Alf's Dad is here, Joey's neck is not, Hadley formally declares one of the Friends is not his friend, obscure SNL character Jacob Silj gets a namecheck, but who owns the world's douchiest lute player?
The trio are outraged that Chandler & Friends are outraged that someone assumed he was gay. OUTRAGE. Also, Hadley feels they half-assed Nana's death. Go big or go home on Comedy OR Drama (or make one of the most successful accessibly broad sitcoms ever... you do you...)
The One With The Blackout seems like a perfect opportunity for a serial killer ep, but NBC didn't have the stones to take that route, so instead they went for another weird ep with to much V/O.
Nicki cracks how the show was pitched, Nicko and Hadley crack the difference between 'The Windmill', and 'The Helicopter', and Ross cracks his head on a washing machine.
Why does going outside look so terrible!? Also, who knew the gender politics of an early 90's sitcom wouldn't hold up to modern scrutiny!? And Hadley drops a Joey bombshell!
Hadley gets his head around the fact that the episode titles give away plot points. Drinking game rules are established. Ross has a job! And should we really we worried about Carol?
In a freak turn of events, Hadley managed to grow up in the 90's never watching the allegedly popular NBC Sitcom Friends. Nicky and Nicko are lovers of Friends and friends, and get get to the bottom of Hadley's ignorance.
