20 Greatest Friends Episodes (According To IMDb)

The one with all the best ones.

Friends Season 10
NBC

There are few TV shows that have enjoyed the same kind of wild popularity that Friends has. 25 years after first debuting, and 15 years after the final episode aired, the show is still a television juggernaut, with re-runs airing pretty much every day. Some episodes have even been shown in the cinemas to celebrate the show's 25th anniversary.

From Monica avoiding questions about her date in the very first scene in the coffee house, to the gang saying goodbye to apartment 20 ten years later, we have watched Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, and Ross grow from stupid kids, into stupid adults.

From its 236 episodes, there are no inherently bad outings, with the lowest rating from IMDb a still respectable 7.2. Yet while there are a lot of good episodes, a quite fantastic score of 9.1 is needed to break into the top 20 of all time.

So what constitutes a truly all time great episode of Friends? The comedy aspect? One standout, unforgettable moment? The payoff of a long running storyline? According to the fans, a little bit of everything.
