But there is one reference from this best awesome show from 1994 to 2004 is from that one scene in that 90's show where lela told jey they rather be friends like joey and chandler

[@Showtunediva]

I gotta say I really want to watch the episode of the Simpsons with The Japanese version of Friends. I think that’s one of the best references.❤

[@ciscojacobo7168]

​@@arielfangirlmendez There was actually another reference of friends in another show called 2 Broke Girls. A character named Oleg was taking a FRIENDS online quiz, and he was shocked to see that his result label him as Ross.

[@ciscojacobo7168]

You should make a video on Top 20 times that 6teen copied from Friends.

[@henri191]

"Out of ideas and forcing Joey and Rachel together even though it made no sense" this is my favorite one, basically sums up this point of the show in season 8

[@flyktsodatamigiland]

Lisa Kudrow was guest voice of The Simpsons and says: “your name is Lisa?? Shut up, I love that name“ And ”don’t be such a Phoebe“

[@amyray5712]

I would also say in How I Met Your Mother when Ted was dating Robin he still has his ex girlfriend stuff in his apartment he has a phone booth on his piano and he claimed that he thinks of it when he went “backing in Europe” and not his ex. He use the European story that Joey( aka Ken Adam’s) made to make girls to make love for him.

[@mizMcAllister]

Ghosts: "We were on a respite!"

[@trinaq]

I remember "Kim Possible" had an episode where they entered different TV shows, and one of the lampooned shows was "Pals." It was hilarious to see Shego in a sitcom.

[@Silverheart575]

You're here a lot. I've seen you on a lot of big bang theory scenes comment sections.

[@ciscojacobo7168]

Yeah, some fan were arguing whether Shego was being either Monica or Rachel.

[@katrina484]

They explained in one episode that the apartment was rent-controlled and subletted from Monica's grandmother. The super of the building threatened to kick them out as subletting a rent-controlled apartment was not allowed and they had done something to annoy him and then Joey confronted him and made it worse, but I can't remember what it was.

[@djanasurkovic4099]

Joey helped him and that is why he gave up on that.

[@brandongill2577]

“Boy! You are so Ross-and-Rachel.” Peter Griffin - Family Guy - Joe's Revenge

[@taylorwatts9391]

They make a Friends reference on NCIS, when McGee gets his teeth whitened. Forgot which episode that was though 😅

[@trinaq]

Oh yes, I remember that one. It was Season 4, Episode 2, "Escaped."

[@user-lv5zz7wv6l]

You know friends is great when other popular shows reference it

[@batgurrl]

Msmojo the reigning queen of Friends lists plus RuPaul’s drag race lists 🎉👏❤️

[@bobjeff5891]

It’s too bad Schooled wasn’t mentioned, they had the longest running Friends joke I am so mad they didn’t mention Schooled (it’s a very underrated show that doesn’t get talked about much)

[@ElvisRose_]

Mine is totally the Leslie Knope moment becauseI had that moment in real life in a speech class where we asked to answer questions about any topic on which we felt we had expertise and I picked "Friends."

[@rebeccabalchunas3351]

There’s a Mom episode where Bonnie and Marjorie ask Christy what friends she’ll hang out with since they are busy. She goes “phoebe, Monica, Rachel.” Of course it’s funnier when you remember Anna Faris was on Friends.

[@user-xy2ei3ww3b]

I also noticed that in Scream 2 Randy says that David from Friends played him in Stab 2 and that he was also mentioned about turning down the role for Stab 3 in Scream 3 and Crrie Fisher aka Bianca Burnette in Scream 3 says to Gale if she should remind her who she looks like, possible referencing Courtney Cox's character in Friends after she and Jennfier say that Bianca looked like Carrie Fisher since that is the actress who played her if that makes sense, check out Scream 3 to get the joke, if my explanation isn't clear enough, lol. 👍

[@louisenielsen6635]

Yeah they mention David Schwimmer. Wouldnt agree with you that thats a Monica reference, but we cant know that. They also reference Jennifer Aniston actually! Gale had appeared on naked photos. And says that it was just her head and Jennifer Anistons body!

[@Ioannis-malewitch]

In a later episode Michael also says to the judge that all "friends" belong to the bad place except for Phoebe. They also make a few "friends" references in 30rock which is understandable since the show is about NBC but kinda weird because David Schwimer and Jennifer Aniston both guest star as other characters.

[@louisenielsen6635]

Love The Good Place!!👍👍 Love their Friends references!!👍👍 Those are some of the best jokes on that show!! Its just missing later - Michael mentions them on a regular basis and then stops after a while 😥

[@inesatt1313]

I love it,it is hilarious

[@leonardolim8976]

The one with the coffee house - Game Shakers. Ik it's not popular but it should at least get a mention

[@R989D]

British Saturday morning kids tv show SMTv live had “CHUMS” with Ant and Dec and Cat Dealy. 😂

[@nivekaman9288]

Quite interesting 🤔🤩

[@sunofthegoddess1617]

It's funny cause technically Friends is a whole reference of queen latifah's show living single

[@bulldogmaster97]

Honorable mention should've gone to Family Guy for that Poltergeist parody episode!!

[@oscarnieman4202]

What about Tayler swift singing smelly cat with the one and only Lisa!!!! Or that episode on Schooled (the spin off of the Goldbergs) ❤

[@g_clayton]

you can easily do a Top 20 tbh

[@yabstract]

you missed the Happy Endings FRIENDS reference

[@GregoryAllisonMelton]

I got to see Terry cruise at Disney world after the guardians of the galaxy not the hologram I saw him walking out

[@waittillfamewtf2385]

💫 Girls on a Mission - "Lego Friends"

[@trinaq]

I used to watch "Murder She Wrote" with my Grandma. We once watched the "Buds" episode, and I was cracking up at the pitch perfect "Friends" parody, though she didn't quite get the reference, having never watched it.

[@alyzu4755]

I love that episode! ☺️

[@johnkeogh6481]

You hear sing song theme from marriage with children

[@jk97301]

you forgot the Glee spoof

[@ellnats]

Pals from Kim Possible, it took me forever to realize it was a friends reference, but i eventually got it

[@ciscojacobo7168]

I seen that scene, I believe that the blonde girl might be Phoebe, the brunette might be Monica, Shego might be Rachel, and the guy might be Ross.

[@ellnats]

@@ciscojacobo7168 maybe ross with joeys charisma

[@ciscojacobo7168]

@@ellnats I wonder who would've the parodies of Chandler and Joey.

[@johnathanparks8410]

I used to watch friends a lot when I was younger. As an adult, I don't find it that funny and most of the characters have a obviously adoying character flaw. Like I cannot watch it anymore without hearing Rachel clear her throat or Chandler just literally never ever being serious.

[@tristankingcooldudewhite8392]

Other honorable mentions "I'll Be There For You" - "Close Enough" (2020-22) Chandler and Monica - "King of the Hill" (1997-2010; 2024-)

" Oleg's FRIENDS Quiz " - " 2 Broke Girl$ " (2011-2017)

Glee!

[@dlmbs]

Yes finally! A The Good Place recognition!!! They were my first thought when I saw the title...

[@shaliseshaw9385]

Animaniacs, Game Shakers, 3rd Rock From The Sun, Kim Possible, and other shows that referenced Friends should've been on the list. 📺📺📺📺

[@Konsker]

lol nice

[@MsDaphfodil]

I wonder how Leslie Knop feels about SCOTUS today 😂😂

[@TheDarkKnight-lf5ce]

I honestly click faster when I saw Brooklyn 99 on the Thumbnail 😊

Ummmmmmm the glee episode

[@samuelcollantes1175]

Ross is largest. Happy wednesday morning, Phoebe, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

That’s crazy to hear!

[@zeokingsilver]

So much friends 😅

[@CatKun-2000]

I kinda wish it was a top 11 instead of a top 10 mostly because there was literally an episode of game shakers that’s a huge parody of friends heck it even has the theme song at the end XD
