Line 15:
* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]]: Phoebe, a ditzy blonde whose identical twin sister is a porn star.
** And given that we learn Phoebe is quite kinky in the sack herself...
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: In earlier seasons, Chandler makes multiple jokes about not being able to have children...
** Chandler's smoking addiction wasn't very funny later on when Matthew Perry went into rehab to control his drinking.
** A Season 2 episode showed Monica getting Chandler to get in shape reflecting Matthew Perry's later weight problem.
Line 28:
** The already hilarious couch moving scene ("Pivot!") is even better after you've seen David Schwimmer as [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] Herbert Sobel in ''[[Band of Brothers (TV series)|Band of Brothers]]''.
** In "The One with All the Resolutions", Ross says "no divorces in '99!/Just the one divorce in '99!". He ends up Divorcing Rachel less than a year later in "The One with Joey's Porsche" (which aired on October 21st, 1999) making his 'resolution' hilarious indeed.
** Joey asked Rachel "How you doin'? You all right?"? in the Season 2 premiere. Who would have thought that that would be his catchphrase?
** Invoked in universe during the One with the Thanksgiving Flashbacks when Ross brags about Carol playing "for both teams".
** The episode where Rachel was freaked out that Ross has been planning their future, down to the name of their kids. The first he came up with was ''Emily''.
* [[Hollywood Homely]]: A lot of people give Monica a lot of crap for being ugly, while she is just as attractive, if not more, than Rachel and Phoebe.
** Those instances are rather minimal when it comes to Monica. Plenty of people see her for how attractive she is. But Ross and Chandler are definitely this. Especially Chandler in the first few seasons where all women seem to treat him like he's repulsive when actually he's quite cute and very funny. It gets better when the writing focuses on how he's socially awkward rather than unattractive.
** On a more notable level, Fat!Monica.
* [[Ho Yay]]: There have been more marriage/romance/infidelity metaphors surrounding Chandler and Joey's relationship as roommates than is possible to count.
Line 61:
** [[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody|Cole Sprouse]] played Ben in the later seasons.
*** [[What Happened to the Mouse?|Ben was in the later seasons?]]
* [[The Scrappy]]: Ross and Rachel, more so Rachel, as their [[Will They or Won't They?]] plot eventually became the A-Plot to show in later seasons.
* [[Shocking Swerve]]: Rachel's pregnancy.
* [[Squick]]: In "The One with Joey's Big Break":
Line 82:
** If you've watched every episode of this show, you WILL cry at the very end.
*** Heck, the part that brought tears to this troper's eyes in the finale was of all things {{spoiler|the destruction of the Foosball table to rescue the ducklings. THE TABLE}}!
* [[Take That, Scrappy!]]: [[Hugh Laurie]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXNd99IhdmA reams out Rachel].
* [[Unintentionally Unsympathetic]]: The former [[Trope Namer]] was "Fat Monica", referring to the flashbacks that portrayed [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|the earlier years when Monica was fat.]]
* [[The Woobie]]: Given Phoebe's past and her wide-eyed look on the world, you know you just wanna give her a hug. The fact that she's played by Lisa Kudrow helps, too.
