Where did Phoebe’s mom go?
In season 3, we learn that Phoebe’s biological mother is actually Lily Buffay’s best friend, Phoebe Abbott. This threw a wrench in Phoebe’s backstory, and she is seen being so upset that she refused to see her “mother,” Phoebe Abbott, again.
However, throughout the show, there ceased to be any mention of her until one of the episodes, where Phoebe says her mother sent her a family heirloom. It seems the two patched things up, but it was never clear what happened to Phoebe Abbott.
How old is Ross exactly?
In addition to all the confusion surrounding Ross’s birthday, there’s also confusion surrounding his age. We all know the Friends are in their 20’s, and we even follow a couple of them on their 30th birthdays. But how old is Ross?
In season 3, Ross refuses Chandler’s tasty milkshake offer with the excuse, “No thanks, I’m 29.” However, two seasons later, Ross complains that he doesn’t want to be divorced twice before turning 30. Was he 29 for three whole years?
The One Where Chandler Can Very Well Cry
Out of the six friends, Chandler is known as the sarcastic one. He uses humor as a defense mechanism, and because of his bitter past, he doesn’t display vulnerable emotions. There’s even an episode titled The One Where Chandler Can’t Cry.
But as we see in these few screenshots, Chandler is pretty in tune with his emotions. He’s seen crying on several occasions and not even trying to hide it. After saying he’s “Not a crying kind of guy.” Chandler, we’re calling your bluff!
The capuchin
We can’t talk about Friends without mentioning Ross’s pet capuchin, Marcel. Just like Marcel gave the characters much grief in the show, the actual capuchin playing Marcel also gave David Schwimmer some grief while filming. The monkey would make a mess and mess up the comedic timing.
Despite all this trouble, you can’t deny that you really felt how Ross cared about Marcel throughout the episodes. Did you notice that when the cast sent Marcel off to the zoo, Ross was wearing a lapel pin in the shape of a banana?
Chandler and the bathroom door
One of the more iconic episodes of Friends is the one where Julia Roberts guest stars as Susie, Chandler’s old classmate whom she once bullied. A bathroom tryst goes wrong as Chandler gets played, leaving him completely naked in the men’s bathroom.
Or, supposedly entirely naked. Chandler was supposed to be wearing Susie’s underwear, but that still doesn’t explain how he could walk out of the restaurant scot-free. Even the bathroom door wouldn’t have covered him up entirely, underwear or not!
