Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesnβt provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Guys, I know it's unpopular to say this, but chicken is DELICIOUS!
OP was talking about funny not successful, which is a brave take
It's a comedy show. Talking about is success is talking about it's comedic performance.
Real question: Could you show me a funny scene from friends? The first one that comes to mind?
Although you're just being intentionally dense at this point I'll give you another quantifiable fact, the word 'comedy' appears 160 times on this page:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Friends
Clearly plenty of people found the series funny, even if you don't.
Home Alone 4 is also a comedy, doesn't make it funny
I'm not making any judgement in regard to your opinion, or even disagreeing, I thought friends was lame as fuck. I'm merely pointing out that friends is overwhelmingly considered a comedic success, and that our opinion is by definition the unpopular one.
What's the spin off?
Also the money is not proof of funny, you could make that off with the drama and romance series too.
But the quotes are amazing. PIVOT! PIVOT!
Definitely successful, but it's popular for people to say that they think it's not funny, which is what I was getting at.
Tell me you're way too young to have watched it when it first aired... without telling me you're way too young to have watched it when it first aired.
I watched it when it first aired. I'm talking about popular opinion now, not then.
Eh. It was shit then, and it's only gotten shittier since (see: cash grab antics, laugh track BS, etc. above), but you go on thinking that a "popular" opinion is popular because it is, and not because it's the rational, self-respecting opinion that many simply default to and never apply further attention to the subject again. π€·π½ββοΈ
