  • When Monica Dates 'Fun Bobby,' Makes Him Sober Up, And Then Drinks Around Him Because He Is Now 'Ridiculously Dull Bobby' on Random Character On 'Friends' Is a Really Bad Friend

    (#4) When Monica Dates 'Fun Bobby,' Makes Him Sober Up, And Then Drinks Around Him Because He Is Now 'Ridiculously Dull Bobby'

    Monica dates the social and hilarious “Fun Bobby" on and off in Seasons 1 and 2 of Friends. In the 10th episode of Season 2, "The One With Russ," the group notices that Bobby is perpetually drinking. Concerned, Monica convinces him to quit, but it turns out, sober Bobby isn’t as much fun. The group then dubs him “Ridiculously Dull Bobby” behind his back. On top of this, Monica starts drinking to deal with how dull he's become, which is a pretty insensitive thing to do around a recovering alcoholic. 

    Bobby was really just a people pleaser. He was constantly trying to live up to the nickname "Fun Bobby," but by convincing him to change his ways and then rejecting him for who is he afterward in a way that's extremely insensitive is the ultimate low.

  • When No One Except Phoebe Is Ready For Ross' Black Tie Event At The Museum on Random Character On 'Friends' Is a Really Bad Friend

    (#6) When No One Except Phoebe Is Ready For Ross' Black Tie Event At The Museum

    In "The One Where No One’s Ready" in Season 3, Ross invites all of his friends to an important function at the museum he works at. Not unlike how the group is late for Phoebe's birthday dinner in Season 9, Ross arrives at Monica’s apartment to find that only Phoebe is ready to leave. Chandler and Joey get in an argument over a chair - which results in a stain on Pheobe's dress - Monica gets wrapped up in some Richard-related hi-jinks, and Rachel takes forever to get ready, resulting in more Ross and Rachel conflict.

    This is just one example of how little these friends can care about the others' feelings.

  • When Chandler Uses Eddie’s Mental Illness To Get Rid Of Him As A Roommate on Random Character On 'Friends' Is a Really Bad Friend

    (#17) When Chandler Uses Eddie’s Mental Illness To Get Rid Of Him As A Roommate

    In the second season of Friends, Joey moves out of his and Chandler’s apartment, leaving Chandler to look for a new roommate (not that he needs one with all that statistical analysis and data reconfiguration money). Enter Eddie. In the beginning, the two seemingly hit it off, referring to each other as "bud." But things quickly go downhill: Eddie watches Chandler while he sleeps, imagines conversations that never happened, is apocalyptic forgetful, and enjoys spending time with human mannequin heads. 

    All of this frightens Chandler, prompting him to demand Eddie move out of the apartment. Unfortunately, Eddie is so plagued by his mental instability that the idea just doesn’t seem to resonate with him. A supposed lifetime of rejection and abandonment seems to have made Eddie latch on even more as he just can't fathom losing another friend. Instead of getting Eddie help or finding a more pragmatic option to rid himself of Eddie, Chandler allows Joey to move back in behind Eddie’s back. When Eddie comes home to find his stuff outside and the door locked, Chandler pretends not to know him. Eddie accepts this and apologies, thinking he has the wrong apartment - wandering off into the night, never to be seen again.  

  • When The Other Friends Laugh At ‘Fat Monica’ In Her Prom Dress on Random Character On 'Friends' Is a Really Bad Friend

    (#10) When The Other Friends Laugh At ‘Fat Monica’ In Her Prom Dress

    In retrospect, Friends’ whole “fat-shaming Monica” gag hasn’t aged well. Not only does everyone make fun of her for those retroactive gains - including her future husband - but the show acts as if skinny Monica is somehow better than “Fat Monica.” Monica’s weight and a subsequent eating disorder are clearly traumatic issues for the character. 

    The first and perhaps the crown champion of fat-shaming moments comes in the 14th episode of Season 2 - "The One With The Prom Video." In it, Monica finds a home video of her and Rachel getting ready for their senior prom. When “Fat Monica” comes on screen, Joey exclaims, “some girl ate Monica!” The group is quickly in hysterics, except for Monica, who just tells them to stop laughing.  

    The whole home-video plot point seems to exist to bring Ross and Rachel together over his past chivalry. What fades into the background is the story of a teenage girl, who most likely was teased throughout high school, just trying to feel pretty on prom night.

  • When The Group Doesn't Appreciate Monica's Thanksgiving Dinner on Random Character On 'Friends' Is a Really Bad Friend

    (#2) When The Group Doesn't Appreciate Monica's Thanksgiving Dinner

    Monica cooks an extravagant Thanksgiving dinner every year for her friends. And somehow every year it's messed up by something - mocking Monica, throwing her under the bus for something or other, or showing up late in blatant disregard for all her hard work. 

    In Season 1: Monica cooks different kinds of potatoes just to appease her friends. In response, her friends mock her when she says she feels overwhelmed and then show no sympathy when her food is ruined. 

    In Season 4: Monica cooks a full meal even after accidentally stabbing herself in the eye. Again, her friends mock her. 

    In Season 6: Monica and Ross’s parents visit for the holiday and their mysterious resentment toward Chandler comes up. (Spoiler: Ross used to blame Chandler for smoking.) Instead of allowing Monica and Chandler to enjoy Thanksgiving, Ross milks the truth and throws Monica under the bus unashamedly.

    In Season 10: Monica finally tells her friends she’s not cooking this year. However, after guilt-tripping her into doing it anyway, everyone shows up late: Rachel and Phoebe take Emma to a beauty pageant and Ross and Joey go to a Rangers game.

  • When Chandler And Joey Try To Get Rid Of Ross As Their Roommate on Random Character On 'Friends' Is a Really Bad Friend

    (#12) When Chandler And Joey Try To Get Rid Of Ross As Their Roommate

    Early in Season 5 in "The One Where Ross Moves In," Ross gets kicked out of his apartment because of the whole Emily situation. Having nowhere else to turn, Joey and Chandler allow Ross to move in with them. Ross buys an air purifier (and asks Joey and Chandler help pay for it), makes quiet-time gestures, records a corny message on their answering machine, and tapes over Joey’s Baywatch - all things that annoy his new roommates to no end.

    Instead of talking to Ross about their grievances, Joey and Chandler rush Ross’s search for a new home; taking him to an awful studio apartment and then trying to convince him to live there. Ross sees right through this and, dejected, agrees to move out. Having been selfish and shortsighted, Joey and Chandler immediately feel guilty about how they treated Ross. To make it right, they sabotage his applicant for the apartment by telling the landlord that he’s a pimp (among other things). When they finally talk to Ross, his response says it best: 

    Ross: So I'm a pimp, huh? It's okay. Look, I know sometimes I can be a pain in the [butt]. But you just have to talk to me. Tell me if something bothers you, okay. And, for my part, I'll really do everything I can to keep my annoying habits, you know, just - *quiet gesture*
