic.
I would quite sincerely love to have a life so comfortable, pampered and stress-free that I'd be able to spend my time and effort getting offended by old episodes of 90's sitcoms.
I'm 20 and just watched friends for the 1st time last week I found the first episode super funny and ended binging the entire first season in 3 days. Yeah definitely not bad at all just made in the 90s for a different audience like people really expect older media to cater to them so sad
What was that one show with the kids from Malcolm in the Middle who had a bunny plushie that lived in the basement? I think that one was pretty raunchy, if I remember correctly...
I was in high school when Friends was at its peak. It was as "safe humor" as it gets. It was literally the borderline between adult and child safe humor. The fact that it's controversial today is comic nonsense.
Gen Z is also too soft for the show Big Bang Theory too. I know this because Big Bang Theory was my favorite show in high school and I remember getting bullied by all of my peers over it yet all of my teachers absolutely loved the show like I did 😂😅
how exactly is this video informative. it's a video about a girl complaining about how others complain...go watch the news and read a book. that will be more informative than content like this will ever be.
@@physicsliver It's definitely more entertainment than informative, but there is arguement to be made that rather than "complaining about complaining" like you said, she is more pointing out cultural problems of the modern day. Definitely read a book, don't watch the news lol.
I’m a 90’s kid, so growing up I remember watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air, TGIF (Family Matters, Step by Step), Full House, Home Improvement, etc. They were sitcoms based on family values mixed with comedy. Then as I got older I got hooked onto Friends, and remember looking forward to must-see-TV on Thursdays; everyone was watching it! I’m Asian-American but I saw a bit of myself in Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe! It was just good ol’ comedy with lovable characters making fun of themselves!
I am 30. Friends is one of my most favorite shows, I binge watched it like a hundred times and it's just so great, funny, silly, great characters that you really get attached to. And it pains me so much that we can't have just a silly show like that anymore, everything now must be politisized, jokes are flat and it's just ... huh, sad.
I'm happy Jennifer is acknowledging this. Let's not forget her decision to completely cut anyone who didn't get the COVID vaccine out of her life though when we are treating her as if she has some semblance of being in touch with reality.
Imagine these people trying to watch "Married... With Children" with all of the fat jokes and everything else in it. They definitely wouldn't be able to get through it without blowing a fuse. 🤣
Hahaha... and why aren't they picking on All In The Family? You talk about a show that would make their heads explode... hahahaha! It will make Friends look like a soft kitten!
@@thefluffyboosh4899 I still love watching All In The Family! Just recently bought the complete collection. My kids have seen it with me. They're 19 and 21, so not really kids. But they find the show hilarious. 😁
Thankfully most Gen z I know seem to be discovering the show and loving it. Same with my brothers early millennial girlfriend. It was funny and I actually find the story of Chandler with his Dad heartwarming. He was made at the Dad for the affair and abandoning the family that would hurt anyone. I am glad to see Jennifer Aniston defending the show I always liked her
I think what made FRIENDS great for a lot of people is that is was family-friendly, but also had jokes that flew right over the heads of children... It was also something you can just sit and watch with family or friends... It has a lot of episodes, each about 21min long, so you can binge watch it and the show captured the life of 90's young adults in New York well enough that people could relate to it 🤷🏼♂️
I'm GenX and Friends was a modern comedy at the time. It certainly pushed post-sexual-revolution norms. All of them were serial daters and commitment-phobic.
Yes I'm 35 Now I watched Friends in Real Time Friends was funny for a reason the jokes the Puns all the farther jokes or any sexual innuendos were incredible so Gen Z needs to chill out
The reasons why most comedies these days suck is because they spend too much time in the writers room going through lines making sure they’re “offensive” or not rather than actually trying to make it funny, and for a lot of writers they’re starting to come out and talk about how sick they are of it, it’s so disgusting how as a society we need to cater to the small portion of people who do this’ every whim.
I'm 40, I remember when friends aired. I watched every episode then in reruns for years and just loved it. It's so funny. I didn't even know it was offensive until I saw this post. What the heck. 😂
Please. People are ridiculous. The only 'offensive' thing about the show FRIENDS is that there is NO WAY they could have afforded those apartments in NYC with those jobs. Even if Monicas relative had "rent control". Aint... No... Way.
What we really need is a more offensive society, which continues to get evermore offensive until these people get over it and then we can be the nice people we really want to be.
Ironically, we have the most offensive society now because of the cancel culture. There is nothing more offensive than the world these losers are creating. What we need is a society with a sense of humor that is sorely lacking in too many children and young adults.
Sorry but no. I agree that people are too sensitive, but actively go after people is not the answer. If we do that, then we're no better than the people who get offended.
That’s equivocating this so-called satire of the 00’s Comedy central and the holding up severed heads of current president with the long-standing tradition of a roast that goes back to at least Frank Sinatra and the rat pack. even Dr. David Wood has been going after Islam ruthlessly for decades and his channel just posted someone telling their conversion story in Arabic with English subtitles. The moment you ever take words no matter how harsh off the table, you leave room for resentment and anger to simmer, not to mention that you prevent integration into the culture.
I’m gen z. I grew up watching the Big Bang theory. It’s not friends but I find people at school saying some episodes are OFFENSIVE! The Big Bang theory. Jennifer Anniston is right we’re too sensitive.
I was born on 93 so o grew up with friends and I absolutely love the comedy show! Ok being a child then I didn't understand the jokes but I always rematch friends and it still makes me laugh today!
Hi Brett you are awesome as usual.. my sister has an intersex condition and that ep of friends is her absolute favorite episode.. people today are so soft its pathetic.. people need to realize comedy is offensive on purpose and get over it 🙈
@The Anti-Karen Oh, man. Absolutely. Well, Bill Burr has had some spicy standup bits. He's seemed to survive. They tried taking down Chappelle and failed. I sure hope I live long enough to see the day this woke cult goes away. I doubt it though. I actually feel sorry for the kids coming up. They don't know life without woke insanity. I was born in 77. I lived through some of our greatest years.
I loved the show friends growing up. I grew up in the nineties. I was born in 1991 and it's just an awesome show Jennifer Anderson is a really good actress and she's a pretty down-to-earth person.
I'm a young millennial and I gotta say I've seen this coming for a while even when I was in 7th 8th grade I saw people getting more and more sensitive even my far right boomer foster parents were part of it when they blame us millennials and gen z's let's not forget who gave us the green ribbons and participation trophies
Actually, participation trophys have nothing to do with it. Kids who got a participation trophy still knew they did not win. I hate hearing this dumb phrase.
@V I agree as I was one of the kids/teens how ever I do believe shit like this helped lay the frame work for the sensitivity crisis as I had known kids who genuinely took pride in the trophies and ribbons and any time I tried to down play said items my family would try and convince me I should take pride in it. While the trophies and ribbons aren't the entire source I do believe they played a part
@@enter8487 And why shouldn't you take pride that you showed up to a game and tried your hardest? The alternative is sitting at home doing nothing. Why shouldn't showing up and trying be recognized, especially from child who is taking in how the world treats them and gaining their sense of worth from that? If they try and don't win and are treated like losers, they might as well just sit home. And no kid thinks he is the best because he got a participation ribbon. It is a tier to the greater prize, the winning ribbon. Every kid wants the winners trophy but in the meantime a consolation prize helps recognize that they can get there. I do not think it is fair to assume kids think that just because they get a consolation prize, they are entitled to the grand prize. I mean, if it every kid got the same prize win or lose, I can see your point, but a consolation prize is not the coveted prize and winning teams ARE recognized. I don't know if you have kids who play sports/go to school, but this idea of every kid gets the same prize is nonsense. It does not happen. I mean, while we are at it, might as well not comfort a crying baby so they know early on you don't get what you want by complaining. These are kids. The most important thing for them is to know they are worthy and appreciated. Entitlement is only the result of EXTREME coddling.
I’m Gen X, and watched every episode of Friends as it happened, and I rewatch it over and over again and I LOVE IT. I was just a few years younger than the cast and could relate to so many of the storylines. If you weren’t around then you can’t place judgement on it. Times were different (better) back then and oh my god I wish we could go back to those times, when not everyone was offended BY EVERY LITTLE THING. Ffs, it does my head in 😂 This world’s gone to shit, and the sooner the woke brigade pulls it’s head in the better off we’ll all be. Could you BE any more offended over non offensive shit? Jeez.
Friends is one of the Very few Comedy Shows that actually made it World Wide on Tv in its Prime Age. Simply put everyone from my Generation just Loves Friends and were really sad when it ended.
I’ve been going back and watching old shows like this and they are great. The jokes were actually funny and they weren’t worried about offending people and they didn’t worry about including “politically correct” things. Everyone wasn’t as sensitive as my generation
I think it's mostly Gen Z from the US and other western countries😂 I'm from India and am 19 yo and acording to me friends is the best comedy show to ever exist, it's wholesome on another level with real relationships and not dumb 2 days relationship concept which the Gen Z of Western countries find offensive😂
It must be exhausting being someone who looks at everything to find something "offensive" about it, to the point that being "offended" is your primary personality trait. It's certainly exhausting being around them.
Friends wasn't just loved in America. People around the world loved the show. This noise coming from a small but powerful group has to be stopped. It claims to be moral but actually is poisonous.
I've been talking about this, giving examples of mor0nic young 'new' Friends audience for years now (too bad I didn't make a podcast about it), so nothing new here, in fact, Bill Maher talked about it years ago too, giving an example of how younger generations view Friends and anything old really, judging creators of the past by today's standards which is absurd. And it's so true. I'm a millennial (younger) who watched Friends through my teenage years and never felt 'offended' once (even tho I could, coz they made fun of everything on that show). That's why now when I watch clips of Friends from time to time online, I try to completely ignore the comments section because reading it literally makes you feel suicidal about how stupid these young generations of 'fans' are. Every time, it's guaranteed that they'll find something 'offensive' in every scene, and call some character 'toxic' because they obviously can't comprehend that this is a sitcom, a comedy, and everything about this show is written as a joke, intentionally exaggerated, because all comedy is based on hyperbole and exaggeration, and for the purpose of being offensive. Yet these offended fans write as if they don't understand that these are the rules of the genre and all for laughs. No, they analyze every dialogue, take every scene dead serious, and will write how they 'hate' this character or that or such-and-such a scene because something 'outraged' them. And they ruin every single thing this way, every enjoyment. Most Gen Z people are humorless, often stupid, and just plain don't understand how writing for TV works, especially for this particular sitcom genre. Jesus, they are insufferable. Maybe this is why there isn't any comic or comedy movie, or particular sitcom created by their generation, that is actually funny. Also, this suppose fatal flaw of Friends, that they weren't any black people on Friends is pure bs. They were many, many black people on Friends, just not main characters and you can't blame the writers for this. From the very first season, there were black people, for example at girls' or guys' parties in their apartments - you can clearly see them in the background as guests, so the show clearly suggested the main group of 6 had black friends but they were just background characters. But that's the thing: sitcoms have very short episodes and are usually focused on a small group of main characters in each, so they didn't have time for background characters. They still had Charlie who was a secondary character in seasons 9 and 10, Ross's divorce lawyer who was a recurring character since at least season 4/5, Joey's dance teacher in s6, two professors at Ross' university were black, Chandler's woman boss (who sent him to Tusla), the guy from Monica's building who loved her candy and flirted with her, the guy who lived in a building across and had a window just across from Joey's room window, and sing with Joey 'morning bells' each morning, the guy from the Halloween costume shop, and many others like that, in many episodes. They were all black! So that isn't just a 'few', and that for sure hell isn't 'no' black characters, as some people claim. And again: the writers are not blamed for this. The writers have a right to their particular vision, they simply didn't envision Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, or Phoebe as black, they also wrote based on their experiences, and they decided they want a main group of 6 white people. Those were their experiences, and it's completely believable. Just because you lived in New York City in the 90s doesn't mean 5 of your closest friends were all different races. In fact, it's normal that you could have 5 white closest- again: closest friends, and be friends with black/other races too, but they were not the closest, so we didn't see them often, it's that simple. Also, they didn't write like there were no black people in New York at all. They simply showed us a very small group of main Friends, who happened to be all white, and the focus was on them but the black people were there too, constantly, just in the background or in recurring roles. Sitcoms are naturally focused on a very small piece of reality. People also don't think, that it could have been partly because maybe the writers didn't find any black actors who were particularly funny, with such an insane comedic talent, fit the particular characters, and were relatively still unknown because the producers wanted to cast lesser-known actors from the get-go. And it worked, all 6 actors turned out to be very gifted in comedy and perfect for their roles. I must also add, being from Europe is still better because while this nonsense of being offended by everything has unfortunately reached us, I would say, most of today's easily offended liberals/far leftists are from the US. In Europe - it depends on where - but still liberals are more normal and balanced. For example, in my country (Poland), there is almost no problem with this at all (thank god). We have literally a very tiny group of these eternally offended snowflakes. Hope it will stay that way.
Once again, thankful for South Korean entertainment and how it hasn't been censored and poisoned by western woke culture 🤞 I mean, I've lost count on how much I've genuinely laughed and smiled, since I got into it. Especially when it comes to kpop idols 😊 Those boys are just, so naturally sweet and downright funny with their contend and personalities. They have become my happypill 😉☺️

Further more, you stating that you are a 15 year old girl insults me greatly, for it takes away my experiences as a 16 year old female smh.
For all comedic sakes and purpose, this comment is a joke, please don’t shoot me haha.

Here's one for you. MA.S.H character Spearchucker Jones. That name alone would make them seethe.
I was born in 70's, and I remember when Friends came out. It was advertised as"pushing the boundaries" (my mom wouldn't even let me watch it) of what was acceptable on national TV. I totally got into Friends in my 20's, and my sisters and I still quote it today. I'm so done with Gen Z getting so offended by our generation of actually funny shows.
I say all the time, and I'll say it again, NOBODY has smoother sponsors transitions than Brett Cooper. It truly is a marvel.
Really? I feel like they're kinda ham-fisted. Unless you're being facetious.
it’s so refreshing to see someone who isn’t far left and let it consume their life. we love you brett!
I mean, it's kind of all she talks about.
Is this even considered "left"? This is just woke nonsense.
There is no left in the US. It was destroyed post WWII. Blue MAGA isn't the "left". The propaganda outlined in the Powell Memo from the 1970s has obviously worked on all of you. As an older Millenial, I'm ashamed of younger Millenials and Gen Z

As a young adult in his early twenties, I'm ashamed at what this generation has become. Nobody can have fun anymore, and there's always going to be a problem, no matter how much you try to please these people. It's literally a lose-lose situation. You just can't win.
Well - as an older guy I just say: Don‘t give a frack. These people will loose their power, once the majority will stop giving them a stage by simply ignoring them.

@@kermit_the_frog1955 Dude exactly. I hate what this generation has become. Nothing but a bunch of woke, stuckup, and stupid people who lost all sense of the word respect, dignity and common sense.

There’s no such thing as pleasing everybody and people who get “offended” need to move on and get over it.
It’s called “growing up”
Once they infiltrated my gaming hobby all hell broke loose. They don’t even play games but they started getting involved and cuz gamers are so welcoming and welcomed them with open arms they started wanting everything changed and told us we are problematic.
I am a genz and I love friends so much! it saddens me that such a large portion of my generation cant take jokes anymore because it leads them to missing out on this absolute classic!
My hubby and I watch Friends all the time, and when they make a joke we always say "there is no way this would fly now" for this EXACT REASON; everyone is so sensitive. Ridiculous.
The Brad Pitt/ Thanksgiving episode is an absolute classic. I didn't even know it came out only two months after September 11. Can't imagine how much people needed something funny to unwind to during that time.
I was 10 when it happened and I had no idea what was going on lol
There was an episode with Chandler and Monica made during or just after 9/11 happened. That episode got heavily edited later. You can still watch the deleted scenes on YT.
So I'm not sure if you know, the planned episode for Chandler and Monica's honeymoon at the airport was Chandler making a joke about a bomb at the airport or something. Then 9/11 happened, the writers did not want to make that joke and rewrote it. But I'm sure if you google it, you might be able to find the original part. The writers were considerate of people's feelings for that time. I don't think they could have predicted how backwards the world would have gotten.
@@krisskross6074 I have it on DVD. So funny. The look on the TSA? officer as he calls them back into the interview room.

It always gets me when people talk about how problematic and sexist it is that Ross didn’t want his son playing with a Barbie, when the whole message of that episode was that Ross was wrong and everyone was telling him how stupid he was being. Like we can’t even spread a good message without that being “problematic.”
That’s not a good message though, Ross was right to not want his son playing with a barbie.
but thats the general thing with everything. pretty much all bully stories end with the bully getting his lesson, like nelson against bart for example. but these some people only focus on the bullying part and that it shouldnt be shown anywhere, even on animated fictional tv show. these people are the christian fundamentalists we had in the 80s and 90s who reviewed every movie and game with "its violent and blashemous, doesnt mention faith and god enogh 1/10. ban this thing". thing is everyone laughed at those people but if you joke at these woke people at least in public you might get criminal consequences

Growing up in India, friends has been a huge influence to me and many Indians. It was a door to the western world to many. The show taught me how to speak better English, normalized the things which were a taboo when I was growing up.
Now these gen z are so close minded and don’t know how privileged they are. Today friends is offensive. What’s next? The saying “apple a day keeps doctor away” is offensive to apples or doctors?
This was the case for my sis in law from Korea, she has seen it probably a thousand times.
I'm being raised by two of the most wonderful people I know. My parents know the things I need to learn, and the things I don't. They set boundaries and I'm not even a bit inclined to not follow them. Heck, when I got a phone; I had, and still to this day, have a timing on it. The limit made me not use it as much, giving me more room to hang out outside with friends, making much happier. My parents are very cultured; they showed me all the music, books, movies, shows, and musicals they watched and loved as kids. Friends being one of them. I admit, m a bit young to be watching it considering the shows sense of humor, but they talked with me about it beforehand, letting me know not to repeat anything and it dose not present a good example of a appropriate adult life. I started on it, and I LOVE this show. I'm not even halfway through the second season and Its been such a light in my life. There aren't many shows, or books, or movies nowadays that aren't pushing a agenda for people to follow, Its gotten so bad when my parents show me stuff I might like I turn it down to re-watch/read things that are just neutral, such as 'Starlight' Or 'Harry Potter'. Friends is not a bad show, people cherry picking the things they like is incredibly childish. Life isn't perfect, and it will never go your way all the time. The idea that everything you find slightly offensive should be banned at the expense of other people is insane. I am so glad I found your channel Brett, Its really nice to see there are other people besides me and my family that know the truth.
I can’t believe “Friends” is considered offensive!🤣🤣 I can NOT stand this generation!
I enjoyed Friends back in the 90's xD I tried to watch it again, but i realized how bad it was, but it's far from offensive.
The irony, considering that is it that show who greatly contributed to the mentality of today.
Friends is trash whether it's offensive or not. Honestly of all the shows to cancel this one is first on the chopping block
Off with their Z heads!! Pansies
Don’t let them see All in the Family. They would blow a gasket. If I’m watching a show I don’t like I change the channel. It’s super easy to do. They should try it. Instead they just sit there and rage watch while taking notes on things that upset them. Sound like a bunch of morons.
As a black 23 year old male (he/him/prefer not to say) I’m happy to say that Friends is perhaps one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

Was born in 97 and I've watched all 10 seasons of Friends about 40+ times and it's still funny
Nothing hits harder than life. So many young adults are going to struggle in theirs 30s and beyond with their thin skin and their delicate feelings.
Very well said by Jennifer. These people are showing their mental instability doing things like this. Also both those shows were amazing and off topic you get me every single time with those ads! lol
Married with children should be in the hall of fame when it comes to shows that could not air today
I’m pretty sure at this point that if I inhaled paint thinner for three years, I still couldn’t lose enough brain cells to be able to comprehend getting offended by a joke.
I binge watched Friends for the first time a few months ago. Upon finishing, my wife and I immediately started it again because it was good. Jokes are meant to be funny, not sensitive. Some of my favorite punchlines from comedians have been ones that make light of where I live, things I do, things I like, or my religious beliefs. That's why South Park has remained the gem that it is. Nobody is safe. They will make you laugh at everything and everyone.

The 90s were amazing
I was born in 1990 and quite often forget I can't speak the same way I did in the 00s or even early 2010s 😬 😅 😐
I watched this show when I was young, and I was never offended. I loved it.
I am a Gen Z who is currently in Season 8 of Friends.
And honestly, I was not offended once. It’s a great show.
once at my friends' house awaiting coffee I noticed the very first episode of Friends was playing on the telly (yes in the UK), and to my dismay the line Chandler says to Rachel "no, I think if you can invade Poland there's nothing you can't do" (I'm Polish by the way and that was my favourite line of the Pilot episode). thankfully I own the box set and no scenes are ever going to be cut from that! have a fantastic day everyone :)
I'm of the generation (Gen X) that watched "Friends" when it originally aired from 1994 - 2004. My friends and I never missed an episode each week actually. What Jen said is 100% correct. We just weren't that sensitive back in those days. Those who were overly sensitive at that time were considered crybabies and probably bullied heavily. It was just a very different time and society. What young people today need to realize is Friends wasn't made for them. Gen X and the Xennials were its key demographic, so the humor is going to reflect that. If it was meant for today's younger generations, it wouldn’t have been made back then. Also the humor would be quite different. The jokes they made in the series were considered really funny for that era. Things have sadly changed when it comes to comedy, though.
I mean there are still a LOT of 87-95 millennials and 95-04 gen Z who arent sensitive and liked the show. I notice its mostly 14-16 year olds who are a bit sensitive or 30 year olds lol.
@@cutiedopo17 true, I’m a millennial and I’ve never heard of millennials finding it offensive, only Gen Z. I mean the oldest millennials were 13-23 when it first aired so they were part of the target demographic.

I would quite sincerely love to have a life so comfortable, pampered and stress-free that I'd be able to spend my time and effort getting offended by old episodes of 90's sitcoms.
It would be great but you also need to share their rotten brain that isn't even comfortable to enjoy watching friends
That has to feel so boring and unrewarding though. I don't think you'd actually enjoy that.
I thought this was going to be about actual friends, which I also agree with. Gen Z is too soft to have real friends.
I'm 20 and just watched friends for the 1st time last week I found the first episode super funny and ended binging the entire first season in 3 days.
Yeah definitely not bad at all just made in the 90s for a different audience like people really expect older media to cater to them so sad
As a Gen Z… Friends is my favorite TV show of all time and I found all the episodes mentioned hilarious 😂
only 14 and have been watching friends for years! no one knows how to just laugh at themselves anymore and be happy
If they're so easily offended by Friends, wait'll they find out about Married with Children 😂😂
Or all in the family.
I was thinking of Seinfeld too
What was that one show with the kids from Malcolm in the Middle who had a bunny plushie that lived in the basement? I think that one was pretty raunchy, if I remember correctly...
@birdflesh Unhappily Ever After??
Three's Company would be offensive to them....and that's a liberal funny TV sitcom
I am Gen Z and I adore Friends , I have nothing to say to those other Gen Z people who find it offensive 😂
The odd thing is that friends at the time was classed as a very modern comedy.
I remember when people got offended in the 90’s early 00’s we just said “don’t like it, change the channel.” Why can’t we just say that? Anyone?
I was in high school when Friends was at its peak. It was as "safe humor" as it gets. It was literally the borderline between adult and child safe humor.
The fact that it's controversial today is comic nonsense.
Thanks for all your content Brett. Keeping us all sane in crazy times 😅
Gen Z is also too soft for the show Big Bang Theory too. I know this because Big Bang Theory was my favorite show in high school and I remember getting bullied by all of my peers over it yet all of my teachers absolutely loved the show like I did 😂😅
Brett only speaks facts and its so informative I'm glad I found your channel when you first stated

@@physicsliver
Lol “the news”
I’m a 90’s kid, so growing up I remember watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air, TGIF (Family Matters, Step by Step), Full House, Home Improvement, etc. They were sitcoms based on family values mixed with comedy. Then as I got older I got hooked onto Friends, and remember looking forward to must-see-TV on Thursdays; everyone was watching it! I’m Asian-American but I saw a bit of myself in Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe! It was just good ol’ comedy with lovable characters making fun of themselves!
Literally Gen Z can sues any show or anything before they were born.
At that time, the gen Z was living in underworld.
I am 30. Friends is one of my most favorite shows, I binge watched it like a hundred times and it's just so great, funny, silly, great characters that you really get attached to. And it pains me so much that we can't have just a silly show like that anymore, everything now must be politisized, jokes are flat and it's just ... huh, sad.
I'm happy Jennifer is acknowledging this. Let's not forget her decision to completely cut anyone who didn't get the COVID vaccine out of her life though when we are treating her as if she has some semblance of being in touch with reality.
Imagine these people trying to watch "Married... With Children" with all of the fat jokes and everything else in it. They definitely wouldn't be able to get through it without blowing a fuse. 🤣
Hahaha... and why aren't they picking on All In The Family? You talk about a show that would make their heads explode... hahahaha! It will make Friends look like a soft kitten!
@@thefluffyboosh4899 I still love watching All In The Family! Just recently bought the complete collection. My kids have seen it with me. They're 19 and 21, so not really kids. But they find the show hilarious. 😁
Thankfully most Gen z I know seem to be discovering the show and loving it. Same with my brothers early millennial girlfriend. It was funny and I actually find the story of Chandler with his Dad heartwarming. He was made at the Dad for the affair and abandoning the family that would hurt anyone. I am glad to see Jennifer Aniston defending the show I always liked her
I think what made FRIENDS great for a lot of people is that is was family-friendly, but also had jokes that flew right over the heads of children... It was also something you can just sit and watch with family or friends... It has a lot of episodes, each about 21min long, so you can binge watch it and the show captured the life of 90's young adults in New York well enough that people could relate to it 🤷🏼♂️
I'm GenX and Friends was a modern comedy at the time. It certainly pushed post-sexual-revolution norms. All of them were serial daters and commitment-phobic.
Yes I'm 35 Now I watched Friends in Real Time Friends was funny for a reason the jokes the Puns all the farther jokes or any sexual innuendos were incredible so Gen Z needs to chill out

The reasons why most comedies these days suck is because they spend too much time in the writers room going through lines making sure they’re “offensive” or not rather than actually trying to make it funny, and for a lot of writers they’re starting to come out and talk about how sick they are of it, it’s so disgusting how as a society we need to cater to the small portion of people who do this’ every whim.
Why are we blaming millennials and gen Z for being sensitive when its literally a couple 14 or 32 year olds that are always the LOUDEST?
As Gen Z I Watched Friends For Literally 5 times Straight and loved Every Bit of It. I ended up watching it More than 5 times
As a Gen Z'er, my family had Friends on the television the other day and I thought it was hilarious.
I'm 40, I remember when friends aired. I watched every episode then in reruns for years and just loved it. It's so funny. I didn't even know it was offensive until I saw this post. What the heck. 😂
Please. People are ridiculous. The only 'offensive' thing about the show FRIENDS is that there is NO WAY they could have afforded those apartments in NYC with those jobs. Even if Monicas relative had "rent control". Aint... No... Way.

What we really need is a more offensive society, which continues to get evermore offensive until these people get over it and then we can be the nice people we really want to be.
Ironically, we have the most offensive society now because of the cancel culture. There is nothing more offensive than the world these losers are creating. What we need is a society with a sense of humor that is sorely lacking in too many children and young adults.
Have to burst these bubbles so people can grow thicker skin
Sorry but no. I agree that people are too sensitive, but actively go after people is not the answer. If we do that, then we're no better than the people who get offended.
That’s equivocating this so-called satire of the 00’s Comedy central and the holding up severed heads of current president with the long-standing tradition of a roast that goes back to at least Frank Sinatra and the rat pack. even Dr. David Wood has been going after Islam ruthlessly for decades and his channel just posted someone telling their conversion story in Arabic with English subtitles. The moment you ever take words no matter how harsh off the table, you leave room for resentment and anger to simmer, not to mention that you prevent integration into the culture.
We need a true crime podcast to track all these transitions to commercials. She is killing it.
I’m gen z. I grew up watching the Big Bang theory. It’s not friends but I find people at school saying some episodes are OFFENSIVE! The Big Bang theory. Jennifer Anniston is right we’re too sensitive.

Watching it then it was so funny and re watching it now is even funnier. I am in stitches every time.
Friends is the least funny pile of trash I have ever seen. I would rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in my ear than watch any more of friends
I miss the 90s. They weren't perfect, but my god they were so much more fun. Society feels drained of all its optimism
Whatever, if they can't enjoy friends in their sin is the punishment, the show is hilarious and worth watching 20 years later, the cast is too good!
I'm a young millennial and I gotta say I've seen this coming for a while even when I was in 7th 8th grade I saw people getting more and more sensitive even my far right boomer foster parents were part of it when they blame us millennials and gen z's let's not forget who gave us the green ribbons and participation trophies
Actually, participation trophys have nothing to do with it. Kids who got a participation trophy still knew they did not win. I hate hearing this dumb phrase.
@V I agree as I was one of the kids/teens how ever I do believe shit like this helped lay the frame work for the sensitivity crisis as I had known kids who genuinely took pride in the trophies and ribbons and any time I tried to down play said items my family would try and convince me I should take pride in it. While the trophies and ribbons aren't the entire source I do believe they played a part
@@enter8487 And why shouldn't you take pride that you showed up to a game and tried your hardest? The alternative is sitting at home doing nothing. Why shouldn't showing up and trying be recognized, especially from child who is taking in how the world treats them and gaining their sense of worth from that? If they try and don't win and are treated like losers, they might as well just sit home. And no kid thinks he is the best because he got a participation ribbon. It is a tier to the greater prize, the winning ribbon. Every kid wants the winners trophy but in the meantime a consolation prize helps recognize that they can get there. I do not think it is fair to assume kids think that just because they get a consolation prize, they are entitled to the grand prize. I mean, if it every kid got the same prize win or lose, I can see your point, but a consolation prize is not the coveted prize and winning teams ARE recognized. I don't know if you have kids who play sports/go to school, but this idea of every kid gets the same prize is nonsense. It does not happen. I mean, while we are at it, might as well not comfort a crying baby so they know early on you don't get what you want by complaining.
These are kids. The most important thing for them is to know they are worthy and appreciated. Entitlement is only the result of EXTREME coddling.
I’m Gen X, and watched every episode of Friends as it happened, and I rewatch it over and over again and I LOVE IT. I was just a few years younger than the cast and could relate to so many of the storylines. If you weren’t around then you can’t place judgement on it. Times were different (better) back then and oh my god I wish we could go back to those times, when not everyone was offended BY EVERY LITTLE THING. Ffs, it does my head in 😂 This world’s gone to shit, and the sooner the woke brigade pulls it’s head in the better off we’ll all be. Could you BE any more offended over non offensive shit? Jeez.

Friends wasn't just loved in America. People around the world loved the show.
This noise coming from a small but powerful group has to be stopped. It claims to be moral but actually is poisonous.
I've been talking about this, giving examples of mor0nic young 'new' Friends audience for years now (too bad I didn't make a podcast about it), so nothing new here, in fact, Bill Maher talked about it years ago too, giving an example of how younger generations view Friends and anything old really, judging creators of the past by today's standards which is absurd. And it's so true.
I'm a millennial (younger) who watched Friends through my teenage years and never felt 'offended' once (even tho I could, coz they made fun of everything on that show). That's why now when I watch clips of Friends from time to time online, I try to completely ignore the comments section because reading it literally makes you feel suicidal about how stupid these young generations of 'fans' are.
Every time, it's guaranteed that they'll find something 'offensive' in every scene, and call some character 'toxic' because they obviously can't comprehend that this is a sitcom, a comedy, and everything about this show is written as a joke, intentionally exaggerated, because all comedy is based on hyperbole and exaggeration, and for the purpose of being offensive. Yet these offended fans write as if they don't understand that these are the rules of the genre and all for laughs. No, they analyze every dialogue, take every scene dead serious, and will write how they 'hate' this character or that or such-and-such a scene because something 'outraged' them. And they ruin every single thing this way, every enjoyment.
Most Gen Z people are humorless, often stupid, and just plain don't understand how writing for TV works, especially for this particular sitcom genre. Jesus, they are insufferable. Maybe this is why there isn't any comic or comedy movie, or particular sitcom created by their generation, that is actually funny.
Also, this suppose fatal flaw of Friends, that they weren't any black people on Friends is pure bs. They were many, many black people on Friends, just not main characters and you can't blame the writers for this. From the very first season, there were black people, for example at girls' or guys' parties in their apartments - you can clearly see them in the background as guests, so the show clearly suggested the main group of 6 had black friends but they were just background characters. But that's the thing: sitcoms have very short episodes and are usually focused on a small group of main characters in each, so they didn't have time for background characters. They still had Charlie who was a secondary character in seasons 9 and 10, Ross's divorce lawyer who was a recurring character since at least season 4/5, Joey's dance teacher in s6, two professors at Ross' university were black, Chandler's woman boss (who sent him to Tusla), the guy from Monica's building who loved her candy and flirted with her, the guy who lived in a building across and had a window just across from Joey's room window, and sing with Joey 'morning bells' each morning, the guy from the Halloween costume shop, and many others like that, in many episodes. They were all black!
So that isn't just a 'few', and that for sure hell isn't 'no' black characters, as some people claim. And again: the writers are not blamed for this. The writers have a right to their particular vision, they simply didn't envision Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, or Phoebe as black, they also wrote based on their experiences, and they decided they want a main group of 6 white people. Those were their experiences, and it's completely believable. Just because you lived in New York City in the 90s doesn't mean 5 of your closest friends were all different races. In fact, it's normal that you could have 5 white closest- again: closest friends, and be friends with black/other races too, but they were not the closest, so we didn't see them often, it's that simple. Also, they didn't write like there were no black people in New York at all. They simply showed us a very small group of main Friends, who happened to be all white, and the focus was on them but the black people were there too, constantly, just in the background or in recurring roles. Sitcoms are naturally focused on a very small piece of reality. People also don't think, that it could have been partly because maybe the writers didn't find any black actors who were particularly funny, with such an insane comedic talent, fit the particular characters, and were relatively still unknown because the producers wanted to cast lesser-known actors from the get-go. And it worked, all 6 actors turned out to be very gifted in comedy and perfect for their roles.
I must also add, being from Europe is still better because while this nonsense of being offended by everything has unfortunately reached us, I would say, most of today's easily offended liberals/far leftists are from the US. In Europe - it depends on where - but still liberals are more normal and balanced. For example, in my country (Poland), there is almost no problem with this at all (thank god). We have literally a very tiny group of these eternally offended snowflakes. Hope it will stay that way.
Once again, thankful for South Korean entertainment and how it hasn't been censored and poisoned by western woke culture 🤞 I mean, I've lost count on how much I've genuinely laughed and smiled, since I got into it. Especially when it comes to kpop idols 😊 Those boys are just, so naturally sweet and downright funny with their contend and personalities. They have become my happypill 😉☺️
these kids didn’t grow up to friends is why: we love friends
Currently the most important challenge is to find anything possible to be "offended" about. Much easier than accomplishing anything useful.
