TOP 5 EPISODES OF "FRIENDS" according to me
Greetings, steemers!!
This is my first post in this community, and I really hope it is well received.
I love this kind of posts, I love reading them, watching them on videos, and more but I haven't seen a post like this here on Steemit, so I'm planning on posting some of the kind in this community, if I'm allowed to, of course (if I'm not, please be sure to make it clear in a comment).
With that being said, I'll start my 1st post :D
We all know about Friends, the TV sitcom from the 90's that became one of the most popular television shows of all time. Through its 10 seasons we enjoyed 236 episodes of comedy and romance; 236 episodes from which it's difficult to choose our favorites. However, this humble server accepted the challenge, and took the time on revisiting each one of the 236 episodes to build this top, so here it is:
TOP 5 Episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S according to @opera.shoujo

#5 "The One Where They're Up All Night" Season 7 - Episode 12
Aired on January 11, 2001, this episode has a hilarious development that is completely different to the regular episodes. In this one, all six friends remain awake for an entire night after trying to see a comet from the rooftop, but what makes each one of them keep awake makes it even funnier, especially in the case of Phoebe, whose smoke detector couldn't be turned off from beeping, and the case of Joey and Ross who get stuck on the roof and try to escape using the emergency exit in a clumsy way. On the other side, Monica and Chandler try to sleep or have sex just to end up cleaning; and Rachel goes back to her office with her assistant/boyfriend Tag while in the middle of a date to check on a business paper, but end up trying to fool each other.
Highlights of this episode: Phoebe smashing her smoke detector up, and Ross/Joey climbing down the emergency escape.

#4 "The One with the Free Porn" Season 4 - Episode 17
Aired on March 26, 1998, in this episode, Chandler and Joey discover, as the title suggests, a free porn channel while still living at Monica's apartment. This discovery leads the both of them to refuse to switch channels, or even turning off the TV out of fear of losing the channel. Hilarious!! There are also important events going on in this episode, since Phoebe learns that she is expecting triplets, and also Ross's relationship with Emily develops as he declares her love for her in the airport, and then travels to London after being encouraged by Monica, just to find out that Emily had returned to New York to declare her love for him.
Highlight of this episode: Chandler and Joey screaming "free porn" as they turn the TV off and on.

#3 "The One with the Football" Season 3 - Episode 9
Aired on November 21, 1996, this one is the best Thanksgiving episode out of the 10, since there are 1 in every season. What makes this Thanksgiving episode so unique is the football game that is played by the six friends, especially given the fact that only 3 of them can actually play (Monica, Ross and Joey), while the others are merely fooling around or making useless efforts. Chandler is easily distracted by a hot girl, and Phoebe's boobs, Rachel is left behind for being the weakest player, although trying hard to be taken into account, and Phoebe has no clue about the mechanism of the game, which makes it even funnier. Ross’s and Monica's obssession for the win annoys the others, plus it leads them to end up simultaneously grabbing the ball, with neither of them refusing to yield it... For hours.
Highlights of this episode: Phoebe distracting Chandler with her boobs, and Rachel holding Joey from behind while Monica grabs her feet.

#2 "The One with the Ball" Season 5 - Episode 21
Aired on May 6, 1999, this episode has too much fun to watch. The episode centers itself on a silly ball game innocently invented by Joey and Ross, who were passing time tossing a ball back and forth, and subsequently trying to figure out how long they could go without dropping it. Monica, moved by her competitive self, joined the two of them missing a day at work, and even Chandler, who was said to be a "dropper" joined the silly game. Apart from them, Rachel buys a hairless Sphynx cat for $1,000, which she regrets almost instantly and leads to hilarious moments every time someone mistakes the cat for any other creature, every time Rachel is scared or attacked by the cat, and finally when the poor Gunther from Central Perk buys it without even knowing what it is, only to please Rachel. On the other side, Phoebe, who had been dating a police officer long enough so as to be asked to move in, and that makes her freak out, but when she finally agrees, it comes to an abrupt end when the guy shoots a bird outside the bedroom window.
Highlights of this episode: The whole episode. LOL

#1 "The One with the Embryos" Season 4 - Episode 12
4x12 "The One with the Embryos"
Aired on January 15, 1998, this episode is way too special. I think it is a MUST in every fan of Friends' Top 5. In it, Rachel, Monica, Chandler and Joey play a trivia game designed by Ross, after the girls demanded that Chandler and Joey got rid of their pet birds when their rooster started to crow every morning. The bet was high: if the men lost, they had to give up their pets, but if the women lost, they had to switch apartments with the men. The trivia game was epic, and the result was the latter, meaning the ladies lost their apartment, for which Chandler and Joey made an iconic triumphant entrance. Meanwhile, the embryos from Phoebe's brother and his wife had been successfully implanted into Phoebe's uterus, leading to another iconic scene, when at the end of the episode, Phoebe's pregnancy is confirmed, and an overjoyed Frank claims: "my sister's going to have my baby." Hilarious!
Highlights of this episode: Monica screaming after Rachel screwed their game up, Joey and Chandler's triumphant entrance, and Frank Jr's weird celebration.
Thanks for reading!! :D
