Born after friends began: Under-25s, why you love it and how it aged

Feb 16,2020 6:23 am

Friends will have 25 to September 22

Ross , Rachel, Joey, Monica, Chandler and Phoebe are there for us for 25 years. They are Still There for us, and there is no trace of them anywhere soon.

Generation Z seems to be just as in love with their Friends , because their parents were when the sitcom first hit screens on 22 September 1994.

It was the UK's favorite streaming show in the year 2018, and it was from Netflix, the second most popular show in the United States last year (behind The Office ). The US streaming rights have just been poached by the HBO-Max for $425 (£339m), although The Show is expected to stay on Netflix in the UK.

Then there are the spin-offs - a new Lego set Friends , 25th anniversary screenings in US cinemas, and pop-ups, where You can visit Perk replicas of Central and Monica's apartment. has introduced, a Friends -inspired fashion range.

The Show 's co-Creator, Marta Kauffman , said his evergreen appeal: "It is dark, it is not twisted, it is going to corrupt people. It is Comfort Food . "

Below are four large fans that are under 25, not born when The Show aired - explain why You love it, and what parts of the map have, in their old age, and which are not.

'has It never feel old'

Shanika Ormsby, 23, from Birmingham, watch Friends Every Day . "My Family is pretty annoyed," she laughs. "You 're like, 'Oh my God, again?' And I'm like, 'Yes!' I can never get enough of. "

she discovered the card when at the University. "I was at home during the summer and at 11 o'clock each day, a consequence on Comedy Central . Finally, I started sure I was in front of the TV, on 11. And Then slowly I wanted to see the whole Thing - starting with season one. And I've been watching ever since. "

The main difference between the 90s and today is the lack of smartphones, she says. "It's just the Technology is the way You can not write to each other and stuff like that, it makes it a lot easier. Rachel had texted Ross - " We are not on a break!'"

In many ways it was a simpler time. "You are all to communicate and attention to each other. In this age, everyone just SMS'd to your phone, or six of them around it would be to the table in Social Media . We would not get all the jokes that we have, because they are not in engagement with each other. "

other than that, keeps the card, she thinks. "I never saw it as old. "

the only criticism is the glaring lack of diversity in the cast was. "I know people who have told me, but it was never a problem for me," Shanika says. "I've still never bothered by it. They are the perfect cast and I wouldn't change that. "

'It is a form of self-care is' left-to-right: Sarah Goggin, Charlotte Elisabeth Yorke and Ally Retberg in Friendsical

Ally Retberg, 22, was already a huge Friends -fan, before she went for an audition to play Phoebe in Friendsical ("A parody of the musical about Friends "). She says: "I don't know if that's why I got the part but it definitely helped!"

You already knew that, "the ins and outs of every single character". You got the role, and The Show ran at the Edinburgh Fringe and is currently touring through the UK. "If anything, I think it made me love it even more," she says.

"When I tell people I play Phoebe, You go, 'Oh, there's a dispute'. I get really annoyed, because I don't go, 'no, she's a mess! It is just different!" She is very eccentric, and she sees things from a completely different point of view than anyone else. It is in their own little Phoebe world. She is great. "

The Show draws a wide range of ages, she says. "We have a number of younger people, tween-age to people who were in their 20s when it came out are now in their 40s and 50s. It is great that a wide audience because they have different reactions. "

Ally came to The Show by clicking it on E4 Every Day after school. "It's a really cozy program," she says. "I almost see it as a form of self-care. If I ever feel down, I'll hop into bed and see Friends , and I immediately feel better, and I think a lot of people relate to that.

"It's just so light-hearted and relatable. In today's world, everything is doom and gloom, but You can forget it when You Wake up Friends . "

'humour with deep stories"

Lekhika Chaudhary teacher proposed to see the Friends to help her to learn English, after which she moved to London from India at the age of 10 years. Now 23, she thinks, she rubbed her.

"I believe I won all of my sarcasm from Chandler," she explains. "My Sister laughs all the time, because, she says," they resemble that character so much!'"

her sister is 13 and is also a convert. "She looks at You and some of your best Friends to see it. The fact that You will see, even though it is before your time, pretty amazing. It is a timeless Thing . "

Lekhika is now a presenter on the W!zard-Radio, an online radio station for Young People . Young People relate to the friendship of the group set-up, and attempts to navigate life and love, she believes.

"Even if it is a recurring story that I can watch random episodes. I find I have no time to a full-on series of a TV show," she says. "And I also like how it is very light-hearted Humor, but there are also some really in depth stories that in some of the great things that You speak. "

life today is the same in most ways, but adds: "There are some things that You have to go in certain episodes, where, 'Oh, wait a minute, I can see how the life and people of Mature age have become since the 90s'. Some of the thought-processes are not yet confirmed. "It highlights the attitude to Chandler' s father, played by Kathleen Turner . "One Thing I don't like so much, as they are not as supportive of Chandler's dad, and so it is nice to see how the society moves and changes. "

"people in the school

talk about'14, grace Marsden, from Slough, Berkshire, is relatively new in The Show . Many of their girlfriends are also in it. "Sometimes it amazes me actually how many people see it," she says.

"Maybe, since it's on Netflix and it is accessible to a lot more of My Generation -that You walk into Primark and see Friends everywhere, and You hear people in school talk about some of the episodes. "

she adds: "I can relate to some of the characters sometimes. Obviously, they are quite a bit older, but with friendships, especially when You are younger, and go through the school, You much with relationships to other people. "

look, Some of the things dated back 25 years - especially the Technology . The period of "close to, but it is still far," she says. "In the episode" I saw The Other day, Monica took The Phone , and it was this massive block of The Phone . This was not so long ago, but people my age are not quite Old Enough to have experienced that kind of Thing , so sometimes it is fascinating. It is strange, but I like to watch. "

When grace was just beginning, she knew that her mother was a Big Fan of first times. "You had absolutely no idea that I possessed the entire video collection from your Friends , before You started watching Friends on Netflix," says mom, Alexandra Keane.

"I was The Mother , the go to Primark to, 'do You have Friends quotes on T-shirts!' - not realizing that it was the entire younger Generation , had Friends . I sobbed into my heart in The Last episode. "
