Friends: 10 Worst Episodes
1. The One With The Donor (Season 9 Episode 22)
After receiving the awful news that they won't be able to have children naturally, Chandler and Monica discuss the idea of having a sperm donor. With that in mind, Chandler invites over his colleague, Zack (John Stamos) as a potential donor, something that Zack has not been informed about. Joey's girlfriend Charlie goes shopping with Rachel and Phoebe which annoys Rachel as she has started to develop feelings for Joey and is growing jealous of Charlie.
What sucks: A few things don't quite work in this episode which is a common theme throughout season 9. Ross' story about trying to convince a grumpy professor to send him to the paleontology convention in Barbados was a very unimaginative excuse to get the gang to go to Barbados. It's also hard to believe that Charlie would struggle to distinguish between Rachel and Phoebe's voices in the changing room. The plot to interrogate Zack as a potential sperm donor never really got going and it felt like a wasted opportunity to make an already funny scenario even more hilarious.
What didn't suck: The sweet moment Phoebe bumps into David at the end of the episode after his time away in Minsk.
