![]() ![]() This episode has one of the best all-cast scenes at the climax, where everyone shouts out their secrets, concerns and crushes for Jacques Cousteau. Everyone is decked out in their cutest football attire and they all compete to win the Geller Cup. The gang plays a touch football game outside together and it’s full of some classic Geller-sibling rivalry, Chandler and Joey fighting over dating a Dutch woman and Rachel feeling left out. Plus, I now have it memorized to an obscene degree. This was the very first episode of ‘Friends’ I watched, so it holds a truly special place in my heart. It also features a very sentimental interaction between Ross and Rachel and a particularly snarky line from Monica that bump it up for me. Although it’s an odd request, their friendship really shines in this episode. After Chandler kissed Joey’s girlfriend, Joey decides the proper punishment is for Chandler to be silent in a box. This episode is rather kooky, with Monica kissing her ex-boyfriend’s son while wearing an eyepatch and well…Chandler being stuck in a box for the majority of the time. ![]() The One With Chandler in a Box (Season 4) This is arguably the most wholesome Thanksgiving episode, particularly in the ending where all of their plans fall flat and they wind up enjoying grilled cheese together. ![]() This is the first Thanksgiving episode of the series, and while the characters don’t quite know who they are yet, the early vibes of the show really come through here as everyone is very naive and becoming comfortable with one another. "The One Where Underdog Gets Away" (Season 1) But, it is the first time Chandler tells her he loves her, which makes for a sweet end. It’s certainly absurd, with past Monica accidentally cutting off Chandler’s toe after he called her fat and present-day Monica putting a turkey on her head to cheer him up. It mainly focuses on Monica and Chandler’s relationship, even though no one knows they are dating yet. Fake noses, bad wigs and an offensive fat suit all come together in this one. This episode is a major flashback episode, with each character telling the story of their worst Thanksgiving – from 1862 and on. The One With All The Thanksgivings (Season 5) The episode does not age well, but still features some great moments between Ross and Rachel and Joey’s consumption of an entire turkey, many meat sweats and some Thanksgiving pants later. His performance, particularly in his fear of complex carbohydrates and his hatred for Rachel Green, is very entertaining. While the Brangelina drama of the early 2000s is far and gone, Pitt’s appearance during the height of his relationship with Jennifer Aniston is noteworthy. This episode is great for one major reason: Brad Pitt. All the chaos leads to Amy and Rachel having a physical fight, breaking a plate in the process. Ross and Rachel find themselves upsetting their friends when they reveal who will take care of Emma when they die and Monica freaks out about her good china being used for the Thanksgiving meal. ![]() Amy is very overbearing and ignorant the entire episode which gets a little annoying but still makes for some good jokes. This one features Rachel’s sister Amy, played in a likeably-obnoxious way by Christina Applegate. The One With Rachel’s Other Sister (Season 9) However, it still includes some fun moments, including the 50 States Game, which Ross unsurprisingly becomes obsessed over.ħ. This episode overall feels like a standard episode rather than a Thanksgiving one, with an odd reveal of Chandler’s dislike of dogs. This episode revolves around Rachel’s crush on her assistant Tag, and while their relationship is not overly exciting, it does birth Joey’s “moo point” line. The One Where Chandler Doesn’t Like Dogs (Season 7) But, the episode does end with a heartwarming scene as Monica and Chandler receive good news from the adoption agency. This episode just doesn’t feel like a Thanksgiving episode, as the gang spends such little time altogether. But, Ross and Joey go to a hockey game and Rachel and Phoebe go to a baby beauty pageant, arriving almost an hour late to dinner and having to face Monica’s wrath (and her angry vein). While Monica and Chandler initially do not want to host Thanksgiving, the rest of the friends coax them into doing so. While this one is a traditional Thanksgiving episode, it is the last one of the series, and unfortunately, it does not leave a lasting impact. The One With the Late Thanksgiving (Season 10) While it’s a good episode overall, it does not come through with the typical ‘Friends’ Thanksgiving style. This episode more famously features Ross’ embarrassing list he wrote comparing Rachel and Julie. This episode has to be ranked last because it is actually the only season in the series that does not have a designated Thanksgiving episode, other than a brief mention in the subplot where Monica has to make Thanksgiving-themed dishes with a suspicious chocolate brand. ![]()
