I used to watch Friends constantly, but I can't pinpoint a favorite - I just loved when they were all sitting in Central Perk and chatting.

My absolute favorite is the one with the prom video, when Ross and Rachel finally get together, but the best part of the episode is the subplot about the bracelet that Joey gives Chandler. Hilarious!!

Favorite episode of Friends is the one when the friends finally figured out that Monica & Chandler (excpet Joey:), were together and tried to get them to admit it...all 6 actors were at the top of their game - it was comic genius!!!!

So many funny episodes of Friends, it's hard to pick one. I think the episode where Ross was supposed to get married to Emily in London.

OH, it's so hard to pick a favorite! The one that always makes me cry though is the one at the end where they all put their keys on the counter. TEARS!
