LAUGH OUT LOUD: Jennifer Aniston says she still finds watching Friends re-runs hilarious.

Jennifer Aniston says she still "laughs her rear end off" at re-run episodes of hit television comedy show Friends.

The actress says catching re-runs of the hit US TV sitcom she starred in still keeps her entertained, even though she doesn't like to admit it.

She said: "There are times I don't even remember particular shows. This is horrible to say, but there are times when I laugh my rear end off.

"And I get in debates with people who are over and say, 'Friends is not my thing.' Excuse you!"

Jennifer, 39, also admits she is not sure if Friends - which ran for 10 years between 1994 and 2004 and is one of the most successful shows of all time - would enjoy the same popularity if it was released today.

She added to New York Times magazine: "It's hard to tell - that was a different time. Now TV has too much to do with celebrity. We have reality television, where people try to become celebrities."

Jennifer recently made a return to the small screen in 30 Rock alongside Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey.

Still laugh at some of the episodes - i use to be a loyal fan but in recent years have found watching re runs constantly quite annoying - let us remember the good times - maybe do a re run in 2 -3 years time when we can laugh at it all over again.

I have to admit that I do watch re-runs of Friends, my son can't understand it, since I have seen them all beforebut hey....he watches re-runs of the Simpsons so there ya go...!

I'm not a huge tv buff but I find Friends is one of those shows like simpsons that you could watch over and over. I'd be glad if I had decided to relax to a bit of TV and it was a friends re-run on. There's not many shows that you just never having on.

i LOVE friends! its actually the only show ever that makes me laugh out loud and i do in every episode no matter how many time i've seen them

Most new shows are Friends wannabes. So much has come into popular culture because of that show - could it BE any more obvious?!? Saw Phoebe say 'BFF' (best friends forever) the other day, Years before Paris Hilton and her ilk came along. Can watch it over and over, still hilarious. Most fave episode - Ross and the tanning booth...

Terminally boring with some of the most fatuous characters on TV (Shortland Street excepted)-typical of the lazy cynical programming we now expect from TV2-take it off and consign it to the deepest darkest dungeon in the land
