So, here’s one thing we need to get out of the way: Friends is one of the funniest TV shows. Sure, some people don’t find it that funny, but we still love it because it’s wholesome and relatable. And that’s not all it is either—Friends also happens to be one of the shows that you can easily watch while eating because it’s so effortlessly easy to follow, even if you’re not paying attention. Kind of like podcasts, if you think about it.

 

Because we’re all about your comfort (especially when you’re trying to find something to watch while eating), we’ve rounded up some of the best filler episodes that don’t need your full attention!

 

  • Season 1: The One With The Fake Monica
