Because we all love a Friends thread Grin

Best episode - Rachel puts beef in the trifle.

Worst episode - Ross and Joey secretly nap together.

Yours?

Best - Joey and Mr Treager ballroom dancing on the roof. I think that was an early episode and I never see anyone mentioning it!

Worst - Joey successfully bidding for a boat at a charity dinner, when he has no money.That made me feel uncomfortable.

Strokethefurrywall · 19/05/2019 18:57

Best: The one with the midnight mystery kisser

Worst: the one with phoebes mum at the beach.

Any episode that featured Monica and Ross's family relationship humored me especially when it also involves Jack and Judy!

ChristmasFluff · 19/05/2019 18:58

The ones that made me cry laughing were:
the one where they are all in wedding dresses, and Rachel unwittingly opens the door to the guy she's trying to play it cool with and goes, 'I dooooo!'

The Valentine one where Chandler re-gifts a romantic mix tape to Monica and just as it is romantic, Janice's voice joins in

The one where Joey then Monica each have the turkey on their head

The meat trifle

The game show where Joey keeps going, 'a ghost!'

Ones I don't like:
When they aren't ready
Losing the apartment
Monkey and Emily ones
The one where Ross's new girlfriend shaves her head/all the pages, both sides

SanFranBear · 19/05/2019 19:03

I really hate the one where Monica & Chandler get engaged.. I can't watch it.

Genuinely love the rest though - very soothing tv!

springgreensunshine · 19/05/2019 19:03

Best- when Joey and Chandler leave Ben on the bus.

Worst- the flashbacks

OneKeyAtATime · 19/05/2019 19:04

Which one is the one where they're not ready that everyone is referring to?

Catchingbentcoppers · 19/05/2019 19:06

Which one is the one where they're not ready that everyone is referring to?

Is it the one where Ross was going to drink the fat to get Rachel to come to his event?

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 19/05/2019 19:13

Is it the one where Ross was going to drink the fat to get Rachel to come to his event?

Yes.
I agree with pp. It is one of the worst ones.

optimisticpessimist01 · 19/05/2019 19:21

Best: The one with Ross's leather trousers
The one where the boys win the girls apartment

Worst: The one where they all nearly sleep together

ThatCurlyGirl · 19/05/2019 19:29

I hate the flashback ones (to bits from old episodes) coz I feel like they're cheating! Next worst are the ones with flashbacks to the actual past eg chandlers toe getting knifed. I actually loved the Brad Pitt one and also have a soft spot for the Barbados malarkey!

Seriously though it isn't a patch on Frasier or Seinfeld for me!

myhamster · 19/05/2019 19:30

I hate all the clip flashback episodes like when they send out the wedding invites, as it’s just rehashing old stuff and yes it’s cheating. (I don’t mean the actual flashbacks like almost and what if, and college stuff, as that’s new stuff).

My favourite line is from the midnight mystery kisser. “You were my first kiss with Rachel?” “You were my first kiss ever!?” Chandler says “What did I marry into?!” 😂😂

Best episode is when Monica’s parents find out about Richard at their party.

ThatCurlyGirl · 19/05/2019 19:30

On and mike. I love mike. I definitely would. Thought him and yetI / regatta gala guy were the same person for ages 😂

tor8181 · 19/05/2019 19:32

best 0
worse every one

ive never like friends and dont understand the hype when it first came out(i was a teenager then) and that people are still in to it these days

Prettypetal85 · 19/05/2019 19:34

Can’t think of the best one but my worst one must be the one where Rachel has just given birth to Emma and thinks Joey has proposed and says yes. The whole confusion between Ross, Rachel and Joey goes on far too long and is frankly ridiculous

francienolan · 19/05/2019 19:39

Best: pivot, Phoebe's wedding (any with Mike), Monica and Chandler get engaged

Worst: when Ross lies to Rachel and says that he got the annulment, when Rachel is pursuing Joshua

dayswithaY · 19/05/2019 19:44

My faves are when Rachel had two birthday parties to keep her parents apart. Also love the one with Ross and the keyboard and his "wordless sound poems" . Absolute worse episode was when Joey has to strip naked to get a part and he tells them he hasn't been circumcised even though he has. Monica helps him by making a foreskin out of Playdoh then luncheon meat. What were the writers thinking?

babynugget · 19/05/2019 19:45

Oh yes! I also love the one where no-one is ready! Friends at its best. 'The cushions are the essence of the chair' Grin

Gorillaandme · 19/05/2019 19:45

Loads of brilliant ones. Sandwich, The last episode and not forgetting Ross' tan 😆

Don't like the one were they are not ready, they are all just mugging Ross off and then he's made to look like the bad guy

ThatCurlyGirl · 19/05/2019 19:49

The worst- the one with chandlers new roommate- shudders

omg I LOOOOVE the Eddie ones, thinking about them they are probably my favourites!

Seeya pal Wink

dayswithaY · 19/05/2019 19:55

Love Eddie the room mate - Johnny New Eggs! But it's quite uncomfortable to watch them exploiting someone with mental health issues - when they lock him out and pretend he never lived there. Another example of Friends not ageing well.

Parttimewasteoftime · 19/05/2019 20:07

Love the Richard ones and pivot. Hate the clips esp one with the wedding invite and Rachel refuses to go! Loves Friends forgot about the monkey that was strange...

Butterymuffin · 19/05/2019 20:11

Best: no one's ready, Rachel's trifle, apartment quiz, Thanksgiving Geller Cup, where Monica and Chandler get together and the run from that until it's all revealed, the Barbados one where Mike proposes and then he and Monica play table tennis

Worst: where Monica and Chandler lie about their identities to the adoption people (I dislike that one too), Carol and Susan's wedding (because Ross for once is unfairly put under pressure), the one where Rachel teaches Ben practical jokes, the one with the party for Howard the janitor.

MabelMoo23 · 19/05/2019 20:15

Love friends!!!

They know we know they know we know is up there with the best.

Ross's tan, leather pants, pivot, the quiz when chandler comes through the door riding the dog statue

Worst. Flashbacks defo. Waste of time and lazy writing

Chickenwing · 19/05/2019 20:26

The best were thise with Ross' funny moments: MY sandwich, I'm fine!, the tan, the leather pants, PIVOT, unagi, the keyboard, the routine he did with Monika.. I could go on, he was the best charachter and so funny.

I also don't like flashbacks to previous episodes.

Gorillaandme · 19/05/2019 20:37

@Chickenwing I agree with you. Ross was the strongest character and his funny moments where the best episodes.

I love when he gets nervous and does the British accent and when he has to roller skate to class 😆
