Could they BE any more cutting?
Much like Joey’s best intentions to fight turning 30 – why God, why!?!? – a sure sign that you’re getting old is the fact that younger generations are only discovering Friends now. Much like any TV show or film, the sitcom was a very much product of the ’90s.
Demi Moore haircuts, the novelty of owning a laptop, Hootie and the Blowfish gigs and Baywatch all featured in the lives of the world’s most beloved New Yorkers.
Not to mention the Beavis and Butt-Head marathons while having a Cheeto stuck to your face.
This being said, as reported previously, plenty of younger generations that are only seeing it for the first time have accused it of being homophobic and odd.
Rewatching Friends on Netflix and damn! Never realised just how annoying and homophobic Ross was with stuff like this! Did always love Carol and Susan though, should have known 😅🏳️🌈 https://t.co/J3mrO7Uexx

Granted, what’s accepted as the societal and cultural norms will change with every new generation and certain aspects of Friends haven’t aged too well.
This being said, Netflix decided to address these concerns by reimagining potential Friends plotlines for the modern generation.
FRIENDS 2018 PLOTLINES
-Joey eats Tide pods, goes to hospital (guest star Ellen Pompeo)
-Chandler won't shut up about how funny his Vines were
-Ed Sheeran cameo interrupts Phoebe's Central Perk set
-Ross gets everyone into Bitcoin
-The One Where The Gang Realizes Their Privilege— Netflix (@netflix) January 24, 2018
Do you think Netflix are sorry?
