Do you know what's something that I find really charming when we're talking about decor?

You know how like, obviously there are flashback episodes when it goes back to when they were teenagers, but the flashback episodes that are kind of like, oh, three years ago or five years ago, when it'll be like Chandler will have a goatee or something, where it's like they'll have the couch in a different place and they'll just kind of slightly rearrange the furniture in the way that people really do.

But also it's just like for the set as a decorator is they're like, yeah, that we're trying to give it like a sense of,

A sense of that this set, even though it is completely static, is somehow always in flux because real people live here.

This is something you and I have become obsessed with on this rewatch, which is that because Ross is like the awkward, geeky character, but actually, and as everyone always talks about, like his physical comedy is sort of just over and above anything that should be like possible in this century without having grown up on vaudeville first.

But like, it's incredible.

But also you can't be a great physical comedian without also being kind of a sexy person because like it's all about- Oh my God, there is a correlation.

You're so right.

There is a correlation because it's all about like an awareness of where your body is and isn't.

You know, it's just all about like the space you're filling, the spaces you're not filling and how to like negotiate that air together.

It's like physical comedy and dance.

Like it's all motion.

It's all expression.

God, you're so right.

And so when you watch, obviously the routine in Friends is like supposed to be this ridiculous thing that him and Monica share and it's like hilarious and we love watching it.

But you watch Courtney Cox perform and she looks like someone doing a bad dance routine.

You watch David Schwimmer perform it and he looks like somebody who's doing like a bad routine, but with incredible fluidity.

Like he clearly has some kind of dance background.

And then there's this other scene.

I was fighting with Monica Heisey about this.
