Monica and Chandler getting together was a pairing that nobody expected, but absolutely adored once they actually happened. They really ARE the best couple in the show! 👫💘
As a soap fan, it was obvious who was pregnant when the test was found. It couldn't be Phoebe because why would she be surprised that she found her own test. But you are right that the writing of the comedy & the camera work was excellent. I don't mind knowing what's going to happen, if the writing's good.
Interesting fact: Chandler & Monica getting together was supposed to just be a one time fling. But the audiences’ reaction to the reveal made the writers decide to have them become a couple
@@mehreenkabir5071 You're right. It would have been awful with Joey. He's a really sweet guy but Monica had no interest in him. We know that Monica had a crush on Chandler in the past. This makes sense. I'm glad they went this way instead.
Janice... so many plot twists she deserved her own spot!her pregnancy, the blind date, labor and delivery, Chandlers computer love, singing my silly Valentines on Chandlers mixed tape and the last one where she is looking at the house next door!
Rachel using the Western Europe backpacking story definitely deserved a Top Ten ranking. The entire episode set up that line, and people still didn't see it coming.
Top ten times phoebe buffay is the best friend 1. Taking Ross to Newark airport 2. Teaching Joey French 3. Letting Rachel move in 4. She's your lobster 5. Teaching Joey guitar 6. Letting Monica take the chef job over catering 7. When she helped chandler get to phase 3 and 4 (aka help chandler getting thru his breakup with Kathy) 8. Help Monica and Rachel get out of being sad for Rachel moving out 9.being there for Ross during his first divorce 10. When she get Monica and Rachel's apartment back
All of Janice’s appearances are epic! My favorite and least expected one was the one when chandler and monica were looking at the house next door to the one they just bought 😂
I loved that so much. I freaking love Janice, and I knew she HAD to make an appearance in the final episode. There's no way they could have left her out. She and Gunther were just too intricale to the show.
"Ross Geller got a girlfriend" , actually Ross had a lof of girlfriends on the show , but Julie ( season 2 ) and Mona ( season 8 ) were the only good girlfriends that Ross ever had on the show
Hollywood often completely misses the fact that people love an unexpected romance! Monica and Chandler was such a surprise to me and I pride myself in knowing what’s going to happen.
@Alan James Rachel and Ross were NOT a thing until end of season 2. Ross wanted Rachel, she was with Paolo then she realises she wants Ross and he was with Julie at the season 1 finale. Then almost halfway season 2 Ross broke up with Julie and wrote the pro con list of Rachel and she didn't want to be with him and they Finally get together towards the end of season 2 until half way season 3 when Ross cheats on Rachel. So, basically, No. Seasons 1-4 were not full Roschell. Plus, they were kind of toxic as a couple. Ross was insanely jealous all the time. Were they endgame by season 10? Maybe, but I wouldn't be surprise if we find out they didn't stay together in the reunion (if they talk about this).
@Alan James Not even 1 full season out of 10 Rachel and Ross were together. This is not the making of the series central relationship. I know Ross wanted Rachel for half the series but it was always a matter of will or won't they. However the case, these are just semantics.
@Alan James From a narrative point of view , they were the driving force of the first 3 seasons but that’s pretty much it. After that each friend had a story of their own. If you think about it. The central character of the series is Rachel Green. (At least it was for the first 4 seasons). It’s her that abandons her own wedding and joins the group, she is the one that goes through the huge change, from rich and codependent to a working woman, financially independent. At least for the beginning, her actions were active and everyone else was sort of reacting around her. Would you have liked her to eventually end up with Ross ?
@Alan James from the beginning of the conversation we have both been sort of saying the same thing so I don’t even think there is a point of arguing. You are insisting on one point and keep defending it where I am giving you a more round view. I love friends. I watched it 8629364847 times. It’s always on in the background and I do agree with many if not all the points you made; I just think we are getting our wires crossed. As for Ross; there are indeed some moments that I think Ross’s character DID NOT age well. He was very possessive, jealous and that whole male nanny episode is God awful. However, Ross has some of my favourite scenes, David S. is a fantastic actor and I just love so many scenes of Ross. Pivot, Unagi; I am FINE... and all those moments he was really sad and pathetic with his Hi. 😂😂
Well, Monica and Chandler did make a promise in season 1 that if neither of them were married by 40(?), that they’d get together. Or something like that.
I just realized that Ross and Chandler unintentionally got each other the love of their lives 🤯 If Chandler hadnt said anything, Rachel may have never known Ross' feelings for her. And without London, Monica may have not been in such a vulnerable position to seek out Joey and comfort herself with Chandler. Man I love this show. But Monica X Chandler were the best couple. Hands down, no contest 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Not exactly. Ross was in love with Rachel since high school long before Chandler was in the picture. He took him years to tell her, but Chandler blurting it out to Rachel finally made it happen.
@@ToniWellons That’s literally what the other person said, though. If Chandler had never said anything she would not have known and he would’ve gone and come back from China with Julia and Rachel never would have admitted she had feelings for him.
Ross did. Even though it was extremely tough, he lost his mind, his wife, his apartment and his job, but he technically got it all back by the end of the season
I remember the first time I watched ross' wedding with Emily I was so shocked when Monica's head popped up under the bed sheet it was a great plot twist, they were so meant to be
The 'Ross got a girlfriend" is a shame , because of this : Ross dated Julie / left cause of Rachel Ross dated Bonnie / left cause of Rachel Ross dated Emily / left cause of Rachel Ross dated Jill / left cause of Rachel Ross dated Katie / left cause of Rachel The lesson here is probably not leave a lot of the great and amazing women because of one only women
Rachel - How do you know that story ?!?!? Joey - How do I know, How do you know that story ? Rachel - My friend told me and she said some guy told her ! Joey - Some Guy 🙋♂️🙋♂️! Rachel - No, she said his is Ken Adams Joey - KEN ADAMS 🙋♂️🙋♂️ ! Hahahaa 😂😜😂😜 hahaha 🤣😁🤣😁
especially when they went in separate directions. LOL The scene that bugged me was they couldn't get the paint off of their faces, and had to go in public like that, yet the next morning it was all gone.
The most shocking twist for me was that Monica and Chandler couldn't have kids. I mean, Monica wanted this so bad since season 1, she wanted kids more than Phoebe or Rachel did, and then this. I was so surprised when this happenned.
See I personally find people who are most deserving of kids will have to get adopted like I feel like Monica couldn’t have kids because she was meant to adopt the kid. Be a mom that other kids couldn’t have just like Phoebe needed. Monica has it in her to parent kids that are not her DNA like she has it in her to be a great mom despite anything so she was meant to adopt kids I think like it just fits her and she could adopt those kids and just love them like they were born from her same with Chandler like they have messy family that wasn’t good to them so having kids they picked not just DNA kids just throw at them but like kids they picked and wanted and willing to love just shows their growth with characters and just how great of a couple they really are
“clearly you don’t want people to see this tape. I don’t want people to see the tape either, but you SO BADLY don’t want to see it that makes me want to see it, do you see?” 🤣👏🏾
As far as the ranking order, as heartwarming, satisfying, and uplifting a moment it was when Rachel got off the plane to return with Ross in the series finale, it was somewhat expected and predictable. So should be ranked lower on list than #3. It just was not as surprising and unexpected as the Las Vegas episode when Ross and Rachel got married in the chapel while drunk with Chandler and Monica waiting to get married outside, the proposal episode when Chandler actually thought he might of lost Monica when he thought his surprise proposal diversion plan went wrong, or the episode when the Ross came home from China with his new girlfriend Julie when Rachel went to greet him at the airport.
How to judge plot twists is how it affects the overall direction of the series, so the Top 2 on this list ranked clearly had the most significant impacts. Chandler and Monica getting together in London, blossoming into a romantic relationship, and eventually becoming a married couple added 3 to 4 years of longevity to the life of the series. It changed the dynamic of the entire group and brought maturity, development, and growth to the story-lines going forward. Chandler and Monica's relationship brought a refreshing counter balance to rival Ross and Rachel's relationship. This was genius story-line twist by the writers that was timed at just the right moment at the end of Season 4 since it setup Season 5 to be one of the best seasons during the 10-years run of the series. Other than Season 8, from Season 5 onward to the Season 10 series finale, Chandler's and Monica's relationship eventually became the heart and soul of "Friends". Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox portrayed such a natural compatibility on-screen that made this relationship work really well. Rachel announcing she was pregnant at Chandler's and Monica's wedding at the end of Season 7 springboard into Season 8 to also be one of the best seasons in the 10-years run of the series. Season 8 ended with Rachel giving birth to Emma. It brought Ross and Rachel's on-again off-again relationship back into the limelight, was the only season "Friends" won the Emmy for Best TV sitcom, and Jennifer Aniston won both an Emmy and Golden Globe for Best Actress in TV Series sitcom for her performance during Season 8. Plus, Season 8 was only year which "Friends" ended the season ranked #1 in the prime-time TV ratings. During the other 10 seasons, it had been consistently a Top 5 ranked show in the prime-time TV ratings. Other than the Joey and Rachel kissing, I concur with all the other best plot twists mentioned as honorable mentions and ranked from "Friends". Nothing from that Joey and Rachel romance storyline should be on any Top 10 best list for "Friends". It is more fitting that for Top 10 worst lists...lol. That storyline was so forced and unnecessary by the writers, to the point where it took some luster away from the Ross and Rachel relationship.
A lot of people hate in the Rachel x Joey arc but think about it- it's surprisingly normal to crush on your best friend, fall in love with your best friend, etc. The same happened to me and my friend August, we kind of started dating out of nowhere like Joey and Rachel and we ended up staying just friends. That's why I don't hate them together.
Yeah Joey was a hilarious character too but his own show failed. I personally think they all need each other to bounce off because they all worked so well together. Maybe if Joey had been Joey and chandler it might have worked better xxxxxx
While I've never understood or been a fan of the Joey and Rachel angle, their kissing scene introduced me to the band Interpol and I've always been grateful for that.
a friend of mine JUST started to watch Friends for the first time and was in the middle of season 3 and I said something about Chandler and Monica and she said "Chandler and Monica!!??" and was like wow I thought this was universal knowledge. she even tagged along with me to a Friends Trivia night! guess she wasn't paying attention LOL
Yeah that's true. It's a really nice ending on paper since they have a daughter and history together, but honestly their relationship was such a shit show
Though of course most of these picks are “iconic” tv moments, I personally never reacted as shocked or unexpectedly as when the videotape showed Rachel using the Europe story 😆. These listed were all brilliant plot twists, but the one with the videotape was GENIUS writing, and in my opinion should be somewhere on this list higher than “honorable mention” 👍🏻
How on Earth did the Joey/Rachel pairing end up on this list? It was one of the *worst* things to happen on "Friends." But I will give it this: it led up to Ross's "I'm fine!" moments.
in shows like new girl and friends, they tried to make ross and rachel the main love, and jess and nick the main love. but the best love stories were honestly monica and chandler, and schmidt and cece
I agree with most plot twists ranked and honorable mentions on the list except for #10. Joey kissing Rachel (along with being a plainly erroneous, forced, and contrived story-line romance by the writers) was not really a plot twist. That moment was building for a few episodes. The Top 2 twists are clearly and definitely the best. Chandler and Monica getting together in London at Ross's and Emily's wedding at the end of Season 4 setup the Season 5 episodes so well. Rachel announcing she is pregnant at Chandler's and Monica's wedding at the end of Season 7 setup the Season 8 episodes so well. Season 5 and Season 8 were arguably the 2 best seasons of "Friends" during the 10-year series run.
Yes!! Season 5 was great. Usually when a show is on for that long, it can lose its magic but Season 8 was such an amazing season from beginning to end!
Monica and Chandler getting together was a pairing that nobody expected, but absolutely adored once they actually happened. They really ARE the best couple in the show! 👫💘
Actually, I expected it.
It was hinted at since the first season, each friend had a pair but Joey and Phoebe were a platonic pair
@@F4keFelipx p
Yes they are absolutely my favourite couple 🥰🥰🥰
they're great, but come on. ross/rachel is a bigger tentpole in the ten years of the show.
The Zoom in on Rachel’s face about the pregnancy test was a genius move.
Ikrr
Watching it back its so obvious but at the time i never guessed it
As a soap fan, it was obvious who was pregnant when the test was found. It couldn't be Phoebe because why would she be surprised that she found her own test. But you are right that the writing of the comedy & the camera work was excellent. I don't mind knowing what's going to happen, if the writing's good.
that blew my mind!! I still love watching it seeing the suttle signs
The only good thing about Ross's wedding in season 4 is Monica and Chandler finally getting together
Precisely, even though Ross' wedding was a disaster, at least it brought Mondler closer together!
Monica and Chandler were a great couple..
was it
I totally agree.
Agreed 100%
how bout that time when Ross thought he kissed Rachel at a college party but it was actually Monica (and it was her first kiss too lmao)
Oh just thinking about it makes me laugh
I thought I saw every episode, but apparently I don't remember that one
Loved that episode, also makes me laugh!! Was classic!
IKR that should have made the list
What episode is it
Interesting fact:
Chandler & Monica getting together was supposed to just be a one time fling. But the audiences’ reaction to the reveal made the writers decide to have them become a couple
no, it was about to happen with joey, but they decided to shoot this segment separately to see how the audience reacts and result in we all know.

“Yes I know and Joey knows but Ross doesn’t know SO YOU HAVE TO STOP SCREAMING!”
The scene right after that where they just all scream like crazy while pretending to ross that it's because of the apartment is GOLD
My favorite Ross scene, when he's jumping with them....
And Monica answering the door. Hi Ross, what's happening Bro? Lol
This is my favorite episode. Not only was it funny, it was zany, and the end romantic.
now enough of us know that we can just tell them we know
Ross may have lost his love in London , but Chandler found it

come on! emily wasn't REALLY his love!
Actually you can say, Ross found his love, by saying her real name at the wedding

The best decision the writers of Friends made was Chandler and Monica's relationship and making them the series central couple!

That storyline was so forced and unnecessary by the writers, to the point where it took some luster away from the Ross and Rachel relationship.
I love that they talked about how the audience' reaction made them have Mondler happen!
Monica: Chandler you're panicking
Chandler: Uh hu! Join me won't you
Gets me every single time 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I love Friends so much!!!
So even though for Ross the London time was bad, but on the other side thats when Mondler was born
Monica and Chandler together was so surprising and worked so well that several tv shows tried to replicated...
“Eh, we weren’t that close anyway,”
😂🤣😂🤣
Monica and chandler getting together was an awesome twist and the most shocking for me was when ross said "I take the rachel" 😆
Man! Chandler’s comic timing at 11:37 is gold.😂
Joey's reaction on number 7 made that scene lmao
Terri Garr was the perfect Mom for Phoebe. They look, sound and act the same! :)
A lot of people hate in the Rachel x Joey arc but think about it- it's surprisingly normal to crush on your best friend, fall in love with your best friend, etc. The same happened to me and my friend August, we kind of started dating out of nowhere like Joey and Rachel and we ended up staying just friends. That's why I don't hate them together.
i’ve never hated them either! they’ve both certainly had worst partners!
When Chandler says "Oh yeah these are the faces of 2 people in the know." that always makes me laugh
They should have done a spinoff with Phoebe she is hilarious
I don't know if that would have worked. They tried the one with Joey and that really bombed. I think they just worked better as a group.
@@tonyabomia7217 Joey was not that great
Yeah Joey was a hilarious character too but his own show failed. I personally think they all need each other to bounce off because they all worked so well together. Maybe if Joey had been Joey and chandler it might have worked better xxxxxx
@@kstephane1444 Not by himself. They all needed each other. The show only worked because it was an ensemble cast.
So agree
I see Friends, I click.
Phoebe (being my favorite female Friend on the show) finding her mom, was EXTREMELY heartwarming to me!! Plus The One in Vegas was EXPLOSIVE!!!
12:38 this one is probably my favorite. I remember being super surprised when i watched it for the first time. LOVE IT.
I'll pretend that Joey and Rachel thing did not happen. Worst decision of the writers.
it just shows that sometimes friends make mistakes and if they are true friends they move on from it and forgive each other
I kind of feel like that whole arc of Joey and Rachel getting together was written by the same people who did the last season of Game of Thrones. 🤣
@@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460 lol really??? No wonder
I'm fine with it. I don't know why in my head that sounds sqeaky and high pitched, but i'm fine
@@eraniogem22 true. I’m fine with it. Really. I’M FINE. I’m making fajitas!!
While I've never understood or been a fan of the Joey and Rachel angle, their kissing scene introduced me to the band Interpol and I've always been grateful for that.
a friend of mine JUST started to watch Friends for the first time and was in the middle of season 3 and I said something about Chandler and Monica and she said "Chandler and Monica!!??" and was like wow I thought this was universal knowledge. she even tagged along with me to a Friends Trivia night! guess she wasn't paying attention LOL
Lmao. 😂
Erika starring in scary movie and the first film being a spoof of scream which starred Courtney Cox is everything
Even i an recap i start crying when Rachel says „i got off the plain“ 😭😭
Everyone Absolutely HATED Joey and Rachel kissing/being a thing
Not everyone
Some dickheads fans liked it , but it doesn't matter , in the end it was just a forced storyline for more episodes , even the video said that
@@hilarywitt so glad you're here too!
Lots of people did not hate it. By the time they kissed, Joey with Rachel made more sense than Ross and Rachel
yep, it made NO SENSE
but it was a plot twist-
Ross saying Rachel during his wedding was unexpectedly brilliant! I never saw this in real life, or any show and/or movie!
Friends had better plot twists then any modern drama show
In order to film the Ross and Rachel scenes at the airport in the finale the Central Perk set had to be taken down but I believe it was rebuilt
I couldnt Be any more satisfied with your subtle friends jokes
God I miss them so much ❤️ My favorite Tv show forever
One of my favorites didn't make the list: When Ross admits to Phoebe that he didn't get the annulment, and he and Rachel are still married
yeah that was great!!! 'don't tell Rachael....' LOL One of the few times I liked Ross. he drove me nuts on the show, my least favorite
I love Lisa she makes me laugh and cry 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Take thee, Rachel." I think that moment shocked me more than any other in Friends.
Phoebe finding her mom & Chandler & Monica’s proposal are my favorite.
Monica and Chandler are my favorite couple on Friends.
Phoebe and Mike are mine.
i like the part when Chandler & Monica getting together
I didn't like that Rachel got off of the plane. She ultimately chose Ross over her dream job.
Totally agree
Agreed! She worked so hard to improve herself and be successful and gave it up for an unhealthy and destructive relationship.
Yeah that's true. It's a really nice ending on paper since they have a daughter and history together, but honestly their relationship was such a shit show
She still has her job in New York. And Ross could have stopped Rachel going to paris much earlier but he said that she should go
Agreed!
Chandler being ready to propose should have been Top 3. Every time I rewatch Friends, I forget that it's coming.
Though of course most of these picks are “iconic” tv moments, I personally never reacted as shocked or unexpectedly as when the videotape showed Rachel using the Europe story 😆. These listed were all brilliant plot twists, but the one with the videotape was GENIUS writing, and in my opinion should be somewhere on this list higher than “honorable mention” 👍🏻
But it didn't really impact the story. That matters too.
"I got of the plane"... Still one of the iconic lines in tv history
I still remember each one of them the first time I saw the show. I screamed each time 😂
Ross throwing up after the wedding was hilarious.
How on Earth did the Joey/Rachel pairing end up on this list? It was one of the *worst* things to happen on "Friends." But I will give it this: it led up to Ross's "I'm fine!" moments.
I think I saw interviews where the cast agreed that “I’m Fine” was the best and only good thing about the Rachel and Joey affair...
in shows like new girl and friends, they tried to make ross and rachel the main love, and jess and nick the main love. but the best love stories were honestly monica and chandler, and schmidt and cece
I see so many saying that about New Girl, but it seems everyone forgot that Schmidt cheated on Cece with Elizabeth.
The fact that "I take thee, Rachel" isn't number one is a crime.
I LOVE THESE TOP TEN FRIENDS VIDEOS THEY ARE ALWAYS MY FAVORITE OF YOURS
One of the best shows even now🥰🥰
I agree with most plot twists ranked and honorable mentions on the list except for #10. Joey kissing Rachel (along with being a plainly erroneous, forced, and contrived story-line romance by the writers) was not really a plot twist. That moment was building for a few episodes. The Top 2 twists are clearly and definitely the best. Chandler and Monica getting together in London at Ross's and Emily's wedding at the end of Season 4 setup the Season 5 episodes so well. Rachel announcing she is pregnant at Chandler's and Monica's wedding at the end of Season 7 setup the Season 8 episodes so well. Season 5 and Season 8 were arguably the 2 best seasons of "Friends" during the 10-year series run.
Yes!! Season 5 was great. Usually when a show is on for that long, it can lose its magic but Season 8 was such an amazing season from beginning to end!
for me the best one was the 4th season cause it was mainly around friendship :)
Season 2 is my favourite. It's so chill and happy-go-lucky.
I’m loving all these videos of friends coming out!
The Europe Story literally made my mouth drop 🤣
Overall joeys reactions are always the best
Every tv show I've seen have a plot twist ❤❤
10:39
Excuse U, Ms. Mojo, but I did NOT cheer, and I am NOT lying.
Rachel: "I got off the plane."
Me: Barf!
Joey: “in London?!”
I ALWAYS cry when Rachel says “I got off the plane”😭
Pregnancy test is my favourite pick 😀
The one with the videotape is one of my favs! “Now I’m so happy.”
