instead of Friends they should’ve called it Friends & Ross
every conflict the Friends had to face was directly the cause of Ross
just saw an episode where chandler was trying to give joey money since he was struggling financially but joey was too proud to take it so chandler made up a gambling game where joey always won so chandler could give him money without him knowing. perfect example of two great Friends. then joey, confident with his skills in the game, goes to ross to play with him and loses it all to ross. joey tells chandler and he goes to ross and explains the situation and how the game was fake and asks for his money back but ross wouldn’t give it back. just one of the many examples of ross being a worthless piece of shit
I just watched the episode where Rachel hires a male nanny, Sandy, who is perfectly qualified and experienced. All of the friends love him including Joey who says that he is ‘learning so much’ from him. Except of course Ross who is a dick to Sandy the entire episode just because Ross doesn’t think being a nanny is a man’s job. Ross even went as far as to ask if he was gay in the job interview which I’m pretty sure is a big no-no. Ross eventually ends up firing Sandy purely because he’s a man in a female dominated job and because he thinks is too sensitive which is hilarious because the only sensitive one here is Ross and his fragile masculinity.
What about the one where Ross gets upset because his two year old son wants to play with a Barbie? He spends the entire episode trying to convince him that G.I. Joe is better.
How about the part where Rachel got a dream job in Paris, and fuckboy Ross who had treated Rachel like shit in the past, decided to try and win her back at the airport when he should have just let her go to her dream job.
I watched an episode where Ross and Rachel got trashed in Vegas and then went to the chapel and got married. When they came to Ross wouldn’t get an annulment because he didn’t want to be known as the guy who gets divorced. He is kind of awful.
KEEP THIS THREAD GOIN KIDS DRAG THAT FUCKER
Or the one where Ross yells at Rachel for dating Elizabeth’s dad because it’s “weird” for him but had no problem going out with Rachel’s sister, Jill, when Rachel had an issue with it.
Or how about the one where Rachel is having the time of her life at a job she loves, but insecure douche canoe Ross has a problem that she’s working with another man, and gives Rachel such a hard time about it, she decides she needs a break from their relationship
The show Friends actually invented the term ‘friendzone’ to describe Ross’ inability to show Rachel that he wanted to be with her (back at the start).
Or when Rachel and Joey get together and Ross freaks out about it even though he was currently dating Joey’s ex-girlfriend Charlie.
He told Rachel that he read the letter she wrote him so that they would get back together.
He got jealous that Rachel was living with Joey while she was pregnant with Emma.
Speaking of Emma he kept telling Rachel at the beginning of her pregnancy that there was no possible way she could do this alone and that they should get married cause it was the right thing to do
The amount of times he has made small comments about the influence Carol and Susan have on Ben.
He dated one of his students and didn’t seem to understand why her father was uncomfortable with their relationship.
He is constantly correcting people and treating others like they aren’t as intelligent as he is because he has a Ph.D. And he thinks since he is “sensitive” and “nice” that women should want to be with him.
Ross is the epitome of “but I’m a nice guy.”
There was also the episode where Phoebe didn’t believe in evolution and he spent the entire episode obsessed with proving to her that his belief was the only true belief. He wouldn’t let it go until Phoebe finally stood up for herself in the end and made him cave.
I am on record as being absolutely ride-or-die anti-Ross Geller. He is one of television’s all-time worst human men.
#1: Ross never saw Rachel as a friend. He ONLY saw her as a romantic prospect and never got over his crush on her. He’s had a crush on her since high school so in his mind he “claimed” her first and long after they broke up he resented and deliberately tried sabotaging every male relationship in her life.
#2 Ross literally could not accept that Mark (or any man) could be friends with Rachel because HE couldn’t be “just friends” with Rachel. Throughout the series it’s often Joey that tells Ross that he doesn’t OWN Rachel while Chandler and Monica (OH DON’T LET ME GO OFF ABOUT MONICA) enable him.
#3 “WE WERE ON A BREAK” is NEVER an excuse.
#4 I am STILL pissed that Rachel got off that damn plane! Ross sabotaged her career at EVERY. SINGLE. TURN. He was “tired of having a relationship with her answering machine”. He was constantly jealous of all her male colleagues. He WALTZ INTO HER WORKPLACE TO ARGUE ABOTU THEIR RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS!
#5 AND HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO FALL ASLEEP at a work event that he DEMANDED she take him to.
#6 I DARE YOU to name ONE THING that Ross EVER did to unselfishly help Rachel’s career.
#7 LITERALLY EVERYONE WANTED Rachel to get on that plane. There was nothing left for her professionally in New York. The Paris job was her DREAM. But GUESS WHO DIDN’T. FUCKING ROSS BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAS TO BE ABOUT HIM AND WHAT HE WANTS.
#8 I HATED (HATED) the running gag that Ross’s first wife being gay was the reason they divorced. MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE YOU WERE A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING.
#9 Ross’s need to win EVERY SINGLE TIME
#10 Ross ALWAYS treats everyone (ESPECIALLY RACHEL) like they’re intellectually beneath him.
In addition to all of this:
HE SAID THE WRONG NAME AT HIS OWN WEDDING TO EMILY
He doesn’t annul his and Rachel’s wedding AND LIES ABOUT IT
he made a move on his COUSIN, and RATIONALIZED THAT IT WAS FINE BASED ON HER ACTIONS
He didn’t read the letter
AGAIN “WE WERE ON A BREAK” (if Ross thought he and Rachel were on a break and he did nothing wrong, why did he hide the girl from the copy place behind the door?)
He KEPT TRACK of how many times he and Rachel had sex
He is whiney weak bitch
He CONSTANTLY belittles the accomplishments of others
He has anger management issues
He suffers from the Nice Guy Syndrome (NGS); fun fact, Friends coined the term the friendzone, this is no coincidence
The whole turkey sandwich thing
He’s a shitty parent
An even shittier sibling
Sexist
Homophobic
Has never been in a relationship where he HASN’T cheated
When he got caught getting high in highschool, he throws his oldest friend under the bus
Unagi
He dates a student (A STUDENT)
He’s never been in a relationship where he hasn’t lied
The “We Hate Rachel Club” and the rumor that he and Will started in high school
I could go on about how Rachel SHOULD have ended up with Joey, but that’s a whole other Ted Talk.
also, ross made a pro/con list because he couldn’t decide if he wanted to date julie or rachel. in it, he described rachel as “spoiled, ditzy, too into her looks, and just a waitress”.
I hate Ross with a passion and his role has poisoned David Schwimmer for me. Especially after Six Days, Seven Nights in which he pretty much has the same role
This post makes me literally giddy so I’m gonna keep adding to it every single time I see it:
“I could go on about how Rachel SHOULD have ended up with Joey, but that’s a whole other Ted Talk.”
When Rachel and Ross first got together in season 2, there was a scene where they were going to have sex for the first time. They were making out and Ross squeezed her ass and Rachel kinda started giggling a bit because she was really nervous about moving their relationship from friends to lovers. She tells him that it’s a really big deal to her and he says “I knew it was big, just not HA-HA big”. He’s completely missing the point that she’s massively uncomfortable and he just thinks shes laughing at him. She tried to shake it off and continue, but she felt really uncomfortable and embarrassed about it and couldn’t stop giggling. She apologizes over and over again and tells him she’s going to try not to laugh anymore and then tries to initiate another kiss. Ross tells her he refuses to touch her anymore because he’s too self conscious now and the moment is gone, making her feel like shit for being nervous.
THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN RACHEL STARTS DATING JOEY!
Rachel and Joey are kissing on his couch and Joey starts moving his hand up her leg. She breaks the kiss and literally slaps his hand and immediately apologizes for the knee-jerk reaction. Joey just shrugs and they start kissing again. He tries touching her leg again and she slaps him a second time. She apologizes and he just makes a joke: “I don’t get it, Chandler loved it”. So they try kissing for a third time and he tries the leg trick again and this time, Rachel slaps his hand AND both sides of his face. Joey AGAIN just makes another joke: “Uh… Was that good for you?”
He, unlike Fucktard McGee, actually senses that maybe Rachel isn’t ready to sleep with him just yet, so he tries to comfort her by asking if she’s sure she wants to do this with him. She replies that she IS sure, it’s just going to take some getting used to switching from friends to lovers. THEN HE ACTUALLY TRIES TO OFFER SOLUTIONS and he asks her what they can do to make it easier for her. She suggests maybe not touching her legs right off the bat and he complies without complaint. They still can’t seem to get in the same groove with each other despite trying a few more times, so they mutually agree that maybe its not the best to be together. She leans on his shoulder and he kisses her head and he says that he loves her no matter what.
LIKE. I DON’T GET IT. JOEY IS SO GOD DAMN SWEET AND PURE HE MAKES ME WANNA CRY. HE IS LITERALLY THE BEST CHARACTER ON THE FUCKING SHOW AND THE FACT THAT HE ENDS UP ALONE IS THE WORST DECISION THAT SHOW HAS EVER MADE. FUCK ROSS AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE AN EVIL PERSON.
REBLOGGING AGAIN AND I’M NOT SORRY!
#5 AND HE HAD THE AUDACITY TO FALL ASLEEP at a work event that he DEMANDED she take him to.
THIS EVENT WAS A 45 MINUTE LECTURE, PEOPLE!!! FORTY!!! FIVE!!! MINUTES!!!!!!! HE COULDN’T SUPPORT HIS GIRLFRIEND FOR 45 GOD DAMN FUCKING MINUTES I CAN’T EVEN DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
