Published on May 24, 2017. Updated June 8, 2020Friends remains one of the most popular sitcoms of all time, even 13 years after it went off the air. The show started back in 1994 and ran for 10 seasons. Viewers fell in love with the incredible cast who made up the famous Friends gang as the show spawned some of the most iconic television couples ever like Ross and Rachel and Monica and Chandler.

12. The One with the Flashback (season 3, episode 6)
In the episode titled “The One with the Flashback” Monica is upset because Phoebe moved out of the apartment due to her obsessive behavior. She begins to feel rejected and asks Chandler if this is why she can’t find a boyfriend. He’s quick to step in and comfort her with the sweetest words. He gave her a huge and said to her: “You are one of my favorite people. And the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known in real life.” This scene feels a little bit like foreshadowing to their relationship!
11. The One with the Jellyfish (season 4, episode 1)
In the beginning of the series, Monica and Chandler didn’t get a lot of funny scenes together, so this one is special! Back in season 4, before they started dating, Chandler stepped up to the plate and peed on Monica after she gets stung by a jellyfish. This just goes to show how close these two are and that Chandler has unknowingly always been there for her — no matter what it entails!
10. Their Solemn Pact (season 1, episode 23)
Ross is welcoming his first child, Ben, with his ex-wife Carol and Monica becomes extremely aware of the fact that her clock is ticking when it comes to getting married and having children. In an effort to reassure her, Chandler offers to make a pact with her that if the two are still single by the time they are 40, they’ll get married. Of course, the idea that she’d still be single at that age ends up freaking Monica out even more! Luckily, neither one had to wait that long and they didn’t need a special pact to bring them together.
9. First Romantic Night in London (season 4, episode 24)
The friends all fly to London for Ross’ wedding to Emily, but it was Monica and Chandler’s surprising hook up that ended up stealing the show!

7. Monica and Chandler End Up Together in an Alternate Reality (season 6, episode 16)
