As someone who grew up watching Friends back in the day, I have to say that the show holds a special place in my heart. It was a staple of my childhood, and I could always count on it to bring a smile to my face. But with that being said, there are certainly some episodes that stand out as particularly ridiculous.
As a dedicated gamer taking a break from my virtual world, I can’t help but reminisce about the unforgettable television series “Friends.” Regardless if you’re head-over-heels for Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey, or Phoebe, we can all agree that this iconic show left an indelible mark on pop culture. Yet, let’s not forget about some of the utterly bizarre moments that unfolded during its ten-season run. In today’s blog post, we’ll be revisiting a few of the most preposterous “Friends” episodes you might have forgotten.
“The One Where Ross Is Fine” (Season 10, Episode 2)
From my perspective as a devoted fan, I believe some viewers argue that Friends Season 10 deviates from the series’ usual tone due to several unexpected character developments. Among these, perhaps the most bizarre is the evolving dynamic between Rachel and Joey at the start – a situation where Ross becomes increasingly agitated upon discovering their growing closeness. He insists over and over again that he’s okay with this turn of events, using humorously absurd ways to convey his “fine-ness.” Yet, deep down, it’s evident that he’s far from being alright.
“The One With The Holiday Armadillo (Season 7, Episode 10)
I can’t believe the creators of “Friends” thought an armadillo would make a great holiday mascot! Out of all animals, why an armadillo? It’s just so bizarre. Don’t get me wrong, I adore every Holiday episode of “Friends,” but this one took the cake for being the most absurd – and yet, I can’t help but love little Cole Sprouse in it.
“The One With The Cop” (Season 5, Episode 16)
In simpler terms, you might find Season 5 of “Friends” less memorable due to its placement between many significant events. However, it offers numerous comedic highlights, such as the iconic line “PIVOT!” during an attempt by Rachel, Chandler, and Ross to carry a couch upstairs instead of paying for delivery. This scene is sure to leave you in stitches.
“The One With Ross’s Wedding, Part 2” (Season 4, Episode 24)
As a longtime fan of “Friends,” I must admit that Season 4 took the crazy antics of the gang to a whole new level. The finale, oh boy, the finale! It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions and unexpected twists, all compressed into just twenty minutes.
“The One With The Prom Video” (Season 2, Episode 14)
I find it hard to believe and even amusing that it required an entire prom video for Rachel to understand that Ross had always cared for her deeply and desired her, and it took them such a long time to share their first kiss. Another noteworthy absurdity are the weight-related jokes below the belt, which would be considered inappropriate in today’s society.
“The One With The Jellyfish” (Season 4, Episode 1)
I wasn’t surprised to find this episode mentioned. Besides the wild turns of Season 3 and the start of Season 4, “The One With the Jellyfish” remains vividly in my memory for the absurd scene where Chandler eases Monica’s jellyfish pain with his urine.
“The One With The Cuffs” (Season 4, Episode 3)
As a huge fan, I can’t help but chuckle each time I rewatch “The One With The Cuffs.” In my opinion, this is one of Matthew Perry’s finest performances in Friends. His hilarious antics in this episode never fail to make me giggle, and the absurd scene where he gets handcuffed to a filing cabinet is enough to elicit a snicker from me every single time.
“The One With Ross’s Inappropriate Song” (Season 9, Episode 7)
Growing up among children, I’m not surprised that Ross and Rachel’s daughter are fond of the song “Baby Got Back” in “The One With Ross’s Inappropriate Song.” Young kids often have an affinity for the most unexpected things – making it a strong contender for their list since this melody is the only thing capable of soothing their daughter.
“The One With Unagi” (Season 6, Episode 17)
I can’t help but find the concept of this episode utterly preposterous. Ross attempts to convey that he’s achieved an extraordinary level of consciousness after decades of karate training, referring to it as “unagi.” The issue is, unagi isn’t some esoteric state of being – it’s just a type of eel! The absurdity of this situation is amplified by Ross’s exaggerated claims. However, Rachel’s unexpected scare at the end manages to salvage some enjoyment from an otherwise far-fetched episode.
“The One With The Routine” (Season 6, Episode 10)
Growing up with an elder brother, I’ve experienced numerous family traditions. However, none have been as peculiar as “The One With The Routine.” In this episode, Monica and Ross attempt to recreate their old dance routine for a New Year’s Eve broadcast. Needless to say, things don’t go according to plan. Despite its absurdity, it remains amusing. I must admit, it’s quite a spectacle!
“The One With Ross’s Teeth” (Season 6, Episode 8)
You anticipated this topic. The amusing Sixth Season episode of “Friends,” titled “The One With Ross’s Teeth,” showcases Ross’s decision to undergo teeth whitening. However, his teeth end up being excessively blindingly white, leading everyone to dislike them. Despite the fact that teeth whitening doesn’t result in teeth that bright, it’s still hilarious.
“The One Where Ross Got High (Season 6, Episode 9)
In this episode of “Friends” titled “The One Where Ross Got High,” although no one is truly intoxicated, it remains one of the most amusing Thanksgiving specials. Monica and Ross’s parents make an appearance, leading to the gradual revelation of secrets, interspersed with some side-splitting antics from Rachel, Phoebe, and Joey. I continue to use the phrase “I wanna go!” frequently in my daily life.
“The One With Joey’s New Brain” (Season 7, Episode 15)
If you’ve grown up with someone regularly watching soap operas, you’ll find this episode particularly enjoyable. In “The One With Joey’s New Brain” from Friends, his character on Days of Our Lives wakes up from a coma, only to discover that his brain has been transplanted into someone else’s body. Now, he must adapt to his new role as a stepmother. The situation is preposterous yet delightfully so.
“The One With The Late Thanksgiving” (Season 10, Episode 8)
As a dedicated fan of “Friends,” I have to admit that Season 10 doesn’t rank among my favorites. However, there’s one episode from that season that truly stands out for me: “The One With the Late Thanksgiving.” Why you ask? Well, it just feels so quintessentially Friends due to its over-the-top humor.
“The One With The Nap Partners” (Season 7, Episode 6)
In this episode, Ross and Joey inadvertently discover the joy of taking a nap together. Despite their reluctance to acknowledge it, they continue to do so, making nap time seem like a secret indulgence. The idea of these friends having such an unconventional bond leaves me in stitches every time I watch – what a preposterous situation!
“The One Where The Stripper Cries” (Season 10, Episode 11)
If you’re a fan of Danny DeVito’s quirky humor, don’t miss out on “The One Where The Stripper Cries” episode. In this installment, DeVito portrays an unexpectedly serious stripper at Phoebe’s bachelorette party. Instead of the typical entertainment they had in mind, he unloads a heap of baggage onto them, resulting in hilarious and absurd situations. This episode is guaranteed to tickle your funny bone!
“The One With Ross And Monica’s Cousin” (Season 7, Episode 19)
I can’t believe they went there – it’s downright bizarre and eerie! In the latest Season 7 episode of “Friends”, Ross finds himself drawn to his long-lost cousin. I know, it’s as creepy as it sounds, and the writers really milked that awkwardness for all it was worth. Fortunately, this uncomfortable storyline didn’t linger longer than a single episode.
“The One Where Everybody Finds Out” (Season 5, Episode 14)
An amusing aspect of “The One Where Everybody Finds Out” is that it seems unbelievable how long it takes for Chandler and Monica to admit their love to each other, despite their elaborate plans. However, true to form in “Friends,” things take an absurd and unexpected turn.
“The One With the Male Nanny” (Season 9, Episode 6)
When Ross and Rachel require childcare assistance, they hire an individual named Sandy. To their surprise, Sandy turns out to be a man, causing discomfort for Ross due to his traditional gender biases towards nannies being women. Although this scenario seems outdated now, it adds to the show’s humor. It is worth mentioning that Freddie Prinze Jr.’s portrayal of a male caregiver, or as some might say, a “manny,” is impressive.
“The One With Ross’s Sandwich (Season 5, Episode 9)
As a food enthusiast with a rich background of experiencing various culinary delights, I must confess that my curiosity is piqued by the description of that sandwich. The vivid imagery of the food scene has left me craving for a bite. However, what truly intrigues me is Ross’s extreme reaction to someone else eating his sandwich. To be honest, I find such behavior rather absurd. Based on my life experiences, I have learned that food is meant to be enjoyed and shared. It brings people together and creates memorable moments. But, getting upset over something as trivial as someone else taking a bite of your sandwich seems like an unnecessary source of stress. This quirky behavior of Ross’s adds an amusing twist to the situation and makes it worth noting.
“The One Where Paul’s The Man” (Season 6, Episode 22)
As a gamer, I absolutely adore the unexpected humor of seeing Bruce Willis in a comedic role instead of his usual action-packed personas. Take “The One Where Paul’s The Man,” for example. Each time I watch this Friends episode, I find myself roaring with laughter – no exceptions! The absurdity of Bruce Willis’ interactions with Rachel, Ross, and Elizabeth never fails to amuse me. It’s like a breath of fresh air in the world of action-packed entertainment.
“The One In Barbados” (Season 9, Episode 23 & 24)
The final two episodes of Season 9 in “Friends” are a surreal experience for me. Rachel and Joey’s unexpected kiss left me shocked and wanting more. Additionally, the entire arc set in Barbados was excessively entertaining in the most delightful way possible.
“The One Where No One’s Ready” (Season 3, Episode 2)
I strongly believe that “The One Where No One’s Ready” ranks among the finest episodes of “Friends.” Nevertheless, I must acknowledge the preposterousness of the scene where it seems something is preventing the friends from leaving just as they’re about to depart from their apartment. Despite my deep affection for this episode, I can’t deny that it’s quite absurd.
“The One Where Phoebe Runs” (Season 6, Episode 7)
As a seasoned runner myself, I can’t help but find Phoebe’s running style hysterically funny, even if I used to run similarly in my early days. The quirks and idiosyncrasies of her gait add an element of charm and relatability that resonates deeply with me. It’s a gentle reminder that we all started somewhere, and the silliness of our past selves can bring joy and laughter to both ourselves and others.
“The One With The Rumor” (Season 8, Episode 9)
Doesn’t it feel unnecessary for me to delve into this famous “Friends” Thanksgiving episode? Preparing for another turbulent holiday at Monica and Rachel’s apartment with their friends is never a simple task. Brad Pitt has an impressive filmography, but in my opinion, he is most memorable from this episode as Will, the old friend who dislikes Rachel due to past high school gossip.
“The One with the Ride-Along” (Season 5, Episode 20)
Currently, Phoebe is dating a police officer named Gary. Consequently, the guys decide to join him for a ride-along to tag along on his job. Yet, their outing doesn’t follow the script, and they become frightened during the journey. Still, it’s the absurdity of Joey protecting his sandwich that adds an extra layer of hilarity to this episode.
“The One Where They All Turned Thirty” (Season 7, Episode 14)
It’s unfair and not true to my thinking that the episode “The One Where They All Turned Thirty” continues to spread the notion that turning thirty is a dreadful age and signifies growing old. I understand that the episode is amusing with its numerous flashbacks, but I still find this idea preposterous.
“The One Where Joey Speaks French (Season 10. Episode 13)
Recently, the Friends episode titled “The One Where Joey Speaks French” has gained more popularity on social media due to the famous scene being widely shared on TikTok. I can’t help but be haunted by “Mi-poo-poo” in my sleep these days, making Phoebe’s attempt to teach Joey French for a role even more comical.
“The One With The Dollhouse” (Season 3, Episode 20)
If you have a deep affection for dolls, be it actual dolls or dolls in films, I can relate to your appreciation for “The One With the Dollhouse.” Monica’s obsession with her perfectly arranged dollhouse resonates with me and brings back memories of my intense love for my toys as a kid. However, Phoebe adds an element of absurdity by constructing an extravagant dollhouse in response to Monica’s creation.
“The One With The Embryos (Season 4, Episode 12)
In an iconic “Friends” episode, the group members challenged each other in a trivia game to prove who knew one another best. The stakes were high: the winner would get the larger apartment. I find it hard to believe that they wagered their entire apartments on the outcome of this game!
“The One With Ross’s Tan” (Season 10, Episode 3)
“I still can’t stop laughing about ‘The One With Ross’s Uneven Tan.’ He attempted to use a spray tan, but only managed to get one side of his body tanned. It’s both amusing and intriguing how he could make such a mistake with a spray tan. I find myself loving it, hating it, and being utterly entertained by its absurdity.”
“The One With All The Resolutions” (Season 5, Episode 11)
In the fifth season of “Friends,” Ross sets out to improve himself and step out of his comfort zone. His unconventional choice for this transformation is leather pants. However, during a date, this fashion experiment ends disastrously when he struggles to pull them up after using the restroom. These mishaps result in amusing situations that leave me chuckling.
