Friends on Netflix & a Streaming Giveaway

What better way to start off the new year, than to binge watch all 10 seasons of Friends on Netflix! Friends is my all-time favorite sitcom and I cannot adequately express how excited I am about this! (I know, I know, that's how sad my life is.) My older teens and I are loving every episode. It's great because now they "get it" when I say random things like:


How you doin'?
It's a moo point.
Big, fat goalie!
Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding  you?
It's a Goldfish cracker!
Unagi
We're fashioning a very long poking device.

So, in the spirit of all things Friends, here's a site with dozens of Friends quizzes. Have you seen every episode? Do you know everything there is to know about Friends? Can you quote the friends with the best of them? Test your knowledge here.

I am not sure I could pick one favorite. the whole Ross and Rachel saga maybe! "SHE WAS BALD" lol....we own the entire series and I still watch it on tv as well. Even my kids quote it! LOVE THAT SHOW! We love our netflix account too, so this would be well used in our house! Thank you!

Jessi said...

Its like a cows opinion, its moo.
Have I been living with joey to long or did that actually make sense?

Hands down most favorite scene.

Unknown said...

Love the episode when Rachael delivered her baby. It reminded me so much of my first born's delivery.

Tracy J-Flores said...

My favorite episode is "The One With Ross' Sandwich" It cracks me up only because of how upset get got. Because really, when someone else eats my food from the fridge, I always think of the quote, "My sandwich? YOU ATE...MY... SANDWICH???!!!"

Anonymous said...

My Favorite is where Phoebe gets stuck in her sweater! She puts her head in the arm and says, "Monica, I'm scared"!
Oh, and my favorite episode is "the one with the embryos" Where they play the game and the girls lose the apartment!!

AndiWrite said...

I can't pick just one favorite either, but I crack up every time I think of Ross saying, "I, too, am a NEAT GUY." Bruce Willis was hilarious in that story arc!

Anonymous said...

So many to choose from! All of them! But the absolute favorite (I think) had to be when Ross and Rachel first kissed. A close second would be the Monica and Chandler proposal. Either of those episodes still gets me teary eyed and have probably seen them thousands of times. My 18 and 12 year old love friends as well and like you are finally understanding some of my sayings.

Anissa said...

I laughed the hardest at Phoebe's chicken pox episode.

Chris Sheely said...

My favorite line, one of many, is when Joey walks in wearing ALL of Chandler's clothes and then announces "I'm goin'commando!"

Reader Melly said...

I love the episode where Phoebe had a cold and was singin with her new "sexy" voice.

Jana, jrags@cox.net said...

I like the episode "The One Where Everybody Finds Out."
"What? No. What - what are you doing? GET OFF MY SISTER."

Laura B said...

The one where everyone funds out about Monica and Chandler.

They don't know that we know they know! And Joey you can't tell them. Couldn't if I wanted to.

Christina said...

The episode where Ross buys a sofa and Ross, Chandler and Rachel are carrying the sofa up the stairs. Ross yells PIVOT, PIVOT, PIVOT and Chandler yells back SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!! I love that episode.

My favorite episode is the last one where Ross says "let her off the plane" and Rachel comes through the door and says "I got off the plane." Love that they finally brought them back together!

I love when phoebe shares her grandmothers chocolate chip cookie recipe! Every time I maje toll house cookies, I think of that!

My favorite Friends moment is when right after Courtney Cox married David Arquette, they put Arquette after everyone's name in the credits. Jennifer Aniston Arquette, Lisa Kudrow Arquette etc. So cute, it made me think that they were all really good friends in real life!

Dianne P said...

Well, I certainly need to win this because I HAVE NEVER WATCHED FRIENDS. I am a little older than most of you but I do enjoy good shows. Don't know how I missed Friends. So, maybe I will win so I can catch up and catch on.

Amy Wilch said...

No way to pick just one! LOVE the episode when they are playing poker (season 1) and Ross comes out of the bathroom and says "your money's mine, Green" and Rachel says "your fly's open, Geller." Cracks me up every. time. My favorite is Chandler! Could his sarcasm BE and better? =)

My favorite episode is the one where Ross tries to be hip by wearing leather pants. "They're not coming off, man!!" Hilarious!!
~Sara (smeyer06@yahoo.com)

Ashley said...

The leather pants! When Joey tells Ross over the phone
" if the paste matches the pants, you've got yourself a pair of leather paste pants.. She'll never know the difference "

Unknown said...

I love the episode when Phoebe gives birth to her brother's children--among others!

Nathan said...

My favorite Friends moment is when Joey comes over for Thanksgiving wearing Rachel's maternity pants and announces "these are my Turkey eating pants". Having had 4 kids that's all I can think about when I see maternity pants with the big stretchy panel in the front.

lil_lady_dz said...

My favorite character is Phoebe Buffay and I love her "Smelly Cat" song on the show.

I really loved the scene when Monica was dancing around with the raw turkey (BLECH!) on her head, and Chandler tells her that he loves her for the first time. I always giggle just picturing that in my head!!!

Erika P. said...

I loved when Phoebe tells Ross come on dig a little deeper, you're a paleontologist.

Addie said...

Yup, turkey on Monica's head while she is dancing all around. How can you not smile at that.

Kristin of course said...

What's not to like? Custard? Good. Jam? Good. Meat? Goooooood.

Chris, Eddie's mom said...

One of my sisters LOVES Friends--almost as much as she loves Seinfeld, I think. Anyway, she was telling me a horrible story about her FIL and his refusal to wear underwear.

Immediately I thought of Friends and the episode where Phoebe's boyfriend is wearing shorts sans undies.

She and I had to hang up the phone because were were hysterical and couldn't finish a word.

And I love Chandler.

Erin's Mom said...

Hmm there are so many good ones. Probably Joey with the Trifle.

Kelly Hockaday said...

I LOVE Friends. And my 15 and 17 year old daughters watch them every night, too! I always get a laugh out of Ross' teeth whitening episode.

Jodi said...

When I think of Friends, the Smelly Cat song always jumps into my head and then I have to start singing it. My daughter is currently working her way through the show on Netflix but hasn't gotten there yet, and thinks I am crazy. Just wait sweet girl, just wait.

Because I live in Nevada....
"First divorce: wife's hidden sexuality, not my fault. Second divorce: said the wrong name at the altar, kind of my fault. Third divorce: they shouldn't let you get married when you're that drunk and have stuff drawn all over your face, Nevada's fault." - -Ross
in The One Where Ross Hugs Rachel

Unknown said...

My all time favorite quote would have to be, "Marcel, did you poo in the shoe?!" We said this a million times while housebreaking our puppy and the kids just looked at like we had six heads! I died laughing, every time! It would be great to introduce them to this show!

Unknown said...

I loved so many!! The one where Monica is sick --- The One with Brad Pitt -- The toll house cookie one -- and the one where Ross plays the bagpipes!!!!

Beth Basilio said...

When Phoebe married Mike. She is getting married outside during winter. She takes off her coat to show off her dress. Chandler tells her she looks beautiful and asks her if she will be cold and she smiles and says "I don't care. I'll be my something blue." It was a great mix of sweet and funny, which is what Friends has always been for me.

You already mentioned my favorite - "It's a moo point! It's like a cow's opinion, it doesn't matter." I use that one often. :-)

MAW said...

We were on a break!

Jenn W said...

I would have to say the one with the Jelly fish sting and they had to pee on each other or PIVOT, PIVOT or the fat man that they poked with the really, really long stick or when Ross drew on Rachels face with the perm marker. Okay, I could go on. I don't know!!!!! weibs1@aol.com

Unknown said...

Hiding my head in shame! I've never watched one single friends episode! Hey that should qualify me so I CAN watch all of them!!!

I could never pick a favorite! Love them all. I watched Friends the first time around and enjoy them even more now. My favorite character is Joey. "How you doin'?" "Joey doesn't share food" ��

Mary Anne said...

Smelly cat. Definitely smelly cat. It's not your fault!

Mom First said...

Too many to have ONE favorite!
"How YOU doin'?"
"Paper... Snow... A GHOST!"
"Could I BE wearing any more clothes?!"
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"
I just love this show - best show ever!!

Melissa Kimball said...

My favorite episode has to be the one I went to the taping of...the cheesecake episode!!! I don't exactly remember the details, it was towards the last few seasons. It was by far the best way to spend 8 hours, no joke! They did so many takes with the damn cheesecake that they would send the one from the previous take to the audience and we would pass it around and eat off it!! We were there so long they even bought pizza for the audience and tossed out candy like you're at a parade!! One of my best memories and funnest moments ever!

Anonymous said...

I don't know if I could pick a favorite. My favorite character depends on the episode. I love them all.

The one where Monica and chandler realize they love each other.

To pick just one is kind of hard. I LOVE them all. But I have to say I love it when Rachel starts sing Baby Got Back to her newborn to get her to stop crying.
