Can you give examples of what aged really badly in friends? I don't remember it well enough.

  The behaviour of Ross and Joey was pretty gross and would be looked on pretty badly these days.

    > The behaviour of Ross and Joey was pretty gross and would be looked on pretty badly these days. Every main character on Friends was a caricature centered around a character flaw (or a stereotypical combination of flaws), so, yeah, any one of their actions would be looked on pretty badly now or at the time they were written, and Ross and Joey were pretty much the worst at the time. Sitcom characters are very often far from role models for their time.

    Half of that mumsnet list is "I don't like that humans like sex".
