Friends: The Worst Episode From Every Season

5. Season Six: The One With Joey's Fridge

Isn't it telling that many of Friends' worst episodes feature Ross at his most unapologetically awful? The One With Joey's Fridge is one of his worst outings by far, and to make the episode worse it even finds a way to make Joey unlikable.

But first, Ross' stuff. In the episode, Ross is sent into a spiral when he finds out his college girlfriend Elizabeth is going on spring break. Because of his crippling, over-the-top trust issues, he thinks she's going to cheat on him, and so conspires to keep her from going away.

Elsewhere in the episode, Joey's fridge breaks and he keeps trying to push his friends into it so he can blame them for its faults and con them out of some money. It gets old fast, and honestly isn't that funny to begin with.

In the end, nothing really works with the episode, not even Chandler, Monica and Phoebe's sub-plot about finding a date for Rachel's upcoming work event, since they all come across as controlling and infantile throughout. And the final shot revealing Ross went with Elizabeth for spring break is just...so, so wrong. Ew.
