12 Dumb Decisions In Friends We Can't Forgive

9. Monica Thought Chandler Was Aroused By Sharks

They were both flawed characters, but Monica and Chandler just worked well together. It was the kind of romance that, as soon as they got together, you knew they would stay together. This wasn't going to be another Ross and Rachel saga, as their relationship was one of the highlights of the entire show.

That being said however, their marriage and their on-screen relationship was not perfect. For one thing, Chandler seemed to forget that he'd met Monica back when she was overweight, but one of the worst aspects came in season nine, with a storyline that revolved around sharks.

As Chandler was settling down in his Tulsa hotel room, he put on a dirty movie. When he heard someone enter the room however, he instinctively changed the channel, bringing up a shark documentary instead of naked women. Monica walked in, saw the situation, and instead of instantly putting together exactly what happened as any rational person would, she genuinely believed that her husband was turned on by sharks.

Redeemed possibly by Monica's will to support Chandler in this, it was a strange, less than funny story that the show really could have done without. One thing Monica had never been portrayed as was stupid, until this.
