Dear Lisa Kudrow,
Thank you for creating the greatest character in television history. Phoebe Buffay was the character that always made me laugh and was the reason why I kept hitting "watch now" for the next episode on Netflix. As a Friends groupie, here is 12 of the most memorable Phoebe Buffay lines of all time.
1. "They're great for shoplifting melons."
Phoebe says this when giving Rachel maternity pants that stretch when your pregnant and apparently hold stolen fruit pretty well.
2. "Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?..."
The infamous Smelly Cat song, who could ever forget it (it is annoyingly catchy).
3. "If you didn't just have my best friend's baby, a rabid dog would be feeding on your danglers."
Pheobe's response to when Ross told Mike (Paul Rudd) that she has never been in a serious relationship and he told him that she dated "Vicrum" for six years.
4."Damn you Ref, Burn in hell!"
Thanksgiving comes around and she tries to fake watching the football game with Chandler to avoid helping Monica set up.
5."That's brand new information."
Slick, she knew the whole situation about Rachel being pregnant.
6. "They shan't be long.. One does have a stick up one's ass? Doesn't one?"
For Phoebe's birthday, Joey and Phoebe hold down the table at a fancy restaurant for the rest of the crew to arrive as a waiter insists that they move. Fancy restaurant means it's time to make up a fancier sounding language.
7. "I got hepatitis from a pimp spitting in my mouth... so where does everyone summer?"
This is when she visits Mike's parents on the Upper East Side. Mike tells her to be herself but she fails horribly, which forces her to fake an elegant accent.
8. "If it's a girl Phoebe, if it's a boy phoebo."
In efforts to decide a name for the incoming baby, she gives a creative response.
9. "Her name was Nesele Toulouse."
Phoebe thought the woman who owned the secret recipe to the cookies was french. Little to her surprise, it was simply Nestle Tollhouse.
10. "You Americans always butcher the French language."
Monica asks Phoebe "Nestle Toll House?". Then Monica fetches the Nestle Chocolate Chip bag, throwing it to Phoebe across the room, "is this the recipe?" "YES!... OH...", says Phoebe.
11. "Haul ass!"
She attempted to break into a car so Ross could move his Porsche. However, the car alarm went off.
12. "How much is it?...We will give you 10 dollars."
Chandler and Phoebe shop for Monica's engagement ring. It was priced at 8,600. Her negotiating skills are amazing.
These are just twelve of the many funny, entertaining lines from Phoebe throughout the show Friends. Phoebe Buffay always makes me laugh out loud at the screen, so thank you Lisa Kudrow.
Sincerely,
A devoted fan
