10 Best 100th Episodes Of TV Shows Ever

8. Friends - The One Hundredth

Friends took the approach of having a huge climactic moment for its 100th episode, rather than something looking back, with Phoebe giving birth to her brother's triplets.

It's a rare moment in the spotlight for Pheebs, and the episode uses the birth for humour and pathos alike. There are some truly hilarious moments, especially involving the Fonzy-loving doctor, and Ross coaching Joey through passing his kidney stones, while Frank Jr screaming "Chandler's a girl, Chandler's a girl!" is iconic.

But it's in the quiet moments Phoebe shares with the triplets, right before she has to give them up, that this episode really shines. Friends has rarely been so emotional.
