Why Ross Is The Most Underrated Character On Friends

I grew up watching Friends with my older cousins as when I got older I decided to watch the whole series pilot to finale (these were thedays before Netflix had Friends on demand so I had to rely on the DVDs and Nick @ Nite). I developed my own opinions about Friends and the characters. When I started to discuss Friends with my friends I realized that many of them hated Ross. I always thought that Ross was funny and an all around good guy and I never quite understood why he was so hated by fans of the show. For all you Ross haters out there here are some moments where he was the best.

1. He was going to take Rachel to prom when she didn’t have a date.

Y’all this is the cutest Friends moment ever and if you disagree I probably hate you.

2. He remembered.

This was one of the most iconic Ross and Rachel moments. How could you hate someone who bought something that was expensive for someone just because it had sentimental value to her? Rachel also says that they saw her gift MONTHS ago and he remembered. That is pretty special if you ask me.

3. He had a monkey.

You have to admit Marcel was cute and perfect. If your heart didn’t skip a beat when Marcel had to be taken to the hospital for spelling monkey with Scrabble pieces then you have no heart.

4. Then he realized that having a monkey was insane.

Although he was cute and perfect Ross was odd for having one, but he eventually admits that it was crazy.

5. He is as bad at flirting as all of us are.

Ross flirting with the pizza delivery girl was a sight to see. It might have been worse when he practiced with Phoebe but nevertheless he epitomises all of us terribly awkward people who are simply incapable of flirting.

6. He taught Chandler the “Hug and Roll.”

Chandler was having problems with Janis’s cuddling so he provided him with a solution. That’s a true friend having another friend’s back.

7. He is a good father.

He created the holiday armadillo for his son to teach him about his Jewish heritage. How could anyone hate that? And if that wasn’t enough he sang Baby Got Back to his baby, Emma, just so he could9. see her smile and hear her laugh.

8. He was a good friend to Joey and helped him with his audition.

It bothered him that he didn’t help out his friend Joey because it made him feel like a bad friend so despite his fear he kissed him to help him out.

9. When Phoebe was mad at him he tried very hard to make it right.

When Phoebe was mad at Ross and didn’t tell him why he did everything to figure out why and even when she didn’t tell him why he apologized for whatever he may have done. It turns out that Phoebe was mad at dream Ross but Ross didn’t even get mad about Phoebe’s mistake.


10. He has Unagi.

Nuf said.

Now if you still hate Ross then

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
