My Ranking Of The Friends Thanksgiving Episodes

Thanksgiving usually gets overlooked. There aren't really any Thanksgiving songs, Thanksgiving television specials, or special Thanksgiving decorations. The one thing I always look forward to, however, is rewatching all of the Friends Thanksgiving episodes! Here is a ranking of all of the Thanksgiving Day episodes.

#9: The One with Chandler in a Box

This episode isn't terrible, but it's the worst Thanksgiving themed episode. Although it's funny that Joey forces Chandler to think about his actions in a box, it makes Thanksgiving seem like the sub-plot. I'd say it's a "moo point" episode.

#8: The One Where Chandler Doesn't Like Dogs

This episode is the same as the season 7 Thanksgiving episode. It's funny, but Thanksgiving is more of a sub-plot. There is a very adorable dog featured in it, which keeps it from being last place.

#7: The One with Rachel's Other Sister

This episode is very funny, and Christina Applegate does a great job playing Rachel's superficial sister Amy. From the extremely crazy "What if" scenarios, to Monica constantly being worried about her China being broken, this episode reminds most of us what a Thanksgiving dinner is like.

#6: The One Where Underdog Gets Away

This episode is a great first Thanksgiving episode that helped establish the show. A group of friends forced to have Thanksgiving together since all of their original plans fell through shows their official independence. The idea of one of the Macy's Parade's giant balloons floating away is also hilarious, and I think we've all had a Monica level panic attack around the holidays.

#5: The One with the Rumor

This episode is great, especially since Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were married at the time. The high school drama being brought up is hilarious, and Joey's journey of eating an entire Thanksgiving turkey by himself. The feeling of putting on some stretchy pants before the final bites of the meal are all too familiar

#4: The One with the Late Thanksgiving

This was the perfect last Thanksgiving episode. The "floating heads" are still a joke today, and Rachel's exclamation "We should not want to be together, together!" is the perfect statement of how some family Thanksgivings end up. And Chandler and Monica getting a call from the adoption agency was the perfect way to end the episode.

Giphy

#3: The One with the Football

Football is a Thanksgiving tradition, so of course they had to make a Thanksgiving Day/Football episode. Rachel's "last player picked" attitude and girls vs. boys competition are funny, but Monica and Ross' sibling rivalry is what truly puts this episode toward the top of the list.

Giphy

#2: The One with All the Thanksgivings

It's always funny to think about past dreadful Thanksgivings on Thanksgiving Day, and this episode helps solidify that statement. Seeing high school and college Rachel, Monica, Ross, and Chandler is one of my favorite things throughout the show, but the turkey on the head is one of the funniest things the show ever did.

Giphy

#1: The One Where Ross Got High

This is definitely the best Thanksgiving episode. EVERYTHING about this episode is funny. From the time Ross and Monica start tattling on each other, to the time Judy Gellar finishes telling everyone the truth, it's impossible to stop laughing. My favorite part of the episode was everyone lying to Rachel about how she made the dessert wrong; only Joey seemed to think that nothing was wrong with the dessert. This episode shows that the truth will ALWAYS come out on Thanksgiving!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
