Matthew Perry Having Nightmares About No One Watching A Friends Revival Is Erroneous

Variety- “With TV in the midst of a nostalgia boom – “Roseanne,” “Will & Grace” — you must get asked every single day about a “Friends” reunion.

I have this recurring nightmare – I’m not kidding about this. When I’m asleep, I have this nightmare that we do “Friends” again and nobody cares. We do a whole series, we come back, and nobody cares about it. So if anybody asks me, I’m gonna say no. The thing is: We ended on such a high. We can’t beat it. Why would we go and do it again?”

C’mon, Chan-Chan Man. This is Erroneous! Erroneous! Erroneous on both counts! I love Matthew Perry- he has brought me so much joy playing roles like Chandler Bing and…uhh well just Chandler Bing, but that’s still a hell of a lot of joy brought to a young Glenny Balls. I firmly believe that Joey & Chandler are up there with Starsky & Hutch, Jerry & George, Jax & Opie, and Larry & Leon for the greatest bromances in television history. Those two have been giving me an endless amount of laughs throughout my 14-year long and counting quest to become the greatest Friends Trivia player in the world and I love them for it. Do I now have to love only one half of the bromance?

Look, people say a lot of dumb shit. Some people are convinced aliens don’t exist, some people refuse to eat meat even though it’s awesome, some people don’t gamble because it’s illegal, but Matthew Perry saying no one would watch a Friends revival may be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I get that a nightmare is just a dream and Chandler can’t control them, hell a zombified version of Britney Spears in the Toxic music video chased me in my dream last night, but you still can’t go around proclaiming dumb shit based off of nightmares. A Friends revival would be one of the most-watched television specials in history due to how well its translated to my generation and even kids younger than me thanks to Netflix. My mom loves it, I love it, my little cousins love it, my rottweiler even loves it.

The only truth that was spouted from Matthew Perry in this interview was them not being able to beat how the show ended. Friends’ final episode was nothing short of phenomenal. I hope someone gets off the plane to attend my own funeral, that’s how good it was. I’m confident a series revival starring the whole cast with guest appearances by Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Hanks, directed by Martin Scorsese, and produced by Harvey Weinstein still wouldn’t shine the shoes of “The Last One”. An all-time great television episode.

Feel free to come see me in Friends Trivia on QuizUp. I’ve beaten the best player in France and used to be Top 10 in New York during my heyday. My username is Glenny Balls, I think.
