Series Three?

*Chandler and Joey get the chick and duck
*Ross reveals what a controlling bastard he is
*the others getting trapped in Monicas bedroom listening to R&R argue
*The One Where They Are All Late - were Ross is trying to get them all to his works dinner on time
*Pete successfully wooing Monica
*Monicas fake boobs and hair
*Chandler and Phoebe's conversation about why it is SpiderMAN and not Spidermun

I could go on.

It is the best of all ten series.Fact.

I found out what a transbondster actually is today..!

PesoPenguin · 30/01/2015 22:40

I actually like season 5 best!

cookoos · 30/01/2015 22:41

ohhh
i love the one where monica thinks the cleaner chandler hired is stealing her clothes - ink stained jeans, ripped bra.... chandler "you need new clothes"
the early one where monica is advising chandler about sex & the zones (seven seven SEVEN!)
when ross buys rachel the broach for her bday and chandler lets slip that ross loves her.
the episodes that follow when ross is with julie.
the episode where rachel leaves him the "im over you msg"
the prom video episode "hes her lobster" so all the soppy ones!

prefer earlier than later

maddening · 30/01/2015 22:43

I like the one with chandlers freaky flat mate with the fish

CharityD · 30/01/2015 22:44

I love Phoebe's songs.

And tegrin spelled backwards is nirget... Grin... Lather, rinse, repeat.

HayDayRookie · 30/01/2015 22:46

Ross and Monica "The routine" Grin

CambridgeBlue · 30/01/2015 22:48

The ones with Eddie are genius :)

LoveVintage · 30/01/2015 22:50

I love the Phoebe and Mike ones, think season 9 or 10.

I love the earlier series. It got worse every series and by 9 and 10 had become a bit over the top and the characters seemed like exaggerated versions of themselves.

Go to China, eat Chinese food
Over there they just call it 'food'

I love love the scene where Rachel is talking on the phone to her mum about how safe NY is and a pigeon flies in through the window. She traps it in a saucepan (genius) and then Phoebe's husband pops by and she releases it from the pan in shock.

Jackieharris · 30/01/2015 22:52

I agree with season 3.

I don't like the later ones where they are all hollywoodised, JA &CC are so skeletal I find it painful to watch.

Jackieharris · 30/01/2015 22:53

I wonder of the actors would do it again if they had the chance?

None of them have really had happy fulfilled lived have they?

Nake99 · 30/01/2015 22:54

Went to the store, sat on Santa's lap,
Asked him to bring my friends all kinds of crap.
Said, all you need is to write them a song.
Now you haven't heard it yet, so don't try to sing along,
No, don't sing along...
Monica, Monica,
Have a Happy Hanukkah!
Saw Santa Claus,
He said hello to Ross.
And please tell Joey,
Christmas will be snowy!!
And Rachel and Chandler,
Ha ah ha ah handler!"

I love this song, by Phoebe!Smile always makes me chuckle.

My Fav season was 4!!

MrsRayOfSunshine · 30/01/2015 22:59

All of them! but especially when Mike comes in.

But my fav episode has to be the one with sofa, PIVOT, PIVOT!

I'm laughing just thinking about it!

FamiliesShareGerms · 30/01/2015 23:05

Mike was the best extra character, I think. Richard close second, then Janice

MrsRayOfSunshine · 30/01/2015 23:09

Agree Mike is the best germs I still love Paul Rudd in anything he's in

HayDayRookie · 31/01/2015 00:31

Ross and Monicas parents are always funny. Plus Christina A and Reese W as Rachel's sisters. Falafel? Grin

yumyumpoppycat · 31/01/2015 00:41

The one where 'chandler watches shark porn!!!!'

I like the series where phoebe has triplets, whatever happened to the triplets Confused

I love friends might have to start the box set again now and decide which series really is my favourite

CuntWagon · 31/01/2015 00:54

My favourite episodes are any where there is a fight, like the Thanksgiving ball game in the park Grin

Ellenora5 · 31/01/2015 00:57

I'm not good with advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment :)

I love Chandler, he is my favourite

Bluetone · 31/01/2015 01:03

My favourite scene is PIVOT. Not keen on the whole episode.

Bluetone · 31/01/2015 01:05

Oh I do like the one where no one is ready but can't watch the end when Rachel tells Ross she's going commando and struts out the door. It really pisses me off for some reason.

Whenever we move any kind of furniture we always yell PIVOT, PIVOT!

I love Mike.

I think all seasons have their highlights tbh. Is it 10 when Joey goes on that ganeshow? " Paper, snow, a ghost!"

JessieMcJessie · 31/01/2015 07:34

"none of them have had happy fulfilled lives"?
Think you've been reading a bit too many "Sad Jen" stories in GraziaJackieHarris.

They are all exceedingly rich and speak quite fondly of doing the show; some may have remained closer than others but we never found out that some of them actually hated the others. They are all still alive and in good health, no post-Friends tragic booze or drugs deaths. JA and CC are good friends IRL still, David Schwimmer has a nice unhollywoody English wife and a modest directing career, OK so a few of them got divorced but that happens to most actors and doesn't mean their lives were ruined forever. MP had a tough time with the painkiller addiction but you don't hear many bad things about his life these days. Lisa Kudrow pops up in decent American TV like Scandal now and again. I think they're all fine!
