10 Unexpected Sitcom Scenes That Made Us Bawl Our Eyes Out

6. The Friends Ending - Friends

There are often moments in Friends that are more serious than you'd expect; Ross cheating on Rachel is a prime example of that, and a story that showed Friends to be as much a soap-like drama as it was a comedy. The ending of Friends is inevitably sad, but it plays on the love that viewers have for the show, rather than any conflict between characters. The iconic flat is emptied completely, the group are moving on with their lives; it's tear-jerking because it's the end, and the writers make no bones about that. If we'd have been treated to just another regular episode, with the possibility of another series in the pipeline, it would have been a different story. But with every year that we don't see a reunion, that final episode really does feel final.
