Is it gay to be a man and own Friends DVD's?

No, it means I just don't find it funny. The jokes are as clear as day and are badly written in. The acting is excellent, the plots are relatively good, but the humour is about as funny as castration by pitchfork.

By the way, I don't like Blink 182. Their music mostly blows; I only really like the funny songs they do (eg 'F**k a Dog').

I can't see how you can say that Friends is badly written.

Well, maybe the Series 10, but the others were class.

It wouldn't have gone strong for 10 straight years if it wasn't funny and poorly written etc.

So you admit it's poorly written?

Oh and if you're after examples of long running programs which are badly written and unfunny you just need to look at all the Soaps we have on tv. Friends is similar (like a mini-soap for airheads if you will).

The Americans have a totally different sense of humour to us.

Therefore, in the states it can go strong, but in the UK it gets used to fill in spaces when Channel 4 can't think of anything else to show.

Meh.
It's just comfortable telly. I can watch any episode and be assured a good laugh or 2.

But it is very gay to buy things like this.
Think of all the better things you could buy - and it's not like Friends is ever going to be allowed to go away.

Home and Away, Neighbours...

Oh and Friends is crap.

Friends is 1337.

You bunch of squares.

Sorry, but you're all talking balls.

Neighbours? Go strongly?

Oh, sorry, forgot about the millions that they frequently rake in.
And our soaps?

They're massive successes in other countries, and accquire millions of viewers do they?

Oh, no. They don't.
You're all talking pizash.

You said it wouldn't have been going for 10 years if it was poorly written.

Neighbours has been running for 10 years and it wouldn't be high time BBC 1 if it wasn't proving successful; that is an example of a poorly written and for the most part acted program.

So either you have said the wrong thing or you are talking pish.
