What's your favourite F.R.I.E.N.D.S scene?

[Bobje]

DD is back from uni and she's asked to watch the whole Friends series together over her holidays.
I honestly haven't watched any of them since the first time round, but the one scene that stuck in my mind is this one...

‘Red Ross’

When Rachel’s dad confronts Ross about getting her pregnant and not wanting to marry her all in front of of his new date 🤣🤣🤣

Richard....now I'm confused, I thought we shared time.

When Chandler gets cold feet and Ross and Phoebe track him down. He says that he doesn't want to end up like his parents.

Ross - "Have you ever put on a black cocktail dress and invited me up to your room?"
Chandler - "No..."
Ross - "Then you are neither of your parents!" 😆

The Shark Porn episode.

Monica: “Let me be a part of this”
Chandler: “ Let <me> be a part of this “

🤣🤣🤣

Something I noticed at the start of Season 7 is how much Matthew Perry is slurring his words in various episodes

I think I only clocked it because I'd read his book and it was very obvious that he wasn't 'clean' as he claimed both at the friends reunion and when he was on his book tour as he was really slurring. In his book he says when he is heavy he is on alcohol and when he is thin he is on drugs - he lost a massive amount of weight between S 6 and S 7 which end and begin in the same scene when he is wearing a red shirt. You can see it here in these side by side pictures:

I'd never noticed the problem with his diction before and I've watched S7 before at least a couple of time. If you pay attention you can hear it and it's very different from how he was diction wise in say Season 1. It's not as bad as Friends reunion slurring but its there. Once you notice it, you can't unhear it and it really made me wonder at what point the rest of them and the producers realised how serious his problem was. It's touched on in the book but not really gone into - Aniston speaks to him about his drinking, Kauffman calls him worried about him showing up for the next season - but it's amazing really he kept his job if you read that book and the extent of his problems.

BTW if you are a Friends fan and you haven't read his book, I would really recommend you don't read it because he comes across as a deeply unpleasant narcissitic person and it kind of put me off him. I know it shouldn't matter because he's playing a part but it sort of cast a shadow over Chandler and him for me.

10 days countdown!

DD and I are onto S4!
Anyone else watching?

Are we still on friends @Bobje or are we moving onto Stranger things 🤣

@Whatsthatsheila Yes! 😁

Are you on Stranger Things?

We are caught up but I’m so looking forward to the next instalment. Can’t wait!

if Steve dies though - I’m rioting

Baby on the bus!

The bit When chandler and joey realise they left the baby on the bus when getting off to follow women!

And then doing lunges while commando! 😂

I love the one where they nap of the sofa together. The last scene in that episode.

So glad I have the entire set on DVD, now that they're gone from Netflix.

Sooo many funny scenes but is has to be the lobster scene, I always shed a tear!!

Mentions for:
FINE BY ME!
Pivot
Nutty Brooke Shields
The backpacking through Western Europe story
the Routine
Phoebe and Chandler’s “date”
The foul-mouthed mother in the Labour suite at the same time as Rachel “she’s in labour - you like that, you sick son of a bitch??” 😂
Ross’ interactions with the male nanny
Any scene with fat Monica’s dancing
The scene with the quiz and the girls lose the apartment
The scene where Chandler persuades Érica to choose them
Any scene with JaNIce

There will be loads more. Ross is my favourite character but I dislike his OTT dorky/“manic” persona - I’m fine/my sandwich etc. Much prefer his slapstick and witty comedy “hitting me where it hurts, my ski skills!”.
“No need to point, she knows who Ross is”.
“I grew up with Monica, if you didn’t eat fast you didn’t eat!!”

Love Friends! It defo holds its own today.

@Proudofitbabe
Reading your list I can just "see" those scenes 👏

I bloody LOVE Janice.

I watched the Thanksgiving episode with Christina Applegate yesterday, it was exquisite.

'Seriously, this guy?'

Chandler sorting out the CDs “The sun’ll come out tomorrow, bet…. Your bottom dollar there’ll be [in a very gruff way] SUN”.

David, to Mike when Mike shows up to ruin his proposal “I suppose you want my seat too.” When Mike says yes he continues with “Well I suppose that’s fair, you’ve had a long journey”.

Also David, again to Mike “If you ever do come to Minsk, here’s my card. We’ll party up Vlodnik style”.

”Was that tanning place the sun?!” - Chandler.

I am very sad it’s come off Netflix. I do have the DVD box set but I’ve watched that so many times half of them don’t work!

I love when Ross tells Marcel the monkey not to play the CD, The Lion Sleeps Tonight plays, Ross turns it off and Marcel storms off and slams the door. Ds used to laugh hysterically at that scene. In fact any scene with Marcel 😆

Not sure about entire episodes but more individual scenes…

Ross saying to Rachel “it’s like in a way you complete me”. Phoebe looks at him with raised eyebrows… Ross in a British accent “you complete me kitchen mate-y” 🤣🤣🤣

Phoebe: “I found you in my bed, what are you doing there? You are a mystery. Little black curly hair” 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Jack Geller saying to Rachel he’s sorry her parents are separating. She’s like whaaat? And Jack says “I must be thinking of somebody else. Maybe me!”

you feel aSLEEP?

where Phoebe and Rachel are in Ross’ apartment and see chandler and Monica kiss. When they try to stop Ross noticing and start jumping about saying how excited they are about his apartment and he jumps around with them 🤣🤣

agree with previous posters on Ross’ physical comedy. Falling on the ground in a smooth sideways motion and shuffling under the bed to avoid Bruce Willis. The way he abruptly turned his head and walked off in a huff. When he walks into the open washing machine door and falls down after Rachel kisses him

Chandler muffling into the phone saying he’s stuck in an ATM vestibule with Jade Whitaker (is that the name?!?) and Joey understands him!

Ross playing a tune on his keyboard in the high school graduation video

Ross calling his parents Jack and Judy when Rachel says she’s sick of high school boys and only wants to date college boys. And Monica says “call them mom and dad you loser” 🤣🤣

Mike calling himself Crap Bag

Ross’ white teeth

Ross and the leather trousers 🤣🤣

the routine!!! And when Ross and Monica do the ridiculous head moves in front of the guy who picks people who go on the podium 🤣🤣

when chandler snogs everyone so they don’t find out about him and Monica

🤣🤣🤣

Adding to my own post:

when Joey can’t find the hot girl in the building opposite theirs

I can’t believe there are no votes for “baby on the bus” when chandler and joey leave Ben on the bus to get off to talk to hot women!

Just remembered another one. Phoebe is dating a guy who doesn't speak English so gets Monica to date his translator but they end up getting on really well.
Monica: "so you want us to just sit here in silence?"
Phoebe:"that would be GREAT, thanks!"
