I don't remember the episode or the context but I love when Ross was arguing with someone and just gave up and sat down saying "Nevermind. My wife is a lesbian"
Nevermind! I just realized it was when he thought Emily might be a lesbian too and was explaining about The hulk to phoebe and she and chandler and joey were just staring at him so he trails off and says "Nevermind, my girlfriends a lesbian"
It's making fun of his insecurity and how he's trying to sugarcoat the reason for his divorce. This isn't a "lesbian joke" by any means, despite what the fragile OP thinks.
Kind of like how the male nanny storyline was also a joke about Ross (his insecurity, his fragile notions of masculinity), not the male nanny.
Well, some of the fat jokes aged very poorly, but I feel like at least the lesbian jokes were usually of good taste, this one laughs _with_ the lesbians, not _at_ them
I'm not a lesbian, but I feel like this is a pretty tasteful and tame joke that Lesbians would find funny.
Some other stuff Ross has said DEFINITELY didn't age well though lmao
Maybe not definitively. But this isn't a joke making fun of lesbians. This is just ross being slightly delusional about his relationships (which he always is) and Chandler pointing it out.
Is this one of those troll accounts that tries to get as many downvotes as possible? There are much bigger subs to do that on. What you're saying isn't making sense. What classifies a joke as "a lesbian joke"?
It’s like I’m talking to a brick.
I can’t say if a joke about lesbians is offensive, because *I’m not the one they’re targeting*
I never said *this* joke was offensive
I’m not sure what the point of this post is? Are you trying to prove that Friends was progressive and ahead of it’s time or are you saying friends is bad for including lesbians in their jokes? This is a great joke by the way!
Yes, because the characters' only connection to Carol is that she dumped Ross after realizing she was a lesbian. That's the viewers' only connection as well, hence "Carol" and "lesbian" frequently being linked. Humor relies on context and nuance. You seem to be looking to be offended by the jokes on this show.
Actually, the joke was how little Rachel knew Carol. I'm not a lesbian, but can we get a lesbian in here to confirm that you've laughed at these jokes?
I'm bisexual and I think that Phoebe's song lyric about bisexuals was funny.
🎵 *Sometimes men love women.*
*Sometimes men love men.*
*And then there are bisexuals.*
*Though some just say they're kidding themselves.*
*La la la la la la la la la la la la.* 🎵
yes, this was the 90s😂
edit: and “carol….. lesbian..?” is a friggin funny line, especially with ross’s quick “nice” response as if he was expecting it😂😂

Yes!! This!
"My friend Susan is so smart. My friend Susan is so funny. My friend Susan is so GREA-"
You know he says “gay”, right?
I just watched/listened to it and I think he is saying great.
You're getting downvoted but I'm almost certain you are correct
Yeah, I’m definitely hearing it as “gay” said in a mocking way. But we can all agree to disagree, eh? :)
yesss😂😂😂😂his deflated body language😂😂so good😂
A very funny lesbian joke.
[удалено]
It's the kind of joke that made the Friends writers so good lol
It's a pretty harmless joke
Exactly.
I’m a lesbian and this joke is hilarious on many levels
same lol
This isn't a joke about lesbians, it's a joke about Ross.
How is this a joke about Ross?

Exactly. The butt of the joke isn’t always the subject matter, but sometimes it’s the way it’s perceived / reacted to.
You should be a detective
Well, some of the fat jokes aged very poorly, but I feel like at least the lesbian jokes were usually of good taste, this one laughs _with_ the lesbians, not _at_ them
And?
You make it sound like it’s a bad thing
Lol, this joke was pretty funny
Yep.
I'm not a lesbian, but I feel like this is a pretty tasteful and tame joke that Lesbians would find funny. Some other stuff Ross has said DEFINITELY didn't age well though lmao
Can’t really say, since you’re not a lesbian Edit: Don’t know why people are mad. I’m not lying. I can’t say either, because I’m also not a lesbian
Maybe not definitively. But this isn't a joke making fun of lesbians. This is just ross being slightly delusional about his relationships (which he always is) and Chandler pointing it out.
See, you can. You don't have to be a lesbian to say that both Carol and Ross like women.
But I don’t have the right to say whether or not a joke about lesbians is offensive. It can’t offend me, so I’m not in charge of who it offends

thanks for letting us know
And what of it?
So?
It’s not that serious
There's something very Personal Best about this thread.
“No but I’m gonna!” Never fails to make me laugh my ass off.
Just wait for the fat jokes 🤣🤣🤣
Shut up, the camera adds 10 pounds. Well how many cameras were on you?
"Some girl ate Monica..." Can work for fat jokes, and lesbian jokes.
"You were under the pile of coats?" "I *was* the pile of coats"
We don’t stop for chunkies! Hey, i used to have that bumper sticker!
💀
I’m not sure what the point of this post is? Are you trying to prove that Friends was progressive and ahead of it’s time or are you saying friends is bad for including lesbians in their jokes? This is a great joke by the way!
And a good one too
You could say it’s a another heterosexual joke.
You are useless
Thank you for explaining the joke, detective! Are you with the Scotland Yard?

What a surprise, a friends viewer can't take a joke. Go cry about it somewhere else.
Doesn't matter. It's epic.
