10 Most Iconic Scenes In Friends

6. The Holiday Armadillo (The One With The Holiday Armadillo)

Friends Ross Rachel First Kiss

This scene is one that got many parents wondering what they would do in Ross' position, and just as many people wondering at what point you should just give it up. It's a hilarious moment with perfect visual spectacle, awkward humour and character building between Ross and his son Ben.

This episode follows as Ross tries to do something special for his son during the holidays, so goes to grab a Santa outfit. Unfortunately, all the golly man's costumes were rented out since it was so close to Christmas. Thus, Ross decided the best course of action was to create a new seasonal hero, The Holiday Armadillo.

The moment is naturally hilarious, as Ross attempts to make it seem legitimate, and Monica pokes fun. But, it becomes even better after Chandler and Joey also try to help by jumping in as Santa and Superman.

As much as it makes you laugh, The Holiday Armadillo moment is also beautiful in a way. It shows as Ross works hard to get Ben excited about Hanukkah, sharing a great moment with him and allowing viewers to see some genuine bonding between the father/son duo.
