It didn't trigger it, any more than Idiocracy did; it's just reflecting it. Friends being popular is just like any content free art (for want of a better word) being popular.

The difference is that Idiocracy is deliberately criticizing the phenomenon, whereas Friends was unintentionally promoting it.
