Top 20 Hilarious Friends Running Gags

oh ross when you make out the cards be sure to make it out to emily welcome to ms mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 hilarious friends running gags where do i know you from dr drake ramore days of our lives voted most dateable neurosurgeon by team [Applause] bee hey man hey no i know for this list we'll be going over the funniest running jokes from the sitcom friends if there are any gags that couldn't be any more absent from our list please let us know in the comments number 20 chandler's dance i'm telling you you're gonna be dancing at my wedding before you're dancing at theirs you know i don't dance at weddings because weddings are a great place to meet women and when i dance i look like this chandler is hopeless and awkward and desperate for love we all know this part of that awkwardness is in how he moves while generally uncoordinated at things like sports chandler is perhaps even less smooth at dancing his signature moves generally involve thrusting his arms out and gyrating his hips in a decidedly unrhythmic way i'd be going like this [Applause] is it good dancing not even a little bit what's your point but it's certainly memorable and makes for a funny gag to watch and maybe reenact in our rooms when no one else can see us oh like you haven't tried it and the world will never know number 19. dr drake ramore so and so you are now looking at dr drake remore neurosurgeon recovering in at least four episodes joey gets a lot of terrible acting gigs throughout the show but one of his few consistent ones is on the soap opera days of our lives on the show he plays neurosurgeon dr drake ramore your sister is suffering from a a subcranial hematoma seeing the ever goofy joey have to act over dramatically on tv is always entertaining as are the numerous ridiculous storylines he's involved in on the version of the show within the show these include falling down an elevator shaft and getting a brain transplant what's the matter dina don't you recognize your own mother however the character also bleeds into joey's real life too since he has to act in character for other reasons like dealing with an obsessive fan in reality that operation takes like over 10 hours but they only showed it for two minutes no one when it comes to making us laugh dr drake ramore is always on call number 18 monica's competitiveness so maybe they could um call the award the monika absolutely okay monica has a number of quirks that make for great running gags the first of these is how competitive she is you'd be in competition with yourself that's my favorite kind whenever the gang plays a game or engages in a contest monica always goes overboard compared to everyone else look you knew this about me when you married me you agreed to take me in sickness and in health well this is my sickness what about the obsessive cleaning that's just good sense well except for maybe ross whether it's playing a friendly game of football a trivia contest or just tossing a ball around for fun monica never fails to get into the spirit of competition given her relationship with ross and her parents it's hardly surprising that she has this personality trait but more on her family soon there's always us left on the field holding the ball i don't know guess the other people just don't care enough number 17 chandler's other side first time i met chandler i thought he was gay but here i am singing on his wedding day chandler finds himself in plenty of awkward situations throughout the show but one of the most frequent is the fact that he's mistaken for being gay do you want a date saturday yes please okay he is cute he's funny he's a he well yeah oh god i just i feel like whether it's his co-workers trying to set him up with another guy or his own friends believing it upon first meeting him chandler just gives off a vibe according to them chandler just has this quality okay i don't know you just you have equality yes right oh oh of quality good because i was worried you guys were gonna be vague about this his seemingly more feminine moments such as when he got that hypnosis tape certainly don't do anything to dissuade this impression chandler chandler bang i'm not gay i'm not gay at all you are married though don't listen to him he's in a really bad mood as much as chandler gets teased for this though his friends also have their share of moments like that too number 16 ross is the favorite you don't see ross getting all chaotic and twirly every time they come that's because as far as my parents are concerned ross can do no wrong you see he's the prince apparently they had some big ceremony before i was born although ross's life can feel like one train wreck after another during the show he still manages to somehow remain his parents favorite child over monica their mother judy especially tends to make cutting remarks about monica even seeming to forget she has a daughter sometimes actually no even if i had died you would not be left childless monika as frustrating as it can be for monica herself it makes for a lot of funny comedy throughout the show we know how expensive weddings can be besides this may be the only wedding we got to throw a joke that's funny in all countries and all their favoritism towards ross makes those rare moments when they are disappointed in him and proud of monica that much funnier and rewarding grass drugs divorced again what happened son i i uh i got tricked into all those things number 15 the fist banging gesture oh what is the word for an adult who doesn't have dinosaur toys in their bedroom although the gang may be adults still making their way in the world they're also frequently childish one of the more immature things originates with roz according to monica her brother invented this gesture involving bumping his two fists together twice instead of giving her the finger in front of their parents in the hopes that they wouldn't be able to catch on i remember i cried the night you made that up this is the first time i realized i was cooler than my big brother well i'm gonna go get ready while she initially found the whole thing desperately uncool she and most of the rest of the gang adopt the gesture to express its sentiments at each other and others throughout the show at least i made 10 bucks in my relationship [Applause] plenty of friends fans have also probably gotten a lot of mileage out of it in real life too oh i know um is it because he's always correcting people's grammar who sometimes it's who yeah sometimes it's number 14 joey and food uh food no sex food sex food i don't know oh god i want both i want i want girls on bread joey in case you didn't know loves food that's a great story can i eat it while he's no foodie mr tribiani knows his way around a plate of edibles were six possessing a passion for sandwiches and other popular fare joey's appetite knows few bounds or volume restrictions he's not very picky about what he eats either he even likes the trifle made with beef that rachel infamously made i like it are you kidding what's not to like custard good jam good meat good joey also brings eating to locations you don't normally see people take food like the shower just don't ask him to share because the man refuses to do it joey doesn't share food number 13. i know oh my god monica i know all of the friends have little catchphrases we could have talked about while rachel's particular way of saying no was tempting our pick for this one goes to the way monica says i know oh monica it's so beautiful i know monica tends to go all in on everything as we've discussed already and that includes conversations this is where your hyper-organized pain-in-the-ass stuff pays off i know if she's right and she knows it she tends to belt out and i know with emphasis on the no at varying decibels to reiterate her point okay one more time chandler would you like some more orange juice perfect decibel i know her friends have also picked up on this tendency and imitate her occasionally i know also it's among the most easily quotable catchphrases in the show i mean it's the end of an arrow i know number 12 phoebe's rough life i remember when i first came to this city i was 14. my mom had just killed herself and my stepdad was back in prison and i got here and i didn't know anybody and i ended up living with this albino guy who was like cleaning windshields outside port authority and then he killed himself for how chipper and quirky she is phoebe buffet has led one of the most difficult and strange lives out of anyone on the show but nothing that sad has ever really happened to me well um how about your mom dying or having to live on the streets when you were 14. uh-huh oh yeah i could write about the time i heard it that woohoo thing she lost her parents at a young age and had to live on the street turning to petty crimes and robbery to survive while meeting plenty of unusual people and even mugging ross while this probably sounds more tragic than funny on paper the contrast between phoebe's upbeat demeanor and her often colorful history makes every one of these jokes land particularly for fans of dark humor oh i lost my mom to suicide okay no way you cannot use that to get the cute guy and the last blueberry muffin did i use that already today i'm sorry number eleven gunther loves rachel and hates ross thanks gunther hi um can i get a napkin too oh like you don't already have everything gunther is the platinum blonde-haired employee at central perk and it's most frequently seen employee who isn't part of the main cast he's also desperately in love with rachel however his feelings are unrequited and most of the time he just reveals hints of how he feels to other people or through inner monologues say rachel i was wondering if you'd like to go to a movie with me sometime as my lover too out there well that and being willing to do anything for her gunther's feelings also mean that he's incredibly jealous of and furious at ross throughout ross's on-again off-again relationship with rachel thanks for not marrying rachel gunther may not get a lot of screen time but it's thanks to this running gag and his other funny moment that he's a very memorable part of the show i just have to tell you i love you [Laughter] number 10 phalanges hi ken adams nice to meet you regina philangi phoebe has some ridiculous quotes but one of her most entertaining and often subtly snuck into scenes was this little number over the course of the series whether it was pretending to be a businesswoman to win over joey's hand twin my name is regina philangi i'm a businesswoman in town on business helping chandler with his job interview skills hi come on in i'm regina phalange or covering for joey's inability to speak french phoebe's alter ego was always a welcome addition to an episode i am regine filange i i was passing by when i heard this man speaking the the regional dialect of my french town of estee lauder the crowning moment came when it delayed a flight what's wrong with the plane there's nothing wrong with the plane the left phalange there's no phalanges oh my god this plane doesn't even have a phalange by ingeniously incorporating the word in a way only she could phoebe in essence manage to use phalanges to save ross and rachel's relationship way to go regina number nine could i be could i be more sorry chandler bing is well known for his use of sass sarcasm and dry wit could we be more white trash as a result he's managed to let loose a few zingers over the years but our favorite moments have to be when he asks rhetorical questions and emphasizes his sentences in a way that's singularly his my scone my scone okay i don't sound like that that is so not true often used when put in hilariously unfortunate situations chandler's overuse of kicking himself while he's down is made all the funnier with how he emphasizes the word be come on she's a person you can do it please could she be more out of my league obviously the others must have noticed because it's not long before they're imitating and mocking his catchphrase look at me i'm chandler could i be wearing any more clothes number eight monica's perfectionism monica categorizes her towels how many categories are there okay everyday use fancy guest fancy guest two seconds uh 11. monica geller is a lot of things sister friend chef and a bit of a control freak i mean i have won awards for my organizational skills but uh i'm sure you'll do fine you've won awards i printed them out on my computer whether it's noticing crummies or loki throwing a fit when someone decides to move the ottoman she has a track record for making others live in her and span world thank god you didn't try to fan out the magazines i mean she'll scratch your eyes right out but her need to have everything just so extends way past the confines of her own home he told me about your apartment and um well i i couldn't sleep thinking about it so uh would it be okay if i cleaned it despite her desire for perfection over the years monica has had to learn to roll with the punches or else she'd go a bit crazy i know i have this weird thing where i want everything to be in the perfect place but i would never expect you to worry about that really but hey even the most perfect people have a few skeletons in their closet or you know just a really messy secret closet you're messy no you weren't supposed to see this number seven janice janice oh my god [Applause] hey it's granite no other cameo strikes dread into the hearts of our favorite new yorkers more than the high-pitched shrill of one janice littmann growling hosenstein no one here even knows you oh my god for the longest time she was the one woman that pined for the love of chandler bing more than any other in her own shrieking kind of way whenever she would appear on screen we knew the trouble wasn't far away you know who you said nails like that oh my god even after she had seemingly abandoned her crusade to make chandler hers she would still randomly pop up in later seasons more often than not at the worst possible time do we still love her just like we can't help but also love her catchphrase oh my god yes we do absolutely what a small world and yet i never run into beyonce number six chandler's job all right kids i gotta get to work if i don't input those numbers it doesn't make much of a difference granted it may not be the flashiest of jobs but chandler's career in the statistical analysis and data reconfiguration business has still made for a great running gag mainly due to no one ever remembering what he actually does for a living it's kind of a big deal too it's a lot more money and i'd be doing data reconfiguration and statistical factoring wait i think i know someone who does that me i do that while you'd think the joke would become stale after a while this perpetual amnesia has actually worked itself into some brilliant moments over the series run this has something to do with numbers and processing well and it carries a briefcase ten seconds you need this or you lose the game it has something to do with transponding oh oh is insurance monster case in point when it won chandler and joey an apartment [Applause] don't feel too bad there chandler monica caught on eventually no i want you to have a job that you love not statistical analysis and data reconfiguration i quit and you learn what i do number five ross's divorces i love marriage seriously you divorceo if you have to call me a name i prefer ross the divorcer it's just cooler it's fair to say that when it comes to love ross geller is a walking disaster in total he's been married and divorced three times and each was rather brutal oh i guess we'd just find a divorce lawyer well i think i think ross already has one ever since his first wife carol turned out to be a lesbian his love life has kinda not gone so well while exchanging vows with his second bride emily he accidentally said rachel's name out loud take thee rachel resulting in a very messy breakup then there was that little fiasco in vegas where a very drunk ross and rachel tied the knot while we sort of feel sorry for him we have to admit that ross's string of bad relationships has made for great tv i heard the weddings are like a 40 billion a year industry yeah and i'm responsible for just like half of that number four smelly cat and other songs [Music] aside from the occasional burst of wackiness phoebe buffet's most famous trait is her music new york city has no power and the milk is getting sour well we say music it's more like a medley of tracks that confuse and disorientate latherance repeat heat and latherance repeat and latherance repeat as needed the damn are they entertaining and please tell joey her most iconic piece would be that of smelly cat a song that frequently comes up during phoebe's performances at central perk and it's as nonsensical as you'd expect [Music] over the years actual musicians have tried their hands at it it's become a jingle order in the litter box and it even got its own music video [Music] if you ever wondered how pheebs conjured up such an infectious melody well she may have been a little inspired by her dad a sleepy girl sleepy girl why won't you go to sleep number three monica and rachel's naked neighbor ugly naked guy got a thigh master just who is this mysterious figure that lives across from the apartment we have no idea all we know is that he doesn't particularly care for clothing oh look ugly naked guy lit a bunch of candles in essence he's like the unofficial seventh member of the group the gang observed some of the so-called ugly naked guy's exciting antics from the holiday appropriate oh my god you should see the size of his christmas balls to the positively wacky ugly naked guy got gravity boots the closest we ever come to meeting him is when they all think he's dead and when ross tries to snag his apartment for himself i'm sorry i i can't help but notice that you're naked but it is sure nice to know that there's an ugly naked gal in his life all right ugly naked guy oh ugly naked dancing number two how you doing oh well what i do is uh i look a woman up and down and i say hey how you doing joey trebiani before all else is a ladies man oh sure he cares about his friends his acting career and stuffing his face with as much food as possible how you doing but there's nothing that catches his attention more than a pretty girl joey's got a fair amount of moves in his dating arsenal but this catchphrase sets hearts aflame and leaves us in stitches more than anything else whenever a potential romantic encounter crosses his path joey will utter these three immortal words what's up joey how you doing have they ever failed him you be the judge how you doing i'm okay what before we

rachel's breakup and the emotional fallout that subsequently followed was one of the most heartbreaking moments in the entire show and paved the way for one of the most iconic will they won't they tv relationships of all time it also spawned this hilarious catchphrase which even the most casual friends fan knows we were on a break oh my god if you say that one more time i'm gonna break up with you ross has a tendency to either say the wrong thing or to say it at the wrong time and you knew he was digging himself a hole whenever he decided to use this as an argument ross just let sleeping dogs
