May 6, 2015 10:12 PM UTC _Broad City_‘s Abbi and Ilana are the best friends on television, but are they good _Friends_? A YouTube video seeks to find out, pairing footage of _Broad City_ with the _Friends_ theme song. Turns out Abbi and Ilana’s dance moves are pretty compatible with The Rembrandts, even if their version does have a little more blood and weed. But the video, despite being only 49 seconds long, does not stop there. It actually starts an episode of a _Friends_\-ified _Broad City_—laugh track and all.
