The Funniest Things That Ever Happened On 'Friends'

Friends is one of the greatest shows of our time. Period, full stop. Fight me on this. I could write a think piece on it, and I’ve definitely drunkenly rambled about it many times before, but Friends was like, actually pretty progressive for a sitcom full of white people that took place in the 90s. First off, Ross and Joey date multiple women of color, which I’m pretty sure you don’t see on The Big Bang Theory or How I Met Your Mother. Rachel has a baby out of wedlock. Phoebe is a surrogate for triplets way before Kim Kardashian or This Is Us. And I’m sure I’m forgetting a bunch of other things. It was like, low-key revolutionary, okay?? (Yes I’m aware that there were problematic aspects such as the rampant fat-shaming of Monica, but you can’t win ’em all.) That said, sometimes Friends just made no fucking sense. We rounded up the funniest (and most ridiculous) things to happen on Friends. Fight us in the comments section.
