Friends/Awesome: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* Monica starts dating a man who writes a poem while with her. She is at first happy until the others tell her it is saying bad things about her. She confronts him to find out it isn't about her but about ''all'' American women. She comes back from this by breaking up with him... through a ''barbershop quartet''.

''And you're also bad in bed!'' }}

* Also, watching Chandler defy odds and beat Mike at ping-pong, when he was going round for round with post-Flanderization Monica.

* Ross' breaking up with Rachel in the season 4 opener. Every line a winner, with Rachel failing to make more than one comeback.

** Apart from, of course, her final line in the scene.

** And related to that, [[Hugh Laurie]] putting Rachel in her place a year later.

'''Other Passenger''': [[Sarcasm Mode|Oh, no!]] (is about to put on his headphones, then turns back to her) And by the way, it seems to be perfectly clear that you [[Take That|WERE on a break!]] }}

** Ross' lines in that scene are ''gold:''

'''Ross:''' Oh, I won't have any problem getting to sleep, I STILL HAVE YOUR ''LET--TER!'' }}

* When the gang started expressing digust/dismay at the idea of Monica dating Richard's son, she pointed out their own relationship, er, quirks:

* Every time [[Tom Selleck]] guest showed up in an episode, he got a standing ovation. ''Every single time.'' Eventually, they would just reshoot the scenes without the [[Studio Audience]].

* The climax of "The One With The Prom Video". Frequently ranked as one of the single best moments in television history.

* Rachel fantasizing about having sex with Chandler in "The one with the flashback".

* Joey telling his cheating dad and "The Mistress" off, outliving every oppressed teenager's wet, rebellious dream in the process:

'''Joey''': That's right Mister, and I don't care how old you are, as long as you're under ''my'' roof, you'll live by ''my'' rules. And that means: No sleeping with your girlfriend. }}

** And the subsequent:

* Season 2. Monica was forcing Chandler to work out with her so he very subtly tears her down by reminding her that she's unemployed and without a relationship.

* Chandler & Joey winning the apartment in season 4.

* After finding out about Chandler and Monica in Season 5, Joey does what he can to cover for them, but it starts making him look foolish and creepy. In one episode, he winds up taking the fall for a pair of men's underwear at Rachel and Monica's, a camera set-up to record sex acts and finally a naked picture of Monica meant for Chandler. Instead of fulfilling their promise to make him look better or be more careful, they can only claim that he's a sex addict after almost carelessly getting caught numerous times. When the rest of the group confronts him over all this, it looks like he'll have to admit to it. Instead, Joey claims he slept with Monica in London and that she's obsessed with him as a result. He effectively plays [[Xanatos Speed Chess]] to pin all the recent craziness on Monica and restore his dignity.

* In Season four, Rachel is moaning about Ross and how he's marrying Emily to Pregnant!Phoebe. Phoebe than proceeds to tell her she had a similair problem, when she was homeless someone told her he would give her food if she slept with him. Rachels asks how they are similair. Phoebe's response?

* Joey forgot to bring a present to Emma's first birthday so he decides to do a dramatic reading of a children's book which seemed like a bad idea but turned out he was really good at it.

'''Chandler''' (almost about to cry) I was not ready for this. }}

* Rachel beating up the girl that Joey dated who was too "punchy" with him.
