‘Friends’ Season 5, Episode 8 “The One With All The Thanksgivings” (2024)

What to Watch

  • Fun
  • Nostalgic

BySamantha Nungesser

Comedy

One of the best episodes inFriendshistory is Season 5, Episode 8, titled “The One with All the Thanksgivings,” where Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Ross and Joey look back on their worst Thanksgivings ever. With the episode being mostly made up of flashbacks, Monica remembers the Thanksgiving she overheard Chandler — now her new boyfriend — make fun of her weight, and the following year when she accidentally cut off his toe trying to revenge seduce him. Not only is the episode filled with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, but it also becomes a pivotal moment in Chandler and Monica’s relationship when he says he loves her for the first time. Of course, he immediately backtracks — and she’s wearing a turkey corpse on her head. But still. It’s cute!
