Friends is one of the most iconic and timeless sitcoms of all time. True fans can quote just about every episode, and you definitely live by the spirit of Phoebe, the fashion advice of Rachel, or the wisdom of Ross. However, the gang at Central Perk are also great gurus of love.
Regardless of who your favorite couple is, they all have wise (and hilarious) words about relationships and love. In case you need a refresher, or are looking for some quirky advice, here are 10 of the funniest quotes about love from the series.
Lobster Love
"She's your lobster. Come on, you guys. It's a known fact that lobsters fall in love and mate for life. You can actually see old lobster couples, walking around their tank, you know, holding claws."
- Phoebe
This is definitely one of the most classic quotes of the entire series. We know that Rachel and Ross are each other's lobsters, but this wisdom is pretty absurd and is presented in its most quirky format by Phoebe. This love quote will probably never die, and we all hope we can find our own lobster. Apparently, we can always rely on Phoebe to give us the best advice with a side of humor.
When We First Met
"When I first meet somebody, it's usually panic, anxiety, and a great deal of sweating."
- Chandler
Chandler is definitely the most relatable character for anyone afraid of love and commitment. Still, he always gives us hilarious and honest quotes about warm fuzzy feelings.
This one is definitely relatable, and it's a pure description of falling in love. We've all been there, and it's simply because love can be a little intimidating.
Devastatingly Handsome
"He's so pretty, I want to cry."
- Rachel
Rachel is like all of us when we see someone attractive that we immediately begin to crush on. It's hilarious, but it's also incredibly relatable since these emotions can sweep us off our feet. Everyone deserves someone so pretty in their eyes that just the sight of them makes them cry, right? We know Rachel does, and this quote certainly made us laugh while simultaneously making us want to encourage her to chase after her love.
Home Sweet Home
"Look around you guys. This was your first home and it was a happy place filled with love and laughter but more importantly, because it was rent controlled it was a freaking steal."
- Chandler
This one isn't about romantic love, but it is definitely one of our favorites. We all want a home that we can call our own and make memories in with all of our loved ones. But what's the most important, is that the rent or mortgage is a steal, naturally. It's all about love, but saving money is the perfect cherry on top.
Feelings
Joey: "Have you told him how you feel?"
Phoebe: "Yes. (pauses) Not out loud."
Throughout the series, we can relate to every character about their loves and relationships at least once. Coming after Phoebe gets her heart stuck on a man, this quote is pure and sad.
Of course, we can admit it to ourselves, but out loud to that person? Forget it. The possibility of rejection slays us every time. We've all been Phoebe, and this love quote is certainly worth laughing along with.
Ross's Spelling
"Love. 'L' is for life. And what is life without love? 'O' is for 'oh wow!'. 'V' is for this very surprising turn of events, which I'm still fine with by the way. 'E' is for how extremely normal I find it that you two are together."
- Ross
Oh, Ross. Yes, this one might not be the most relatable, but it's definitely a hilarious (and actually really sad) quote about love. Ross has lost his true love to his best friend, and it's safe to say that he's not really fine with it. However, we like the acrostic poem, to be honest, and we'll always remember it when we're thinking about love.
It's a Moo Point
"If he doesn't like you, this is all just a moo point. It's like a cow's opinion, it just doesn't matter. It's moo."
- Joey
We know that Joey probably isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but this quote is actually both hilarious and kind of true.
While he doesn't grasp the English language very well, we can agree that what he's saying makes a lot of sense. Sitting in silence and waiting for someone else to speak up makes all your points 'moo.'
Love Your Quirks
"Sorry. You're not easy going, you're passionate, and they can say you're high maintenance, but it's okay, because I like maintaining you."
- Chandler
Monica is a bit high-strung, and she tries to elaborately plan out a way to make Chandler convince the girls that she isn't high maintenance. While this royally fails, it makes for a super adorable and hilarious quote by Chandler. This is what every person deserves in their life, humor mixed with lovey goodness, and someone willing to maintain us when we need it.
Confidence is Key
Rachel: "Go tell him he's cute. What's the worst thing that could happen?"
Monica: "He could hear me."
We've all been there. Sometimes there's a super attractive person that we want to talk to, but we also really, really don't want to talk to. Monica is incredibly relatable at this moment because we all have that fear. Love is scary, and we don't blame Monica for one second in this situation.
Desperate Honesty
"I'm hopeless and awkward and desperate for love!"
- Chandler
Chandler is always a good source of humor. While he struggled for love the most out of the main gang, he also let us have our fair share of hilarious quotes about relationships and gave us tons of feels. This quote is certainly no exception and will always make us laugh-sob. It's alright, Chandler, because you found your lobster in Monica.
