I think most people say that it’s not because it’s popular to do so. The series has some genuinely funny bits.

      It’s a comedy show. Talking about is success is talking about it’s comedic performance.

        Real question: Could you show me a funny scene from friends? The first one that comes to mind?

          Late by all accounts, but the whole episode where Phoebe finds out about Monica and Ross and tries to mess with them is funny.

          I think there are probably some funny scenes in early series, too.

          Most of it is very surface level and bland though.

              I’m not making any judgement in regard to your opinion, or even disagreeing, I thought friends was lame as fuck. I’m merely pointing out that friends is overwhelmingly considered a comedic success, and that our opinion is by definition the unpopular one.
