It's pretty approachable and has a wide audience, so it's cool to hate on it so you can talk about how great your favorite obscure show is.

Pretty much the same reason people hate the big bang theory, it's friends blackface.

Yeah, it's definitely uncomfortable to watch now sometimes. Seinfeld is a bit the same way. The only one I can think of that handled it decently was Roseanne, and even that can come off dated sometimes. At least with Roseanne, though, they took those social issues and had characters talk about it so they didn't just exist in that universe as punchlines.

Really ironic given how the reboot turned out.

I always felt like that bit actually was funny and not mocking homosexuality in anyway. If anything, it's a joke about how insecure heterosexual men were at the time. IIRC, though, there were some other jokes about guys being gay and stuff like that. Could be mis-remembering, though.

Actually, a metric shit ton of actors were on the show before they got famous (and some were already famous);
- Emily Osment, Craig Robinson, Chris Parnell, Alex Borstein, John Lovitz, Adam Goldberg, Gabrielle Union, Dakota Fanning, Dermont Mulroney, Hugh Laurie, John Favreau, Aisha Taylor, Paul Rudd, Selma Blair, Leah Remini, Anna Faris, Steve Zahn, the list is freaking huge.

There is actually a lot more, but most of them were already super famous like Alec Baldwin, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Christina Applegate, Jason Alexander, Danny Devito, and Freddie Prinze Junior.

I seem to remember the episode with Elaine being that guy's beard made him incredibly sympathetic. I could be wrong, though.

It's more like some of the humor is from a time when making fun of gay and transgender people was seen as acceptable and nowadays it just looks like they are being insecure jerks for no reason. I'm not sure why people are having an issue understanding that.

Was that the one where one of the girls furnished their apartment on noticed that someone else's was entirely decorated like the Pottery Barn window display? Or that someone had the cabinet or something from the display?
Or was that Seinfeld?

yeah, that's pretty much it.

something about Rachel buys a table, but Phoebe is all hipster about corporate devils, so Rachel tells her it's from a flee market or something, and eventually they get like all the things, and then Phoebe loves it.

i wonder how much money they got from Pottery Barn for that

As someone who has watched every episode at least a dozen times, I honestly don't think that would be the case. I'm sure some shitty writers would have articles up condemning it on specific sites, but they'd be the minority by far.

Except maybe George staring down Deniese Richards shirt when she was supposed to be a 15 year old, that probably wouldn't fly. And maybe the Puerto Rican parade, but that was a bad episode regardless
