They did that for every character i think, like Chandler being sarcastic, joey being a glutton, Phoebe being phoebe...

It's as equal as her competitiveness

Yeah except here it wasn't totally burned out and not to sound like a hater, but frankly, annoying. Not exclusive to her tho, literally every sitcom character has that one cheap overused trait used for "jokes"

Her first character trait used to be “fat”

'Was' being the operative word. Don't do plastic surgery kids.

They are all good looking but I think Phoebe is angelic. She has great cheek bones and I think that helped her age so well

This is exactly why I live the first two seasons

Tyler Hankins & Justin Pullin

I wonder what becomes of the two in future seasons…

You realise this is a tv show…

Yup

It is hidious. Also green and pink don't go together...

Its a tripping hazzard in the new spot

Eh Courtney Cox isn't as beautiful as she was she had too many face lifts Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow are still beautiful though

@@thevampirecielphantomhive2342 botox ruined that woman from aging gracefully. it’s a darn shame.

Hugsey was the cutest friend and dont bother trying to change my mind!!🐧

@Mark Johnson, she was, especially in the first few seasons.

during season 1 definitely

It is NOT OCD. They’re mocking orderliness. The leftist Woke are, in this and almost all other shows. And now they have anarchy instinct in the doped up youth. Plus they have the porn musicians like Miley Cyrus and Beyoncé deriving them through Sexual Promiscuity hedonism. This is POTENT corruption of murals from the endtime 666 movement, the godless commies whose high priest is Obama. Conspiracy theory ? You can’t know that unless you test what I just stated for veracity. Do that, and you’ll find out that’s it is all to real, the Marxist takeover.

im going to cry. Thanks...

The ‘i like maintaining you’ line and the way she melted was ADORABLE

Such a good moment, along with Chandler easing Monica's mind about her massages.

Dude was a legit stalker

Chandler knows Monica best?

@@greatsave7 Tyler Hankins knows Justin Pullin best? Luis Luciano broinlaw DaniellePullin sister!

@@greatsave7 yes.

Especially Chandler

Bc she such a control freak too

@@usasstar The cups and ice was my favorite moment.

Lol, yea.. Phoebe is the only one who clashed with Monica in that regard. Boys and Rachel left M to her devices and enjoyed the perks of having a Mom in the group.

So true

How did you reach this conclusion?

@@romigeorge7762 I mean, it's literally clear on the show-

I mean he was the first born, their son, and the sick baby who nearly didn't make it, he was SPECIAL to them.....as they nearly lost him. They loved Monica but she was always second I remember the episode where they used her baby stuff to stop the flood in the garage and spared Ross's baby stuff!

@@caramelbilquees I wonder how could they focus on the minute details even though it was a funny show..!

She really took care of each and everyone. The glue that held the group together.

@@itmeeeez exactly even tho she might be over reacting or a little ocd she still one of the characters who really cared for her friends and made sure they're happy

Still bossy af though.

Best show ever? It's up there in the top 5.

Gilmore girls as well

@@chematease......5535 I haven't really tried to watch that as the mother and daughter strike me as smug sorry.

​@@chematease......5535omgg yes I love that show ! ❤

Phoebe is my favorite character in Friends

Which episode was that??

@@winxclubflora8446 season 4 episode 6

It's more than that. OCD comes with a lot of intrusive thoughts and rituals, it's closer to paranoia, while OCPD is more about an obsessive need for control over everything, thinking your way is the best and anger issues over it. OCD is more about fear than anger. I wouldn't say it's fair to say that people with OCPD have little awareness that they have it, because I sure do. OCD and OCPD are both hard disorders to control, but in different ways.

Being neat doesnt make her or people OCD. But having a sleepless night about the shoes does come under the "compulsion" category you talked about. So Monica definitely belong in the OC Spectrum based on this episode.

@@nchl5340 right exactly.

This is probably caused by her mother's constant criticism.

@@nchl5340 The writing is setting it up so that responsible orderliness is easily conflated with a disorder. They’re aiming at the conservatives so as to make them despised for having OCD when they act responsible. That’s what that “Karen” slur is also all about. It is a fact that ... Any, all, behavior that is cultivated by choice naturally turns into a compulsion such that you feel uneasy when there’s a failure to adhere. They’re exaggerating it on Monica here for the purpose I mentioned of demonizing responsible people. This is how the Obama commies fragmented America. Now they’ve taken it over for Marx. End times. The 666. Prophecy being fulfilled.

And why she moved out of the apartment (secretly thought at first).

2:43 🤣🤣

Foreshadowing Courtney Cox’s movie career as Gale Weathers

Didnt he did stress a lot during it?

I think it was based on her real life traits too.

But at the same time, without the ottoman in its proper place, people would fall lf the chair. Sorry, that's just the law!

She has chairs too, you know...

I doubt that she would have a problem with moving the ottoman for a while and then putting it back in its place

@@faerieliana Nah, Monica is a total control freak. Its either her way or its wrong.

Haha I love how much you've thought this through! I think all of us would've loved to have been the 7th friend, it's such a great friendship group albeit a TV created one. Monica's apartment is beautiful too. I feel kind of sad knowing it was all a set and not real. For years I thought it was a real apartment in new York that they somehow filmed in, rather than a TV sound stage in LA. The prop and set departments did an amazing job and making it all look so real.

@@katec9893 Thank you very much for your nice comment... Some say Gunther and Janice are kind of the 7th and 8th friend. I don't mind being the 9th... I too thought it was filmed in NY when I was younger... In real life I think this kind of friendship is rare.

@@pepperann1429 OK well I'll be the 10th friend, we'll need to get some more comfy chairs 😂 Yeah I think it is pretty rare to experience something like this, it's probably why the show was so popular, because most of us would love a genuine friendship group like this, it would definitely make life better. I was in friendship groups in my 20s but once people got partners it changed the group dynamic and it wasn't the same. I was also the girlfriend of a man in another friendship group but I wasn't very happy in that group or relationship. I guess that's life, people grow and change. It sounds like the cast were genuinely friends which is lovely.

I wish I could do that. I have to take out the trash.

I can relate. I don't even like using the bathroom.

That isn’t ocd

I feel you. I used to be like that but I remind myself that I can wash my hands or wear gloves etc. then I just do it, the best way is to just do it. Im always over thinking so I found myself one day just starting to do things that once bothered me- you can do the same 👌🏻

@@deana6410 Yes it is. People with OCD can absolutely have obsessions centered around cleanliness. However, Monica very clearly doesn't have OCD.

2:30 😭😅😂😂😂

Most likely. Also, i don't think she wants to impress her mother. She merely wants to be acknowledged by her.

Also, Monica's mother was pretty much treated the same way by her mother (Nana). And this is pretty common in real world too. We (majority of people) just repeat what we have gone through (accepting that it was our mistake and its our destiny/fate stuff) our childhood with our own kids.

That's why people (victim of) with trauma/ abuse history will most likely repeat the same things with their own kids or people they are close to. Sad but true.

Yeah I agree, Monica was a nice character early on but became an over the top, somewhat annoying stereotype in later season. It would've been better for the character to have more nuanced character development. I'd have liked to seen her have therapy about her family dynamic and how it affected her with Ross being the Golden child.

OCPD and OCD are completely different. OCD is an anxiety based disorder characterized by unreasonable thoughts and fears that lead to compulsive behaviors. OCPD is not anxiety based and is more like perfectionism to a problematic level.

@@Chiller-pc1dv I see and agree. But there is definitely an overlap.

Ocd is a mental illness…I just wish people would stop vilifying them and read about it…even I like my house to be neat and clean and I don’t like people messing it up…that doesn’t mean I have ocd

And yea I think it’s more like that obsession to other people is annoying…but the other people don’t really understand what goes on in their heads

I have ocd! I got diagnosed officially when I was 13. Before that, people assumed I was simply bossy (well, I am bossy). But it got to a point where I would cry and have anxiety attacks over things like pencils not facing the same direction when in a little cup, or the same thing with matches in a match box! Now I am 21, I am medicated (although I'm trying to get off of it!), and have a much better handle on my ocd Unfortunately I understand why people with ocd tend to be vilified in movies and media. On bad days, I can reach the point where I'll yell and be mean simply because I "want x the way I want it." It's hard to explain to someone without anxiety or ocd that I "want x the way I want it" because I feel a sense of impending doom otherwise. Monica is my fave character on friends just because I feel like I can relate to her the most! I know what it feels like to make people annoyed or upset because I let my ocd brain take over and make me defensive and aggressive. But if you have the right friends and family, they'll love you in spite of that and be able to tease you, making something that feels huge inside your mind appear as small and harmless as it really is :)

...What do you mean by living with people like Monica?

@@Chiller-pc1dv people who are correcting every little detail around you, try to boss you around, and can't let go if things don't happen their way.

What you are talking about is ocpd (Obsessive compulsive personality disorder) and that’s just what this show is mostly showing too. But OCD is a living hell for people with the disorder and it’s different. For people with OCD it can be many different things but it’s intrusive thoughts that cause a lot of and compulsive actions to calm the anxiety. This could be thoughts related to germs and falling ill, accidentally running someone over or harming someone else, forgetting to turn off the stove and burning down the house, so they have to keep checking to make sure they did it. Now I mean with Monica and the shoes that’s kinda like it but I think it would be more around, I have to move those shoes cause if I don’t it might spread germs to the carpet and then it might get someone sick and they will die and it would be my fault. Or something like that, Not just that she doesn’t like the shoes on the carpet. OCPD is where people need everything orderly and exactly how they want it. And they wouldn’t see anything as being wrong with this whereas people with OCD are caused extreme discomfort by not giving into compulsions because they think something bad will happen. I have OCD and it mainly just effects me being caught in an endless loop of compulsions and reassurance seeking. It has to do with uncertainty vs ocpd has to do with wanting things a particular way just cause it’s what you are supposed to do. OCD is more akin to an anxiety disorder, it’s always joked about but the disorder sucks ass, I hate it.

It says 1x06 in the description

I mean to me it was simpler it was just Parton her personality something she's known for .. I didn't think it was like clinical something going on .. she just likes things. A certain way ... I have so much to reevaluate and look at sheesh
