“Friends” star Courteney Cox got everyone’s attention when she reacted to a
since-deleted post from Kanye West in which the rapper shared on Instagram
that the hit NBC show was “not funny.”

The 58-year-old actress shared a video on her social media Tuesday that
showed her first rocking out to West’s 2008 “Heartless” as it appeared she
was scrolling though her phone. Cox then zoomed into Kanye’s since-deleted
post in which he claimed that he never tweeted that the show was “not funny,”
but wished he had, Page Six reported in a piece published Wednesday.

“I actually didn’t write the tweet that said ‘Friends’ wasn’t funny either,’
but I wish I had,” the 45-year-old rapper shared in his post on Instagram,
before basically deleting all his posts but one.

After Cox read what West said about “Friends,” she stopped rocking out,
turned off the phone, and left it and the room behind.

She captioned her post, “I bet the old Kayne thought Friends was funny.”

The reference to the “Friends” tweet happened in 2020 during the presidential
election when Courteney’s former co-star Jennifer Aniston endorsed Joe Biden
for president over then-President Donald Trump, People magazine noted.

At the time, Aniston warned people about voting for West, who was also
running for president.

“It’s not funny to vote for Kanye,” Aniston’s tweet read. “I don’t know how
else to say it. Please be responsible.”

Someone then made it look like West tweeted a dig at “Friends” in response,
which in his recent Instagram post, he said he never did, but agreed with it.

Cox starred as Monica Geller, alongside Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry,
Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer in the hit 90s sitcom. Kudrow herself
recently made headlines when she said that the show had “no business writing”
storylines about “being a person of color” in response to criticism that she
show didn’t have many black people as part of the cast.

“Well, I feel like it was a show created by two people who went to Brandeis
and wrote about their lives after college,” Kudrow said. “And for shows
especially, when it’s going to be a comedy that’s character-driven, you write
what you know. They have no business writing stories about the experiences of
being a person of color. I think at that time, the big problem that I was
seeing was, ‘Where’s the apprenticeship?’”

I have never seen Friends. I was working nights back when it was in
first-run, and I just didn't bother catching up later.

I've also never seen The Cosby Show. I'm so deprived. <sniff>

You didn't miss much. It was totally banal and vapid.

Well, did miss both Aniston and Cox at their tastiest.

I caught part of one while changing channels and would agree that the show
is not funny and in fact has no reddeming qualities whatsoever. I'm not
interested in these new shows filled with vacuous young people.

Even a complete looney like Kanye West can be correct once! :-)

By and large, "Friends" was not funny ... like all American "comedies",
it was mostly loud, obnoxious, and plain silly. The show is even less
funny now that it's been on re-run almost non-stop here in new Zealand
on one channel or another. Same with "The Simpsons".
