How to Deal with Someone
...It's not like they have a group for people like us.

Now that you have had a glimpse into the delicious treat that is the Maggie and Jamie Relationship, we need to examine it on a deeper level. This level, of course, is television. More specifically, the televised cultural phenomenon common people refer to as Friends. In order to explain the deep impact of this show in our lives, we will first detail the aspects of each cast member found in our own personalities.

Phoebe Buffay

In the same way Phoebe wears dangly kaleidoscope earrings and fluffy orange winter coats, Maggie is known for her vibrant choices in clothing and hair color. They both also share a tragically optimistic outlook on life. And, if a miracle strikes the earth and Maggie starts to run, she will run exactly like Phoebe with arms flailing about; as if running away from Satan.

Example: “Guys I’m playing all new material tonight. I have twelve songs about my mother’s suicide and one about a snowman!"

Monica Gellar

Just as Monica’s obsessive neuroses can lead to sabotaging her love life, Jamie’s mind has from time to time forced her into unhealthy situations. Although both Monica and Jamie show some signs of improvement where relationships are concerned, the pure joy of forming the relationship itself often proves to hold the most excitement.

Example: “Pete and I watched a movie… that we made earlier. I can’t help it – I have a boyfriend now!”

Joey Tribbiani

Although Joey and Maggie differ in many ways, they share several distinct similarities; including an intense love of women and food. Joey’s innocent sweetness is mirrored in Maggie’s love for her friends and acts of generosity for them. They also share a love of baby animals, and are both actively searching for their identical hand twin.

Example: “That’s right… I stepped up! And if I had to, I’d pee on any one of you!”

Chandler Bing

A history of sad relationships and being the brunt of many jokes brings out the sarcastic wit of Chandler and Jamie. A wide use of pop culture and awkward social skills make each of them really fun to have around.

Example: “I’m not so good at the advice… can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?”

Ross Gellar and Rachel Green

Well… there’s a storyline which drew on forever and took up too much time from characters with actual humor and substance!
