I bet no one ever told him his life was going to be this way...

Your job’s a joke, you’re broke and about to become infinitely jealous of our new friend Gunther. Having gone through a bad break-up, his mates recommended he watch everyone’s favorite sitcom to soothe his broken heart and teach him how to love again.

Welp... you could say that it worked.  Maybe a little too well...

Quitting a job he wasn’t content with, Gunther opened his very own Central Perk in Beijing, which is an EXACT REPLICA of the one in 'Friends'.  By the way, it's also complete with specially made couches and a real life Smelly Cat.

I think the best part of all this is that he doesn't even model himself after any of the main friends, he models himself after Gunther. In my opinion that is some awesome humility.

What do you think of Gunther and his obsession with the show?  Cool or just flat out weird?
