Chandler: Yeah, too quiet

LOL! ROFLMA!

Great homage, perfectly done!

I rolled my eyes at that. Too bad it wasn't a dark and stormy night too.

It was.
Then a shot rang out, out the market crashed!

"It's quiet out there... too quiet" has been used dozens, if not hundreds of times in TV and movies going back to the 1930s. Could be even older in literature!

They said it last season. I think it was one of the Sub episodes

I kinda like that the show is so unabashedly corny that it takes that line and plays it straight.

This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Indeed. Even though I rolled my eyes at that line, I love the show so damn much that I can forgive the corny stuff. And Chandler played it so straight too. I love these guys.

They do pull it off pretty well. Tex has some pretty cornball lines too.
