3. Practical Jokes
When Rachel was asked to babysit Ross’s son Ben for a while. Rachel wanted to come out as fun, so she starts with some practical jokes. When Ross returns back, Rachel pulls off a sticker that was stuck by Ben on Ross’s back as a prank.

Chandler, as usual, couldn’t resist making fun of Joey and he says, “Donald Trump wants his blue blazer black” which was scripted and not a mistake. But Rachel and Monica mocking him for his mistake was so spontaneous and in character. They thought to keep it.
6. Pages Stuck
The shows one of the famous Thanksgiving episodes. Where Rachel cooks the famous English Trifle and messes it up for good, where Ross finds out the pages of the cookbook were stuck and she cooks a weird mixture of Trifle and Shepherds Pie.
Well, Joey comes up with the filthiest joke to blame Chandler for the sticking of pages where the reaction was quite funny to not keep in the show.
7. The Last Laugh
Friends show will always be one of our favorite shows, for its great script and fine actors. The last goodbyes were sad when all the actors were moving out Rachel asked ‘Should we have coffee?’
That’s when Chandler says ‘Where?’ as if they were not going to Central Perk.
This is when the set of Central Perk was demolished and Matthew Perry says this the cast smiles which lightens the mood and this came out so perfectly as the show ends.
8. The Real Cry Of Carol
Carol and Ross were indeed together at the start of the show, and they had some challenges. Remember the dramatic scene in which Ross pleaded with Carol to give him another chance and return to him?
That sequence was actually quite moving, thanks to Carol’s tears and, of course, Ross’s acting skills. Carol was not supposed to cry, and it wasn’t in the screenplay. According to a publication, the actress simply felt like crying and did so.
And it’s all thanks to Ross’s performance. The actress was moved to tears by the lines that Ross said from his heart.
She stated, “It was so emotional and he made me cry. My eyes welled with tears as we were doing the scene because he was so tender and so loving.”
