"Friends"is arguably one of the best shows ever on television. The Award-winning show has everything: laughter, heart, fantastically relatable characters, and originality. Everyone who has watched this show has ended up wanting to be a part of it. While "Friends" stayed consistently top-notch through all 10 seasons that it aired, some episodes stood out above the rest. Here is my list of what are, in my opinion, the two best episodes from each season:
Season 1
Episode 1: Pilot/The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate
"Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You're gonna love it."
Episode 18: The One with All the Poker
"Your money is mine, Green." "Your fly is open, Geller."
Season 2
Episode 5: The One with the Prom Video
The wonderful first time we got to see Monica in her fat phase. Courtney Cox rocks the fat suit.
Episode 7: The One Where Ross Finds Out
As important as the 'pivotal' moment when Ross discovers Rachel's feelings for him is, my favorite part of this episode is Monica making Chandler work out with her.
Season 3
Episode 6: The One with the Flashback
A fun glimpse into the lives of the six friends a year before Rachel moved in with Monica.
Episode 21: The One with the Chick and the Duck
So many great Chandler/Joey moments in this one.
Season 4
Episode 1: The One with the Jellyfish
"She's my friend and she needed help! If I had to, I'd pee on any one of you!"
Episode 12: The One with the Embryos
"Actually, it's Miss Chanandler Bong."
Season 5
Episode 8: The One with All the Thanksgivings
Chandler and Ross's outfits make this episode so special, plus the glimpse into the first interactions between Monica and Chandler.
Episode 14: The One Where Everybody Finds Out
"They don't know we know they know we know!"
Season 6
Episode 9: The One Where Ross Got High
"...That's a lot of information to get in 30 seconds." This episode features the best of Monica and Ross's parents, plus highlights their brother/sister dynamic in a hilarious way.
Episode 10: The One with the Routine
The gif really says it all here.
Season 7
Episode 3: The One with Phoebe’s Cookies
"Who names their boat 'Coast Guard,' anyway?"
Episode 10: The One with the Holiday Armadillo
"What are you doing here...weird turtle man?"
Season 8
Episode 4: The One with the Videotape
All the damage caused by the magic story made up by "Ken Adams."
Episode 6: The One with the Rumor
Brad Pitt's cameo as Rachel's former classmate Will and founder of the "I Hate Rachel Club" while he was married to Jennifer Aniston is possibly the best guest star in all 10 seasons of the show.
Season 9
Episode 3: The One with the Pediatrician
The best blind date to ever exist.
Episode 13: The One Where Monica Sings
Monica being Monica. Plus, Joey's eyebrows.
Season 10
Episode 12: The One with Phoebe’s Wedding
"When I was growing up, I didn't have a normal mom and dad, or a regular family like everybody else. And I always knew that something was missing. But now I'm standing here today knowing that I have everything that I'm ever gonna need. You are my family." Tears.
Episode 14: The One with Princess Consuela
Phoebe learns you can change your name to anything you want, but maybe shouldn't.
Plus essentially every two-part season finale, especially Season 5: The One in Vegas, Season 7: The One with Chandler and Monica’s Wedding, and Season 9: The One in Barbados. So basically every important wedding and trip.
