In honor of tonight's series finale, there are my 13 favorite Friends episodes... (I can't narrow it down anymore). I've seen all of the episodes at least 10 times, they will be showing it forever in syndication and I still bought the DVDs. These people are marketing geniuses! They add a couple deleted scenes to every episode and that makes people go out and buy them, just to see those scenes.

1. The One Where Rachel Finds Out - Chandler accidentally lets out the fact that Ross liked Rachel and when he realizes this, he rubs his temples... Joey says, "Yeah, keep doing that. It'll turn back time."

2. The One Where No One's Ready - the sight of Joey wearing all Chandler's clothes and doing lunges while "going commando"....

3. The One With the Embryos - I loved the game where Joey and Chandler win Monica and Rachel's apartment.

4. The One With All the Resolutions - My brother still cracks up when he sees Ross with leather pants down to his knees, in some girl's bathroom, with lotion and baby powder all over his legs, trying to get the pants back on and then hitting himself in the head cause his hands slipped.

5. The One With the Cop - 3 words: PIVOT PIVOT PIVOT!

6. The One Where Ross Got High - I liked the part where Monica and Ross were yelling out each others' secrets to their parents and then Phoebe, Joey and Rachel get in on the action. Joey's was: "I want to goooooooooooo!" and Rachel realized she wasn't supposed to put beef in the dessert truffle. Oh yeah - when the rest of the guys found out the pages in the cookbook were stuck together and Joey immediately accuses Chandler.

7. The One Where Chandler Can't Cry - Reese Weatherspoon guest starred and at the end of the episode, she was telling all of them off... to Ross she said: "I throw myself at you and you say no? How gay are you?" It was the way she said that...

8. The One Where Chandler Doesn't Like Dogs - They're playing a game where they have to name all 50 states in six minutes. Monica forgets 14 states, Rachel forgets 2. Chandler asks Joey how he did... Joey: "Say hello to the new champ of Chandler's dumb states game." Ross: "Wow, how many have you got?" Joey: "Fifty-six!"

9. The One With the Holiday Armadillo - I loved the way Ross said "I'm Santa's representative for all the southern states... annnnnnd MexicO!" in the armadillo costume. I love that little kid from Big Daddy. Joey bursting in with a Superman outfit was hilarious too.

10. The One With Joey's New Brain - Ross was funny playing the bagpipes, but Phoebe was beyond hilarious when she started singing along. You can see Rachel trying hard not to laugh. I also loved when Joey ran in and started talking about DOOL, and the others didn't know what he meant... "Days of Our Lives"... The way Joey says that is funny, like you should already know what he meant. I thought only internet nerds knew "DOOL" so I started cracking up.

11. The One With Joey's Award - I liked seeing the Days and Passions people, plus I loved Joey's actions after they announced that he didn't win.

12. The One With the Rumor - Brad Pitt! There was a scene when Brad Pitt was looking for someone to give him a high 5 and Phoebe runs to hug him... she says, "It's just like I always imagined it would be." I want to use that line... when I meet Justin Timberlake!

13. The One in Barbados - I loved Joey and Ross's argument about whether Days of Our Lives has a "THE" before it. Ross says yes, Joey says no. Some girl tells them she doesn't have a TV and Joey asks her, "You don't have a TV? Where is all your furniture pointed at??"
