    This Thanksgiving episode was way better than the past years. Could be one of my favorites. Everyone has their own small plot, and everything just blows up in the end, which is what makes the show entertaining, which is probably why I like this episode so much. Rachel makes her dessert totally wrong. "I wasn't supposed to put meat in the trifle!" Joey wants to go to Janine's Thanksgiving with dancer friends. Monica wants to tell her parents about Chandler. Ross has a secret that made Chandler look bad, and everyone finds out in the end. An amazing Thanksgiving episode with a lot of cool plots.moreless

    The One where Ross Got High (Season 6) is a thanksgiving episode and possibly the best episode ever of Friends!! It's definetly the best thanksgiving episode!! It is absoloutley hilarious and hs loads of great lines. Ross and Monica's parents are coming over for dinner and everyones keeping secrets. 30 seconds pretty much sums it up - Monica: And Dad, you know that mailman that you got fired? He didn't steal your Playboys! Ross did!
    Ross: Yeah, well, Hurricane Gloria didn't break the porch swing, Monica did!
    Monica: Ross hasn't worked at the museum for a year!
    Ross: Monica and Chandler are living together!
    Monica: Ross married Rachel in Vegas! And got divorced! Again!
    Phoebe: I love Jacques Cousteau!
    Rachel: I wasn't supposed to put beef in the trifle!
    Joey: I wanna goooo!
    Judy: That's a lot of information to get in 30 seconds.moreless

    Another great Thanksgiving episode. Jack and Judy Geller are coming over for Thanksgiving dinner. I love these two characters, they are definitly my favorite parents from all the Friends.
    Monica hasn't told her parents that she's dating and living with Chandler because they don't like him. Turns out that back in '88 Ross got high and his parents caught him. So he told them that Chandler had gotten stoned and jumped out of the window.
    Rachel is trying to make a traditional English trifle for dessert but she accidentally puts beef in it. That's pretty gross if your not Joey.
    Joey and Ross want to get out of there as soon as possible so that they can celebrate Thanksgiving with Janine and her hot dancer friends.
    Phoebe has a weird crush on Jack but then she dreams that he cheats on her.
    Funny episode, the best part is with the 'information' that is given in thirty seconds.moreless

    Ross is forced to tell Chandler why Jack and Judy don't like him. Rachel tries to make dessert. Joey and Ross try and get out of Thanksgiving when they are invited to hang out with Janine and her dancer friends. Brilliant episode favourite one of season six, and my favourite thanksgiving episode, laughed my ass off when Rachael mess the pudding up and everyone pretended to eat it and like it, when Chandler threw his off the balcony and said a gull flew away and droped it down to the street, it was great and when Ross said "It taste like Feet" was also very funny.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Continuity: In "The One With Phoebe's Birthday Dinner," which aired in 2002, Ross claims Rachel hasn't cooked since 1996. But in this episode, which aired in 1999, she cooked the dessert for everyone. Edit
    • Goof: When Rachel makes half an English Trifle and half a Shepherd's Pie, it is credited to the pages being stuck together. Considering that the layer of beef sautéed with peas and onions is in the middle of the concoction, this is impossible. There is no way Rachel could have been instructed to add other layers, such as bananas and whip cream, on top. Edit

    • Rachel: You guys, it was bananas, cream and beef! I just cannot believe that you ate that so that I wouldn't feel bad. Monica: Well, actually, I didn't eat mine. It's still in the bathroom. Joey: No it isn't, I ate that. Judy: And we left ours in Monica's bedroom. Joey: Nope, got it and (Points to Jack) got yours too. Edit
    • Ross: (After eating Rachel's trifle) It tastes like feet. Joey: I like it! Ross: Are you kidding?! Joey: What's not to like? Custard, good. Jam, good. Meat, good! Edit
    • Chandler: (About Ross's parents not liking him) Do you know why? Ross: Maybe it's because you're really sarcastic or maybe it's cause you-- Chandler: If people don't know, they shouldn't just guess! Edit
