There’s no denying that “Friends” is one of the most iconic shows of all time. Not only is “Friends” iconic, but it’s one of the funniest ensembles to be on television. It’s a national phenomenon. Below we rank the top 13 episodes of the series based on our opinion!

Number 13: Season 6, Episode 15/16: “The One That Could Have Been”

Best quote of the episode: Ross: “Phoebe, having a heart attack is nature’s way of telling you to slow down.”

Chandler: “I always thought having a heart attack is nature’s way of telling you to die.”

Why it’s so good: This episode was very unique and interesting; this episode was about how each person’s lives could have turned out if they had chosen different paths. It made us think what life would be like if Rachel married Barry or if Monica was still fat It had us laughing the whole time.

Number 3: Season 7, Episode 23/24: “The One With Monica and Chandler’s Wedding

Best quote of the episode:

Monica: “Chandler, for so long I… I wondered if I would ever find my prince, my soulmate. Then three years ago, at another wedding I turned to a friend for comfort. And instead, I found everything that I’d ever been looking for my whole life. And now… here we are… with our future before us… and I only want to spend it with you, my prince, my soulmate, my friend.”

Chandler: “Monica, I thought this was going to be the most difficult thing I ever had to do. But when I saw you walking down that aisle I realized how simple it was. I love you. Any surprise that comes our way, it’s okay, because I will always love you. You are the person I was meant to spend the rest of my life with.”

Why it’s so good: No explanation needed– It’s Monica and Chandler’s wedding, but we also find out Rachel is pregnant! It’s one of the best episodes that made us so happy, but we were left wondering, who is the father of Rachel’s baby?

Number 2: Season 4, Episode 23/24: “The One With Ross’s Wedding”

Best quote of the episode: “I take thee Rachel.”

Why it’s so good: This episode made it so far on this list because it’s so iconic. Ross says the wrong name at his wedding, and the fact that the name that he said was Rachel made it all the more special, plus it is also the episode when Monica and Chandler first get together! By far one of the best and funniest episodes!
