On a sitcom like Friends, there's a comforting sense of deja vu where every episode feels the same as the one before it. But there are definitely some big moments that happen, and they usually involve the love lives of the main characters.
Whether it's Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) finding love with Mike (Paul Rudd), or Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) finally making their way back to each other, there are countless episodes where fans can celebrate the happiness that their favorite friends have found. Many of these exciting episodes got high ratings on IMDb.
10 The One With Barry And Mindy's Wedding (8.2)
Monica (Courteney Cox) and Richard (Tom Selleck) are a great couple, which is why it's so devastating when they break up in this episode.
Monica realizes that they're at the point of no return in their relationship, as she wants to start a family, and since Richard is so much older than her, he's not at that point in his life anymore.
9 The One Where Monica Gets A Roommate (8.3)
The pilot of Friends is memorable for so many reasons, and one of them is the fact that Rachel starts living with Monica. Fans learn that Rachel, Monica, and Ross have known each other for a long time, and soon Rachel is part of the group.
This episode got an 8.3 rating out of 10 on IMDb, and it was a great introduction to the sitcom that would become so popular.
8 The One With Ross' Wedding (8.7)
Not everyone adores the character of Ross, but one of his most memorable moments is in this episode when he gets married but says Rachel instead of Emily (Helen Baxendale).
If Ross marrying someone else (and then proving that he still loves Rachel) wasn't enough, this episode also has the milestone moment in which Chandler and Monica have sex.
7 The One With The Proposal (8.8)
It felt like it took forever for Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Monica to get engaged, but it finally happened in this episode, which was the sixth season finale.
With an 8.8 rating out of 10 on IMDb, it's clearly a popular episode. This is one of the couple's biggest milestones, besides when they decided to start a family together.
6 The One Where Rachel Has A Baby (8.8)
Rachel might have dated different people over the seasons, but she and Ross are endgame, no doubt about it. It was so sweet to watch her have their child, and in this episode, she gives birth to their daughter Emma.
This episode got an 8.8 rating out of 10 on IMDb, and it might be a little surprising that it's not higher, since this was such a big moment for the couple. But this episode did take place near the end of the series, when viewer fatigue could have been setting in.
5 The One Where Rachel Finds Out (8.9)
Fans of Friends knew that Ross was seriously in love with Rachel for a long time before she did, but in the season one finale, she finally discovered how he felt about her.
It was Chandler who told Rachel all about Ross' secret longing for her, and this was a huge moment on the show. This episode got an 8.9 out of 10 rating on IMDb.
4 The One With Phoebe's Wedding (8.9)
Phoebe finds love with Mike, a very popular character, most likely because he was played by Paul Rudd.
While the show tends to focus on the love lives of Ross/Rachel and Chandler/Monica, Phoebe was able to find her soulmate as well, and this was a fun and emotional episode. It got the high rating out 8.9 out of 10 on IMDb.
3 The One Where Ross And Rachel ... You Know (8.9)
Rachel isn't always a great partner for Ross, but they're still such a popular couple and it's impossible to imagine them never getting together on Friends. In this episode, they finally sleep together. It's fairly highly rated with an 8.9 out of 10 rating on IMDb.
There was so much anticipation leading up to this moment, but their love story is always exciting, as they experience so many ups and downs.
2 The One With The Embryos (9.5)
Phoebe is quirky, that's for sure, and she's also totally selfless sometimes. One of her best moments is when she decides that she'll carry her brother's baby. And as it turns out, she's going to be carrying triplets.
This is a milestone in Phoebe's life, as it's impossible for her not to be changed by this experience, and IMDb gave it a 9.5 out of 10 rating.
1 The One Where Everybody Finds Out (9.7)
Chandler and Monica have some rough spots in their relationship, but it's still exciting to see them begin dating. In this classic episode, which got a high rating of 9.7 out of 10, the whole gang learned that they were in love.
This was emotional for all of the characters and also very moving for fans. While some viewers might never have thought that these two would have fallen for each other, they ended up being so good together.
