It’s so bleak, but it makes SO MUCH SENSE.
Here’s a life lesson for you: As human beings, we aren’t allowed to have nice things without someone tearing apart our fantasy and killing our dreams. Which is why when a fan-made alternate ending to ‘Friends’ landed online this week, we were equally fascinated and devastated by the theory.
Remember how it actually ended? The friends – Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, Rachel, Ross and Monica – left their apartment keys on the counter and walked off to get a coffee. Boom, the end, that’s it.
But a dedicated person who wants to watch the world burn fan has come up with an alternate ending for the series that’s a bit depressing. If you don’t want your day ruined, you should probably just stop reading now.
Love TV? Listen to The Binge hosts talk about another popular TV sitcom.
The theory comes from a designer called Gareth Stranks, who shared his elaborate, mind-numbing alternate ending on Twitter.
And as sad as it is, it makes so much sense. See what you think:
You do you, Strnks. Don’t let the haters get you down.
What do you think of this theory? Do you have your own alternate ending to share?

Phoebe was my favourite character on that show!!
I love this ending. It reminds me of Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Match Girl". Might also remind us all of the value of friendship and reaching out.
