Jack Geller, Judy Geller, Ross Geller, and Monica Geller make up one of the weirdest and funniest families on TV. Friends was a hit TV show in the 90s that was focused on a group of six adults in their late 20s, trying to navigate through life in New York City when it came to dating, friendship, employment, and more.

13 Monica Actually Opened Her Wedding Gifts Without Chandler?

When a couple gets married, one of the most exciting things for them to do, aside from the actual wedding ceremony, is to open their gifts together!

12 Ross Said He'd Only Been With Carol But He Also Hooked Up With A Housekeeper In College

Ross told everyone that Carol was the first woman he’s been with, but in a liter anecdote, it was revealed that he hooked up with a housekeeper that cleaned the college dorms where he lived.
