1.09 The One Where Underdog Gets Away

Summary:

Monica decides to host Thanksgiving for the first time. Joey poses for a VD poster, and his parents don't want him at home, so he eats with Monica. Chandler reveals he hates anything to do with Thanksgiving because that is when his parents had announced their divorce on that day. When one of the parade balloons gets loose, everyone goes to the roof to watch, but no one brings their key. Rachel misses her trip to Vail with her family, and the dinner is burned. Everyone is upset until they see their neighbor across the alley, Ugly Naked Guy, happily enjoying his dinner with an Ugly Naked Gal, and the group realizes its not about the food, it's about the company.

"Shooop shooop shoooop"

I'm sorry I really like to just quote Friends. I actually do them in ordinary days or in random FB status. Some people get it, some people don't. And I feel sorry for them. Hahahha

"So I'm thankful that all your Thanksgivings sucked."

Chandler, I love you. This was a great episode, especially the Joey storyline.

I used to show this episode to my students, on Thanksgiving day (in USA).

Yeah! And even though not all of them get all the english words, they always laugh hard! See, Friends is so perfect that most times (and I said most times!) you don't even need to speak the same language to find it funny and fall in love with it! Hehe

I love how Monica is histerical for making three different Thanksgiving dinners!

Monica - "You wanted lumps, Ross? (picks up the pan of badly burnt potatoes) Well, here you go, buddy, ya got one!" Hahahahaha

I love her in this episode! And I feel bad for Joey, haha.

Haha sure! In the end, when he's ripping off the posters, man, that's sooo hilarious!

GOT THE KEYYYS? I love it when Monica and rachel fight
The ending to this episode is so cute.
"it's nice that he has someone"

The thanksgiving episodes is nearly always my favourites, perhaps not this one so much. I love how Pheobe suggests that Ross puts his head in the turkey...

Ross family: the best thing. I mean, this aired in '94, people must have been freaked out about their very untraditional family with two mothers and a father and stuff.


And also: "Joey Tribbiani, man slash woman!"

First thanksgiving episode. <3 The one that started the greatest tradition on the show!

This is one of my favorites episodes. When I first watch friends, this is the oldest episode I remember watched. The end is very very funny. xD

O love the potatos jokes. :D

Haha potatos, potatos, potatos!

Phoebe is so sweet in this one. I always remember that she is wearing the same outfit she wears on the episode she and Rachel go get tattoos in season 2.
