Recently, Netflix announced that they were going to take Friends off starting in 2019. But because of the millions of fans who stood up to keep it, Netflix ended up paying more than $100 million to keep the show for at least one more year.

With the unconditional love between all 6 characters and thousands of hilarious moments, this show perfectly captures the saying, "Friends can turn into family." Here are 10 reasons why Friends never fails to make me laugh and is the greatest show of all times.

1. Everyone is a different type of crazy in their own way

2. Even though life might not be going the way you planned, as long as you've surrounded yourself with great friends, everything will play out

3. Laughing is the best stress reliever

I mean, could the show BE any funnier?

4. Take risks once in a while and you'd be surprised to see what its outcome can be

5. Say the correct person's name at your wedding

DO NOT PULL A ROSS (unless you're not actually soulmates, then by all means pull a Ross)

6. NEVER bet on your apartment

7. Nothing comes without some failures

Take Ross for example, even after 3 marriages he still found his true soulmate.

8. Princess Consuela Bananahammock might not be the most appealing thing to change your name to

9. If your best friend really is your best friend, they should be willing to sit in a box for you

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
