The One where Ross is Fine is just awful. Aside from Geller acting like a complete meff throughout, the notion that he essentially nicked Charlie from Joey, means he has no real reason to feel fine about accepting Joey and Rachel as an item anyway.
What is also a gripe is the habit in later seasons of jokes focusing on Ross as a serial divorcer/proposer. He only proposed twice one assumes since the drunk Vegas thing was spur of the moment, so hardly a big deal really. |

Not sure of the episode name, but the one where Ross moves into Ugly Naked Guy's old apartment bugs me, this is the one where one of his neighbours is Stanford Blatch from Sex and the City.
Surely it is totally unreasonable for Ross to be expected to contribute $100 for a retiring handyman that he has never met? Again, I know it's only used as a tool for humour, but surely there are numerous more reasonable reasons for the neighbours to ostracise Ross. |

What bugged me what when they came back for Series 9, Rachel was really skinny again, even though she'd just had Emma.

Another one I was thinking of is the one where the valve breaks on the radiator in Monica's apartment and they have a beach themed party as it is so hot (even though it's Christmas time).
In the end Joey simply turns of the radiator underneath when he arrives at the apartment, but surely the 'super' Mr. Treeger who was at the party would have thought to do this? |

Seeing their lives in detail we the viewer understand its not as bad as it seems, but some random girl who finds out? not going to be interested. |

Just found this thread. I know you're all mentioning Friends gripes, but I can't seem to find another Friends thread. My favourite character is Ross. I do love them all for different reasons, but I think I've laughed the most at Ross over the years. Such a great character.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Estelle is Joey's agent and also a nurse in one of the earlier episodes. Also, the actress playing Susan changes!

Not sure if this has already been mentioned (I've searched the thread, but I might have missed it):
After Ross & Emily's failed wedding, Rachel goes on 'honeymoon' to Greece. How on earth did she manage to fly on a ticket which was presumably in the name of Emily Waltham/Geller, with a passport which says Rachel Green? I know that airport security pre-9/11 was a little more lax, but not to that extent! |

One moment that really bugs me is when Monica is trying to help Chandler keep fit in her usually over-enthusiastic way. But because Chandler is feeling lazy he basically rips apart Monica's whole life and tells her why she should be depressed. Not much of a friend really, he does it for purely selfish reasons and feels delighted when he's done it. I always feel irritated at the end of that episode.

And it wasn't the actress playing Susan that changed ... You're probably thinking of the actress playing Carol which did change after one episode. |

That nobody agrees with Ross that Phoebe keeping someone else's cat and saying it's her mother is wrong. Why should he apologise for being right?
I know it's only a comedy but it irritates me.

Does anyone else think that Joey was slightly out of order for kissing Charlie at his rooftop party?
I mean, if your best friend brings what essentially looks like a date to your party, you'd at least check with them first, wouldn't you? He nearly did the same thing with Mona as well. |

During Monica and Chandler's wedding reception, when Ross swaps his table place with a child, why did that not get sorted? Why did no one notice a child sitting in the best man's place? Quote:

Once to the gay ice dancer, then in the Vegas episodes we find out she go it married in Vegas a long time ago, then to Mike. |

I was just watching the episode in series 2 where Rachel is a bridesmaid at Barry and Mindy's wedding and wears that awful pink dress, why were Monica and Richard invited? Monica didn't even know Barry and Mindy!

I just watched the one with all the jealousy. If the guy holding the dance auditions knew the dance himself, why would he need Joey to teach them the dance later on?

I assumed basically he didn't have the time to do it because it wasn't his job.
