I dunno, I saw it back then when it was released and, even then, both Campbell's and Sedgewick's characters seemed really wooden and full-of-shit; neither of them seemed like people who would have actually inhabited Seattle grunge bars; they were like the typical over-achieving 20-somethings that grunge hated. Grunge was this simple, 2-chord, loser-loving, flannel-wearing simplicity. Those two characters reminded me of this NY Times piece where the author totally fell for a bunch of "Grunge Speak" crap:

Honestly, though, I always fucking hated "Friends" on TV, too, I was waiting for the episode where they all got blown up in a tragic coffeehouse bombing incident.
