IMPORTANT THANKSGIVING PSA
every ranking of the “Friends” Thanksgiving episodes you will find on blogs or in magazines is wrong and I alone am correct
there are 10 altogether, only 5 are any good, and it is mostly not the ones you are thinking

Comments
Season 5, Episode 8: "The One With All the Thanksgivings" - aged horribly (the Fat Monica shit is unconscionable)
Season 8, Episode 9: "The One With the Rumor" - aged horribly (central joke is intersex/transphobic and Brad Pitt is an asshole)
Season 2, Episode 8: "The One With the List" - barely any Thanksgiving content, just Ross being trash to Rachel
Season 10, Episode 8: "The One With the Late Thanksgiving" - everyone is awful to Monica and baby beauty pageants are creepy
these are in order, there are two I find enjoyable but skippable on a time crunch and three that are still, decades later, everything genuinely fun about this show
Season 1, Episode 9: "The One Where Underdog Gets Away"
it’s the first one so it establishes the tradition and it’s still relatable “broke in your 20s” content. everyone was SUPPOSED to fly home for their parents to feed them but ends up eating grilled cheese sandwiches together instead
Season 3, Episode 9: "The One With the Football"
the show is at its best when it remembers that Ross and Monica are siblings, not just two members of a 6-person friend group, and that their entire family is batshit insane. also some great physical comedy
