A Ranking of All the Friends Thanksgiving Episodes

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Conn Coll chapter.

Although we all get excited about watching Christmas movies and Christmas specials, we cannot forget about Thanksgiving! To celebrate this holiday we must turn to Friends for some inspiration. Read on for a definitive ranking of the Friends Thanksgiving episodes!

10) The One with the List (Season 2, Episode 8)

Best Lines…

Chandler: (after making the list of pros and cons) alright let’s do Julie. What’s wrong with her?

Ross: She’s not Rachel.

9) The One Where Underdog Gets Away (Season 1, Episode 9)

Best Lines…

Joey: Hey Mon, I have a question…I don’t see tater tots.

Monica: That’s not a question.

8) The One with Chandler in a Box (Season 4, Episode 8)

Best Line…

Chandler: The meaning of the box is threefold. One, it gives me time to think about what I did. Two, it proves how much I care about my friendship with Joey. And three…it hurts!

7) The One Where Chandler Doesn’t Like Dogs (Season 7, Episode 8)

Best Lines…

Joey: If he doesn’t like you, then this is all just a moo point.

Rachel: A moo point?

Joey: Yeah, it’s like a cow’s opinion, you know, it doesn’t matter. It’s “moo.”

Rachel: Have I been living with him too long, or did that all just make sense?

6) The One with the Football (Season 3, Episode 9)

Best Lines…

Chandler: Hey Joey, where do Dutch people come from?

Joey: Uh…well the Pennsylvania Dutch come from Pennsylvania.

Chandler: And the other Dutch come from somewhere near the Netherlands, right?

Joey: Nice try, see the Netherlands is this “make believe” place where Peter Pan and Tinkerbell come from.

5) The One with Rachel’s Other Sister (Season 9, Episode 8)

Best Lines…

Rachel: I had a baby.

Amy: I decorated dad’s office.

Rachel: Ah yeah. Well unless you pushed a desk out of your vagina, not the same thing.

4) The One with the Late Thanksgiving (Season 10, Episode 8)

Best Lines…

Phoebe: It’s locked.

Ross: Oh, sure, now they lock it, but when they’re having sex on the couch it’s like, “come on in my butt is surprisingly hairy!”

3) The One with the Rumor (Season 8, Episode 9)

Best Lines…

Monica: You’re telling me you can eat almost an entire turkey in one sitting?

Joey: That’s right, ‘cause I’m a Tribbiani, and this is what we do. We may not be great thinkers or world leaders, we don’t read a lot or run very fast, but dammit we can eat!

2) The One Where Ross Got High (Season 6, Episode 9)

Best Lines…

Ross: It tastes like feet!

Joey: Well, I like it.

Ross: Are you kidding?

Joey: I mean, what’s not to like? Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, good!

1) The One with All the Thanksgivings (Season 5, Episode 8)

Best Lines…

Rachel: Joey got a turkey stuck on his head?

Joey: Hey! It’s not how it sounds!

Chandler: It is exactly how it sounds.

To be honest though, who are we kidding…all of the Friends Thanksgiving episodes are amazing! Enjoy the break and holiday, Camels!
