Quote from Chandler in The One with Chandler's Dad
Chandler: Forget it. I don't want to go. I don't want to see him. Monica: Chandler, look, I know your dad embarrassed you. Chandler: No, no. All kids are embarrassed by their parents. You'd have to come up with a whole new word for what I went through. When I was in high school, he used to come to all my swim meets dressed as a different Hollywood starlet. It was hard enough being 14, you're skinny, you're wearing Speedos that your mom promised you'd grow into. And you look up into the stands. And there's your dad cheering you on. Dressed as Carmen Miranda, wearing a headdress with real fruit that he will later hand out to your friends as a healthy snack.
