“That certainly was never one of the things that we had in the backs of our minds that we hoped the show would do,” “Friends” co-creator Marta Kauffman toldGerman web developer Marcel Fahle, 41, didn’t start watching “Friends” for its language properties, but noticed that each time he re-watched an episode, he would understand and appreciate more of the jokes – leading him to rely on the comedy for English tips.
“It’s funny, because it’s such colloquial English,” said “Friends” co-creator David Crane. “We actually wrote in the script all the times they say ‘like’ – that’s on us. Those are in the scripts, all the ‘uhs’ and the ‘likes.’ We actually scripted all of that, so the idea that someone’s learning English with all of our weird inverted sentences – we certainly didn’t write it as a grammar primer.”
Fahle’s quibble with “How I Met Your Mother” is that it seemed to have more inside jokes, while “Friends” was “more like common English.” These days, he spends a small part of his day watching the series again – this time with his wife, who is Lithuanian, in an effort to improve her English. They are currently on Season 3.
