Friends' Show Opening Gets Purr-fectly Hilarious Makeover with Cats - Cute Videos

The opening to the popular and beloved television program “Friends” got a hilarious cat makeover.

Every generation has its iconic television program that, week in and week out, draws in a massive audience. “MASH,” “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” “Cheers” and “I Love Lucy” are just some of those programs that qualify as iconic television shows. Simply mentioning the titles of those shows immediately brings up a memorable scene or line from that specific show in most people's minds.

In the 90s, it would be difficult to find a more beloved and iconic television show than “Friends.” The show was about the crazy mishaps and hijinks of six friends living in New York City. While the characters spent most of their time in their apartment, they also frequented their local coffee shop, Central Perk.

Audiences fell in love with those characters and even developed and named an entire hairstyle after one of the show’s main characters. However, the program's opening segment and song were some of the show's most memorable elements. Even those who weren’t “Friends” fans know how each episode began.

A clip posted on Instagram features a reimagined “Friends” opening featuring cats. The show’s memorable theme song lyrics have also been augmented to celebrate and recognize those cute, furry and four-legged creatures.

“So no one told you cats were gonna be this way

They steal your food, they’re rude

They won’t do what you say

They shed their fur and scratch your furniture”

Anyone who has ever had a feline understands and knows firsthand the truth of those lyrics. They are some of the most stubborn and strong-willed animals you’ll encounter. 

So, why do we continue to bring them into our homes? The reinvented lyrics remind us that despite a cat’s bad and annoying habits, they are so darn cute, especially when they look you in the eyes and start loudly purring as you pet them.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”
