10. Series 3 Episode 5: Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps
Written by Dan Harmon
FRIENDS Title The One Where They all Tell Horror Stories Quote of the Week
Radio Presenter (in Brittas Story): In the news tonight, top story. An escaped convict from the asylum has escaped and hes mental and hes on the loose and stuff. Outstanding Character
Britta was never a favorite of mine, nor, I suspect many other people since the writers have made her unpopularity something of a running joke but in this episode she shines. A little like Meg from Family Guy jokes around her work best at her expense and in this episode the entire joke is how inept she is at her psychology major. Why this Episode is so Good When Britta discovers that one of the Study Group are displaying psychopathic indicators she gets them all to tell a spooky horror story in order to fin out which one. The jokes are fast and furious with each of the characters revealing something of themselves in the telling of their stories. The best one is probably Abed's showing off his neurosis as he tries to make a horror story logical, completely missing the point of the popular tropes.
