[[AC:307: TOW the Race Car Bed]]
* Ross' description of how absolutely impossible it is for him to get Rachel's father to like him.
-->'''Rachel:''' Look, I realize my father is difficult, but that's why you have got to be the bigger man here.
-->'''Ross:''' Look, sweetie, I could be the bigger man. I could be the biggest man. I could be a big, huge, ''giant'' man and it still wouldn't make a difference, except that I could pick your father up and say, (''pretending to speak to something held in his hand'') "LIKE ME, LIKE ME, TINY DOCTOR!"

'''Monica:''' You're a pig. [to Rachel] And you can't do this.
* Ross doesn't approve of Phoebe calling him "Divorce-O." "If you're going to call me anything it should be Ross the Divorcer. It sounds cooler." Later, he runs "Ross the Divorce Force" past Mike, who thinks is cool.
* After the apartment is baby-proofed, Joey can't get anything opened at all. When he finally gets the fridge door opened in TheTag, he grabs everything he can in case he can't open it again.

* This BlackComedy [[http://www.funnyordie.com/articles/d0e346946e/exclusive-interview-the-cast-of-friends-reunites cast interview]] with Funny Or Die News. Even if it's fake it's still hilarious.

* In the bloopers, Matthew Perry would interrupt the take for a joke. There's one where they're filming a scene where Richard has something to tell Monica, and then Chandler walks in...
-->'''Matthew Perry''' ''(as Chandler)'': What the f**k are you doing?
* In another blooper, something has gone wrong and they tell him to start the take over from the beginning. At this point, the 1-second-long scene has consisted of Chandler opening the door and walking in.
-->'''Matthew Perry''': [[FlatWhat How could I have done that wrong]].
* In 2004, Creator/PaulRudd appeared on ''Series/LateNightWithConanOBrien'' and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsJwZLLMjoM&t=3m32s decided it would be okay]] to show a clip from the SeriesFinale. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the origin of the ''Film/MacAndMe'' RunningGag.

* Alternate Chandler and Monica talking about having sex. Their normal selves are awkward enough at these things, but with Monica shyer and fat, and Chandler extra-geeky and even more insecure than usual, it's taken UpToEleven. Watch their nervous discussion on whether they have 'moves'... They really don't. Then there's Chandler claiming he's had sex with four different women (rather than just four times ever)... then admitting it was only three... and then downgrading it to two... and in the final scene, after she agrees to his suggestion that she should be with him by giving him a BigDamnKiss...

* Joey is working in the perfume section of a department store when a new salesman dressed in a black cowboy outfit horns in on his territory. The whole thing pays like a Western, complete with ShowdownAtHighNoon and Joey RidingIntoTheSunset (well, a sunset poster, anyway).
** The scenes with Joey and Chandler, with the latter serving as a bartender.

[[AC:203: TOW Heckles Dies]]
* Everyone's Janice imitations, with Joey's clearly being of her having sex with Chandler.
* The gang hears Mr. Heckles banging on the ceiling, so they decide to stomp louder to spite him. Eventually, Heckles stops and the gang cheers in victory... [[MoodWhiplash and then we cut to Heckles' body being carted away]].
* Heckles left all his possessions to "the loud girls upstairs." Monica is at first ecstatic that he didn't really hate them... then reconsiders when she sees all the tacky crap in Heckles' apartment.
* Along with not beliveing in evolution, Phoebe [[GravityIsJustATheory has her doubts about gravity]].
-->'''Ross:''' You, uh, you don't believe in gravity?\\
'''Phoebe:''' Well, it's not so much that, you know, like I don't believe in it, you know, it's just... I don't know, lately I get the feeling that I'm not so much being pulled down as I am being ''pushed''.\\
[[Knock on door]]\\
'''Chandler:''' Uh-oh. It's Isaac Newton, and he's pissed!
* One of Heckles' possessions is a large magnifying reading glass that the guys keep walking in front off, making their crotches look huge. Monica gives a heartfelt speech in front of it, undercut by the others laughing at her looking like she has HartmanHips. In the end, Joey keeps it for himself.
* Worried that he'll end up like Mr. Heckles, Chandler hears footsteps on the ceiling and grabs the broom to bang on the ceiling, just as Heckles used to do. The horrified look on Joey and Phoebe's faces, followed by Chandler's startled realisation, his hilarious.
