the Chick and the Duck
In "The One With a Chick and a Duck." (season 3), Joey and Chandler adopt a chick from an animal sanctuary, misunderstanding a news report about people who buy chicks and then find they cannot properly care for them. Encouraged by Phoebe to return the chick, but discovering that the animals would be euthanized, Chandler returns home with the chick and a duck. Chandler names the chick Yasmine and refers to the duck as Dick. Chandler and Joey treat the chick and the duck as their own children.
CHANDLER: (to the duck) You stay out here and think about what you did!
Here's a video about "The One With a Chick and a Duck."
Mr. Treeger
Mr. Treeger is the superintendent of Monica's building. Treeger first appears in "The One Where Heckles Dies", where he shows Heckles's lawyer where Monica and Rachel live. He next appears in "The One with Phoebe's Dad", where Monica thinks he is playing hardball by not mending her broken radiator. In "The One with the Ballroom Dancing", he threatens to have Monica and Rachel evicted unless Joey helps him practice ballroom dancing to impress a woman. In "The One with the Free Porn", he cleans the shower drain of Chandler and Joey's newly-won apartment, and warns them never to turn off their TV after they start receiving free porn. In his final appearance in "The One Where Rachel Tells Ross", he has a fireman break down the door to Monica's apartment after Joey tells him he smelled gas.
Mr.Treeger's homour is kind of ironic and humiliating:
[Scene: Garbage room: Mr. Treeger is unclogging the trash chute as Rachel enters.]
RACHEL: Oh! Hey, Mr. Treeger.
MR.TREEGER: Hey.
(Rachel opens the trash chute, winces at the smell, and throws the garbage bag in. She then tries to throw the pizza box in, but since it’s so big she jams it into the opening and it prevents the door from closing. She then turns around too see Mr. Treeger watching her.)
MR.TREEGER: What are you doing?
RACHEL: Ummm. Oh! I’m sorry. (She grabs the box and offers him a piece.) It’s a little old but…
MR.TREEGER: No! You’re clogging up the chute that I spent a half-hour unclogging!
RACHEL: I’m sorry. I didn’t...I don’t come in here a lot.
MR.TREEGER: Oh yeah, of course you don’t!
RACHEL: No.
MR.TREEGER: ‘Cause you’re a little princess! "Daddy, buy me a pizza. Daddy, buy me a candy factory. Daddy, make the cast of Cats sing Happy Birthday to me…"

Monica's apartment
Together with boys' apartment and the coffee house Central Perk, Monica's apartment is where most of the episodes take place.
The walls are painted purple in the living room. There is a gold frame around Monica's peephole (the door also is the same purple as the apartment) This frame was originally a mirror, and one of the crew members broke it. It was temporarily hung on the door, but they loved it and the frame stayed there ever since. This frame has become an icon of Friends.
The apartment has an open plan, mainly comprised of the kitchen and the living room. The apartment has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a balcony in addition to the main living area. There is a door beyond the bathroom that is never opened, except for The One With The Secret Closet, in which it is revealed that it is full of Monica's disorganized junk.
There is a vintage French poster advertising a rocking horse over the television area. It is one of the advertising posters that Jules Cheret designed for a department store in Paris that was known as "Aux Buttes Chaumont". The French Jouets poster is specifically advertising children's toys ("jouets" means toys) and features a beautifully decorated rocking horse, one of the most desired and expensive gifts a child could receive in those days. It is one of the most recognizable props from the show.
The following are residents of Monica's apartment at one time or another during the series:
Monica, the most notorious owner of the apartment. Being the only resident at the very start of the first season. Except for the brief period when she and Rachel swapped apartments with Chandler and Joey, she lives here during all ten seasons.
Phoebe is Monica's roommate for some time before the start of the series (as shown in The One With The Flashback). However, Monica's obsessive cleanliness drives her crazy and she moves out. She does, however, go back to live with Monica after the destruction of her apartment due to fire (in The One Where Ross Dates A Student), moving out to stay at Ross' after Monica and Chandler's engagement before eventually returning to her apartment;
Rachel moves in with Monica after she runs on Barry at the altar in The Pilot. She is Monica's longest-lasting roommate during the series until the sixth season; when she learns that Monica and Chandler will be living together, she moves in with Phoebe.
Chandler and Joey swap apartments with the girls for a brief period during the fourth season. They eventually move back to their own place after watching Monica and Rachel make out for a minute.
Chandler moves in with Monica at the start of the sixth season, where he stays until the end of the series, when the couple move out to their new house;
Ross Geller stayed there with his grandmother for a summer to attend dance classes.
Jack and Erica Geller-Bing are probably the shortest-lasting residents of Monica's apartment, residing for a few days before moving to their new house.
Did you know?
·All six members of the main cast have, at one point or another, lived in the apartment. Ross, however, is the only one who is not actually shown to live here.
·The apartment is numbered 5 for the first part of the series; however, after being pointed out that it's situated too high to have such a small number, it's re-numbered to 20.
·Every Thanksgiving episode (missing in Season 2) and every Christmas episode (missing in Season 10) takes place at Monica's apartment.
·Monica's and the guest bedroom sets were constructed separately from the apartment. On the open plan set, only the entrances to these rooms were constructed. Similarly, the stairs in the hall leading up and down were partly constructed. It is unknown if the bathroom was partly constructed (although its small size leaves to be implied that it followed suit to the bedrooms).

Ben
Ben is Ross and Carol's son. He's raised by his two mothers, Carol and Susan, but also spends some time with Ross, who introduces him to the Jewish tradition, like in the one with the Hanukka, when Ross tries again and again to make Ben interested in the Jewish stuff, he even dresses himself as a (in Chandler's words) "weird turtle-man", hahahaha. Actually Ross's costume pretends to be the Holiday Armadillo, a kind of Santa for the Jewish or something.
ROSS: So, Ben, you uh, you know what holiday is coming up, don't ya?
BEN: Christmas.
ROSS: Yep, and you know what other holiday is coming up?
BEN: Christmas eve.
ROSS: Yes, but also... Hanukkah! See, you're part Jewish, and Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday.
BEN: Santa has reindeers that can fly!
ROSS Right, um, but, on Hanukkah, Hanukkah is a celebration of a miracle. See, years and years ago there were these people called the Maccabees...
BEN: (singing) Jingle bells, jingle bells...
ROSS: (interrupts him) Okay, that's right, yes, but on Hanukkah, uh, we sing, uh Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made you out of clay.
BEN: (singing) Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer...
ROSS: (interrupts him again) Okay, it's not a contest.
Ben seems to be a naughty boy, that likes to play and have fun with adults. Rachel knows that's right... check out this 5 minutes long video, it's worth to see:
And in the next video (a interview to Ben) I love when he says:
"My favorite cast member to do scenes with is Jennifer... Cuz shes hot!"
ROSS: So, Ben, you uh, you know what holiday is coming up, don't ya?
BEN: Christmas.
ROSS: Yep, and you know what other holiday is coming up?
BEN: Christmas eve.

Frank Buffay Jr.
Frank is Phoebe's half brother by their father. He first appears in "The One with the Baby on the Bus" as a stranger who leaves a condom rather than money in Phoebe's guitar case when she is singing in the street, and then comes back to retrieve it.
In "The One with the Bullies" Phoebe meets him after finding the courage to knock on her father's suburban door, but discovers he walked out several years ago. Frank visits the city in "The One with Frank Jr" where he thinks Phoebe works as a whore. In this episode we can see that Frank Jr. is a little... weird... the conversation between Phoebe and Frank is soooo interesting... or, at least, funny.
PHOEBE: So, um, what kinda things do you like to do at home?
FRANK: Melt stuff.
PHOEBE: Okay so, by melting, you meant... melting.
FRANK: Yeah.
PHOEBE: So is it like art?
FRANK: Yeah, you can melt art... Hey, can I use your phone?
PHOEBE: Um, yeah sure. Why you wanna call your Mom?
FRANK: No, I wanna melt it.
In "The One with the Hypnosis Tape", he announces his engagement to Alice Knight, his old home economics teacher and 26 years his senior.
Talking about Alice:
Joey: You're 18, she's 44. When you're 36, she's going to be 88!
Frank Jr.: You don't think I know that?
In "The One with Phoebe's Uterus", they ask Phoebe to be a surrogate mother to their child, which turns out to be triplets in "The One Hundredth."
Frank makes a final appearance in "The One Where Ross is Fine", when he and the triplets meet Phoebe at Central Perk. Here's the video with the las appearance of this surreal character:

Rachel and Ross
[Rachel is upset that Ross is telling her to hurry up.]
RACHEL: This isn't about the movie theater. This is about you stealing my wind.
ROSS: Excuse me... your wind?
RACHEL: How do you expect me to grow if you won't let me blow?
[silence. Ross doesn't understand a word]
ROSS: You know, um... I don't have a... have a... problem with that.
Today we get ourselves emotional and talk about probably the main storyline of FRIENDS, we talk about Rachel and Ross.
Ross apparently had a crush on Rachel since ninth grade, and when Rachel moved to the city, Ross tried hinting that he would like a relationship with her, but other people were involved, like Rachel's ex-fiancé Barry and Paolo, a man she met during an electrical blackout. Anyway Rachel and Ross eventually got together, in "The One With the Prom Video", and dated for a year. Their year long relationship had many bumps in the road, like Ross getting jealous of Mark, a man who offered Rachel a job. However, after an argument on their anniversary about Rachel's constant working, she suggested taking "a break". Ross, thinking Rachel was ending the relationship, got drunk and slept with someone else. When Rachel found out, she ended things with Ross.
From then on, the two shared an on/off relationship. When Ross dated Phoebe's bald friend Bonnie, Rachel was clearly jealous when she saw that Bonnie now had long hair and convinced her to shave her head again. Ross asked Rachel why she did it and she admitted she still had feelings for him and found it hard seeing him with other women. While Ross broke up with Bonnie, Rachel wrote Ross a letter, asking him to take responsibility for their break-up.
ROSS: And for the record, it took two people to break this relationship!
RACHEL: Yeah! You and that girl from the copy place, which yesterday you took full responsibility for!
ROSS: I didn't know what I was taking responsibility for! I didn't finish the letter!
RACHEL: What?
ROSS: I fell asleep!
RACHEL: You fell a-SLEEP?!
ROSS: It was five-thirty in the morning! And you had rambled on for eighteen pages! Front and back! [leaves the room, then turns around] And by the way, y-o-u-apostrophe-r-e is "you are". Y-o-u-r is "your"!
RACHEL: I can't believe I even thought of getting back together with you! We are soooo over!
ROSS: [fakes beginning of sniveling and interrupts it saying...] FINE BY ME!
RACHEL: And those little spelling tips will come in handy when you're home on Saturday nights playing scrabble with Monica!
MONICA: Hey!
RACHEL: Sorry! But I feel bad about all that sleep you'll miss wishing you were with me!
ROSS: Oh, no, don't worry about me "falling asleep". I still have your letter!
Rachel's history of admitting her feelings for Ross when he is with another woman happened again when Ross met Emily. Ross and Emily got engaged after a month and plan to marry in London. Rachel doesn't go, claiming she has to work but later tells Monica and Phoebe that watching them marry would be too painful. However, she changes her mind and flies to London to tell Ross that she loves him but sees them kissing just before the ceremony. She gives them her blessing instead, resulting in Ross using the wrong name at the altar. Obviously the marriage ends there. Later, on a trip to Las Vegas, Rachel and Ross get married after getting drunk together. They divorce as the marriage can't be annulled, due to false information in the paperwork and their previous relationship. Consequently, they must file for divorce, and when Rachel signs the papers, she admits that it was her idea to get married. Rachel and Ross had a baby at the end of Season 8, named Emma. She was conceived after a one-night stand during Season 7. Although Ross wanted to get married, they stayed friends and lived together to raise Emma.
Ross finds out Rachel's pregnant:
In Season 10, Rachel is offered a job in Paris. At her going-away party, she says goodbye to everyone except Ross and they have a fight and Ross is upset about how Rachel wants things to end between them. Rachel tells him that she can't say goodbye because if she thinks about leaving, then she'll want to stay because Ross is so important to her. After the fight, they sleep together. In the morning, Ross thinks they are back together and is stunned when Rachel says "it was the perfect way to say goodbye," leaving Ross devastated and hurt. He chases her to the airport and tells Rachel that he still loves her. Rachel gets on the plane anyway, shocked and unable to deal with his feelings for her. Ross goes home, heartbroken, to find a message from Rachel on his answering machine telling him that she loves him too.
ROSS: Oh my god. Did she get off the plane? Did she get off the plane?
RACHEL: [coming into the room] I got off the plane.
ROSS: You got off the plane.
RACHEL: I do love you.
ROSS: I love you, too, and I am never letting you go again.
RACHEL: Okay, because this is where I want to be. Okay, no more of this, I don't wanna mess this up again.
ROSS: Me either, okay, we are done being stupid.
RACHEL: It's you and me, all right, this is it? You and me, this is it.
ROSS: This is it. Unless we're on a break.
[awkward pause]
ROSS: [to himself] Don't make jokes now...

Bamboozled
A hilarious game Joey has to learn, because he's about to be the host of a tv show called Bamboozled, and so, to practise, he teaches Ross and Chandler how to play and have fun for a while... till Ross gets serious and plays as a real Geller.
CHANDLER: This game makes no sense!
ROSS: Y’know what? You’re just upset because you’re losing.
CHANDLER: Oh come on Ross, I think we’re all losers here.
JOEY: All right. Chandler, you can either spin the wheel or pick a Google card.
CHANDLER: Let me think. Let me think... Oh! I don’t care.
Check out the video, it's much better.
