Friends, we all have them. They are there for the laughs, the tears, the happy and sad times, and ultimately the love. Friends are great, but nothing can really compare to "Friends". You know, the original six that we grew up watching, but only started really understanding just how funny they are until we got to high school. No matter what, this crew of New Yorkers just get us. Whether it is the complete relation to Rachel's struggling job as a waitress (which she balances with a pretty intense shopping addiction), Phoebe's outright and blunt musical endeavors, or Chandler being Chandler, it never gets old. And sometimes, these fictional characters just get us, more so than anyone in our lives. Because, really, who could compare to that Central Perk gang?
