Friends: The Worst Episode From Every Season

1. Season Ten: The One Where Ross Is Fine

The sitcom's final season is barely better than its predecessor, with many poor episodes to choose from that could go here. But none are as lazy, aggravating and just plain awful as The One Where Ross Is Fine, an episode that once more makes Ross look like the world's biggest tool, without any attempt to redeem him.

Things start promising, with Ross walking in on Joey and Rachel kissing. It looks like the episode will turn into a much more serious one than what we got, full of hard-hitting drama and honest truths that put their relationship and Ross' reaction to it into perspective.

Instead, it turns into the Ross Show, with David Schwimmer giving the most over-the-top, painfully awkward and depressingly unamusing performance of the entire show, as Ross spends the half-hour speaking in a high-pitched, cartoony whine and forcing Joey, Rachel and girlfriend Charlie into the world's worst dinner.

Not only does Ross' loud attempts at comedy get old fast, but he also comes across as an unreasonable, awful friend, refusing to put his ego aside for one second to accept the romance of two of his closest friends. It really hurts to watch this one.
