44. friends is not comedy...
... it's fuckin propaganda. I like Laurel and Hardy. I don't like Buster Keaton. But I respect the man's comedic talent. I understand that he's not trying to make me "feel good", he's trying to make me laugh. There is an ocean of difference between the two.

Friends glosses over those aspects of existence which are genuinely humorous. It is anti-human.

It's bollocks.
