Day 94/95

Pages: 2095

I had planned to be highbrow and give a review of Gohatto (a slow burning Japanese drama about The Samurai and the effect of a homosexual affair) I watched last night on BBC 4. But instead I'm going to give 10 reasons why Ross is the best character in Friends.

1. He owned a monkey.
2. He was a paleontologist, the best job of the six.
3. As the series contiuned, Monica got shriller, Joey got dumber, Chandler got soppier, Phoebe got more conservative and Rachel got more like Joey. Ross became more insane.
4. Despite this, he still got dates with very attractive ladies.
5. ...Including one of his students, the sly dog.
6. "We were on a Break." God bless the writer that kept that phase a running gag well past the point it was still funny.
7. The character of Ross is so good, David Schwimmer pretty much played him again in Seven Days, Six Nights.
8. Ross and Rachel is a good combo for alliteration purposes.
9. He bests even Adam Sandler for comic shouting.
10."We were on a Break."

Running Gag of the Day:

We were on a Break.

Comic gold.
