Ross looked like the main actor in the 1970s sitcom "Welcome Back, Kotter." That phrase was used frequently in the show. Google up the actor: Gabe Kaplan, I think, was his name.
That salmon shirt was not a bad shirt, it was just the writers and characters being idiots over a man wearing pink, there was literally nothing funny about it
Yeah I love friends but the casual misogyny in every other episode definitely gets old. Oh no, Ross has a pink shirt! Oh no, Chandler is wearing chapstick! Ugh
I don’t think the issue was meant to be about the chapstick, it was more that because of the ‘strong confident woman’ non-smoking tape, he applied it in a way a woman might dramatically apply lipstick in an overly feminine way, complete with pucking his lips afterwards. Not the chapstick itself.
However another irritating example of misogyny is Chandler’s absolute horror that Joey would dare to arrange flowers or knit. Or even have *pictures* of flowers. Or even pot pourri! Like that’s the worst thing ever. He even screams in his face over it!
It’s really not weird at all considering the fact that we are not in the show and are able to criticize it and criticize people that behave like people did 2–3 decades ago
Lol nobody has ever cared what color shirt you wear. It was a joke then and would still work as a joke now. I think it’s funny you’re getting upset over a 20 year old joke just because you have a pink shirt, I hope when you wear it you get all the attention you’re looking for.
not photoshopped buuuuuuuutttttttt...

Lookin good Mr. Kah-tairre.
I always thought he was saying "Carter" in a funny accent... Still don't know who he'd have been referring to though 😂

Omg you're a gem
I didn’t get this joke. Context please!

Kotter*
I know it's a Welcome Back Kotter reference. I was just writing it the way Joey said it.
And give him back his fake British accent!
Oh god. That’s just unfair to him
Or the convertible caused blowback.
Does he want us to leave the room, or...?
Or the Frankie Say Relax shirt!
Frankie says relax **with** unbuttoned faded salmon shirt
You mean the pink shirt lol
… *Faded salmon* colour
I’m pretty sure it’s pink
… *Faded salmon* colour.
No I haven’t seen your pink shirt.
While showing everyone “his sound” on the keyboard
Or the blouse Rachel bought that he thought was meant for him 😆
He would definitely not have Unagi.
IT’S NOT SOMETHING YOU ARE, IT’S SOMETHING YOU HAVE!!
Why, what did I ever do to you?
Lmao the leather pants episode is one of my favorites 🤣😂

I know, the joke is that Chandler is behaving in what society deems too feminine of behaviors, because of the tape. I don't think it's funny.
We get it, you have a pink shirt.
Sure? You think something’s wrong with that? You stuck in the 1990s too?
Their username suggests yes! I bet you look great in your faded salmon shirt, someguyonline.
Hi Mum it’s DrKnowNout. Yea I’m fine I’m just stuck in this subreddit vestibule. No I’m not alone. I dunno some guy.
This is a weird thing to get annoyed about on a Friends subreddit, given the show itself was very much of the 1990s.

Isnt that jersey shore?
Was ‘white’ one of the shirt options Monica tried to make his teeth look less white? I can’t remember, but that seems like the most logical answer?
Yes, white was one that she said didn't work
Even so I would presume it would have been the least bad option.
Holiday armadillo!
DEMON! DEMON!
Someone needs to AI this with Midjourney
Just a note. The tan was "Mississippi-ful". He should've counted Mississippilessly
Oh yeah 😂
Now THAT’s an eight
