Friends: 10 Most Insane Things Phoebe Has Done

Having your brother's babies almost seems normal in comparison to these plot-lines.

Everyone has their favourite Friends character, who is the best friend is often debated by fans across the globe. However, one thing we can all agree on is that the absolute weirdest character is without a doubt Phoebe Buffay.

Constantly baffling the group with her anecdotes from before she was in their lives, Phoebe is the whimsical and ditsy friend. Whilst it is used for comedic effect, she clearly had a difficult upbringing. Her father abandoned her mother, not long after her mother killed herself. She is estranged from her twin sister and spent portions of her childhood homeless and fending for herself. That environment goes some way to explaining her stranger quirks.

Each of the characters have their fair share of misadventures and oddities: anyone remember that time Chandler locked himself in a box to win back Joey's trust? However, Phoebe seemed to always get the short stick when it came to the more out-there plots, filling her already colourful history with more and more interesting stories.

She is certainly the friend you would want to chat to at a party but maybe not while she's possessed by a deceased client...

10. When She Secretly Moved Out

After living with neat-freak Monica for a while Phoebe decides she cannot stand it anymore and so does the logical thing by moving out. However in true Phoebe fashion it is not so simple.

To avoid hurting Monica's feelings she pretends to still be living with her and so has been sneaking furniture out the flat and over to her grandmother's apartment. To keep up the ruse she sneaks away every night and comes back every morning. Monica eventually finds out by noticing that none of Phoebe's things - specifically her bed - is missing from her room.

After sneaking all her things out under Monica's nose, the two discuss the situation and leave it on good terms, although Monica is disheartened and questions if this is why she is single. A majorly awkward way round a situation that could have been avoided if Phoebe had spoken to her in the first place.
