I know there are people on DU who aren't into the show Friends but it's one of my very favorites. It's gotten me through some hard times.

The reason I bring it up is because there's a scene where Ross and Rachel are having a huge fight that involves the use of the words your and you're. For me, it's one of the funniest scenes in any comedy ever. Sometimes when I need to laugh I'll go to YouTube and watch scenes from various shows. This is one I almost always go to but you need to be a regular viewer because in order to get it you need the context.
