Aaron Alexander & John Humphrey return to revisit Friends — the iconic 1990s NBC sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman. Following the lives, loves, and hilarious misadventures of six young adults living in Manhattan, the series became a cultural phenomenon and remains one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time. In Episodes 7 through 12 of Season 1, fans are treated to some of the earliest defining moments of the show. Highlights include Ross (David Schwimmer – Band of Brothers, American Crime Story) struggling with his feelings for Rachel, played by Jennifer Aniston (Marley & Me, The Morning Show), and Rachel herself navigating independence after leaving her fiancé. Monica (Courteney Cox – Scream, Cougar Town) faces challenges in her dating life, while Chandler (Matthew Perry – The Whole Nine Yards, The West Wing) provides some of his most sarcastic one-liners. Joey (Matt LeBlanc – Episodes, Top Gear) hilariously pursues his acting career with surprising highs and lows, while Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow – Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, The Comeback) delivers quirky songs and offbeat wisdom. Particularly memorable and highly searched moments include Chandler’s awkward encounters, Joey’s acting gigs, Ross’s ongoing pining for Rachel, and Rachel slowly settling into life with her new group of friends. These episodes showcase the chemistry and comedic timing that cemented Friends as a defining sitcom of its era. Join Aaron & John as they react to and review these episodes, breaking down the comedy, emotional beats, and what made Friends such a timeless favorite. #Friends #FriendsReaction #FriendsReview #90sSitcoms #CentralPerk #JenniferAniston #MatthewPerry #MattLeBlanc #LisaKudrow #CourteneyCox #DavidSchwimmer #ReactionVideo #TVReaction #React #ReactTo #Reaction #Bingewatch #Bingeworthy #WeWereOnABreak Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 1, Episode 1 Reaction: https://youtu.be/-uzgcs-Xdxw Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7 Reaction: https://youtu.be/sGSZ6o5s9Lc Game of Thrones Season 1, Episodes 3 & 4 Reaction: https://youtu.be/gofVoat49dg Stranger Things 4, Episode 9 Finale Reaction: https://youtu.be/KiMHmhlTaRA 0:00 Checking In! 00:38 Friends 1x7 Reaction 15:54 Friends 1x8 Reaction 2843 Friends 1x9 Reaction 42:26 SHOPIFY 43:43 Friends 1x10 Reaction 55:39 Friends 1x11 Reaction 01:12:53 Friends 1x12 Reaction 01:28:35 Friends Season 1 Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Sketches & Short Films: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_zWuTRfBOUP3aYyIYRzc2y

David Schwimmer's physical comedy is unmatched in the series. There's times (like the washing machine hit) where he can reach Chaplin levels of funny.

i love that rachel isn't angry at pheobe or thinks she's lying or something she immediately trusts her and apologizes for paolo doing that to her. i think a lot of shows would go the route of trying to make drama between the two girls. it's always refreshing to see that's not the case here.
