Friends: The Worst Episode From Every Season

3. Season Eight: The One With Joey's Interview

For the sake of avoiding repetition, this list has tried not to focus too much on clip shows, but even so it's hard not to shout-out The One With Joey's Interview, a filler episode so uneventful and dull that it's genuinely difficult to pay attention to.

Though it starts with promise by having Joey sit down to an interview with a soap magazine, it quickly devolves into unfocussed flashback sequences detailing the highs and lows of his career, most of which have very little bearing on the trajectory of the interview.

Although it's marginally interesting to see how Joey's career has progressed through the years, the episode ultimately has pitifully few things to say outside of "Joey says dumb things and gets in trouble for them a lot, hahahahahahaha."

Much like season four's The One With The Invitation, The One With Joey's Interview can easily be skipped without missing anything of note, and therefore stands as the worst episode in a season full of terrible plotlines.
