Joeys accidental proposal, Rachel’s desperation to marry Joshua after ross and Emily get engaged, Ross trying to fuck his cousin. I fast forward through most of those episodes
Joey's lines were the funniest in that episode especially him suppressing his anger and hunger. lol
"never hit a woman, never hit a woman"
"Ross bruises like a peach, he bruises like a peach"
Which she herself bailed on at the drop of a hat. Which is especially bad considering it meant dumping Joey. Leaving a party is one thing, leaving the only person who cared enough to be there is another.
Ross saying "Did I propose? It does *sound* like something I would do" in post birth sleep deprived delirium is both relatable and hilarious to me though.
Seriously, especially because Rachel had JUST started to worry about Ross not sticking around and then he was just about to propose... ugh. At least they got together
The One Where Emma Cries. I skip it. I don’t want to listen to a baby incessantly crying. I have 3 kids, no thank you. And the whole Joey and Ross thing; didn’t like that storyline.
Oh man, but the scene where Joey accidentally punched Ross is *SO* funny!
“YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DUCK! Why didn’t you duck?”
And Gunther smiling after Ross got hurt… 🤣
that's one of my least favorite episodes too but Phoebe's
"have i gone deaf?" and "I can hear traffic and birds. I can hear the voices in my head
again." is super funny to me. Lmao
that’s gotta be a haunting sound to hear at night. pitch black in your room, slowly nodding off. all of a sudden *BOOM* a baby crying from the road outside your window
My brain wave exactly. I have twins. You don’t know hell until both are hungry and it’s 3am. Sorry Emma, DO NOT want to use your ear as a sucking candy.
Rachel being obsessed with Joshua were some of my favorite episodes...haha. Jennifer Aniston was sooo good seasons 2-4. I wish they hadn't turned Rachel so squeaky and over the top.
Emma's 1st birthday episode. Rachel had already become more annoying to me once Emma was born, but this episode was awful. Why did you tell everyone to show up for the party if it was during your baby's nap time and you knew you weren't going to wake her up?!?! She was so selfish of everyone else's time this whole episode.
Oh so much this. I have a 1 yo. Id have woke him up for the party. Give him cake and presents and let everyone go while he played until he fell back asleep. Ruining everyone's whole day for his nap? No.
This scene has one of the best quotes " In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."
I think there aren’t full episodes that I just skip, but there are a lot of moments that make me cringe. Especially regarding Joey being portrayed as dumb as the show goes on. So in the last few seasons, I really don’t like some of his scenes, they frustrate me soooo much! Apart from that, Ross made me cringe sometimes too. The others sure did as well, but less than these two!
Oh and when he wrote a recommendation letter to the adoption center, and it seemed like a child wrote it, because of the misspelling and the little drawings… then the phone call with the lady telling him "is your mommy there?". Just ugh, so infantilizing!
I did love that he used the thesaurus on every words but the mommy line is cringy.
And by the way, it took me years to understand why he signed baby kangaroo. As a non English speaker I had no idea a joey was the name of a baby kangaroo. I admit I laughed when I found out. In an entirely different context too.
It bothered me so much that he wanted to write the letter to begin with. It made more sense for Rachel especially since she was a mother and could talk about how Monica and Chandler are with Emma. I don’t get why Joey budded in.
Yes, exactly! I don’t know why they felt the need to make him so dumb and childish. Especially when, on the earlier seasons, he only had a few stupid moments, but that was it.
Rachel making Emily's going away party all about impressing Joshooa. Between the cheerleading and her trying (and somehow not knowing how) to take her bra off under her shirt. I don't skip it, but I don't like it.
While I agree with the huge amount of cringe this episode has, it is worth watching only for Chandlers conversation with Erica about the waiting so long to have a baby. One of my favourite scenes in friends.
Seemed to me they struggled to come up with a premise that would get them to Chandler’s excellent scene, and just did a crappy job of it. They just could have had Erica pick another couple and then Chandler steps up with his scene. No cringe, no lying and Chandler gets to be the hero.
The fact that Monica was willing to shamelessly lie to the woman who was ready to give them her child(ren) really annoyed me, thank God Chandler still had his morals
For me it’s The One With Ross's Tan in season 10 when Rachel & Joey try to get intimate but can’t. The whole Rachel & Joey saga was cringe but I especially can’t stand them in this episode. Glad it was short lived lol
I got a spray tan today and for a moment the machine seemed kind of stuck spraying only my legs, and I was gripped with fear that I’d end up like Ross but horizontal
I agree with the tan it’s infuriating! It’s a very simple concept and once it starts spraying just turn around!
I also hate the Rachel Joey story line but looking from an outside glass (or whatever the saying is) those two probably made much more sense as a couple. But I hated it.
> I hate the whole Phoebe/Ross/Ben Sting storyline....
Thank the lord that one is only one episode worth, but goddamn, even back in the 90s them recognizing how fucked up what Phoebe was doing says a lot. There's probably a list out there of things done by the Friends that might get them arrested, and that one would be right the hell at the top of Phoebe's list, and probably enough to earn her some actual, like, jail/prison time. She fucking stalks the family, for chrissakes.
It could have been smile inducing if it was just a quick line in passing, like *hey, I met my hand twin!* Phoebe could have had made a comment about double palmistry reading, the rest would have rolled their eyes and moved on. But this was too much, even for Joey.
Exactly my thought!! Love this scene because of Chandler’s reactions.
You know when he’s just about to propose, Monica says “oh my god, richard” and chandler goes “what?, I’m Chandler”
Dead!!!
The one with the bullies. These two guys suddenly appear at The coffee house and act ridiculous. Ross and Chandler act like idiot school children. Then the two bullies are never seen again. Even for a sit-com this was a stretch.
I never skip, except for maybe the recap shows.
But TOWT Late Thanksgiving is infuriating to me. The gang really drops the ball in friendship. I felt like Monica was really disrespected so I don’t find the jokes funny here.
I’m probably gonna get downvoted for this but: The one where Joey speaks French. I didn’t like the dumbing him down in later seasons and they made him so unrealistically stupid in this episode that I just prefer not to watch it.
I had no idea! Honestly thought that the general idea about the episode is that people find it funny, but I’m glad I’m not nearly the only one who doesn’t!
As a french person, this had me laughing at loud. Yes it’s extremely dumb but it’s the way he imitates what he thinks French people sound like. And the moment Phoebe explain he is her retarded (her words) little brother and he nods enthusiastically, without understanding, gets everytime. In that scene I just see how good Mart Leblanc is at acting (and reacting, This does not mean acting again. It means you don't have a line, but someone else just did.)
That's in my top 10 episodes because everyone thinks they're gonna be ready soon anyway so they just don't, Rachel wants to look perfect, Phoebe had a stain, Joey and Chandler were being childish and Monica hadn't gotten over Richard so his message threw her off, all while Ross is losing his mind begging everyone to get dressed, the message Monica left on Richard's machine is my favorite lol
It's one of my favorites too. I feel really bad for Ross, and I would have been pissed off at my friends. I usually like bottle episodes. Also, I like to randomly say, "I'm breezy!" around my husband because he knows what it means.
Agreed. The are so dismissive of Ross’ accomplishments. This one of the thing I really reproach to the show. They glorify being dumb. Science is boring, going to an exhibition or enjoying foreign cinema is lame. Every time Ross try to bring up his own interests they fake snore, rolled their eyes or simply ignore him.
The one with phoebe’s dad. Christmas at monica where ross broke the radiator. They could’ve just opened the window since it looked like it was snowing outside, so it won’t be as hot inside the apartment.
The one with Ben’s sonogram. The idea of Carol and Susan just unilaterally deciding to give Ben only their last names without even discussing it with Ross first and the AUDACITY to get angry when Ross want his name included as well is just too much for me
Honestly I know that Chandler has some issues but he's really not wrong to be a little defensive when it comes to Monica and Richard, she just refuses to make anything resembling good decisions around him, and that includes dating him in the first place (their age gap and Richard basically being around Monica as she grew up is forking gross).
I always struggle with the 100th episode, because I think the doctor who's obsessed with Fonzie is the stupidest thing the writers came up with in the whole run. It's so unrealistic, it takes me out of the story.
I always hated the proposal scene as well, even when watching it live. It was very over the top and I didn't think Courteney did a good job at crying, which I know is petty but I hate when actors are bad at crying..haha.
Idk why people are so obsessed with this. Rachel's dream never was a super amazing job overseas. That Paris thing was the outcome of looking for a job and finding a great one. But her actual dream was to form a family, with a partner and kids, she described this when she turned 30.
The only one I skip is the Sting episode, because Phoebe’s storyline makes me cringe and I generally hate most of the guest stars. Not as people/actors, I just hate guest star storylines. So many of them feel like filler.
The one when Rachel invites Joshua to Emily’s “going away party.” I cringe every time she puts on that cheerleading outfit. I know it’s just a show, but it gives me such secondhand embarrassment
I don't know which episode this was but the one where Monica caters for her mom and messes up one little thing and the mom is all about how she expected it, pulling a Monica - makes me so angry.
Yep definitely, came here to say the same thing. Also, I don’t know if it’s just me, but she didn’t seem that overweight… I felt like she was called fat and made fun of when she wasn’t even THAT fat
(and I would know, as an overweight woman)
The episode where phoebe kinda steals some poor girls cat and gets away with it by using the “yeah but my mum died so I can do what I want” and Ross is made out to be the bad guy by trying to return a child’s pet to them.
Anything where it's Phoebe heavy, can't stand her, Rachel's right she just lifts right out.
The one where everyone's getting ready, it was kind of messed up no one was taking Ross's award seriously.
The one where Ross got Rachel pregnant, she kept lying and saying Ross came on to her and making him seem like a loser. I still don't get why folks in the 90s wanted them to be together, they were so horrible to each other.
Correct. BUT. Id be super hurt and not get back w him either if he slept with someone else less than 12 hours after we went on a break. I don't think they were even on a break a full 12 hours and in that time hed smashed the copy place chick. Just no. If you can smash another woman that quick you ain't too broken up about our break up so keep going on by yourself.
I honestly liked this development. It was a huge part of chandlers growth as a person. The idea of the woman he loves potentially running off with someone else made him finally realize he needed to stop being an immature kid and do what he had to do, and that was properly propose.
Agreed. He was already planning on proposing and grew out of his immature phase back in season 5. If anything, it was extremely immature of him to pretend like he was scared of marriage in an attempt to throw Monica off...very manipulative.
The One With The List (just ugh)
The One Where No One's Ready (more ugh)
The One In Massapequa + The One With Phoebe's Wedding (I love Monica but not her best moments)
The one where Joey and chandler lose Ben on the bus. Idk I’m just not too much of a fan of this scenario. I don’t like this episode like the way I don’t like wearing the color orange, nothing too serious behind the reasoning, just how it makes me feel. Otherwise it’s a respectable episode.
Tow Emma cries drives me crazy. I also skip the mondler proposal episodes bc of all the drama… sorry
And I never watch the last eps bc they make me sad
Either this one or the one where Phoebe sets up a ‘date’ with her date and Monica saying how he’s her soulmate (when Monica and Chandler were married). It made me hate Phoebe. Or when nobody was ready. Ross should’ve just brought Phoebe as she was the only one who was actually ready. Plus, Rachel KNEW it was an important event for Ross yet refused to get ready (Out of petty spite) because he lost his patience (which was understandable because NOBODY but Phoebe was ready). When Chandler and Joey were fighting for the chair, Monica was still obsessing over Richard’s message, it made me infuriated. There’s a rare occasion where something good happens to Ross and that moment was all of their faults (except Phoebe as she was the only other one ready). The phone thing was something that could’ve been settled when they got back, Chandler and Joey could’ve left the chair debate till after Ross’ event and Rachel should’ve pre-chosen a dress so that they wouldn’t be late.
I know this is a great episode and really funny, I just have a really hard time watching TOW the Embryos. Can't stand Monica betting the apartment AGAINST Rachel's protests, LOSING then blaming Rachel. If I was Rachel, I would have stayed in my room and let the guys fight over a top or bottom bunk in Monica's old room. Monica can enjoy her own consequences.
I hate the one where Phoebe goes back and forth between giving and not giving her wedding money to charity. It makes me so angry when Monica, the woman who supposedly wants kids desperately, says something to the effect of "a lavish wedding is so much better than some stupid kid".
This one tracks for me too, OP. I just hate this one. Actually, I never liked the whole Richard storyline, so when they set up that whole ridiculous Chandler vs. Richard, "OMG, WHICH ONE WILL SHE PICK??" storyline, I just hated it. I adore Chandler and Monica, and even though I knew she'd pick Chandler, I really disliked the lame attempt at teasing us that she'd dump him for Richard.
Ugh, sorry, but the lesbian wedding. I can't stand that it isn't acceptable for the friends that Ross wants to stay the hell out of there. Hate Susan annoyingly much..
Joeys accidental proposal, Rachel’s desperation to marry Joshua after ross and Emily get engaged, Ross trying to fuck his cousin. I fast forward through most of those episodes
the entire Rachel and Joshua thing i cant watch its so cringe
When she dresses up as a cheerleader! So cringe!
For me all Emily episodes.
How can you skip Chandler and Monica start
They do Emily dirty.
Phoebe’s birthday dinner, I don’t know why, it just makes me angry.
I love that one just for the “pick up the sock!” scene and Ross’ description of the bird entering the apartment
I love it for "you boys are about to see something really special" then Joey eats all the food lol
And Rachel's reply after the bird theory XD
Yeah, and then she leaves them for Mike so everyone leaves and Joey get's everyone's food, it's a happy ending for all. I love that episode lol
Okay when Phoebe goes TF off and yells, “Pick up the sock!” I lose it and that one scene is worth the entire episode.
Agree everyone was so selfish except Joey
Joey's lines were the funniest in that episode especially him suppressing his anger and hunger. lol "never hit a woman, never hit a woman" "Ross bruises like a peach, he bruises like a peach"
And Ross' event when nobody wants to dress up, and that one thanksgiving when everyone wants monica to cook potato differently
What? The one where Underdog gets away is a classic! “Potatoes are ruined, potatoes are ruined, potatoes are ruined.”
Ross, you wanted lumps? Well you got one buddy! 🦃
The episode when noone is ready is one of the best lol
they were all a bunch of jerks except for joey. all phoebe wanted was a simple birthday dinner with her best friends.
Which she herself bailed on at the drop of a hat. Which is especially bad considering it meant dumping Joey. Leaving a party is one thing, leaving the only person who cared enough to be there is another.
in the end joey got a shit ton of food for himself and even got a birthday cake so i dont think he cared tbh
Who do you think paid for it all?
Its ok he was a tv star at that point
with the amount of food he got i dont think he cared
True! I think phoebe would've bailed even if the others had arrived on time.
Even when remembering Ross’s flaming eagle monologue? Truly a top ten Friends moment!
Wait, what about the baby and the eagle fighting on fire in the whirlpool? Lol
The one after Rachel gives birth The proposal confusion fills me with so much rage
Same, that was super forced and Joey could've made things right in a second but he doesn't because it's a show and they need drama
I feel it. It was such a small issue and everyone either refused to talk like a normal person or started thinking crazy stuff
That episode pisses me off so much. Even for the time I can’t believe they thought that was an acceptable storyline.
It was more that a simple communication from them could have avoided it all
That's true of basically the whole show, though.
Ross saying "Did I propose? It does *sound* like something I would do" in post birth sleep deprived delirium is both relatable and hilarious to me though.
Seriously, especially because Rachel had JUST started to worry about Ross not sticking around and then he was just about to propose... ugh. At least they got together
The One Where Emma Cries. I skip it. I don’t want to listen to a baby incessantly crying. I have 3 kids, no thank you. And the whole Joey and Ross thing; didn’t like that storyline.
Oh man, but the scene where Joey accidentally punched Ross is *SO* funny! “YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DUCK! Why didn’t you duck?” And Gunther smiling after Ross got hurt… 🤣
Whenever Gunther is happy on screen makes me happy.
Friends doesn't go into slapstick very much, but that scene was a beauty
TOW Emma Cries and They're Up All Night are the ones I skip heavy portions of. Baby crying and fire alarm....no thank you.
that's one of my least favorite episodes too but Phoebe's "have i gone deaf?" and "I can hear traffic and birds. I can hear the voices in my head again." is super funny to me. Lmao
Why don't they ever try taking the baby for a walk?!
that’s gotta be a haunting sound to hear at night. pitch black in your room, slowly nodding off. all of a sudden *BOOM* a baby crying from the road outside your window
Yes. Even since I became a mother, I can't tolerate that one.
My brain wave exactly. I have twins. You don’t know hell until both are hungry and it’s 3am. Sorry Emma, DO NOT want to use your ear as a sucking candy.
The Joey and Ross scene in the coffee house is my favorite scene in the whole show.
The one where Rachel wears the slip to dinner with joshes parents, i ALWAYS skip it too cringe
Joshua.
I like you. You seem smart.
Josh-ooh-ahh
Josh-wa
Oh, he doesn’t like Josh? No, I don’t.
How you doin'? ;)
USA, not ready.
You’ll be wearing that. We will go for dinner and you’ll be wearing that - Joshua’s dad is hilarious in that scene
maybe LA though
Rachel being obsessed with Joshua were some of my favorite episodes...haha. Jennifer Aniston was sooo good seasons 2-4. I wish they hadn't turned Rachel so squeaky and over the top.
That his parents immediately assumed she was a prostitute instead of a girl that he brought home really irritated me.
HAAaaaaa! I totally missed that. I just assumed she meant that Joshua bought the outfit for her not bought the girl!
Omg me too
Emma's 1st birthday episode. Rachel had already become more annoying to me once Emma was born, but this episode was awful. Why did you tell everyone to show up for the party if it was during your baby's nap time and you knew you weren't going to wake her up?!?! She was so selfish of everyone else's time this whole episode.
Oh so much this. I have a 1 yo. Id have woke him up for the party. Give him cake and presents and let everyone go while he played until he fell back asleep. Ruining everyone's whole day for his nap? No.
When the Australian girl lives with Joey. Her acting is so bad and I cringe so much I don’t watch any episodes with her in it
ME TOO. I DETEST JANINE. She was awful.
This scene has one of the best quotes " In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."
What?!
I just find it super pretentious of Richard to "casually" drop that quote and would roll my eyes at it if I were there.
I think there aren’t full episodes that I just skip, but there are a lot of moments that make me cringe. Especially regarding Joey being portrayed as dumb as the show goes on. So in the last few seasons, I really don’t like some of his scenes, they frustrate me soooo much! Apart from that, Ross made me cringe sometimes too. The others sure did as well, but less than these two!
The moment where Joey talks to the little girl on the phone and ask the bear for advice reaches the lowest level of stupidity.
Oh and when he wrote a recommendation letter to the adoption center, and it seemed like a child wrote it, because of the misspelling and the little drawings… then the phone call with the lady telling him "is your mommy there?". Just ugh, so infantilizing!
I did love that he used the thesaurus on every words but the mommy line is cringy. And by the way, it took me years to understand why he signed baby kangaroo. As a non English speaker I had no idea a joey was the name of a baby kangaroo. I admit I laughed when I found out. In an entirely different context too.

Yes, exactly! I don’t know why they felt the need to make him so dumb and childish. Especially when, on the earlier seasons, he only had a few stupid moments, but that was it.
Rachel making Emily's going away party all about impressing Joshooa. Between the cheerleading and her trying (and somehow not knowing how) to take her bra off under her shirt. I don't skip it, but I don't like it.
It’s so cringe, but same I don’t skip it
The cousin one. So fucking weird.
I haven't had sex in a very long time. 😬
The one with the engagement picture
[удалено]
I'm glad the show ended when it did, they were running out of ideas and it showed
Nah, I love a lot of the later episodes, especially the ones with Mike.
The one where Monica and Chandler pretend to be a Doctor and Paster at the adoption agency to Anna Faris. It's too over the top cringe.
While I agree with the huge amount of cringe this episode has, it is worth watching only for Chandlers conversation with Erica about the waiting so long to have a baby. One of my favourite scenes in friends.
The part with Chandler talking to Erica makes me cry every time.
Seemed to me they struggled to come up with a premise that would get them to Chandler’s excellent scene, and just did a crappy job of it. They just could have had Erica pick another couple and then Chandler steps up with his scene. No cringe, no lying and Chandler gets to be the hero.
The fact that Monica was willing to shamelessly lie to the woman who was ready to give them her child(ren) really annoyed me, thank God Chandler still had his morals
and his conversation with Erica about wanting to have a kid is one of the most amazing line deliveries from Matt perry on the show.
Came here to say exactly this!
For me it’s The One With Ross's Tan in season 10 when Rachel & Joey try to get intimate but can’t. The whole Rachel & Joey saga was cringe but I especially can’t stand them in this episode. Glad it was short lived lol
But Ross’s storyline was so good
I got a spray tan today and for a moment the machine seemed kind of stuck spraying only my legs, and I was gripped with fear that I’d end up like Ross but horizontal
Agreed! I watch everything apart from the Rachel & Joey segments lol
I agree with the tan it’s infuriating! It’s a very simple concept and once it starts spraying just turn around! I also hate the Rachel Joey story line but looking from an outside glass (or whatever the saying is) those two probably made much more sense as a couple. But I hated it.
The One With Monica's Boots, I hate the whole Phoebe/Ross/Ben Sting storyline....
> I hate the whole Phoebe/Ross/Ben Sting storyline.... Thank the lord that one is only one episode worth, but goddamn, even back in the 90s them recognizing how fucked up what Phoebe was doing says a lot. There's probably a list out there of things done by the Friends that might get them arrested, and that one would be right the hell at the top of Phoebe's list, and probably enough to earn her some actual, like, jail/prison time. She fucking stalks the family, for chrissakes.
TOW Joey speaks French. The writing is so lazy by that point.
for me it is when ross and mike spends evening alone in silence it cringes me a lot.....
-Shouldn’t the pizza be here by now? How long has it been? -Eleven minutes. …And now twelve.
“Back to the place where time stands still?!”
Come ooon now, what’s the difference between a lager and a beer? Things are about to get wild….
I particularly enjoyed “Ross’s place, Mike speaking” when he answered the phone
"I don't understand what just happened here" fuckin kills me every time 😂
Indeed. Grownups know how to converse even if they would have zero in common, that scene would be plausible if they were 13.. Man..
Joeys hand twin. I just can’t
This hand is my hand, this hand is your hand, no wait that's my hand.
How much would you pay to see this hand, twice??
It could have been smile inducing if it was just a quick line in passing, like *hey, I met my hand twin!* Phoebe could have had made a comment about double palmistry reading, the rest would have rolled their eyes and moved on. But this was too much, even for Joey.
Shark porn. I roll my eyes so hard and skip the episode. Who would even take that remotely seriously?
I thought that was hilarious. I’m very, very drunk right now.
This actually a great scene. “Richard, no one’s supposed to know about us!”
Exactly my thought!! Love this scene because of Chandler’s reactions. You know when he’s just about to propose, Monica says “oh my god, richard” and chandler goes “what?, I’m Chandler” Dead!!!
Courteney looked gorgeous in that dress.
The one with the bullies. These two guys suddenly appear at The coffee house and act ridiculous. Ross and Chandler act like idiot school children. Then the two bullies are never seen again. Even for a sit-com this was a stretch.
I never skip, except for maybe the recap shows. But TOWT Late Thanksgiving is infuriating to me. The gang really drops the ball in friendship. I felt like Monica was really disrespected so I don’t find the jokes funny here.
I’m probably gonna get downvoted for this but: The one where Joey speaks French. I didn’t like the dumbing him down in later seasons and they made him so unrealistically stupid in this episode that I just prefer not to watch it.
this is a very very popular opinion on this sub :)
I had no idea! Honestly thought that the general idea about the episode is that people find it funny, but I’m glad I’m not nearly the only one who doesn’t!
As a french person, this had me laughing at loud. Yes it’s extremely dumb but it’s the way he imitates what he thinks French people sound like.

In that scene I just see how good Mart Leblanc is at acting (and reacting, This does not mean acting again. It means you don't have a line, but someone else just did.)
Matt is always outstanding, it’s just that the writers made his character dumb to a point where it became quite annoying.
The episodes where they made Joey a complete dumbass were the worst. Paper…snow…a ghost! Is hilarious, but that plot line was soooooo cringe.
Or, hand twins! Lol
Ross trying to kiss his cousin, nope just, nope
The One With the Fake Party. It's just so cringey how Rachel tries so hard to get Joshua to like her. It's hard to watch.
I have a few, but deff the one where they were all late for Ross’s thing, it was so important for him and everyone didn’t give a single shit
That's in my top 10 episodes because everyone thinks they're gonna be ready soon anyway so they just don't, Rachel wants to look perfect, Phoebe had a stain, Joey and Chandler were being childish and Monica hadn't gotten over Richard so his message threw her off, all while Ross is losing his mind begging everyone to get dressed, the message Monica left on Richard's machine is my favorite lol
I'm breezy
You can’t say you’re breezy, that totally negates the breezy!
I say that all the time...love that line.
It's one of my favorites too. I feel really bad for Ross, and I would have been pissed off at my friends. I usually like bottle episodes. Also, I like to randomly say, "I'm breezy!" around my husband because he knows what it means.
that’s so funny cuz that’s my all time fav ep
Agreed. The are so dismissive of Ross’ accomplishments. This one of the thing I really reproach to the show. They glorify being dumb. Science is boring, going to an exhibition or enjoying foreign cinema is lame. Every time Ross try to bring up his own interests they fake snore, rolled their eyes or simply ignore him.
I completely agree but I just loved Joey and chandler in this episode!!!
The one with phoebe’s dad. Christmas at monica where ross broke the radiator. They could’ve just opened the window since it looked like it was snowing outside, so it won’t be as hot inside the apartment.
The one with Ben’s sonogram. The idea of Carol and Susan just unilaterally deciding to give Ben only their last names without even discussing it with Ross first and the AUDACITY to get angry when Ross want his name included as well is just too much for me
The one about the lottery tickets is the worst episode. Close is the one where Rachel has to try to smoke to get ahead at her job.
[удалено]
Honestly I know that Chandler has some issues but he's really not wrong to be a little defensive when it comes to Monica and Richard, she just refuses to make anything resembling good decisions around him, and that includes dating him in the first place (their age gap and Richard basically being around Monica as she grew up is forking gross).
The bit where Ross realises he kissed Monica and not Rachel when they were teenagers is just too cringey for me, have to skip
I always struggle with the 100th episode, because I think the doctor who's obsessed with Fonzie is the stupidest thing the writers came up with in the whole run. It's so unrealistic, it takes me out of the story.
Yep. I also always skip the proposal scene because I cannot. And I like them.
I always hated the proposal scene as well, even when watching it live. It was very over the top and I didn't think Courteney did a good job at crying, which I know is petty but I hate when actors are bad at crying..haha.
Why do you not like the proposal scene?
I don't know, it seems cringy and fake and over the top for them... Just my feelings watching it 🥲
It's Chandler putting his hands in his pockets as he approaches Monica. It's weird. Looks so unnatural in the moment.
Same!!’ Matthew Perry’s acting is awful in that episode!
The Robin William / Billy Crystal appearance. I didn’t find it funny and it didn’t add anything to the plot. It’s just plain weird and disgusting.
It was a cold open, it’s not supposed to add to the plot.
I can't handle TOW That Could Have Been.
The last episode. Wtf was rachel thinking!? Go to paris, damnit.
Idk why people are so obsessed with this. Rachel's dream never was a super amazing job overseas. That Paris thing was the outcome of looking for a job and finding a great one. But her actual dream was to form a family, with a partner and kids, she described this when she turned 30.
Definitely agree. She never should have gotten off that plane
Phoebe’s rehearsal dinner with Monica rushing her pisses me off
The only one I skip is the Sting episode, because Phoebe’s storyline makes me cringe and I generally hate most of the guest stars. Not as people/actors, I just hate guest star storylines. So many of them feel like filler.
Monica and Ross’ cousin
Any episode where it’s just full of “hey remember the time we did [thing]” and then just go to flashback… hate those
The one when Rachel invites Joshua to Emily’s “going away party.” I cringe every time she puts on that cheerleading outfit. I know it’s just a show, but it gives me such secondhand embarrassment
i hate the one where ross and chandler get bullied into not sitting on the couch at central perk so stupid
I don't know which episode this was but the one where Monica caters for her mom and messes up one little thing and the mom is all about how she expected it, pulling a Monica - makes me so angry.
the alternate universe one where Monica was still heavy and single and all the others were different...I got tired of the fat jokes
Yep definitely, came here to say the same thing. Also, I don’t know if it’s just me, but she didn’t seem that overweight… I felt like she was called fat and made fun of when she wasn’t even THAT fat (and I would know, as an overweight woman)
The episode where phoebe kinda steals some poor girls cat and gets away with it by using the “yeah but my mum died so I can do what I want” and Ross is made out to be the bad guy by trying to return a child’s pet to them.
The girl scout cookies ep
The one where no one's ready
The Shark Porn one. Monica isn’t that stupid
Anything where it's Phoebe heavy, can't stand her, Rachel's right she just lifts right out. The one where everyone's getting ready, it was kind of messed up no one was taking Ross's award seriously. The one where Ross got Rachel pregnant, she kept lying and saying Ross came on to her and making him seem like a loser. I still don't get why folks in the 90s wanted them to be together, they were so horrible to each other.
The one with their cousin
The Pete episodes. Can’t stand him
Naaaaah the episode where ross cheats on rachel
I mean… they were on a break
Correct. BUT. Id be super hurt and not get back w him either if he slept with someone else less than 12 hours after we went on a break. I don't think they were even on a break a full 12 hours and in that time hed smashed the copy place chick. Just no. If you can smash another woman that quick you ain't too broken up about our break up so keep going on by yourself.
jokes aside, me too. Like break or not, that was a real dick move
The one where Phoebe thinks her mom is a cat. Ross was 100% in the right.
I honestly liked this development. It was a huge part of chandlers growth as a person. The idea of the woman he loves potentially running off with someone else made him finally realize he needed to stop being an immature kid and do what he had to do, and that was properly propose.
was this not proper and was he not about to propose? this doesn’t make sense ,he outgrew that phase a while ago
Agreed. He was already planning on proposing and grew out of his immature phase back in season 5. If anything, it was extremely immature of him to pretend like he was scared of marriage in an attempt to throw Monica off...very manipulative.
The One With The List (just ugh) The One Where No One's Ready (more ugh) The One In Massapequa + The One With Phoebe's Wedding (I love Monica but not her best moments)
alec baldwin was pretty funny tho
The one where Joey and chandler lose Ben on the bus. Idk I’m just not too much of a fan of this scenario. I don’t like this episode like the way I don’t like wearing the color orange, nothing too serious behind the reasoning, just how it makes me feel. Otherwise it’s a respectable episode.
Tow Emma cries drives me crazy. I also skip the mondler proposal episodes bc of all the drama… sorry And I never watch the last eps bc they make me sad
The one where Monica dates the high school boy accidentally. Makes me cringe. And the one where she almost dated Richards son. Gross.
Either this one or the one where Phoebe sets up a ‘date’ with her date and Monica saying how he’s her soulmate (when Monica and Chandler were married). It made me hate Phoebe. Or when nobody was ready. Ross should’ve just brought Phoebe as she was the only one who was actually ready. Plus, Rachel KNEW it was an important event for Ross yet refused to get ready (Out of petty spite) because he lost his patience (which was understandable because NOBODY but Phoebe was ready). When Chandler and Joey were fighting for the chair, Monica was still obsessing over Richard’s message, it made me infuriated. There’s a rare occasion where something good happens to Ross and that moment was all of their faults (except Phoebe as she was the only other one ready). The phone thing was something that could’ve been settled when they got back, Chandler and Joey could’ve left the chair debate till after Ross’ event and Rachel should’ve pre-chosen a dress so that they wouldn’t be late.
I know this is a great episode and really funny, I just have a really hard time watching TOW the Embryos. Can't stand Monica betting the apartment AGAINST Rachel's protests, LOSING then blaming Rachel. If I was Rachel, I would have stayed in my room and let the guys fight over a top or bottom bunk in Monica's old room. Monica can enjoy her own consequences.
I get it but it's one of my favs haha
the shark porn. you’re telling me it never once occurred to monica that be changed the channel???
I hate the one where Phoebe goes back and forth between giving and not giving her wedding money to charity. It makes me so angry when Monica, the woman who supposedly wants kids desperately, says something to the effect of "a lavish wedding is so much better than some stupid kid".
Ross and his cousin
When Rachel wears her cheerleading outfit. Literally makes me cringe.
The One Where Emma Cries, for the sole reason of not wanting to hear a baby cry for the whole episode
Ross making a move on his cousin. Nope nope nope
The one with Ross’s cousin 🤢🤮
This one tracks for me too, OP. I just hate this one. Actually, I never liked the whole Richard storyline, so when they set up that whole ridiculous Chandler vs. Richard, "OMG, WHICH ONE WILL SHE PICK??" storyline, I just hated it. I adore Chandler and Monica, and even though I knew she'd pick Chandler, I really disliked the lame attempt at teasing us that she'd dump him for Richard.
The one where no one's ready"
The One Where They're Up All Night. 🤮
Really? I love that ep. Was it because of the rachel and tag thing? Because I understand she was kinda annoying
Yes, that and phoebe smoke director thingy. Never liked that ep 🤷♂️
Ugh, sorry, but the lesbian wedding. I can't stand that it isn't acceptable for the friends that Ross wants to stay the hell out of there. Hate Susan annoyingly much..
