The iconic American sitcom ‘Friends,’ which originally aired from 1994 to 2004, remains popular in reruns and on streaming services like HBO Max. A recent review by Collider suggests the show has not aged well, identifying problematic elements within its humor. The criticism centers on jokes that rely on homophobia, transphobia, gender stereotypes, and fat-shaming – topics now considered insensitive. The publication has compiled a list of instances where the show’s comedic choices would likely be viewed as unacceptable by contemporary standards. Despite its continued viewership, the series is being re-evaluated through a modern lens, highlighting shifts in societal norms over the past three decades. Star Channel is currently broadcasting the first season, prompting renewed discussion about the show’s legacy.
