When it comes to bingeable TV, there's nothing quite like Friends.

NBC's hit sitcom has been off the air for well over a decade, but for some fans, it's

still number one on their streaming queue.

From jokes that never fail to land to emotional moments that resonate just as much as ever,

Friends is an easy show to watch with a lot of payoff packed into each episode.

Even so, there are some scenes that don't hold up quite as well as others, and maybe

For better or worse, mostly worse, here are the parts of Friends that are impossible to

Ross could be a bit of a creep sometimes.

Never was that more true than when his cousin Cassie comes into town for Monica and Chandler's

It's bad enough that he once kissed Chandler's mom and went on a date with Rachel's sister,

but making a move on his own flesh and blood?

His inner monologue is about as gross as it gets.

Pretty hard to root for him to find true love after that foul flirtation.

Phoebe has had some pretty cringeworthy moments on the show, but perhaps the most insufferable

is when she adopts a litter of rat babies that are delivered in her kitchen cabinet

But the part when he has to explain to her that the rats will mate with one another irrespective

of their sibling status is too ditzy to endure.

Joey has a lot of moments of doing dumb things, and most of the time, it's hilarious.

When people do this...I don't really know what that means."

But the show takes it too far when Joey tries to learn French from Phoebe and can't even

Sure, Phoebe's frustrated reactions are comedy gold …

"You're not … again … you're NOT SPEAKING FRENCH!!!"

But dumbing him down this much is pretty low, even by Joey's standards.

Smoking was a pretty regular subject of Friends, thanks to Chandler quitting and picking back

up the habit so many times throughout the series.

But things go pretty off the rails when Rachel decides to take it up to spend more time with

her boss and co-worker so that she doesn't get edged out of work decisions.

Not only is it frustrating to watch her debase herself to impress others, but it doesn't

So you'll come with me on the Paris trip."

Rather than giving fans what they really wanted between Ross and Rachel, things went bananas

altogether in the final seasons as Rachel and Joey struck up a romance.

It's awkward enough when Joey falls in love with Rachel while she's pregnant, but when

she eventually returns his affection and they try to make something of it, well, the chemistry

The only good thing that comes out of it is Ross' drunken rant about being totally okay

They try and fail to take their hook-up to the next level.

It might've been the 10th season, with the showrunners saving Ross and Rachel's reunion

'til the very end, but this was a major misfire and is almost unbearable to watch.

Of course, those were only five bad moments in a show full of truly excellent moments.

So how do you pick the top five most excellent scenes from Friends?

Friends was usually at its best when all six characters were huddled together on the orange

couch or hanging out in the big purple apartment.

But every once in a while, they broke off into individual adventures that were downright

Early on in Season 5, Chandler and Monica are desperate to hide their budding romantic

relationship from the others because they fear talking about it might ruin everything.

Poor Joey has to spend weeks covering for them, but eventually, Rachel and Phoebe figure

Instead of merely confronting the couple for keeping this a secret, Phoebe pretends to

be interested in starting up her own tryst with Chandler.

Monica realizes they're being toyed with right away, and decides to play along.

"They don't know that we know that they know, so..."
