FRIENDS episodes Tournament

[Boba Joe]

Even considering After the Superbowl as one episode, Ross Finds Out is the better episode.

[FilmBuff84]

The Superbowl.

[Damned Martian]

The Superbowl

Julia Roberts, Jean Claude Van Damme AND Brooke Shields? 3 of the best guest appearances of the series in a whole? Too much to vote for other!

And you have to love that ending:

[Scene: Filming a scene from the movie. Joey is dying on a gurney, Van Damme is looking over him.]

VAN DAMME: Can't you see what's going on here, this man is dying.
JOEY: Aaaaagggghhhhh.
DIRECTOR: Cut.

VAN DAMME: Can't you see what's going on here, this man is dying.
JOEY: Aaaaagggghhhhh.
DIRECTOR: Cut.

VAN DAMME: Can't you see what's going on here, this man is dying.
JOEY: Aaaaagggghhhhh. Mommy
DIRECTOR: Cut.

VAN DAMME: Can't you see what's going on here, this man is dead.

Plot:Joey, now earning money, gives Chandler an expensive (and gaudy) gold bracelet. Joey is hurt when he finds out Chandler doesn't like it. Monica has a job interview with a restaurant manager who has a salad fetish. Rachel's starting to date again, which prompts Ross to interfere... until she makes it clear that they are never going to get together. Phoebe shares her "lobster" theory. Jack and Judy Geller come by to drop off some of Monica's things; they're turning her room into a gym. Monica tells them about losing her job, but she just can't get the courage to ask them for money. Amongst Monica's items from home is a video of herself and Rachel preparing for their Senior Prom. Rachel's pre-surgery nose, Monica's large stature, and Ross' "Mr. Kotter" look are featured. In the video, Rachel's date doesn't show up and she's distraught about having to miss her own Prom. Ross prepares to take her, but just before this is revealed, Rachel's date shows up. Rachel, watching the video for the first time, is so moved by Ross' compassion for her that she forgives him for "the list" and kisses him passionately. Monica discovers some unexpected footage of her parents at the end of the video tape.

Tow they said....
Mrs. Geller (on video): Get a shot of Monica. Where's Monica?
Monica (on video): Over here dad.
Mr. Geller (on video): Wait, how do you zoom out? There she is.
Joey: Some girl ate Monica!
Monica: Shut up, the camera adds ten pounds.
Chandler: Uh, so how many cameras are actually on you?

TOW Ross and Rachel....you know
http://friends.webz.cz/pictures/captures/capture215.jpg
PLOT:Joey buys a big screen TV and two leather reclining chairs; he and Chandler don't move from them for days. Phoebe helps Monica cater a party at the home of Dr. Richard Burke, an old friend of the Gellers, who recently divorced. Despite their age difference, Richard and Monica begin dating. Ross and Rachel begin dating. One of their dates is interrupted when Ross is paged to the museum. By the time he's done with work, their plans are ruined, so they spend the night together in the museum. Joey and Chandler watch Beavis and Butthead.

TOW they said...
Ross: Woah, woah, woah! Australopithicus isn't supposed to be in that display. No. No. No, no, Homo-habilus was erect, Australopithicus was never fully erect.

The Prom Video

Here is the link to the NBC website that is conducting a poll from viewers to determine the favorite episodes of all time. It doesn't contain every episode, just the ones that already seem to be the most popular. The 6 episodes that get the most votes will be counted down in March-April with top vote-getter being the last one shown. The last 4 remaining episodes of the Season 10 will be shown in April-May. Season finales have been split in two (I.E. The One With Ross' Wedding) , so if a one hour show gets voted, it would have to be shown in back-to-back weeks (Not in one night). However, the cool thing is that you can vote as often as you like. I would do it fast before they shut the website down.

TOW Joey Moves out
http://friends.webz.cz/pictures/captures/capture216.jpg
PLOT:Chandler and Joey attend a party thrown by one of the other actors on Days of Our Lives. He happens to be moving out, so he offers to let Joey have his apartment. Having never lived alone, Joey decides to take him up on it, which disheartens Chandler. Phoebe and Rachel decide to get tattoos; their decision is complicated by the facts that Ross doesn't like tattoos and Phoebe doesn't like needles. Ross, Monica, and Richard go to Jack Geller's birthday party. Everyone is buzzing with rumors of Richard's young new girlfriend (also known as his "twinkie in the city"). Monica hides in the bathtub; her parents come into the bathroom and fool around. Later, Monica reveals her relationship with Richard to her parents.

Tow they said...
Chandler: Excuse me, you guys are getting tattoos?
Rachel: Yes, but you can not tell Ross, 'cause I want to surprise him.
Joey: Wow, this is wild. What're you gonna get?
Phoebe: Um, I'm getting a lily... for my Mom. 'Cause her name's Lily.
Chandler: Wow, that's lucky. What if her name was Big Ugly Splotch?

TOW Eddie Moves in
http://friends.webz.cz/pictures/captures/capture217.jpg
PLOT:Joey shows his friends his new apartment, which (unfortunately) he decorated himself. A record producers signs Phoebe to make a video of Smelly Cat, but dubs in someone else's voice. Monica is annoyed that Ross is around so much; they fight like typical siblings. Chandler and Joey miss each other, but neither one will admit it. Chandler gets a new roommate, Eddie, who seems like a great guy. Joey is jealous, and he and Chandler fight like a typical couple. Chandler finds out that he does really have that much in common with Eddie after all.

Tow they said....
Phoebe: I mean, this poor woman!
Ross: What woman?
Phoebe: The voice woman. You know, I mean, she has a great voice but she doesn't have a video.
Rachel: Okay, Phoebs. But what about you?
Phoebe: Well, I have a video. You have to pay attention. No this... this voice woman, she's so talented, but according to the producer people, they said she doesn't have, like, the right look or something. You know? I mean, it's like, she's like one of those animals at the pound who, like, nobody wants 'cause they're not pretty enough. Or you know, like... like some old dog who's just kind of like, stinky and.... Uh! Oh my God, she's Smelly Cat. Oh! Oh, that song has so many levels.

Monica: But I thought you wanted to live by yourself.
Joey: I did. I thought it'd be great. I figured I'd have, like, time alone with my thoughts. But, you know, it turns out I don't have as many thoughts as you'd think.

TOW Dr Ramoray dies
http://friends.webz.cz/pictures/captures/capture218.jpg
PLOT:Chandler's roommate, Eddie, begins to show signs of instability: He's obsessed with his ex-girlfriend; he accuses Chandler of sleeping with her, and of killing his fish. Richard wonders how many men Monica's been with, after Phoebe announces that it's been "a lot." This leads Ross and Rachel to a similar discussion. Monica has Richard sleep over on the same night that Rachel has Ross sleep over. Unfortunately, there's only one condom in the apartment. Joey's claim in Soap Opera Digest that he writes a lot of his own lines angers the show's writer, who decides to have Dr. Ramoray fall down an elevator shaft.

Tow they said....
Rachel: Oh, please! That Paolo thing was barely a relationship. All it really was was just, you know, meaningless animal sex. ...Okay, you know, that sounded so much better in my head.

Rachel: Ross, look. What you and I have is special. All Paolo and I ever had was...
Ross: Animal sex? Animal sex? So what're you saying? I mean, you're saying that, like, there's nothing between us "animal" at all? I mean there's not even like, um, a little animal? Not even... not even like... like chipmunk sex

This is a toughie, but I'm gonna vote for TOW Dr Ramoray dies.

TOW Eddie Won't go
(Srry couldn't find a pic for this one)
PLOT:Chandler wakes in the night to find Eddie watching him sleep; they argue and Eddie agrees to leave. The next day, Eddie goes on a fruit drying kick and has no recollection of their previous conversation. Variations of this happened day after day. Joey's pride won't let him try out for small roles, but his mounting debts (and Ross) slowly convince him otherwise. Joey makes good use of his "Word of the Day" toilet paper. Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe read a female empowerment book, Be Your Own Windkeeper, which has even more detrimental effects on their relationships with each other than it does on their relationships with men. Joey moves back in with Chandler, which allows Chandler to take advantage of Eddie's faulty memory, and finally be rid of him.

TOW they said...
Eddie: Why doesn't my key work and what's all my stuff doing downstairs?
Chandler: Well, I'm... I'm sorry. Uh, have we met?
Eddie: It's Eddie, you freak. Your roommate.
Chandler: I... I'm sorry, I, uh, I already have a roommate.
Joey: Hello.
Chandler: Yeah, he's lived here for years, I don't... I don't know what you're talking about, man.
Eddie: No, he... he moved out and I moved in.
Chandler: Well, I... I think we'd remember something like that.
Joey: I know I would.
Eddie: Well, that's, uh... that's a good point. Um, okay, well, uh, I guess I got the wrong apartment then. I... I'm... look, I'm, you know, I'm sorry, I'm terribly sorry.

I vote TOW Eddie won't go. Love the ending.

TOW Old Yeller dies
http://friends.webz.cz/pictures/captures/capture220.jpg
PLOT:Phoebe discovers that her mother used to shield her from the sad parts of movies, like Old Yeller. She rents all the movies her mother used to show her, and gets rather depressed and pessimistic. Ross, bothered that he's missing significant steps in Ben's development, takes Ben for a weekend. Ben says his first words. At Monica's request, Chandler and Joey start spending time hanging out with Richard. Then they try to be more like Richard: Joey smokes cigars and Chandler grows a mustache. Richard starts to talk and dress like Chandler. They end up spending too much time together, until Richard discovers they view him as a father figure, rather than one of the guys. Rachel finds out that Ross has his future with her all planned out, and she panics.

The one where they said....
Phoebe: I've never seen this part before. Hey, Travis, watcha doin' with that gun? Oh, no! No, no, Travis, put down the gun. No, no, no, no, he... he's your buddy, he's your Yeller! No, no, no, the end! The end!

TOW Bullies

PLOT:Monica notices a stock with her initials (MEG), and decides to try to make a living on the stock market rather than take a demeaning job at a 50's theme diner. She doesn't do so well. Phoebe decides it's time to meet her father, but accidentally runs over his dog. After getting it back from the vet, she delivers it home, only to find that Frank Buffay hasn't been there for four years. However, she discovers she has a half-brother, Frank Junior. Ross and Chandler get intimidated out of their seats, a hat, and the coffee shop, by a couple of bullies. As they're about to have a final showdown, someone steals from all of them, so Ross, Chandler, and the bullies band together to kick butt.

TOW they said....

TOW They said....

Monica: I still have to invite Dillon and Emma and Shannon Cooper.
Joey: Woah, woah, woah. Uh, no Shannon Cooper.
Phoebe: Why not her?

Monica: Joey, that is horriable!
Joey: Hey, I liked her, all right? Maybe... maybe too much. I don't know, I guess I just got scared.
Phoebe: I'm sorry, I didn't know.
Joey: I didn't think anyone'd buy that. Okay!

I vote TOW Two Parties. One of my favourite episodes.

[Boba Joe]

The Two Parties

One of the funniest "chaotic" episodes in the entire series.
"What would Jack and Chrissy do?" indeed, Mr. Bing.

And the friction between Ross and Rachel's father is hilarious and has stayed on track over the years.

Classic episode.

TOW Chicken Pox
http://members.lycos.co.uk/sarahsfriends/images/223pho&ryan.jpg
PLOT:Phoebe's Navy man (Ryan) is in town for two weeks, but their plans are foiled because Phoebe has the chicken pox, and gives them to him as well. Monica tapes oven mits to their hands so they won't scratch. Monica is releaved that Richard thinks her neurotic behavior is endearing; but she's upset that he doesn't seem to have any compulsive obsessions himself. Chandler gets Joey a job at his office, and tells him to act like a processor. Joey takes it too far, and invents a character, "Joseph," who has a wife and kids, and who causes quite a bit of trouble for Chandler. Rachel is turned on by uniforms; Ross gets one.

TOW they said...
Rachel: Okay, Chandler, Mon, there's only one banana-nut muffin left.
[Chandler grabs it.]
Monica: Oh! I ordered mine first!
Chandler: Yeah, but I'm... I'm so much faster.
Monica: Give it to me.
Chandler: No.
Monica: Give it to me!
Chandler: Okay, you can have it.
[Chandler licks it.]
[Monica grabs the coffee cup from the table and licks the rim.]
Monica: There you go, enjoy your coffee.
Chandler: That was there when I got here.

and

Joey: Well, see, when you're acting you need to think about stuff like that. My character, Joseph the processor guy, has two little girls, Ashley and Brittany. Ashley copies everything Brittany does.
Chandler: Well, invisible kids can be that way sometimes.
Joey: Yeah. Joseph and his wife, Karen, are thinking of having a third kid. You know what? Just did!

and


Chandler: All right, so I can't fire Joseph. But, uh... I can sleep with his wife!
Joey: Karen!
Chandler: Yeah, Karen. I'm thinking about having an affair with her. Oh, you know what? I just did.
Joey: Huh? What the hell are you doing to me, man?
Chandler: Oh, well, it's not me, it's my character, "Chandy." Yeah, the rogue processor who seduces his co-worker's wives for sport and then laughs about it the next day at the water cooler! In fact, I have her panties right there in my drawer!

http://members.lycos.co.uk/sarahsfriends/images/224rach.jpg
PLOT:Joey has an audition for a movie directed by Warren Beatty; the part involves kissing another man, and Joey tries to find one to practice with. Rachel prepares to be the Maid of Honor at Mindy's wedding to Barry. The Bridesmaid's dresses are hideous. Going to the wedding is even more painful than Rachel expected. Her dress gets caught in her underwear, she finds out that Barry's parents told everyone she was insane from Syphilis, and Barry and his best man make jokes about her. But she finds the strength to stay. Chandler meets a woman on the Internet; he really likes her. He finds out she's married, but decides to meet her anyway. She turns out to be Janice. Monica asks Richard about his plans for the future, and discovers he doesn't want to start having kids again. While at Barry and Mindy's wedding, they decide their relationship is over.

TOW they said...
Ross: All right, I've been feeling incredibly guilty about this, because I wanna be a good friend, and damn it, I am a good friend. So just... just shut up and close your eyes.
[Ross kisses Joey.]
Joey: Wow, you are a good friend. Of course the audition was this morning, and I didn't get it. But that was a hell of a kiss. Rachel is a very lucky girl.

I vote TOW Chicken Pox.

TOW Princess Leia Fantasy
((Sorry. There weren't any pics of Rachel in the Leia costume))
http://www.sarahsfriends.olddh.com/images/301a.jpg
PLOT:Monica is dysfunctional because of her breakup with Richard. Joey can't stand having Janice around all the time; she invites him on a "day of fun" so they can get to know each other. Ross and Rachel talk about their fantasies; Rachel then tells Phoebe and Monica about Ross's Princess Leia fantasy. Phoebe helps Monica try to relax. Ross and Chandler share personal information, which leads to some unpleasant side effects for Ross. Mr. Geller shows up and comforts Monica.

TOW they said....
Chandler: Okay. You know... you know when your in bed. With a woman. And, uh, you know, you're fooling around with her. And you get all these, like, mental images in your brain, you know, like Elle MacPherson, or that girl at the Xerox place....
Ross: With the belly-button ring? Oh, mwaaa!
Chandler: I know! And then all of the sudden your Mom pops into your head. And you're like, "Mom, get outta here," you know, but of course, like, after that you can't possibly think of anything else, and you can't, you know, stop what you're doing. So it's kinda like, you're, you know... you know.... You don't know!
Ross: Your Mom? you're telling me... you're telling me about your Mom? What is the matter with you?
Chandler: You said...
Ross: I said, "share," not "scare!" Go sit over there!

and

[Scene: Ross's bedroom, Ross is humming the Star Wars theme. Rachel enters, with her hair done up like Princess Leia's, and wearing a belly dancer's outfit, to simulate the gold bikini thing.]

Rachel: Okay, here we go. I'm Jabba's prisoner, and you have a really weird look on your face. What? Honey, what is it? Did I get it wrong? Did I get the hair wrong? What? Did you just picture it differently? What? What?

Ross: No, no it's, um, it's not you, um, it's um, it's (turns and sees his Mom standing where Rachel is)

Mrs. Geller: Well what is it? Come on sweetie, your like, freaking me out here.

Ross: I hate Chandler, the bastard ruined my life. (Rachel starts looking around and down, with a 'What the hell is going on?' look on her face.)

I vote TOW Princess Leia Fantasy. I love it, George Lucas even loved it. One of the best episodes of Friends.

TOW No ones Ready
http://www.einsiders.com/reviews/dvd/images/friends_season3-commando.jpg
PLOT:Ross has an important night but no one else is ready to go. Joey and Chandler fight about chairs and clothes. Joey spills humus on Phoebe's dress. Monica hears an old message from Richard and thinks that it might be new; she leaves him a message which she then tries to erase, but just makes it worse. Rachel can't decide what to wear; Ross gets angry and Rachel decides not to go... unless he drinks the fat.

TOW they said....
Joey: Okay, buddy-boy. Here it is: You hide my clothes, I'm wearing everything you own.
Chandler: Oh my God! That is so not the opposite of taking somebody's underwear!
Joey: Look at me--I'm Chandler! Could I be wearing any more clothes? Maybe if I wasn't going commando!

Both episodes are great, and this is tough for me to decide...but I'm going to go with TOW No ones Ready, because of Joey impersonating Chandler, and doing lunges lol.

Joey impersonating Chandler was funny, and Rahcel looked smoking hot in her dress at the end.

Two great episodes, but I vote for the genius "real time" of TOW
No One's Ready . This one easily ranks in my Top 10 faves all time.

There is a nine minute "gag reel" on Season 6 DVD that is worth the price by itself. Check it out.

Second, she begins screen sperm donors--and runs into Joey's file. Phoebe is followed by her sister's stalker (Malcolm)... then starts dating him. Chandler seeks advice on relationships from Rachel and Ross. Ross secretly tells him about the "hug and roll"--a maneuver designed to end the cuddling and give you some space. Chandler tries it out but ends up dumping Janice on the floor.

TOW they said....
Monica: Alright, how's this? Twenty-seven. Italian-American guy. He's an actor, born in Queens. Wow, big family! Seven sisters, and he's the only... boy. Oh my God, under personal comments: New York Knicks rule!

Phoebe forgets to tell Joey about an audition... but makes it up to him by calling the casting director and pretending to be an agent; Joey asks her to represent him full time. Ross has a hard time accepting that his son plays with a Barbi doll; he tries to get him interested in more masculine toys. Chandler is scared of the "tunnel" of commitment until Joey convinces him to face his fears... but then Chandler overdoes it and scares Janice away for a while. Monica and Rachel welcome Chandler to "their side of the tunnel" and console him with ice-cream.

TOW They said...
Joey: Oh, yeah. Go for it man! Jump off the high dive. Stare down the barrel of a gun, pee into the wind!
Chandler: Yeah. Joe, I assure you if I'm staring down the barrel of a gun, I'm gonna be pretty much peeing every which way.

Then he gets sidetracked on re-tiling Monica's bathroom floor. Phoebe hangs out with her half-brother, Frank Jr., in hopes of getting to know him better; he misunderstands when she tells him she gives people "massages and stuff". The gang all consider what five celebrities would be on their "freebie list"--people they can sleep with without anyone getting upset; Ross finally narrows his list down by eliminating Isabella Rossellini... then he bumps into her.

Chandler: You're building a post office?

Ross: Ah, the heart of every healthy relationship: Honesty, respect, and sex with celebrities.
Monica: So, Chandler... who's on your list?
Chandler: Uh, Kim Basinger, Cindy Crawford, Halle Berry, Yasmine Bleeth, and, ah, Jessica Rabbit.

They eventually do, but soon have problems when Leslie sells "Smelly Cat" to a kitty litter company. Chandler meets a woman (Ginger) in the men's room and asks her out; coincidentally, Joey used to date her-- until an unfortunate incident occurred, involving her artificial leg.

Chandler has his third nipple removed.

Monica: You gave her food poisoning!
Joey: I wish! No. After dinner, me, her, and Pepper all fell asleep in front of the fire. Well, I woke up in the middle of the night and I saw that the fire was dying out, so I picked up a log and threw it on. Or, at least what I thought was a log.

Although it has since become my favorite joke since the the third season ("We were on a break!"), Ross and Rachel Take A Break is not only depressing but horribly written making Ross out to be the schmuck. It should have been more 50/50, instead of 60/40. :mad:

I vote for The One That Keeps On Rollin' (Football)

[jackson13]

If you were to ask me: "Hey, Nathan, whats your least favorite episode of Friends" I would reply in nanoseconds with "The One Where Ross & Rachel Take a Break". I hate how stupidly they broke up Ross & Rachel. I hate the damn Xerox girl almost as much as Mark because she was a major part of the break up as well. I hate the stupid ass storyline with Phoebe dating the guy who doesnt speak english because the non-english speaking guy and his translator are 2 of the most annoying characters ever to set foot on a tv screen. The only thing holding this episode together, somewhat, is Chandler and Joey. Their conversation on the couch about 'who would be where in a 3 some with Chloe (xerox girl)' was downright hilarious. Other than that, ptooey, shit episode.


Football. Hands down, feet down, whatever else you wanna throw down.

You are right on target. This was by far the worst episode (both parts) in the history of the show. It was a huge mistake and they should have kept Ross and Rachel together. It made Rachel look like a spoiled bitch and it made Ross look like a schmuck.

Football all the way.

Definetly Football, like I said, it has an easy road for a while, might as well give it victories for a long time.

TOW Morning After
http://friendsfr.free.fr/grdim/316.2.jpg
PLOT:Rachel is sorry about her fight with Ross; meanwhile, Ross wakes up with the Xerox girl; Chandler and Joey convince Ross not to tell Rachel; Ross tries to make sure Rachel doesn't find out. Monica and Phoebe try out a "painless" leg waxing kit. Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, and Monica get stuck in Monica's room while Ross and Rachel try to work things out.

TOW they said...
Rachel: And to have to hear about it from Gunther!
Ross: Come on! Like I wanted him to tell you? I ran all over the place trying to make sure that didn't happen!
Rachel: Oh, that is so sweet. I think I'm falling in love with you all over again.

and

Ross: Look, Rachel... I wanted to tell you. I thought I should, I did. And then Chandler and Joey convinced me not to.
Chandler: Wax the door shut, we're never leaving, ever.

Phoebe: We could eat the wax! It's organic.
Chandler: Oh great, food with hair on it.
Phoebe: No! Not the used wax.
Chandler: Because that would be crazy?

Morning After

They dragged the "we were on a break" thing on for so long that it became annoying and unfunny, but I liked this episode at the time.

Haven't seen "Football" for quite a while, but I remember Monica really getting on my nerves, as she always does when she's über-crazily-competitive-psycho-bitch-Monica.

[Damned Martian]

Football, even though Joey's face when he uses the wax is awesome :D

[bankholdup]

I'm gonna go with Morning After, because it has one of the best quotes ever...


Joey: Do we have condoms?
Pheobe: Why?
Joey: Well we may be in here a long time and we may need to repopulate the world.
Chandler: And condoms are the way to do that?



It was something like that...

[jeo4]

Football again.

I hate the break up. I hate Rachel even more for being so petty and unconcerned for anyone's feelings but her own. I'm also annoyed that Ross just went out and shagged the first babe he ran into. It made both of them look very weak and it ended in the worst way possible. Call me when the season's over. I'll be voting for the Football episode for a long time to come.

Actually, you got the wrong episode all together. That quote is from Season 5. Joey is scrounging around under Monicas bed and Monica, Chandler and Pheobe are watching him because they are hiding in Monica room again due to the fact Ross and Rachel are having a talk in the living room after his marriage to Emily. It goes like this:

Monica, to Joey: "Hey, Joey's ass!"
Chandler, to Joey: "What are you doing?"
Joey: "Well, remember a couple years ago when they had that big fight? Well, when Ross said 'Rachel' at the wedding I figured it was bound to happen again, so I hid this box of stuff in here."
Phoebe, looking through the box: "Joey, its not gonna....ooh Mad Libs?! MINE!"
Chandler, looking through the box: "Condoms, Joe?"
Joey: "The way I see it, we could be in here for a long time. We may have to repopulate the earth."
Chandler: "And condoms are the way to do that?"




My vote goes to Football. As usual.

[Annie Hall]

The One with all the Football


Chandler: Tell me Joe, where do Dutch people come from?
Joey: Well, the Pennsylvania Dutch come from Pennsylvania.
Chandler:...how about the Dutch Dutch? Is it somewhere near...the Netherlands?
Joey: No! You can't trick me, see, the Netherlands is where Peter Pan and Captain Hook live...

TOW The Ski Trip
http://friendsfr.free.fr/grdim/317.jpg
PLOT:Ross and Rachel's fighting causes the gang to try to hang out with them separately. Chandler, under stress because Ross and Rachel's break-up reminds him of his parents divorce, starts smoking again. Rachel invites everyone but Ross to go skiing for the weekend; they get locked out of the car at a rest stop; Rachel refuses to call Ross for help, so Monica and Phoebe do it behind her back; he comes to their aid and then gets stuck because his battery dies. Ross interferes with Carol's and Susan's "Anniversary".

TOW They said....
Joey: Hey, can you close that window, Chandler? My nipples could cut glass over here!
Phoebe: Wait, Really? 'Cause mine get me out of tickets.

and

Carol: You slept with another woman?
Ross: Oh, y-you're-you're one to talk.

I don't see serious competition until The Jellyfish (Season 4 opener).

[jackson13]

Although the scene with everyone yelling and Chandler freaks out to draw attention away from the fighting, plus one of my favorite quotes:

Chandler, reading what Joey wrote on the ground in sticks: "Pleh?"
Joey: "Thats 'help' spelled backwards so they can read it from the rescue plane."
Ross walks in and kicks all of the sticks on accident
Joey: "AHHHH!"
Chandler: "Oh, no. Now its not gonna make any sense."



My vote goes to Football. I dont say this much, but Rachel was downright annoying in Ski Trip. I just wanted to reach through the tv and slap her while screaming "Stop being a bitch to Ross! It's your fault you broke up! You wanted the break, you were seeing Mark more than him! ARGH!"

Couldn't find any good pics for TOW Hypnosis tape, so this match will be without pics, I'm afraid.

TOW Football

TOW Hypnosis Tape
PLOT:Rachel gives Chandler a hypnosis tape to help him quit smoking; however, the tape was designed for women--and it works all too well. Phoebe's brother, Frank, announces that he's getting married--to his home economics teacher, who is much older; Phoebe tries to break it up and enlists help from Ross and Joey. Monica gets asked out by a customer at the diner, who turns out to be a millionaire; they go out for pizza... in Italy.


TOW They said....
Hypnosis Tape: You are falling fast asleep. Deeper. Deeper. Deeper. You are now completely asleep. You don't need to smoke. Cigarettes don't control you. You are a strong, confident woman who does not need to smoke. A strong, confident woman.

Joey: Why can't I find that?
Ross: Don't ask me, I had it and I blew it!
Joey: Well, I want it!
Frank: You can have it!
Joey: I don't know, maybe I can't. I mean, maybe there's something wrong with me.
Frank: It's out there man! I've seen it! I got it!
Joey: Then you hold on to it!
Frank: All right, man!
Joey: All right, congratulations you lucky bastard!

I vote TOW Football.Tho the hypnosis tape is a good episode.

[Boba Joe]

Phoebe: Well, he's 18.
Ross: Exactly. It'll be illegal for him to drink at his own bachelor party.
Joey: Yeah, or to get a hooker.
Chandler: Always illegal, Joe.

Hypnosis Tape introduced us to Alice Knight and Pete Becker, two of the more interesting reoccurring characters.
And in a "deleted scene" on the DVD, "hypnotic" Chandler tries to throw keys to Joey: Hilarious. :p

That being said, I vote for The Football.

TOW Tiny T-Shirt
http://friendsfr.free.fr/grdim/319-2.jpg
PLOT:Monica continues to date Pete but is still not attracted to him; he thinks she might change her mind. Joey gets a lead part in a play, but can't stand the female lead... until he realizes he likes her. Mark asks Rachel out. Rachel asks Ross to come over, but just so she can return some of his stuff; Ross gets upset and demands all his stuff back, including a tiny t-shirt that Rachel likes to sleep in. Later, Ross finds out Rachel is going on a date with Mark and spies on them through Chandler's peep-hole. Phoebe ponders Spiderman

TOW they said.....
Pete: So, ya know, that's why within a few years that voice recognition is gonna be pretty much standard on any computer you buy. So you can be, like... like, "Wash my car," "Clean my room." You know it's not gonna be able to do any of those things... but it'll understand what you're saying.

Monica: I mean, in every other way he's... he's the perfect guy. He has everything. Plus he actually has everything.
Chandler: Life sized Imperial Storm Troopers from Sharper Image?
Monica: Two.
Chandler: Wow. Can Joey and I put them on and fight?

Joey: Ya know, I don't know why my character likes you, either. I mean, it says in the script here that you're a bitch.
Kate: It doesn't say that in the script!
Joey: It does in mine.

Phoebe: You know what? You should, like... you should buy a state and just name it after yourself.
Pete: What, like Pete Dakota?
Phoebe: Or like Mississipete.
Joey: Oh, oh I got it: Pete Chicago.
Chandler: That's not a state, Joe.
Joey: Oh, and Mississipete is?

TOW Tiny T-Shirt is also good with a lot of good quotes. I especially like the Kate and Joey relationship. But Football it still is for me.
