If 'Friends' had a Behind the Scenes Reality Show

I always wondered how they did it.

"this punchline was worth the entire process and production cost of this animation"- Joel Haver

[logarhythmic]

I love how Joel has said the animations are tough and tedious to make, so they won't come out as often, yet he makes an entire animation for one punch line.

[jjscallywag]

I love how you can almost hear the dumbass, hilarious conversation that lead to the creation of this bit

[SteeleGolem]

I'm just imagining Joel painstakingly doing the animation thinking "this joke is funny, right? This is worth it?"

The answer is 1000 times yes. Thank you.

Joel's production value keeps going up, I can't believe he managed to get THE David Schwimmer to play Ross in his video

[Godzillarex]

This was a great riff on the classic "Who's on First" Abbott and Costello routine, funny stuff man!

[pleythru]

the music is way too on point. "i'm not here to make Friends." goddammit Joel. you got me.

[dogofchaos]

This guy gets it, sometimes our brain just needs a stupid, simple joke.

[da_pikmin_coder]

I could never forget that iconic scene where Ross professes his love while also introducing himself and holding a water bottle.

[TheRealArtistsHaven]

HOLY CRAP! I just realized he snuck in the "get a load of this guy" friends meme!

[Yasviele]

"Get a load of this guy" there's some golden writing here

A dime-a-dozen reality TV phrase flipped on its head in the most clever AND stupid way possible at the same time.

[Goat-on-a-Stick]

So the whole reason I couldn't make friends my whole life was cause I wasn't on the right set... right?

[nacrid]

I can tell he had that joke and built everything else from that

[sahanavica.]

You spent so much time shooting and painstakingly animating an entire sketch based entirely around one wordplay joke. That is just *chef's kiss*.

[regular_man]

The little "get a load of this guy" reference that nobody noticed

[TheFeed]

Joel this is the peak, it can't go up from here. Absolute gold.

[robertmorales]

Joel: You know how they always say "I'm not here to make friends" on all the reality shows?
Trent: yeah
Joel: What if a Production Assistant on Friends said that?
Trent: wow, let's spend dozens of hours making that joke in animated format!

[Froggypond]

Its gotten to the point where im just gonna go ahead and like the video before watching it because i know its gonna be good

[williamgrant]

"I'm not here to make friends" had be dying XD. Great job, Joel.
