Friends: Ranking Every Thanksgiving Episode From Worst To Best

5. The One With All The Thanksgivings (Season 5)

Friends More Turkey Mr Chandler
NBC

Set mostly in flashback, this one chronicles some of the worst Thanksgivings the gang have suffered, including Chandler finding out about his parents' divorce, him calling Monica fat, her chopping off his toe, and Phoebe losing an arm in a past life.

This one works really well as a flashback episode, as aside from the always entertaining gag of seeing the friends with some crazy 80s outfits it serves the development of their relationships, in particular the love between Chandler and Monica, and fills in some backstory on the latter's weight loss.

It's also great as a Thanksgiving episode, because there's so much of it featured, and of course two characters actually end up with a turkey on their head.
