Unlike many, I'm actually a fan of "Handy", but I'm more of a fan of the original song that "I'll Repair for You" is based on. So I think if I had to choose between "Handy" and a nice, clean, studio-version of IRFY, I think I'd choose the latter.

Yeah I would go with Handy, being better lyrically. Not much more funny than IRFY but lyrically it is clearly better. It has grown on me quite fast considering I hate the original for obvious reasons.

I prefer 'I'll Repair for You' since I like the original song more than Iggy's original.

I said Handy because I know the original, but not the original of I'll Repair For You. Though I like them both a lot.

That's kind of mind blowing. The show actually kind of sucked IMO but there was that one episode with the "Weird Al" reference, of course I find that funny.

I know the song but I haven't watched an episode of "Friends" to it's entirety. I've only seen fragments, like when someone's watching and I just walk by :D. It was on TV when I was Mary's age and it wasn't that I wasn't allowed for a show itself but I think it was shown too late in the evening and repeated while I was at school. And now I don't get around to watching it because I'm afraid it to be too normal, you know, with characters having love lifes and being all social, doing stuff that normal people can relate. Those kind of characters make me feel inadequate. For example, I kind of liked "Scrubs", but the amount of romance and sex was way too high for my taste and irritated me quite a lot.

I've seen every episode of Friends at least three times. Chandler Bing is the love of my life. I started watching when I was 13 and haven't stopped yet.
I picked I'll Repair for You ages ago because it's way more :inlove:

No wonder you thought it sucked if you only watched one episode out of the two or three with the same storyline!!
