6/7/2023 0 Comments Friends episodes“Ross Is Fine” (Season 10, Episode 2)ĭavid Schwimmer as Ross has always aced at physical comedy throughout the run of ‘Friends’ (remember ‘Pivot’), but he is in full form as a bumbling, drunk idiot in this episode, where he is trying his best to show that he is’fiiiiiine’ with Joey and Rachel being together. This episode is a constant barrage of one-liners, chuck-full with some of the most quotable lines from the show. On the other hand, a bunch of sloppy moves from Chandler (like leaving undies on couches and video cams and naked pictures in the open) and Monica raise the suspicion of the others, on which they promptly throw poor Joey under the bus. The latter arc reaches its peak in this episode, where Ross loses it over someone eating the only good thing in his life – his Thanksgiving sandwich. The first half of Season 5 saw most of its laughs originating from Chandler and Monica vying to keep their relationship under wraps and Ross trying to deal with his broken marriage. A reminder of how how far the friends have come. Once you’ve watched ‘The Last One’, this one feels like a fond memory. It is a lighthearted caper (much like the entire first season), featuring friends, old and new, just having a good time, while also setting the all-important Ross-Rachel storyline in motion. The pilot of the series shows off all the quirks and whims which the characters would soon make their own. The beauty of this episode is that it makes you feel like you’ve known Ross, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler and Joey for ages, and Rachel is the newbie you’re meeting for the first time too. Yes, the very first one, and in my opinion the most underrated episode of the series. But when he gets out of the shower he ties a towel around his waist. Joey and Chandler’s infantile banter for the chair (and then its ‘essence’) is the highlight though! Best Quote: Chandler: Donald Duck never wears pants. Rachel can’t decide what to wear, Monica is hung up over a message from her ex, Chandler and Joey fight over the comfiest chair in the room which ruins the dress of Phoebe, the only person who did get ready! The entire episode is bottled up inside a single room, thus elevating all the proceedings. The premise of this episode is simple – Ross has a speech at a black-tie event for which the gang has to leave in 26 minutes, but no one is ready. One of the beauties of ‘Friends’ is the way the show used simple, even rundown tropes and still managed to elicit quality laughter. But here they are, the list of funniest and best Friends episodes (In my humble opinion, so don’t unleash your wrath on me ‘Friends’ snobs!)ġ2. Selecting just 12 episodes which trump all else in humour, thus, is a herculean feat. Susie: "Well um, why don't you call me in 20 years and tell me if you're still upset about this." 20.I’m one of those fanboys who’ve watched every episode half a dozen times, and still find themselves returning for a random quick peek once in a while. How could you still be upset about that?" I was Susie Underpants 'till I was 18."Ĭhandler: "That was in the fourth grade. Susie: "My skirt, you lifted, kids laughing. It’s a brilliant couple of episodes, where every character gets their hilarious time in the spotlight. Oh, and Joey goes on a date with his very first stalker. Phoebe briefly dates Chris Isaak, and The Simpsons voice actor Dan Castellaneta plays a janitor who reveals the true location of Marcel to Ross. It’s one of the first of Friends’ star-studded double episodes, and features a cameo from Jean Claude Van Damme (who has a crush on Rachel, but ends up inviting Monica for a threesome with Drew Barrymore) and a non-cameo from Julia Roberts (who leaves Chandler naked in a restaurant bathroom). This two-parter (the most-watched two episodes of the entire seres) sees Ross reunite with Marcel the monkey, who is in New York filming Outbreak 2. "The One After The Superbowl" (Season 2, episodes 12 and 13) Joey: "I was gonna do it! Really! But I was standing there with $327 in one hand and $238 in the other hand, and I was thinking, ‘Wow! It’s been a long time since I had… $327 plus $238!" 21. Throughout the episode, the jokes are strong and the situational comedy is sharp. Of course, things do not end well for Ross, who ends up finishing things with them both – but not before falling asleep on the train and ending up in Montreal. Meanwhile, Ross is dating two women at once – one from the city, the other he meets on a train to Poughkeepsie. When she tries to fire Joey to demonstrate her authority, the actor refuses to leave because he makes too much money in tips (and he gets to call himself Dragon). Monica hires Joey at her restaurant because the other kitchen staff are picking on her and she wants an ally. While often overlooked as one of the best episodes of Friends, "The One With The Girl From Poughkeepsie" is a genuine gem.
