So no-one told me Friends was gonna be 4th place
Seinfeld was above, and I just thought "No Way"
It's like you never saw enough of Friends
And judge them all the same like, as if, Friends is weird, but
I will not be voting for you (when you order them all wrong)
I will not be voting for you (when this list sees downfall)
I will not be voting for you (and I'll vote Friends each time too-o-o)

Put that to the theme from Friends. Clever, right? Well, it's hardly Weird Al Yankovic, but it's awesome.

Lol funniest show ever every episode is hilarious!
Season 3 8 and 7 are the funniest seasons of the show
