21 Problems Only Friends Fans Will Understand

10. Comparing Real Life To The Show

NBC

'Haha, it's just like on Friends when...' There's a very high chance that if you're a fan of Friends, either you or someone you're with has said words to the effect of those above. It's one of the great things about the show; no matter whether you're in your teens, your twenties, or you sixties, there's going to be something there that you can relate to.

Whether it's going out for an expensive meal, getting a spray-tan, bad dates, struggling for work and money, singing inappropriate rap music to your child, finding out your first kiss was with your big brother, or saying the wrong name at the alter, there's almost certainly an experience you've had in your life when you've stopped and realised that it was just like something that happened on the show. Only when they did it, it was really funny.
