There have been many conspiracy theories from FRIENDS however one that would change the entire format of the show would be rated to Miss Phoebe Buffay. A theory has been created that states the entire series of the show is intact a meth- addled fantasy of a homeless Phoebe as she stared through the window of Central Perk. All 10 seasons were merely her fevered imagination, projecting herself into the lives of the other 5. Looking back through the different seasons, it can be questioned that Phoebe made everything about her and referenced to how much of an outsider she was.
The final scene of the show would be Phoebe walking away from Central Perk, with Ross, Rachel, Joey, Chandler and Monica making reference to "the crazy lazy who always stares at us". The theory states that after this, Phoebe walks past a furniture store and catches her reflected in a mirror placed in the window. The name of the store? "Ursula". She returns to the park where she sleeps where it starts to rain. She sits in front of a fountain and puts up 6 dirty but brightly coloured umbrellas.
Phoebe's feeling of being an outsider from the group is played on by this theory. The fact she doesn't live in the same apartment block as the group and that she doesn't have a relationship or is related to any of the group confirms Phoebe's feelings of being left out and not fitting in.
However, this theory is extended further and questions whether every single one of the friends is imagining all the events that occur. Playing on the characters weaknesses, it is questioned whether they are all patients at a mental asylum who have created a fictional reality to help them cope. Each character her a weakness that could of put them there:
Monica- bullied about her weight and had to live in her brother's shadow
Ross- abandonment issues
Joey- the only boy in in a house of incredibly strong women and struggled to deal with them all
Rachel- self destructs and has daddy issues
Chandler- couldn't cope with his parent's troubled relationship and his dad becoming a woman
Phoebe- couldn't get over her mother's suicide
