In case you've been living under a rock, Netflix released all 10 seasons of Friends on January 1. Sure, having human contact is nice and necessary or whatever, but sometimes you just need to live vicariously through Ross, Rachel, Monica, Joey, Phoebe and Chandler. There are so many fabulous moments in this series: moments that make you laugh and even cry at times, and these are the moments that have you clicking "Yes" when Netflix asks, "Are you still watching?"
1. The second the opening credits start and you get to sing along with the theme song.
Your job’s a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s DOA. What a coincidence!
2. When Ross articulates himself in the only way he knows how.
Who can forget the “vulva” dirty-talk incident?
3. Anytime Phoebe sings her heart out about... well, anything.
Her mom and dad. Her grandmother. Who could forget Smelly Cat? No one. Because it is iconic.
4. And Joey turns on the charm with his signature line.
Hearts melt everywhere when we hear those three little words.
5. When Monica’s over-competitiveness touches you on a real level.
You don’t want to admit it, but you really relate.
6. When Chandler is a representative for those of us who are “hopeless and awkward and desperate for love.”
No, really. Chanandler Bong is the everywoman.
7. Whenever Janice shows up and you just wait for the infamous,
It’s Chandler Bing!
8. One word: Flashbacks.
They always added a little something extra to the episode.
9. Two more words: Celebrity cameos.
Team Jen for the rest of our lives.
10. When Ross and Rachel fight and you personally feel the emotional strain on their relationship.
Because it always gives you something to really root for.
11. But then they get back together because they are meant to be.
And there is nothing better than seeing the two characters you’ve been rooting for finally end up happy.
12. And you see beautiful moments like this one.
*~*happy tears*~*
13. Oh, and this one.
Too many happy moments to choose from.
14. When the comedy is spot-on.
Which was always.
15. Any time the guys show us what a true bromance is.
It doesn’t get any better than this.
16. Or when the ladies show us what it means to be true besties for the resties.
The three best friends that anybody could have.
17. But mostly, when the whole group reminds us just how important it is to be surrounded by people you love.
On Netflix, but really in the real world, too.
