I pulled the complete Friends script from the EmilHvitfeldt/friends R dataset, every line of dialogue from all 10 seasons, properly sorted scene by scene.
Some things I found:
– "Oh my God" is said 911 times. Rachel leads with 258, Monica's at 230. It's not Janice's catchphrase, it's everyone's.
– "How you doin'", only 36 times. It feels like every episode, but Joey actually only says it 26 times across the entire show.
– "We were on a break", 10 times total. Ross says it 7 of those.
I just rewatched the entire last episode by reading via the dots on the page,

I’m good
Why would I want to do that, though?
Curious stuff!
Good luck with the Friends hate here though
*It’s not Janice’s catchphrase, it’s everyone’s.*
It’s just a commonly used phrase in general. It’s still Janice’s catchphrase because of the specific inflection.
Or go outside
Joey only saying “how you doin” about once every 9ish episodes is crazy for how well known it is. WOW
Ok that’s really cool
That is cool. Thanks 🙏👍
The section pointing to 5 uses of ‘Could I BE…’ can’t be correct – it says Chandler 4 and Monica 1 – when I can definitely think of one instance (at least) where Joey uses it
‘Could I BE wearing anymore clothes’
