Popcultured Classic Episode: The One With the Thanksgiving Flashbacks
This episode, also known as “The One With All the Thanksgivings” is the most well-known Friends Thanksgiving episode. It was in Season 5 of the series. The gang is reminiscing about their worst Thanksgivings (I know, I know- who does that?). But each person has a story to share.
Chandler reflects on the Thanksgiving when his parents tell him they are getting divorced. Joey recounts the time he put a turkey on his head. But it’s Monica’s story that’s the worst. In a series of flashbacks, her first time meeting Chandler is shown. When he calls her fat, she tried to seduce him to seek revenge. Instead, with the slip of a kitchen knife, he ends up in the E.R. with a missing toe.
The best part of this episode is the 1980’s get-ups that Ross and Chandler are wearing– they look straight out of Miami Vice!
