- "Friends" is about.
They got um.
"Friends" is about not dating people that you're close with?
I don't know what "Friends".
Does it have a plot?
- Let's see if we can remember these classic TV shows.
- So where are we going now?
- What ended up happening?
- What did you ask me?
- You're about to watch some Long Stories Short.
- "The Office" is one of them shows where it's like,
I know it's funny.
The world tells me it's funny
but when I watch it, I'm like, "What is happening here?"
- They're just working in an office.
It's no plot.
It's like every episode, they're just working in an office.
Funny (beep) happening.
- I love "The Office".
I can tell you all about it.
It starts in Stanford, (buzzer buzzing)
Missouri, (buzzer buzzing)
Stratford, Missouri, (buzzer buzzing)
(bell dinging)
- So Steve Carell.
He plays Michael Scott.
(bell dinging)
And he is the boss at a paper company
called Dunder Mifflin. (bell dinging)
Dindle muffle. (buzzer buzzing)
- All he wants to do is be loved.
(bell dinging)
And he's the most infuriating character.
- Then everyone thinks he's literally the weirdest person
alive but they just like let him stay the boss.
- But then you can just tell it comes
from like this heartfelt place.
And you just always end up feeling bad for him.
Not in like a manipulative way either.
I don't think. (laughing)
Maybe he's been manipulating me all these years.
(evil music)
- And then there's the guy, I wanna say his name is Mike.
(buzzer buzzing)
Mike (buzzer buzzing)
and he married to the girl, (bell dinging)
Sharon. (buzzer buzzing)
I don't know if those are close.
- Jim and Pam. (bell dinging)
Jim and Pam. (bell dinging)
- They got a little office flirty going on.
They're sharing highlighters.
They're flinging paperclips.
- Pam is engaged, but leaves that boyfriend fiance for Jim.
They get married.
They have babies. (bell dinging)
- There's also Dwight,
who is a Rainn Wilson. (bell dinging)
- For him one and one isn't two.
For him one and one is like pancake.
Like it just, things don't even make sense.
But for him it always makes sense.
- We have Creed. (bell dinging)
We have Stanley. (bell dinging)
Not Stanley Tucci. (buzzer buzzing)
Another Stanley equally iconic.
- There's a guy on that show.
He's the HR guy, I think.
(bell dinging)
And he's like really awkward.
(bell dinging)
He came in and he was like,
"Oh that's the guy from HR.
"He's not really part of our family.
"But then again, he's getting divorced.
"So he's really not part of any family."
And I find it one of the funniest things I've ever heard
on that show.
And I was in tears laughing at that.
- They all like break the third wall
and like look in the camera.
And I'm like, startled.
I'm like, "What is going on?"
- I do that in real life.
Somebody say something to me crazy.
And I'll just go.
And they be like, "What was that?"
And I was like, "I'm looking at the audience."
Like there is no audience 'cause.
But in my mind there's always.
- Yes, "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".
That was the jam.
I mean, Will Smith is just so talented.
(bell dinging)
- In my mind, I am Will Smith.
Like, I look like him.
Mind you mirrors completely ruin that about me.
- He was in West Philadelphia.
Was it west?
Yes, West Philadelphia. (bell dinging)
Born and raised.
He was actually on the playground where he spent most
of his days.
He was acting, I can't do it. (laughing)
I can't do it.
- You know, we got in some trouble in Philly,
he was fighting on the playground
and his mom was like,
"You're going to Bel-Air with your auntie and uncle
so you can get your (beep) together.
(bell dinging)
- It was just such a culture shock when he got there.
Like they had, you know what I mean, butlers.
(bell dinging)
They had just like all types of money.
- But he slowly evolves and adapts
and you know, finds family.
(bell dinging)
- Uncle Phil, me and him share a lot of
you know, clothes sizes and belly shapes.
(bell dinging)
- Aunt Viv.
- There was first Aunt Viv
and second Aunt Viv. (bell dinging)
I'm not gonna say which one was better,
but we we know, we know.
But I don't wanna cause no beef.
They peaced all that up.
- But Hilary Banks. (bell dinging)
Hilary Banks. (bell dinging)
Everyone's like, "Oh my God.
"She's so stuck up."
Why, 'cause a woman knows what she wants, huh?
And her incredible outfits. (bell dinging) Hm?
- And also Geoffrey the butler.
(bell dinging)
Geoffrey was the glue, you know.
He was the butler, but he was the glue, you know.
He's like, "Um, uh Will." (laughing)
"Could you?"
No, that's not how he talked.
"Will, oh, mm." (laughing) (buzzer buzzing)
Really, now that was my impression of Geoffrey the butler.
Just "Will, Hillary, Vivian, Ashley, Carlton."
- I had the biggest, biggest crush
on Ashley, Tatyana Ali. (bell dinging)
Tatiana, if you watching this, what's up, what's up?
- He like has the nerdiest brother ever.
Carlisle. (buzzer buzzing)
Carlton. (bell dinging)
- I can't forget about Carlton.
Carlton is the first oreo on television
because you know he black on the, outside,
white on the inside.
And it. (finger snapping)
- He was just like super like stiff and awkward and nerdy.
And he was such a stark
contrast next to, you know, (bell dinging)
Will Smith who was just like cool, swaggy.
And he, I felt like he always tried to like
sprinkle a little swag on Carlton
and he tried to just (inhaling)
but Carlton just just couldn't catch it.
- Here's the thing about the dance right.
A lot of people just do this, right.
It's you got to bring it up and bring it.
Like there's a, it's like a flip.
(fingers snapping)
- Also Tyra Banks was Will Smith, his girlfriend.
And people just like to forget.
People just like to forget that Tyra Banks was stunning.
- That was the couple I was rooting for.
I was rooting for you. (laughing)
We were all rooting for you.
- So I'm obsessed with "Friends".
I could sing the song all day of my life.
I feel like that is so cute to be in a fountain like that.
(bell dings)
But also, I feel like that's disgusting
but maybe they cleaned it out for them.
- "Friends" is about a group of amigos.
(bell dinging)
They lived together kind of.
They end up adopting a duck.
(duck quacking) (bell dinging)
You'll get it when you watch it.
- They live in New York right above a coffee shop
called Central Perk (bell dinging).
- Okay, let's see if I can remember
all the "Friends" characters.
- There's Joey. (bell dinging)
'Cause Joey be like, "Hey, how you doing?"
- Joey is an actor.
And like, doesn't do anything.
But then he gets really famous, like
halfway through, I think. (bell dinging)
Which is good.
Good job, Joey.
- There's Monica. (bell dinging)
- The anal one of the group, if you will.
You know, you got to put the marker cap on
and hear the snap,(tongue clicking) you know.
- What was that?
There's another, there's dark haired guy.
Bing right. (bell dinging)
- Chandler who's like a business dude
and no one knows what the (beep) he does for work,
but that's like his whole character.
So it's like kind of funny that like, we don't know.
- He's like a numbers transportationist or something.
- Oh, there's another girl.
'Cause she was weird.
And she played the guitar. (bell dinging)
The blonde girl like,
"Hello,
I'm in a coffee shop." (sound system feedback)
"and I'm playing the guitar."
- Phoebe is just like, doesn't even live
in the same building but for some reason,
she's just like always there.
- I see myself as more of a Phoebe,
but I know in my heart of hearts, I am a Janice.
(bell dinging)
"You love me Chandler Bing."
I know that was too good.
And the problem with that is that it felt right.
And that's how I know.
- One of them was a store, not Marshall.
(buzzer buzzing)
One of them is a, this is Marsh.
It's like one of them, you know, the affordable store, Ross.
(bell dinging)
- Ross is a paleontologist.
He also has an ex-wife who's a lesbian.
(bell dinging)
- Ross goes, (huffing) "Fine by me."
- Ross loves dinosaurs and Rachel.
Rachel loves herself. (bell dinging)
- Rachel is the popular girl from high school, right.
And in the beginning she shows up back
in their lives with a wedding dress.
(bell dinging)
- And also Rachel, you were on a break, you were on a break.
And every time I say that to somebody, they're like,
"Oh, you cheated on a boyfriend before."
And I'm like, "Oh my god. (laughing)
"I gotta leave this party."
But you guys were on a break.
He could do whatever he wanted.
- I am on the fence about that.
I feel like
although they were on a break, they didn't break up.
- I feel like they broke up.
- Didn't Ross sleep with like,
she's like from England or Buckingham Palace or something?
(bell dinging)
- When Ross was at the altar and said the name Rachel
I think everybody
in the United States stood up and went, (gasping)
"Oh, the lucky bitch." (hands clapping)
(bell dinging)
And that's all folks.
- That's how I remember it.
- And that are the Long Stories Short.
(upbeat music)
