Ross is bad. The End.
1 of 6Warner Bros.Ever wondered what people think when they watch Friends for the first time EVER in 2018? We asked a Friends virgin to watch The Pilot. Here's every weird thing they noticed. #1. The furniture is UGLY.
2 of 6Warner Bros.#2. Joey is very, very attractive. Like, insanely so.
3 of 6Warner Bros.#3. The outfits are like, so totally vintage.
4 of 6Warner Bros.#4. The hair is AMAZING. Also big. Very big.
5 of 6Warner Bros.#5. Ross is super annoying. Like, what does Rachel see in him? HE WHINES A LOT.
6 of 6Warner Bros.#6. When Rachel says "No I don't want you to buy me a hat, I'm saying I am a hat. It's a metaphor Daddy!". She basically invented that The Fault In Our Stars "It's a metaphor" scene.
