Nothing, and I mean nothing, makes me laugh like a good bit of physical comedy. Over the course of its 10-season run, Friends managed to pack in a respectable amount of hilarious slapstick, although it’s interesting to observe that it relied on it more during its latter seasons than its earlier ones. It is a show that, of course, had many issues—especially looking back on it now—but, for me, seasons 1-4 (and a healthy dose of season 5) remain an endlessly rewatchable treasure trove of sharp writing and visual gags (as well as an intoxicating ’90s time capsule—oh the innocence of the pre-digital era, take me back!). Season 6 onwards still has its share of great moments, but it’s not the same. Monica and Chandler partnering up changes the dynamic of the group, the characters undergo rapid Flanderization, and everybody gets far too tanned and 21st-century-d. The slapstick moments are the main parts I enjoy from those later seasons, and they are a topic that Reddit had on its mind the other day, when users pondered their favorite bits of physical comedy from all ten seasons of Friends. You can check out the full thread here, but below are some highlights:

What’s your favorite physical comedy moment?
