You probably loved Friends best for its jokes. Understandable! It's a sitcom, after all. But what if it didn't have any jokes? Stay with me here — what if Friends merely went from Point A to Point B with no punch lines in between? Thanks to YouTube's Tunglebrek (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtVfwX7GoecQSRYnITWzFDCtd4hfOT4y1), you can watch an entire episode of Friends ("The One With the Apothecary Table") without the jokes and discover that it's somehow ... still pretty funny. Ross's too-loud yelling makes the cut. That's funny. And so does the fact that guest star Elle Macpherson probably had very few jokes to start with because she's in a surprising amount of this no-jokes recut. You can even tell who makes the most jokes, because he's barely in this 2:42 minute video: Chandler. Laugh it up.
