The One With The Prom Video

What's not to love about this episode? From Rachel's pre-op nose, to her finding out how long Ross has carried a flame for her (SPOILER ALERT: A LONG TIME), this one is a fan favorite.

2

The One With The Flashback

Before Central Perk was a coffee shop, it was a bar. It's in this iconic flashback episode where the gang meets Joey for the first time, Rachel almost hooks up with Chandler, and Ross learns that his wife Carol is a lesbian.

3

The One With All The Thanksgivings

This flashback episode is frequently voted as the best of the entire series, and it's easy to see why. Comedic misunderstandings, severed toes, Monica dancing with a turkey on her head... this episode has it all.

4

The One That Could Have Been

In this two-part episode, the gang imagines their lives in an alternate universe. Rachel never ran out on Barry, Ross is in an unhappy marriage with Carol, Monica is still overweight, Joey is a successful actor, Chandler writes stories for 'The New Yorker', and Phoebe is a workaholic at Merrill Lynch.

5

The One Where The Stripper Cries

We find out a little more than we bargained for in a flashback: during a college party, Ross unknowingly kisses his own sister Monica - the same night that Chandler kissed Rachel.

6

The One With The Invitation

Ross debates whether to invite Rachel to his wedding to Emily. Rachel, torn by her feelings for Ross, reminisces on their relationship, and decides it would be too painful to attend his wedding.
