The sick joke is a perfectly legitimate comedy genre. Usually best told between mates over a pint or with a snigger in private. Matthew Perry doesn't seem to have been able to cope with money or fame and messed up . Maybe he would've messed up his life even if he hadn't had been rich and famous but being well paid in a very popular TV show gave him the chance to do it in a very public way . What is true is that ,love it or not, the show he was in entertained millions of people and unlike some of the nasty bits of work who are posthumously ripped to shreads on RIP threads he wasn't an evil bloke. Any newcomer , or potential member of THL might be forgiven for taking one look at some of the posts and recoiling . And so the site continues to die . Any anti would have in a few screenshots plenty of ammo to fuel evidence that field sports types are a pretty dire bunch. A RIP thread isn't really an appropriate place for "sickies". The Joke Thread might be. Though the obsession some members have with bumming is a bit odd 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 24,108 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 As far as I can see Mathew Perry only hurt himself, no one else, and seems to be universally well liked by all his contemporaries and even ex wives and girlfriends where I lived when Friends was at its heights didn’t have tv coverage so we went to the local cd and tape shop once a month and pick up the latest episodes. I enjoyed them very much and still smile at the replays on tv. A lot of comedians are/were depressive’s, some with serious mental problems, behind the scenes. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to think it was canned laughter so I googled it and they say it was filmed in front of a live audience, but either way, I enjoyed it. Nothing wrong with different opinions on comedy. Cheers.

As I said, it doesn’t really matter to me, I enjoyed it either way. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
