Could I be any more obsessed with Friends?
I was just four when I first stumbled across Friends—and here I am, years later, still quoting Ross’s divorces like they’re family stories. From marathon binges to themed merch, this show isn’t just a sitcom. It’s a full-blown lifestyle.
Calendars? Got ‘em. Board games? Played ‘em. Catchphrases? Don’t even get us started.
The one with all the quotes
There are shows with great dialogue… and then there’s Friends. These aren’t just quotes—they’re 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 – 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 wouldn’t say no to that.
Peak Joey. Zero filter. Maximum charm.
[INT. ROSS’S FLASHBACK CORNER]
Ross: First divorce: wife’s hidden sexuality—not 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 face—Nevada’s 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 don’t want my baby’s first words to be “How you doin’?”
Joey: [silent but proud]
Admit it, you’ve said, “How are you doing?” in the mirror at least once.
[INT. COFFEEHOUSE CHAOS]
Phoebe: I’m going to get a coffee. Anyone want anything?
Ross: A blueberry muffin and a decaf.
Monica: Latte.
Chandler: Bagel with a little—
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, I’m sorry. Did I hit you?
Chandler: It’s 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 don’t 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: Whoa—prom night flashback!
Prom nights, regrets, and Chandler’s snark. Some things never change.
