Could I be any more obsessed with Friends?
I was just four when I first stumbled across Friendsâand here I am, years later, still quoting Rossâs divorces like theyâre family stories. From marathon binges to themed merch, this show isnât just a sitcom. Itâs a full-blown lifestyle.
Calendars? Got âem. Board games? Played âem. Catchphrases? Donât even get us started.
The one with all the quotes
There are shows with great dialogue⊠and then thereâs Friends. These arenât just quotesâtheyâre shared memories, social media captions, and inside jokes that never get old.
We’ve compiled a list of some of the world’s most iconic, hilarious, and oddly profound lines that people have liked, shared, and probably tattooed.

[INT. CENTRAL PERK â COUCH]
Rachel: See? Unisex.
Joey: Maybe you need sex. I just had it a few days ago.
Rachel: No, Joey. U-N-I-sex.
Joey: I wouldnât say no to that.
Peak Joey. Zero filter. Maximum charm.
[INT. ROSS’S FLASHBACK CORNER]
Ross: First divorce: wife’s hidden sexualityânot my fault.
During my second divorce, I mistakenly mentioned an incorrect name at the altar, which was partially my responsibility.
Third divorce: I was drunk and had stuff drawn on my faceâNevadaâs fault.
Honestly, someone give this man a loyalty card for heartbreak.
[INT. BABY NAME BATTLE ROYALE]
Rachel: Curie.
Ross: Veto.
Rachel: Rain.
Ross: Veto.
Phoebe: Is it just me, or is Vito starting to sound good?
Somewhere, a baby named Vito just became iconic.

[INT. MONICA & CHANDLER’S APARTMENT]
Rachel: I donât want my babyâs first words to be âHow you doinâ?â
Joey: [silent but proud]
Admit it, youâve said, âHow are you doing?â in the mirror at least once.
[INT. COFFEEHOUSE CHAOS]
Phoebe: Iâm going to get a coffee. Anyone want anything?
Ross: A blueberry muffin and a decaf.
Monica: Latte.
Chandler: Bagel with a littleâ
Phoebe: I was just being polite.
Classic Phoebe. Is there a coffee run?
[INT. JANICE STRIKES AGAIN]
Janice: What a small world!
Chandler: And yet I never run into Beyoncé.
Honestly, where is our Beyoncé moment?
[INT. JOEY’S DIY DISASTER]
Joey: Oh, Iâm sorry. Did I hit you?
Chandler: Itâs an electric drill! You get me; you kill me!
Safety tip: never give Joey power tools. Ever.

[INT. SCOTTISH FAMILY BAGPIPE DRAMA]
Monica: Why must your family be Scottish?
Chandler: Why must your family be Ross?
Bagpipes: the true test of love and patience.
[INT. UTERUS TALK]
Ross: Most women donât even feel them!
Rachel: No uterus, no opinion.
Mic. Drop.
[INT. PROM NIGHT FLASHBACK]
Phoebe: No. Uh-uh. No way. That’s definitely not going to happen.
Chandler: Whoaâprom night flashback!
Prom nights, regrets, and Chandlerâs snark. Some things never change.
