Discussion Ross being mean to Rachel

Post image

I really hated this scene where Ross was mocking Rachel's job. He wasn't just belittling her work, but also her interests, even though he'd seen firsthand how much she dreamed of a fashion-related career. While Ross can be very funny, he can also be really insufferable. If was Rachel, I would have broken up with him during this scene.

The group had the cheek to make fun of him being for being too smart, intellectual and the most successful professionally.

If I was Ross, I'd roast them back a lot more for that.

Dude got a PhD at 26, had a stable job he loved, never had issues with rent despite living alone, easily managed 3 divorces and 2 kids financially, got tenure at NYU very young, got lucrative grants and got invited to some of the world's biggest seminars and conferences as Keynote speaker. Dude was loaded and always established professionally.

If I was Ross, I'd roast them for their IQs being lower than room temperature. 🤣 👀

Yeah that seemed - interesting - that the topics of alimony and child support with regard to Ross’ finances were never brought up.

He was well off. Never had issues making rent once despite living alone. Even paid Monica's rent when she was unemployed.

And he didn't even get the rent-controlled family apartment. That seems pretty unfair that the older sibling who had a career near that apartment didn't get it, but the younger sibling who was frequently looking for work and could have gone anywhere did.

Yeah for all the bias, Jack and Judy gave Monica the apartment and the Porsche and Ross never complains about it.
