Friends is my favorite show. I’ve watched the series thousands of times and can recognize quotes at the drop of a hat. However, I recently realized that I have been circling to the same episodes for a while. It was then that I realized that I have found, what has to be, the best episodes of Friends.

The One with all the Thanksgivings

I think any Friends fan can argue that the Thanksgiving episodes were the best. I love the throwback Friends episodes as well so this perfect mix is an absolute must see! It doesn’t even have to be Thanksgiving for you to watch it. 

The One Where Eddie Won’t Go

This episode is pure gold. Eddie’s antics are absolutely hilarious and the ending is absolutely brilliant. When I was coming to college, I was so worried my roommate would turn out to be an Eddie. Also, I live for Chandler and Joey’s bromance throughout the show so this episode is particularly special to me. 

The One with Ross’s Sandwich

Usually, I’m not a Ross fan (talk about overrated), but when he’s funny, he’s funny. There’s so many good moments in this episode that are absurdly relatable. After all, who hasn’t had someone eat their leftovers out of the fridge?

The One With The Proposal

Not exactly the funniest Friends episode, but one of the most dynamic. I found myself on the edge of my seat throughout the whole episode and sobbing once it was over. Whenever people talk about Ross and Rachel, I have to point them to this episode; Chandler and Monica are just a better couple.

The One With Ross’s Teeth

Again, another Ross favorite. I loved this episode because of it’s timing. It was absolutely amazing work on Schwimmer’s part; the sight gags and facial expressions are pure comedy. This is also my main fear about teeth whitening. 

The One With the Blackout

A classic. The scene where Ross gets attacked by a cat is pee yourself funny. I’ve had to watch it a million times, but it still gets me. There’s something about this episode that has me wishing for a blackout in my dorm–I don’t think it would go as well. 

The One Where No One’s Ready

The purest episode of Friends episodes. I love that it is purely the friends in this episode and they all are at their funniest. Between Joey and Chandler’s antics and Monica’s voicemail fiascos, this has to be, hands down, the best episode of Friends. What’s not to love?
