It's a little too much for her to handle though, so Monica takes the role, instead. We can't help but wonder how much fun Pheebs would have been…

It's gameshow time for the guys and Joey is rehearsing for a new gig, a gameshow called Bamboozled. Ross is eager to play, Chandler doesn't quite fancy his chances at first, but both become addicted.

Rachel – The One With the Proposal

Rachel is asking her opinion on how long you should wait to make a move on someone – her eye candy is Tag (not the game). To simplify it, Joey makes a point that it's all 'moo'. It doesn't matter about the advice if Tag (you're it) doesn't like her back.
24. "I say more dumb things before 9am than most people say all day!"
Chandler – The One With the Fake Party

Use this when: You're public speaking.
In this moment, Phoebe is a little frustrated with her pregnancy cravings and knocks over a box of cereal. As per, Chandler's quick wit enters the room, calling her a 'cereal killer'. The audience laughed, but Monica didn't quite enjoy the pun. Don't worry Chandler, we thought it was funny.

Chandler – The One Where Ross Finds Out
A quote about: Weekends

Poor Chandler feels a little unattractive and Monica insists on helping him get into shape.

We're siding with Chandler; nobody should sacrifice a Sunday to workout.

Chandler was in Yemen, now he's with Monica. And Janice…well, she decided to have some of Ross. Though, the tables have turned here, and the gang find out about Janice and Ross. It's a fan-favorite moment, any chance to have our Janice on screen! Pity nobody told her Chandler was back. *Crickets*

Ross' sandwich was eaten by his boss at work – a tasty left-over turkey sandwich with the unforgettable moist maker. However, even after labelling his food, it was still taken and chowed down on. Personally, we think Ross' reaction here is valid. Who takes someone else's food? It's a crime!

Use this when: You're piling your plate at a buffet.
We're with Joey on this one. In this episode, we know Joey doesn't share food, but his date isn't aware, until she begins to take some off his plate. How rude! It's not until the end when Ross tries to take a bite from Joey's muffin, reminding him…he doesn't share food! We thought Ross knew better, remember your sandwich?
62. "Cheese: It's milk that you chew."
Chandler – The One Where Rachel Goes Back to Work
A quote about: Cheese
Use this when: Serving cheese on a stick at parties.
A top quote from the show! Monica spent eight hours organizing jobs in alphabetical order for Chandler to apply for. Instantly drawn to advertising, Chandler is convinced he would be great at coming up with slogans, picking up a slice of cheese. This slogan gives us all a chuckle – he's not wrong, is he? We're still waiting for Dairylea to use it.
63. "I grew up with Monica. If you didn't eat fast, you didn't eat."
Ross – The One Where Rachel Tells Ross
A quote about: Eating
Use this when: Cussing your sister.
Ross was a little shocked when he found out Rachel was pregnant, and in an attempt to make it right, he turns up for her first scan. Of course, they begin bickering and his comparison to Rachel unable to eat alone, brings up what could only have been a traumatic experience for him. I'm sure Monica left him the crumbs.
64. "I needed a plan, a plan to get over my man. And what's opposite of man? Jam."
Monica – The One With the Jam
A quote about: Being a foodie
Use this when: You need to make jam and get over your man!
Monica is still feeling the heartbreak after her recent split with Richard. We feel her, and we want Monica to be happy. She decides to make jam and lots of it! Rather than channel her true feelings, she uses food and cooking for comfort to get over an ex. Joey isn't complaining though. Jam good!
65. "You ordered pizza without me?"
Joey – The One With Ross' Wedding
A quote about: Take-out
Use this when: You come home and your partner already ate.
It's Ross' wedding…we've lost count which one. Joey is feeling a little homesick and talks with Phoebe over the phone. She's ordered a pizza and he's a little jealous that it's being ordered without him, rightly so! But don't worry, Phoebe ordered his favorite.

Use this when: The food is too good to stop.
We've all been there. We eat something delicious, and it tastes so good. If we stop when our bellies are full, we might just regret not finishing that one last bit. Chandler knows us well, and in this scene, him and Rachel share a cheesecake which tastes so good, they can't stop eating it.

It's a relaxing day in Central Perk, Joey and Chandler are wasting away, whilst all the gang seem to be doing something, like Ross who's getting married. Everyone is doing stuff! In this scene, Joey is clearly thinking about food and not the bigger picture. We dream about food a lot, too, Jo!

Joey – The One With the Cheap Wedding Dress
A quote about: Food
Use this when: Stealing ice cream from kids.
Weddings are stressful enough, and Monica is planning her big day. She's having a difficult time narrowing down the menu, but who is better than Joey when it comes to the art of food? Nobody. He kindly offers to help and with his experience, we're hoping he'll have a burger van someday.
69. "Well, the fridge broke, so I had to eat everything."
Joey – The One With Joey's Fridge
A quote about: Eating
Use this when: You need to comfort eat.

70. "Here come the meat sweats."
Joey – The One With the Rumor
A quote about: Overeating
Use this when: Indulging a Sunday roast.
It's mayhem in Monica's home, she refused to cook a big turkey, but what is Thanksgiving without it? Joey convinces her to cook one and he promises to eat every last bit. Joey's commitment to food and not going back on his word is hilarious, and we appreciate that he leaves nothing to waste. Use this line as a caption for your food-filled Instagram story.

Rachel – The One With All the Cheesecakes
A quote about: Sweets

Joey – The One Where They're Up All Night
A quote about: Dinner
Use this when: The restaurant dinner didn't fulfil you.

74. "Oh, I'm sorry, did my back hurt your knife?"
Rachel – The One With the Breast Milk
A quote about: Betrayal

Use this when: Your friend gets stung by a nettle plant.
Something went down at the beach that day, and the rest of gang are trying to get it out of Joey, Chandler and Monica. Joey throws us this funny line, but he couldn't go through with it. Well, it's the thought that counts. Are you even friends if your friends don't offer to pee on you?

Rachel and Monica pay Ross a visit to his new job (where he funnily adopts a British accent). Before entering, Rachel spots a few sorority girls, a little reminder of her youthful days. She waves, but they rudely ignore her. A moment of realization for Rachel and how she may have been back then. We do think she's a wonderful woman now, though!

Rachel – The One Where Ross is Fine
A quote about: Girlfriends

Miscellaneous Quotes
80. "You don't have a TV? What's all your furniture pointed at?"
Joey – The One in Barbados
A quote about: TV
Use this when: Checking into your budget hotel room.
Joey is attending an event for Ross' speech and a fan approaches Ross. Joey of course, because he's an actor, assumes they know him, too. Only, they don't own a TV – shocker! Joey throws this funny quote back, which of course is totally relatable. Even Ross owns a TV!
81. Joey: "You didn't cry when Bambi's mom died?"/ Chandler: "Yes, it was so sad when the guy stopped drawing the deer."
Joey & Chandler – The One Where Chandler Can't Cry
A quote about: Crying
Use this when: You are trying to look cool, edgy and emo.
Chandler can't cry, but Monica is determined to get him to cry! After some of the gang watch E.T, Phoebe insists Bambi is sadder. Chandler, with absolutely zero heart and soul, reminds us all why we love his sarcastic sense of humor, throwing in one of his best lines on the show. He's got a point though…
82. "How you doin?"
Joey – First said in: The One With Rachel's Crush
A quote about: Flirting
Use this when: Learning to woo your crush.
Three simple words can really make a gal or guy blush. No, it's not what you think! But Joey knows how to woo the ladies, and his most famous line is surely the way to do it. Rachel is also trying to woo someone herself, and Joey kindly shows her his secret weapon. A popular saying that definitely gets us a little hot under the collar.
83. "Something is wrong with the left phalange."
Phoebe – The Last One, Part One
A quote about: Travelling
Use this when: You need to get out of that vacation.
In the final episode, Part One, we see Rachel sitting on the plane ready to go to Paris. Phoebe tries to convince her by pre-warning that she has a feeling something is wrong with the plane. We know she has a sixth sense about this kind of stuff, so it's a real good job Rachel didn't stay on the plane…Some say they are still looking for the missing phalange.
84. "Unagi"
Ross – The One With Unagi
A quote about: Sushi?
Use this when: You want to scare off people that annoy you.
It's all about girl power when Phoebe and Rachel decide to take up self-defense. Ross, channeling his inner ego, tells them that he learnt 'Unagi'. The girls aren't convinced, and Ross spends his time carefully planning a moment to jump-scare them. It's Ross, it goes wrong, and in this episode, women are the ultimate heroes. Again, Ross is totally fine though.
85. "I can't believe my dad saw us having sex! He didn't make it to one of my piano recitals, but this he sees!"
Monica – The One Where No One Proposes
A quote about: Baby-making
Use this when: You and your partner get caught.
Like most people when trying for a baby, they like to do it in a janitor's cupboard – all that bleach really adds to the romance. But for Monica, her dad just so happens to catch them in the act, a little too non-cholent for our liking. This is a funny but also embarrassing moment for Monica and Chandler – quite frankly, we would have to find a new dad.
86. "Pivot!"
Ross – The One With the Cop
A quote about: Bossing around
Use this when: Slow people are walking in front.
It's exhausting carrying furniture into your new home, especially if you have to haul it upstairs. Ross, with the help of Chandler and Rachel, are helping him move a new sofa after refusing to pay for delivery (he's so frugal). This scene is hilarious and features one of the most iconic catchphrases from the show. We think it's a great way to order someone around!
87. "Look at me! I'm Chandler! Could I BE wearing any more clothes?"
Joey – The One Where No-One's Ready
A quote about: Fashion
Use this when: You're excusing your Christmas tum.
Ross has a super important event, and all he wants is for everyone to get ready and leave on time. Unfortunately, Joey and Chandler are bickering over a seat, and they continue to argue. Joey gets his revenge and puts on every single clothing item of Chandler's. It's funny, iconic and the perfect fancy dress outfit.
88. Ross: "I went to that tanning place your wife suggested." / Chandler: "Was that place the sun?"
Ross & Chandler – The One With Ross' Tan
A quote about: Tanning
Use this when: You're laughing at your dad's hat sunburn.
Like most things, Ross' luck is very small. What a way to make yourself feel better though with a bit of self-love. Unfortunately, he ended up with a really bad tan. He got two eights and it all went wrong. But Chandler's quick wit couldn't help but make us laugh as Ross storms in rather miffed. Do not count in Mississippi's.
89. Janice: "What a small world." / Chandler: "And yet I never run into Beyoncé."
Janice & Chandler – The One Where Estelle Dies
A quote about: Beyonce
Use this when: You keep seeing the wrong person.
Chandler and Monica are having a wonderful time viewing their potential new home. But something loud lurks around the corner…yup it's, Janice and she's viewing the same house. Chandler throws back a line at her, but we can't help but wonder how small the world really is to keep bumping into Janice.
90. "I want world peace. Oh, and bigger boobs!"
Phoebe – The One With George Stephanopoulos
A quote about: Necessities
Use this when: Competing in a beauty pageant.
The gang are sitting in Central Perk sharing what they would do if they were omnipotent (it's a big word). Phoebe takes a turn and of course, she wants all the lovely things for the world, including world peace and adding a boob job to her list. Pheebs! You don't need it; we love you as you are.
91. Cathy: "You have really great hair." / Chandler: "Oh thanks I grow it myself!"
Cathy & Chandler – The One Where Chandler Crosses the Line
A quote about: Hair
Use this when: Visiting the hairdressers.
We must admit, the temptation to be sarcastic to everyone around us grows daily. Chandler is the true king of sarcasm, and in this particular moment when Cathy is about to cut his hair, to slice the tension, he perfectly times it with a little wit. Technically though, we do grow our own hair.
92. "Chandler watches shark porn!"
Monica – The One With the Sharks
A quote about: Urm, hobbies?
Use this when: Trying to embarrass a friend in public.
Monica is a little shocked to find Chandler with his pants down and sharks on the TV. He's too embarrassed to admit it and Monica jumps to conclusions – she thinks he's enjoying shark porn. Props to Monica, though, for offering to thrash around for him and supporting this alleged fantasy.
93. "Isn't that just kick-you-in-the-crotch, spit-on-your-neck fantastic?"
Rachel – The One With Ross' New Girlfriend
A quote about: Excitement
Use this when: You have to pretend you like your gifts.
Rachel tries hard to put on a brave face as Ross and his new girlfriend Julie come back from a work trip. It's not quite fantastic though, and Ross seems to miss the sarcasm in her tone, perhaps he's too loved up for this moment. Nonetheless, Rachel's heartache produced a funny one-liner. Sorry, Rach.
94. Monica: "I think I'd be great in a war. I'd, like, get all the medals." / Chandler: "Before or after you're executed by your own troops?"
Monica & Chandler – The One With the Ride Along
A quote about: War
Use this when: Trying for a gold medal in a race.
It's the event after the ride along and the gang are hanging out discussing Phoebe's new boyfriend and whether he's been shot. Monica reminds us that she would make general before all of her friends. Chandler fires back with sarcasm, but it's this scene where we are reminded of her bossy personality.
95. "God, I love how sexy I am."
Phoebe – The One With Joey's New Girlfriend
A quote about: Self-admiration
Use this when: You're feeling fresh in your new PJs.
Phoebe is killing it with her singing, thanks to her cold blessing her with a sexy, raspy new voice. Even the gang agree she sounds better vocally, and in typical Phoebe fashion, she acknowledges her newfound sound. Sticky shoes – a real hit at the coffee house that day.
96. "No, I'm a positive person. You're like Santa Claus on Prozac in Disneyland getting laid."
Phoebe – The One in Massapequa
A quote about: Positivity
Use this when: One of your friends needs to be silenced.
We all love a positive and happy person, but for Phoebe, her new boyfriend Parker is a little too much. He's fun at first, but he becomes a tad overbearing. After an attempt to silence him with a game (it clearly doesn't work), Phoebe truth-bombs Parker with this line. We're always thankful for her ability to speak up.
97. "They don't know that we know they know we know."
Phoebe – The One Where Everybody Finds Out
A quote about: Knowing
Use this when: Searching for hidden Christmas presents but your parents already know.
This moment has to go down as the most funniest and entertaining in a comedy TV series. It was the gang's finest hour, if not Phoebe who we applaud for putting on a great show. In this scene, they are trying to mess with Chandler and Monica, realizing that they know they know…so, there's only one thing to do, up their game.
98. Ross: "Hello? Did you not read the Lord of the Rings in high school?" / Joey: "No, I had sex in high school."
Ross & Joey – The One Where They're Going to Party!
A quote about: High-school
Use this when: Your book club asks you for input.
Chandler and Ross' party-friend Gandalf is in town (not the same guy from Middle Earth), and they're up for a night out! Joey hasn't read LOTR, and he wants to know why that's his name. Of course, he didn't geek out in high-school like Ross, and Joey and this quick comeback reminds them of that.
99. Phoebe: "Have you ever chased someone to the airport before?" / Ross: "Not since my cop show got canceled."
Phoebe & Ross – The Last One
A quote about: Sarcasm
Use this when: Rushing for your flight at the airport.
It's the final episode of the series and Ross is determined to make it to the airport and see Rachel. Phoebe understands the assignment as Ross is clueless on how to execute his plan. Rachel did get off the plane…although it wasn't Ross' master plan.
100. "Guys can fake it? Unbelievable! The one thing that's ours!"
Monica – The One Where Rachel Goes Back to Work
A quote about: Urm, sex?
Use this when: Sex was unsatisfying.
Monica and Chandler are in full baby-making mode, and Monica is convinced the night before was a good night for the deed. Chandler comes clean *oh dear* and tells Monica he faked it and, well, our reaction is the same as Monica's… can they fake it? This changes everything.
