My favorites are that some of the best scenes were bloopers that they decided to leave in and/or incorporate as plot points. You’ll have to read to find out which. What are my favorite episodes? The Thanksgiving ones. I watch a couple of those every year while waiting to eat turkey, and I force my family to join me. In doing so, I have turned them into fans. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/f5/6df583d7-3da2-455c-b104-e0c5ab8c796a/content/images/2025/02/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f079bc77e-a42f-4f6b-8307-419afe6f3dfd_1440x1760-jpeg.jpg) The troll is the Geller Cup.

[38 “Friends” Facts That You’ve Definitely Never Heard](https://www.buzzfeed.com/allisonwild/stop-the-qtip-when-theres-resistance) My favorites? Rachel and Chandler. I relate to them the most–I am goofy and awkward and yet introverted like Chandler. I am (a little) pampered like Rachel, and also had to work pretty bad jobs after college–Boston University grad school to…Waldenbooks.
