Friends: The Worst Episode From Every Season
2. Season Nine: The One With The Sharks
Friends' ninth season is its weakest by some margin, so it's admittedly difficult to pick just one for this list. The One With Christmas In Tulsa is another clip show well worth skipping, and The One With The Male Nanny is an awkward stab at gender politics with few redeeming qualities.
That being said, neither of these episodes are nearly as poor as The One With The Sharks, which features two major storylines, neither of them as funny as they clearly think they are. On the one hand, Monica comes to believe Chandler is turned on by sharks; on the other, Ross tries to salvage Mike and Phoebe's relationship.
The whole "Chandler watches shark porn" drama is simply a car crash of a premise, cringe-worthily lazy and tough to comprehend how on earth it even got made. It's hard to watch, and even harder to understand why the writers would make Monica act so wildly out of character.
If that wasn't enough, Ross' attempts to help Mike and Phoebe through a rough spot comes complete with odd accents, over-the-top plot twists, and the general sense of pointlessness that taints the entire season.
