There are several famous quotes from Friends that still stand out, from Joey talking about not sharing food to Phoebe’s well-known “Smelly Cat” song lyrics. Viewers know and love these characters thanks to many rewatches and certain lines are always going to be funny. But even though fans have memorized many pieces of dialogue and hilarious quotes, there are still many great lines that can be discovered, and many of these could be turned into memes.

Whether Mike makes a comment about the wedding industry or Chandler attempts small talk with Gunther, there are several Friends quotes that viewers could use to create some memorable memes.

10 Mike Talks About How Pricey Weddings Are

“I heard that weddings are, like, a 40 billion dollar a year industry.”

Phoebe and Mike’s best Friends episodes are moving and funny. They’re perfect for each other and it’s great looking back on how they always joke around.

In the season 10 episode “The One With the Home Study,” Ross tells Phoebe that her wedding is going to cost a lot, and Mike makes this comment. This underrated quote would make for a hilarious meme since many people talk about how much weddings cost, and this meme would be relevant whether someone is wedding planning or not interested in marriage at all.

9 Monica Comes Up With An Ad

“Socks. Because your family’s feet deserve the best.”

In the season 9 episode, “The One Where Rachel Goes Back To Work,” Chandler is working on some advertisement ideas and says that cheese is “milk that you chew” and jokes about crackers and cheese being friends. Monica comes up with her own ad for socks.

Monica’s most famous quotes are often about relationships or, in most cases, how clean she is, so this quote stands out. It’s also just a hilarious and quirky thing to say.

8 Monica Asks If No One Will Marry Her

“is there something fundamentally un-marry-able about me?”

Chandler and Monica’s marriage is incredibly happy and fulfilling, but back in season 1, Monica has no idea if she will ever find her soulmate. Her love life feels tough and bleak and she’s definitely tired of dating without much luck.

Monica’s question about whether anyone would marry her is relatable and self-deprecating. When people feel a bit lost when it comes to dating, they could use this meme.

7 Gunther Doesn’t Want Any Small Talk

“You don’t need to fill these silences.”

Gunther has many funny Friends quotes, and in an underrated scene from season 4, Chandler tries to chat with him and make things less awkward. Gunther says this great quote about how it’s fine for them to stand there without saying anything.

While Gunther is often in the background of many Friends episodes, and his love for Rachel is always obvious, it’s true that he and the other characters don’t have any deep or real conversations. Gunther’s words would be a perfect meme for anyone who doesn’t have much of an appreciation small talk and thinks that silence can be a beautiful thing.

6 Phoebe Has A Great Excuse

“I’m sorry I won’t be able to make it to your imaginary wedding, but I’m really busy that day. I already have a unicorn baptism and a leprechaun Bar Mitzvah.”

In season 8, Rachel’s dad is upset that she’s pregnant but not married to Ross, and Phoebe has some excuses for why she’s not able to go.

Everyone knows the pain of trying to find a good excuse for not going to a social occasion, and while of course Phoebe’s reasons don’t make any sense since they’re not real, this quote would still make for a funny meme when people want to get out of doing something.

5 Joey Gets Upset About A Buffet Wait Time

“I’m having the worst time. There was a 15-minute line for the buffet…”

Phoebe’s best Friends songs can get pretty dark, so it’s no wonder that she has trouble dealing with her boyfriend Parker who even says that traffic can be a good thing. At Ross and Monica’s parents’ anniversary party in the season 8 episode “The One in Massapequa,” Phoebe admits that the party is awful and Joey complains about waiting in line for the buffet.

While Joey’s line about not sharing food is famous and beloved, his quote about the buffet is underrated and perfect for a meme. No one wants to wait for anything, let alone a buffet.

4 Chandler Has Figured Out Why Couples Get Married

“The best reason to get married is pregnancy. Sorry’s about fourth, behind being ready and actually wanting to get married.”

Chandler’s season 5 quote about why people get married is a perfect example of how hard it is for him to commit and grow up before he falls in love with Monica and his life changes. It’s also a good choice for a meme.

When Monica asks Chandler “Do you really think the best reason to get married is because you’re sorry?” he has this answer ready. While it sounds like he’s joking, viewers know that Chandler isn’t so sure about having a wedding until he realizes that he can’t live without Monica.

3 Joey Has A Great Idea About Die Hard

“If we watch it a second time then it’s Die Hard 2!”

In the season 7 episode “The One with the Nap Partners,” Joey tells Chandler and Ross that they should watch Die Hard twice in a row. He’s not interested in the sequel and he just wants to watch the original movie over and over again.

Since Die Hard is such a popular movie, and so many people debate whether it counts as a Christmas movie, Joey’s quote would make for a funny and cheerful meme. Chances are that many viewers can relate to Joey’s desire to watch a favorite film more than once.

2 Monica And Chandler Aren’t On The Same Page

Monica: “Do you think we talk about our relationship enough?”

Chandler: “Yeah. Do we have any Fruit Roll Ups?”

Chandler and Monica’s Friends relationship changes a lot, and in season 6, Monica wonders if they have enough serious and important conversations.

This exchange is sweet, moving, and funny since it’s so relatable, making it work for a good meme. While couples need to communicate regularly if they’re going to stay together, sometimes it’s tough to be on the same page about how often those talks need to take place.

1 Chandler Says That He And Monica Should Skip Hosting Thanksgiving

“We don’t feel we can host Thanksgiving this year.”

Friends fans love watching the main characters celebrate Thanksgiving each year. In season 10, Chandler says that he and Monica are too overwhelmed by trying to adopt that they can’t be the ones hosting it. Joey says that this must be coming from Monica, not Chandler.

Chandler’s admission that hosting is not in the cards this year might not be as funny as some other things that he says on the sitcom. But this quote feels perfectly meme-worthy as many people can relate to feeling the stress of cooking a big holiday dinner, especially when other parts of life feel tough.
