David Schwimmer melts into the ground
My favorite second is a few traditional David Schwimmer bodily comedy. It’s within the episode when Ross and Elizabeth go for a weekend to Elizabeth’s Dad’s nation home, however Elizabeth’s Dad additionally occurs to have gone for a weekend away with Rachel. Cue a superb farce, whereby Ross makes an attempt to cover. At one level, Ross is standing behind the door within the bed room when Elizabeth’s Dad enters – and Ross virtually melts to the ground and slides beneath the mattress. I don’t assume every other actor might have captured the transfer so completely. Sarah Birkett, 48, Leeds
Monica and Chandler get engaged
Regardless of the predictable build-up (will he gained’t he, will she gained’t she, will he lose the ring?) the Monica-Chandler double proposal nonetheless managed to pack an emotional punch by feeling like a really actual, blubbery, messy means you would possibly ask your very dearest to marry you. I additionally love that they each get on bended knee. Fiona, 53, Auckland, New Zealand
Ross can’t take off his leather-based pants
When Ross simply can’t take off his leather-based pants regardless of the varied foolish strategies he makes use of. As his desperation grows, so does the hilarity. I laughed till I cried. Each time I wish to purchase some leather-based pants, I cease myself in solidarity with Ross. Vilija, 48, Brussels
Jennifer Aniston can’t management her laughter
In The One With Joey’s New Mind, Ross learns to play the bagpipes as a present for Monica and Chandler’s wedding ceremony. He reveals them, Phoebe and Rachel his progress by performing Celebration, and invitations them to sing alongside. Phoebe begins screeching. You possibly can see Rachel laughing behind her. Solely it’s not simply Rachel, it’s clearly Jennifer Aniston not with the ability to management her laughter. Nameless, Spain
Phoebe’s joyful ending
The One With Phoebe’s Marriage ceremony – the snow, the costume and Phoebe strolling down the aisle to her pal Marjorie enjoying Right here, There and All over the place by The Beatles on metal drums. It’s an actual fairytale second outdoors Central Perk and Phoebe will get her joyful ending. I should have watched this episode over 100 instances and I nonetheless properly up each time. Holly Harris, 29, London
Joey spells out ‘pleh’ with twigs
I’ve watched Mates on loop not less than 20 instances and it’s essentially the most comforting and reassuring present. It’s obtained me via some actually powerful instances. Although I do know the scripts inside out, I nonetheless snigger anticipating sure traces. A favorite scene of mine is in season three when all the chums (besides Ross) attempt to go on a ski journey however get stranded when the automobile breaks down. So Joey spells out “pleh” in twigs – being “assist” backwards, in order that it may be learn by a helicopter. It cracks me up each single time. Jane Duffus, 46, Bristol

‘Individuals want juice!’
Rachel is on a date with Mark and Chandler is having to restrain Ross to cease him going over to her residence. Ross says he’ll use the excuse of asking for juice, wailing unconvincingly: “Individuals want juice!” What a terrific line. Roger Marsh, 75, France
Ross says the flawed title at his wedding ceremony
My absolute favorite was the Ross and Emily wedding ceremony scene the place Ross mentioned Rachel’s title whereas reciting his vows. I bear in mind watching that in actual time when it first aired and being so shocked. Keren Metz, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
‘I want I might … however I don’t wish to’
Fairly a particular one, nevertheless it’s from season one, episode one, The One The place Monica Will get a Roommate, when Joey and Chandler assist Ross along with his new furnishings in his new residence they usually ask Phoebe if she desires to assist. Her reply, “Oh, I want I might however I don’t wish to,” is such a traditional line that I’ve a meme of it on my cellphone’s digicam roll. Amanda Amory, London
Joey makes a moo level
Joey: “It’s like a cow’s opinion, it doesn’t matter. It’s moo.” All of us have a phrase we utterly misunderstood however match to the context. Joey’s misunderstanding of the phrase “moot” sends me into giggles each time somebody says it. As a litigator, it brightens my day recurrently. Megan, 39, Australia
Rachel will get off the airplane
My favorite second is when Rachel surprises Ross with “I obtained off the airplane”. It brings us proper round to the need they gained’t they from the very first episode. Then Ross lightens it along with his “on a break” joke. Good. My older sister was the largest Mates fan who knew each phrase. She died aged 55 this June. We watch it time and again and consider her. A sluggish model of the theme tune was even performed at her funeral. Fiona, 53, Swansea
