Jazz is too complicated for the average bear but their are some good catchy stuff like:
The better I become as a musician, the more I like (good) jazz.

Robin Williams was never that funny. (1 in 10 jokes landed)
Nick Cave is pretentious as fuck.
Friends was weak American comedy, still is American comedy, and will always be weak American comedy.
John Cleese has not even been mildly funny since A Fish Called Wanda.
British gameshows with comedians on them generally add up to way less than the sum of their parts.

Totally agree. Actually liked him alot as a dramatic actor but was painfully unfunny sometimes.
-
No shit.

Nail on head. Some scenes are genuinely funny but God so much shit. That Phoebe was so crap.
-
Probably. Couldn't tell you what he's been in since other than that pitiful zoo film. I think he may have voiced a Shrek film as well.
-
Disagree. Some absolute crackers.

Saying you’re a good muso is such a “jazz” thing.

Joey was good value. Chandler was too on occasion. Ross was just a dick ( and actually not a nice person either ? )
Monica and Rachel at least had the hot thing going and they had their moments. Couldn’t agree more about Phoebe, I think I’d rather have my fingernails ripped out than catch up with my friends and listen to her sing in a cafe.

I didn't say I was good, just that I was getting better.

Same thing. I bet you hit “wrong” notes and blame all the guys you’re jamming with

I call that bit jazz.
Actually that reminded me the first time I tried drumming, and the guitarist who was much, much better at keeping time than I was (and was probably half my weight) was so incensed I thought he was going to hit me.

1- wasn’t a fan of his movie acting but I grew up with Mork and Mindy and liked that
2- no comment
3- Friends, never really got into it and what I’ve see I couldn’t stand it
4- Clease is a bit hit and miss
5- don’t really watch any, but what little I’ve seen they seem a little hohum -

Nobody does jazz like these guys

My understanding is that David Schwimmer (Ross) was the one that got equal pay for all the actors and their big paychecks so I assume they all love him. My wife loves the show so plenty of friends references in our playful dialogue.

How I met your mother was a superior show using a similar format. But Friends' impact on popular culture was greater

I could take or leave Robin Williams
Off the top of my head, cant think of anything Nick Cave has done (although I am sure I have heard plenty of his stuff)
I liked Friends.
Loved Fish called Wanda
I like plenty of British comedies, although linking to the previous one, Fawlty Towers was average -
