This episode would have occupied the middle of this ranking if not for a brief sequence in which Phoebe wonders what would have happened if Monica and Joey had ended up together.
In this alternative reality, a fat Joey struggles to bring his chair up to the table as he sits down to another epic dinner cooked by his partner. The One with the Metaphorical Tunnel — Season three, episode four. OK, Ross. The only redeeming quality is the end sequence in which a young Ross is seen dressed as his female alter ego, Bea, and hosting a tea party.
The One with Mac and C. The One with the Rumor — Season eight, episode nine. Activists have spoken at length about the stigma and shame associated with being intersex.
This is one example of how pop culture has contributed to those issues. The One with the Ballroom Dancing — Season four, episode four.
Gay yet? Ross visits his family as they prepare to say goodbye to his late grandmother, and discovers dozens of sweetener packets which she loved to collect tucked away in her bedroom closet.
The One with the Thumb — Season one, episode three. Either way, something about this episode feels off. The One with the Male Nanny — Season nine, episode six.
The One with the Inappropriate Sister — Season five, episode Remember that weird time Rachel dated a guy named Danny who had an uncomfortably close relationship with his sister? Yes, I had blacked it out too. The One with Joey's Interview — Season eight, episode Oh, great, another flashback episode. Come on, Ross. Of course he does. The One with the Breast Milk — Season two, episode two. Not to be overly critical of Ross, but this isn't his finest moment.
The One with Monica's Boots — Season eight, episode So Monica pledges to wear them forever, and when it turns out they hurt, she tries to hide it from him. I realise Friends is just a fun sitcom, but this episode is enough to make you question whether you'd ever like to have a joint account with anybody. Sure, the storyline is played for laughs, but something seems a bit tone-deaf here.
Little life tip: if you're going to fool around with your friend's sister, maybe remember which one it was? Looking at you, Chandler Bing lost in a sea of Joey's siblings. The One with Joey's Fridge — Season six, episode In this episode, he gets so insecure when his girlfriend goes away for Spring Break you know, as she should that he follows her on her beach getaway. The One with Rachel's Assistant — Season seven, episode four.
After a few episodes of lusting after Tag, Rachel finally kisses her assistant and starts a secret relationship with him. Again, I think Rachel — who worked so hard to carve herself a place in the corporate world and really loved her job!
Women, am I right? Flashbacks in Friends are always uncomfortable to some extent, mainly owing to the portrayal of young Monica, played by Courteney Cox in a fat suit. This episode is no exception to the rule: in this alternative reality, Monica is a year-old virgin, presumably owing to her body shape.
More of the same. As for Chandler, he realises he is in love with Monica, making their storyline slightly more nuanced than the year-old virgin trope.
Also, any episode featuring Ugly Naked Guy automatically loses points. The One with Joey's Bag — Season five, episode Every time Friends makes a joke about masculinity Joey wears a shoulder bag! Surely he must be a woman! I could have lived without watching almost the entire Friends cast oggle Denise Richards for the better part of an episode. Well, no. By now, you know the rule when it comes to flashbacks.
The One with the Apothecary Table — Season six, episode This episode was just one major advertisement for Pottery Barn, the California-based home furnishing chain. Much product placement ensues. It's actually not a bad episode, but the Pottery Barn overload feels unsettling.
The One with All the Thanksgivings — Season five, episode eight. All I want to do is give young Monica a hug, recommend therapy sessions, and urge her to never, ever marry that jerk.
The One with the Joke — Season six, episode Nothing fundamentally wrong here, but this whole episode just seems forgettable. Ross and Chandler argue over who came up with a joke printed in Playboy. Joey is fired from Central Perk, then re-hired. You could remove this episode from the season and everything would pretty remain much the same. The One with the Nap Partners — Season seven, episode six.
If Ross and Joey like to nap together, let them! Monica, if this is ever a concern, dump him. Just dump him. The One with the Boob Job — Season nine, episode Chandler thinks Monica is contemplating getting a breast augmentation and sets out to convince her that he finds her perfect the way she is — which leads Monica to believe that Chandler is worried about her body changing if she ever gets pregnant.
Honestly, can you blame her for misreading this one? The One with Phoebe's Rats — Season nine, episode Phoebe and Mike take care of a litter of rats: OK. Th e One with the Invitation — Season four, episode Definitely the most entertaining of all flashback episodes. The One with the Halloween Party — Season eight, episode six. This makes up for the slightly lacklustre central plot that sees him armwrestling with Chandler to… impress the women in the room?
The One with All the Haste — Season four, episode Rachel and Monica finally get back their apartment which they had lost to Chandler and Joey a few episodes ago. Ross proposes to his girlfriend Emily on a whim, leaving Rachel secretly brokenhearted — and laying the ground work for the emotional rollercoaster of his disastrous London wedding. Rachel insists she once kissed her former sorority sister named Melissa and played brilliantly by Winona Ryder.
Joey, naturally, finds the whole thing very titillating. The One with the Butt — Season one, episode six. At this stage of season one, Friends was still trying to figure out its own identity, and it shows. The plot lines are a bit all over the place, and none is particularly satisfying.
The One with the Secret Closet — Season eight, episode Other than that, Monica makes sexual noises when Phoebe massages her, and she also has a secret messy closet. The One with the Football — Season three, episode nine. Watching Ross and Monica compete for the Geller Cup a made-up award from their childhood is pretty cute. Watching Chandler and Joey compete for a woman, less so. Monica gets mad at Chandler for Ross dates Janice?
The One with Rachel's Crush — Season four, episode I had forgotten how terrible Chandler was at relationships early on in the show. Then date an accountant and leave the poor woman alone? The One with the Evil Orthodontist — Season one, episode Chandler desperately wants a woman to return his calls, then finds her needy when she finally comes to meet him in person. Joey tracks down a woman who was spying on the group from the opposite building. Phoebe and Monica fight over… a man who has never met them and is now in a coma by their own fault?
Everything about this episode is a bit odd. Monica has to give up on her dream wedding dress so that she can book the band Chandler wants for their reception.
The One with the Bullies — Season two, episode The One with the Home Study — Season 10, episode seven.
