If I had a nickel every time I giggle watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and especially Ross, I would be filthy rich by now.
The above line is not mine, may be someone else’s but exactly represents the way I feel when I watch one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
It was very hard to choose the favorite among all six lead characters, but using my Data Analytical skills and partial liking to Ross strengthened the fact that ROSS, in fact, is the most important character in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Please don’t hate me, this is just the way I feel.
So, here I am, putting together the list of incidents that make me happy even during these difficult times of COVID19. Stay safe, everyone!
We’ll go in the ascending order of liking off course.
Number 7 – Leather Pants
This scene is funny on so many levels. I know it is not right to laugh at someone’s expense but Ross is so cute in this scene that it is very hard for you not to laugh at him. The scene reaches its peak when Ross calls Joey (well, Chandler) for help and things just go downhill from there. Enough with me, you go enjoy the scene.
Number 6 – Spray Tan
Where do I begin with this? Do I find Ross counting 1, 2,..5 as 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi,.. cuter or the way he believed Chandler when he told he also got the same tan, but showed up just to capture the moment. This story is filled with so many twists for our poor Ross that you don’t help but laugh at his misery, again, not a nice thing to do, but you just can’t help yourself.
Enjoy.
Number 5 – I am fine
This is the story of our poor Ross coping with the fact that his two best friends are hooking up without his knowledge. More than that, his best friend, Joey, and his “former” love Rachel.
Ross takes it the hardest and thinks it is a good idea for him, Charlie (Joey’s ex and a super smart woman – the kind of girls that I like, FYI), Rachel, and Joey. In the end, it turns out to be a disaster, Ross finishing up entire Margarita and forgetting to put on oven mitts while holding the cast iron pan filled with Mexican Fajita.
Writing about the scene cracks me up.
Watch yourselves.
Number 4 – Unagi
This is by the most hilarious episode you can watch with kids at home, and still can laugh your as off. This scene gives you so much insight as to how Ross thinks about everything, including himself, and it is so fun to watch. When he tries to explain what Unagi means to both Rachel and Pheobe, you should see how serious he is, but both Rachel and Pheobe end up making fun of him, which you should expect from your best friends, right?
The way he shouts “DANGER” in the hallway is too fun to miss. In the end, I loved how he get his ass whooped by both Rachel and Pheobe and when he tries to explain them that “UNAGI IS NOT SOMETHING YOU ARE, UNAGI IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE”.
Laugh, Fun, Laughter everywhere.
Number 3 – Pivot
This is the SINGLE WORD which gives you laugh whenever you hear it, and off course if you have seen F.R.I.E.N.D.S. before. This word has given so many T-shirt ideas than I can remember.
For me, the funnier part is in the store when he tries to convince Rachel regarding his choice of the couch and to help to lift it up all the way from the store to his apartment. Also, the scene scales new heights when Chandler joins the gang.
See for yourselves.
Number 2 – My sandwich
Oh man, I loveeeeeeeeeeee this scene. I was a foodie once and I know exactly how Ross must have felt when he learnt someone took and ate his sandwich. I feel for you, Ross. I love his expression when his supervisor tells him that he ate his sandwich and he had to throw most of it away just because it was so big.
The expression that Ross gave cracks me up every time I watch the below scene.
Number 1 – You ducked
I am being partial here, because S9E2 is my favorite episode just for the fact that Ross and Joey are “fighting” in this scene and Ross ends up getting hurt, *twice*.
I won’t talk more about it because I just can’t express this feeling in words.
Hope you guys like the listing. Please let me know if I missed anything.
