Since it first aired on NBC in 1994, Friends has become one of the most iconic television shows of all time. Following the lives of six young adults in New York City, the show resonated with viewers across the world, becoming a cultural phenomenon. With 11 seasons and 236 episodes, it can be difficult to know which episodes are the best – and even more difficult to decide which are the worst. We have taken the time to rank the worst episodes of Friends and will explain why they deserve to be at the bottom of the list.
Throughout the 11 seasons, some episodes are bound to be better than others. Even with such a large and devoted fanbase, there are still some episodes that rank lower than others. We have taken the time to look through the entire series and have ranked the 10 worst episodes. These are the ones that failed to capture the spirit of the show, and simply didn’t live up to the high bar set by the rest of the series.
From Ross’s unfortunate tanning session to Joey’s infamous “smell the fart” scene, we have taken the time to analyze each episode and have ranked them from worst to best. Read on to find out which episodes of Friends are the lowest ranked, and why they deserve to be at the bottom of the list.
