On Sunday, February 21, 2016, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Courtney Cox (minus Matthew Perry) reunited on live television after 12 years since the last episode of "Friends" aired. The much-anticipated "Friends" reunion was not what most people expected. There was no Ross and Rachel romance, or Phoebe-esque punchlines, but instead a couch-full of aged actors paying tribute to a recently passed director. Not the reunion fans hoped for.
So I decided to have my own kind of "Friends" reunion. Here are the best 25 moments on "Friends," according to me.
1. Spying on Ugly Naked Guy
2. Unagi (aka "salmon roll")
3. Smelly Cat
4. Joey's Japanese lipstick commercial
5. "How you doin'?"
6. Princess Consuela Bananahammock
7. Ross and Rachel's first kiss
8. Chandler and Ross's hair in college
9. Ross's middle finger
10. Pivot!
11. Ross and Rachel's performance of "Baby Got Back"
12. Phoebe's bachelorette party's stripper
13. Miss Chanandler Bong
14. Phoebe's imagination
15. Monica, Rachel and Phoebe drinking some beer in wedding dresses
16. Ross saying Rachel's instead of Emily's name at the alter
17. Monica and Chandler's proposal
18. Rachel giving birth
19. Joey ordaining Monica and Chandler's wedding dressed as a World War 1 soldier
20. Joey putting "Joseph Stalin" as his stage name
21. Finding out that Frank and Alice's third child, pre-named "Chandler", is a girl
22. Janice...
23. Monica and Chandler finally become parents
24. When Rachel got off the plane
25. We were on a break! (of course I had to include this, it went on for 4 seasons)
I still can't believe that the show has been off the air for 12 years now. I hope someday they will do a real "Friends" reunion with all the cast. Until then stay gold.
