8. Ross Says The Wrong Name (The One With Ross's Wedding)

TV audiences are no stranger to cringe-infested moments. If you've spent any time watching sitcoms, then you've probably had plenty of times where the awkwardness of a situation leaves you uncomfortable. But, in the world of Friends, nothing made you cringe harder than seeing Ross say the wrong name at the altar.

This scene comes from the two-part finale to season four, and it leaves you on quite a cliff-hanger. Throughout the two outings, the characters visit London in preparation for Ross's wedding to Emily, but Rachel has ulterior motives as she intends to confess her feelings for Ross.

In the end, she chooses not to, but upon being asked to say his vows, Ross makes the catastrophic error of saying Rachel's name instead of his brides. The instant fear in his eyes, shocked reaction from Emily and the tension in the church makes it a moment you'll never forget.

Of course, there ended up being some dire consequences for this action, even if it was only an accident. But fans had to wait until the next season to see the aftermath.
