Phoebe Buffay's Best Moments
Buzzfeed

We all know Phoebe Buffay; the quirky, free spirit, comedic relief from the TV show "Friends." She always had a different, unusual story to tell or an offhand comment for the most inappropriate times, and, honestly, that is why every fan loves her. From having her brother’s triplets to singing “Smelly Cat” on the Central Perk stage, Phoebe offered every die-hard fan some of the best, most memorable moments of the 10 season show.

When Phoebe tried to seduce Chandler

Let’s start with maybe one of the funniest, most important Phoebe moments of the show. Remember when Phoebe and Rachel knew that Monica and Chandler knew that they knew about their secret relationship? I know, Joey’s not the only one who was totally confused.

But arguably the best moment through this entire episode, “The One Where Everybody Finds Out," is when Phoebe, Rachel and Joey plan for Phoebe to seduce Chandler into telling the truth. Phoebe’s “seducing” of Chandler is not just hilarious but it finally leads to the truth about Monica and Chandler’s relationship.

When she lost the Pac-Man game and taught Ben some new fancy words

Apparently, Phoebe has a competitive streak with a raging temper beneath all that blonde hair. Phoebe needed to play the Pac-Man game in order to erase all the naughty names Chandler used before Ben arrived, and ironically ended up teaching Ben all the glorious words anyway. To be completely honest, aren’t we all like Phoebe when we lose?

When she ran with Rachel

Not going to lie, I’m pretty sure I look like this when I run, too. Phoebe is the most eccentric person in the world, so why would she run like a normal person. Phoebe’s over the top, flailing arm and leg sprint matches her personality perfectly. Honestly, the best part about her running is when she gets Rachel to run carefree as well and she runs into that horse. If you have never gone on a run and tried to run this way, you need to; but maybe not in public -- or around any cute boys.

Every time she sings “Smelly Cat”

The "Friends" gods should release “Smelly Cat” as a single on iTunes because I would defiantly buy it, maybe make it my ringtone. Phoebe singing “Smelly Cat” is what first introduced the fans to the craziness that is Phoebe Buffay. The out-of-tune song about stinking, stray cats completely illustrates why we all love her. Personally, I especially love when she signs a record deal and makes a dramatic music video for this amazing song.

Every time she was the most innocent adult in the world

Well into her 20s and 30s Phoebe didn’t know the truth about Santa and she didn’t know how to ride a bike. Her innocence makes her even more endearing since she also tended to consistently speak with sexual innuendos or about her time living on the streets with Lowell, her friend who tried to mug her and Ross and her other colorful street friends. Every time Phoebe showed a little bit of her innocence, it honestly made me love her a little bit more.

When she had her brother’s triplets

I promise, it is not as weird as it sounds. When her recently-found brother and his way older wife decide they want to have a child, they rely on Phoebe to act as their surrogate. So for an entire season we get to watch Phoebe live life and scare people by telling them she’s having her brother’s triplets. Let’s not forget that heart-wrenching moment when she had to say goodbye to the babies even though she actually wanted to keep one.

When she declared Rachel was Ross’ lobster

Arguably one of the most famous lines from the show, Phoebe showed her support for the Ross and Rachel relationship by declaring Rachel was Ross’ lobster, also known as his soulmate. This rather odd statement is arguably as popular and well-known as "We were on a break!"


Phoebe, the strangest, oddest, funniest character in the "Friends" group usually used her unique stories, experiences and out-of-the-blue comments to create some of the most memorable, funniest moments on the show. If I were to list every memorable moment Phoebe had throughout the 10 seasons, this article would never end. If you want to see more of her crazy moments, you better just get a carton of ice cream and order some pizza because you have a lot of episodes to watch on Netflix.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
