Dr. Ross Geller, the fictional palaeontologist played by David Schwimmer on the popular NBC sitcom Friends, has his own page on the Rate My Professors website and people are filling it with reviews, inside jokes and pokes at the famously-dorky character.

Rate My Professor is a renowned and useful online tool — or place to rant — for university and college students around the world. Thousands of teachers and professors are graded by students on a wide range of topics including quality, difficulty and hotness. But a professor doesn’t need to be real to leave an impact, as the parody page for Dr. Geller proves.

While the page has existed for years, it seems Twitter just re-discovered it recently.

What seems to keep attracting people to the page are the many references to character’s most hilarious and awkward moments, and they’re not all from the classroom. Many refer to the time he began a class in a fake British accent, or when he dated a student. Others make reference to how he reacts if you mention a break.

Fake students roast Dr. Geller from Friends.

The character, notorious for his on-and-off relationship with Rachel Green (played by Jennifer Aniston), spent years as an employee of New York Museum of Prehistoric History until becoming a professor of palaeontology at New York University. While the careers of the characters usually weren’t the main focus of the show, the palaeontologist’s bumbling performance at work may have driven some of the most memorable antics on the sitcom.

Interpenetrating the class.

These occasionally outrageous incidents mean Dr. Geller sometimes receives less than stellar grades. From constant interruptions to giving out As for nefarious reasons, the palaeontologist may have not been the best professor.

I mean, realistically, it would not have been an excellent university experience.

One reviewer even rewrote the opening of the show’s catchy theme song.

Jokes from the show are peppered throughout the page, from comments on his hairstyle to his misguided foray into leather pants.

There’s also a reference to that time when he taught his pupils about unagi, and he wasn’t referring to eel sushi.

Now we're all in complete harmony.

While Dr. Geller only received one pepper on his hotness score, the consolation prize should be that more than 80 percent of students surveyed said they would take his class again, and at least one student really “loved him.”
