When Courteney Cox Picked One of the Most Anxiety-Inducing ‘Friends’ Episodes as Her Favorites Back Then

For Friends fanatics, picking just one ‘best’ episode from the 90s sitcom feels
as unholy a task as choosing favorites amongst one’s children or pets. Well, it
is no easier for its cast members like Courteney Cox, whose pick of a favorite
has changed many times over the years. After all, Friends’ ten seasons offered
so many memorable gems through slapstick, catchphrases, romance and tearjerkers
that it is almost impossible to keep track of.  

Even so, a decade after its last season aired, Cox settled on a favorite segment
that highlighted her character’s strongest trait. 


THE ONE IN WHICH MONICA SUFFERED A RARE DEFEAT

The borderline know-it-all, Monica Geller, truly took center stage when it came
to any form of competition. It appears that the actress who played her quite
liked this aspect of the chef because, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly
via AL

in 2015, Courteney Cox chose The One With the Embryos as her favorite. In this
episode, Monica and Rachel faced off with Ross and Chandler in a quiz that cost
them their apartment.



Although her character was let down by Rachel and turned into a mess upon
losing, Cox chose it simply because it showed Monica in her element, i.e. being
competitive. One can’t deny that her meticulous memory, accurate answers, and
fierce determination painted The One With the Embryos as a Monica Geller
masterclass in which her radiating competitive spirit fueled the episode’s
humor.

THE ONE IN WHICH COURTENEY COX SHOWCASED A NEW TALENT

In 2021, Cox rediscovered The One With The Routine and deemed it her favorite

In it, Monica and Ross delivered the dance performance of a lifetime, complete
with sparkly costumes and infectious enthusiasm. Once a source of shame for the
sibling duo, the cathartic routine helped them reclaim their childhood. Around
that same time, the Scream actress was also beginning to find new favorite
moments through the legendary Thanksgiving episodes!



During an interview on The Ellen Show, the 59-year-old revealed that the
Covid-19 pandemic had made her binge Friends again. While she had forgotten a
lot, re-watching it jogged her memory and made her realize that the
“Thanksgiving episodes” were her favorite. In particular, she had loved the one
from the “first season” in which she debuted as “overweight Monica,” remembering
how “free” she felt in that form.

Years after Friends ended, Courteney Cox declared one episode to be her favorite in which Monica's special trait was highlighted.

Ibadat Kaur, a Hollywood News writer at Netflix Junkie, has writ over 500+ copies on the latest updates of celebrities like Ryan Reynolds and Henry Cavill. Kaur also delves into sling form copies around the nuances of series. One example of this is her piece on Sex Education Season 4 where she talked about how the show turned a hated character like Aimee into one loved by many.
