A banner in the Karaj, Iran, mourning the death of Matthew Perry

For context, *Friends* is **immensely** popular among young Iranians. As someone who has been interacting with Iranians regularly for the past couple of years, scarcely anyone I meet isn’t at least somewhat familiar with the show. For this reason, my social media last week was filled with posts from Iranians expressing their sadness to hear that Chandler had passed away.
Gohardasht e Karaj here. It’s true people love friends.
I’ve spoken to many non native English speakers that told me they watched Friends to improve their English.
Wild! I think MP would be quite pleased. Thanks for sharing!
TRANSLATION –
“Happy soul Matthew Perry”, (this means a guy who always made people laugh and was positive)
“Guys, make me halal” (this means I hope I haven’t offended anyone, so I’m on my way to paradise)
Any work from Yemen yet?
“Could I be any more of an infidel?”
And they put RESPEK on his name.
IMost Iranians seem pretty cool, shame about the absolute shits running their country.
The one where they out the American fascists
That is unexpected
This is cool. I didn’t know Friends was popular in Iran ’till now. RIP Mathew
Who the fuck is Matthew Perry?
Man people world wide know how to respect the dead. Over here it is just monetized mourning and no weird language text banners on the street corners

Karaj is basically Florida of Iran
Friends knows no boundaries
Lol
At first I thought this was in Yemen before reading the caption
I will miss Miss Chanandler Bong🥹
Reminds me of that mad tv death to america skit.
Very confused when I saw the post title trying to figure out what Perry had to Iran and why they would be mourning him the better part of two centuries later. Honestly didn’t know the actor’s name before now.
Fascinating!
Meanwhile, my first thought was [a very different matthew perry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_C._Perry)
Thought it would be Yemen.
Can they be any more Iranian?
Could this be any more random?
Kinda creeps me out to see my TV shows so proliferated around the world. Enjoyed by so many different cultures. It is like them reading my mail or something kind of personal.
Matthew Perry was loved by many. Rip homie
