One of the most popular sitcoms of all time, Friends ran for 10 seasons from the mid-90’s and the adventures of Monica, Chandler, Rachel, Ross, Joey and Phoebe were a huge part of our lives. Now you can take a trip down memory lane anytime, anywhere on Stan.
Here are 10 of our favourite episodes from the much-loved series.
1. The One With All The Thanksgivings
Season 5, Episode 8
Every Episode Of Friends Is Now On Stan! Here Are Our 10 Favourites
Although the Thanksgiving meal is great, Chandler and Ross are both moody over divorce. The group reminisces about their worst Thanksgivings in order to cheer them up, and Monica’s worst memory is revealed.
Taking a trip down “worst thanksgivings” lane has never been so comical. From Phoebe’s past lives to Joey’s close encounter with a turkey, we’ll never look at toes diced carrots the same again.

2. The One Where Everybody Finds Out
Season 5, Episode 14
When Phoebe finds out about Monica and Chandler, she and Rachel start messing with them and attempt to get them to confess their relationship.
Watching Monica and Chandler keep their secret romance hidden provided lots of LOLs, but watching them try to outwit Phoebe in a game of fake seduction gives us as many laughs as #relationshipgoals

3. The One With The Prom Video
Season 2, Episode 14
The gang watch a home video from the night of Monica and Rachel’s prom. Joey gives Chandler a hideous bracelet.
It doesn’t do it often, but when Friends gets sentimental we all weep. Plus, flashback hair!

4. The One With Chandler In A Box
Season 4 Episode 8
Chandler desperately tries to earn Joey’s forgiveness. Monica accidentally gets ice in her eye and her doctor turns out to be Richard’s son.
Chandler spends the episode in a box. Need we say more?!

5. The One With Unagi
Season 6, Episode 17
Rachel and Phoebe take self-defense classes. Chandler and Monica agree to give each other homemade presents for Valentine’s Day. Joey tries to get money through medical research.
We can’t decide what’s better: a surprise audio cameo from Janice, or Ross trying to teach Phoebe and Rachel the art of karaté. Ahhh… Unagi.

6. The One With The Cop
Season 5, Episode 16
Joey has a dream about Monica and becomes convinced he is in love with her. Meanwhile, Phoebe finds a police badge in Central Perk, and Ross tries to get his new sofa into his apartment.
We’ve all been Ross trying to PIVOT a couch up the stairs.

7. The One With Ross’ Wedding: Part Two
Season 4, Episode 24
Phoebe tries to warn the gang that Rachel is coming to London to tell Ross she still loves him. Ross and Emily’s parents get into an argument over the bill for the wedding.
HE SAID RACHEL!!!

8. The One After The Superbowl Part One And Two
Season 2, Episodes 12 and 13
The gang follow Ross to California while he tries to visit Marcel, who is now working in commercials. Whilst there Chandler runs into a former class mate and the girls only have eyes for human star Jean-Claude Van Damme.
OK this is a two-parter, but this pinpoints the exact moment in time that Friends proved it was a bona fide hit. What other show could get Julia Roberts, Chris Isaak, Brook Shields and Jean-Claude Van Damme in the same episode(s) at the height of their fame?

9. The One with the Jam
Season 3, Episode 3
Monica tries to get over Richard by using her free time to make jam and considers artificial insemination through a sperm bank. Phoebe is stalked by a man who mistakes her for Ursula.
The one where Phoebe gets recognised as her porn-famous twin sister, Ursula. Anyone know where we can get a copy of Buffay: The Vampire Layer? Seriously.

10. The One with Two Part: Part One
Season 1, Episode 16
Phoebe feels neglected when Joey falls for her twin sister. Chandler struggles to fire an attractive co-worker. Ross attends Lamaze classes with Carol and Susan.
Early on in the show’s run, this episode proved nothing was too outrageous by having Lisa Kudrow play Phoebe’s “evil” twin sister, Ursula. Later on we’d also see David Schwimmer transform into Rachel’s new dope of a boyfriend, Russ.
