Friends: The Worst Episode From Every Season

Season two is a great instalment of sitcom fun, cementing Friends as a major hit and featuring some of the best episodes of the show. That being said, not every episode is a homerun, and season two's weakest moment would definitely have benefitted from not existing at all.

The One With Russ takes place after Ross blew his chances with Rachel after writing a list of comparing her to his girlfriend, Julie. The episode finds Rachel trying to move on by dating a guy called...Russ. Not only do they have similar names, but they're both David Schwimmer with different hair.

The entire premise is too ludicrous to find funny or endearing, and the too-cheesy episode makes no attempt to fix its silliness when Russ and Julie (both having been dumped) fall in love in its final moments.

That's all bad enough, but the episode also has a side-plot in which Monica starts dating "Fun" Bobby, and realises his upbeat persona comes from his alcoholism. The episode then plays Bobby's addiction as a mean punchline, and makes Monica look like an awful human being in the process. Gross.
