Thursday, November 3, 2016 - 18:08

Last week, we discovered the weirdest Friends plots and oh wow, was that a nice ride down the memory lane.

So this week, we've decided to turn the tables and remind ourselves the *best* Friends storylines that we still reminiscent about fondly. Are you ready? Hold on to your man bags and left phalanges!

The 21 Best Friends Storylines

  • Rachel messing up the trifle. BEEF. Don’t forget the beef.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    1 of 21
  • Everything about Chandler and Janice, but especially the moving to Yemen part.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    2 of 21
  • Ross saying the wrong name at the altar. What a plot twist, ladies and gentlemen!
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    3 of 21
  • Monica cutting Chandler’s toe off. A hilarious accident. It’s hard to feel sorry for Chandler tbh.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    4 of 21
  • The whole ‘what could have been’ episode. We just wish there was more of it.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    5 of 21
  • Joey taking revenge on Chandler - could he *BE* wearing any more clothes? COULD HE?!
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    6 of 21
  • Phoebe seducing Chandler. It’s absolutely everything: it’s funny, it’s just the right amount of uncomfortable, and it’s highly quotable. Plus, y’know, Chandler admits to loving Monica which is ace.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    7 of 21
  • Phoebe not knowing that the picture of her grandad is that of Albert Einstein and her grandma’s secret cookies are basically a Nestlé product - Nestlé Toulouse *laughs in French*.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    8 of 21
  • Joey eating everything out of the fridge because it broke. Honestly? We’d do the same.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    9 of 21
  • Ross explaining the difference between “your” and “you’re”. First off, necessary. Secondly, makes for a perfect reaction GIF.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    10 of 21
  • Chandler coming up with catchphrases for ads . Perhaps analysing data *is* a better career choice for Chandler. That being said, it’s freaking hilarious.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    11 of 21
  • Rachel losing the apartment game because she thought Chandler is a transponster. IT’S NOT EVEN A WORD, GODDAMMIT.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    12 of 21
  • Phoebe thinking smoke detector was an alien. To be quite honest, sometimes we feel like they (along with fire alarms) might be.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    13 of 21
  • Monica proposing to Chandler. Relationship goals, truly.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    14 of 21
  • Ross teaching Ben about Hanukkah dressed as an armadillo. We should have paid more attention at church. Maybe there are more superheroes and talking animals in the Bible after all?
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    15 of 21
  • Princess Consuela Banana Hammock. We’d probably react the same as Crap Bag if our S.O. changed their name to this.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    16 of 21
  • Phoebe handing out 3D glasses at her funeral and then pretending to be someone else while interviewing her father.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    17 of 21
  • When Joey protects his sandwich from a “gunshot”. Classic Joey.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    18 of 21
  • When Ross and Rachel get drunk in Vegas. “Well, hello Mrs. Ross!” "Hello Mr. Rachel!”
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    19 of 21
  • Unagi. Sure, it was all bullshit, but oh boy, was that episode funny!
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central
    20 of 21
  • PIVOT! Truly great.
    Warner Bros./Comedy Central

All The Books Read In Friends

  • We've scoured Friends for literary goodies and think we've worked out all of the books the characters *definitely* read. First up, Ross.
    Friends
    1 of 30
  • Yep, in the image before he was trawling through Race by Studs Terkel. Terkel won a Pulitzer Prize (for a different book), so well played, Ross.
    2 of 30
  • Unfortunately, Ross wasn't great at the magic eye everyone else could see.
    3 of 30
  • Yertle the Turtle - a "classic", according to Dr. Geller.
    4 of 30
  • Ross apparently teaches this book in his class, which is either a lie or a very weird thing to teach in a science degree.
    5 of 30
  • While Joey "had sex" in high school, Ross was reading the Lord of the Rings. We know which one is better.
    6 of 30
  • Okay, Chandler, what do you read?
    Friends
    7 of 30
  • Chandler loves an inspirational tale, straight from this sickly-sweet tome.
    8 of 30
  • At one point he also works in a reference to "Of Mice and Men", proving that he's either read it or had someone tell him all about it.
    9 of 30
  • Apparently this is a classic, but we haven't read it. When prompted by Chandler, neither has Joey.
    10 of 30
  • What better way to say, "I secretly love you"?
    11 of 30
  • Impatient to get to the end, Chandler very quickly learns that the engine "can".
    12 of 30
  • You may recognise this as the book Chandler naps to while Joey drills a hole.
    13 of 30
  • Now, what's on Phoebe's reading list?
    Friends
    14 of 30
  • We're not sure Phoebe totally got Jack and the Beanstalk, but she's definitely read it.
    15 of 30
  • She also totally plagiarised The Night Before Christmas. Sickening.
    16 of 30
  • Through her literature class, Phoebe gets into Jane Eyre - then totally lies about the plot to Rachel.
    17 of 30
  • She also reads Wuthering Heights: Phoebe loves the classics.
    18 of 30
  • Joey's not a big reader, right? WRONG.
    Friends
    19 of 30
  • For a guy who constantly talks about not reading, he manages to make references to classics like The Unbearable Lightness of Being...
    20 of 30
  • ... and even Orwell's 1984. Joey, we hardly knew you.
    21 of 30
  • He also does a great dramatic reading of Love You Forever.
    22 of 30
  • Though he's a little cruel with fake spoilers from this helpful little book.
    23 of 30
  • No Little Women spoilers, please.
    24 of 30
  • Next up, Rachel.
    Friends
    25 of 30
  • Surely you knew this already? Right?
    26 of 30
  • We assume she's read the Bible, since she grabs it for Phoebe when she's giving birth.
    27 of 30
  • Rachel is also a confirmed Danielle Steel fan. We don't know which books she's read specifically, but they're kind of all the same (we imagine). So here's DADDY.
    28 of 30
  • Weirdly, we don't really know what Monica reads, except for "the really boring book with the two women who were ice-skating". Any help?
    Friends
    29 of 30
  • We also think she's read The Hobbit, since she corrects Rachel's false association of the Tolkein adventure with the (fake) self-help book Be Your Own Windkeeper.
