There are some funny and moving plotlines on Friends that couldn't be part of any other show, whether a sitcom or drama.

Jennifer Aniston and Sebastian Stan recently interviewed each other for Variety and Stan shared that out of the six main Friends characters, he related the most to Chandler Bing. Fans still discuss favorite characters, from the funniest to the most realistic, and Chandler and his pals Rachel Green, Phoebe Buffay, Joey Tribbiani, Monica Geller, and Ross Geller are beloved thanks to the unique storylines that they are a part of.

Whether Phoebe is performing a quirky song that only she could write or Rachel and Ross are arguing, there are many plotlines on Friends that couldn't happen on another sitcom.

In the season 1 episode "The One With The Butt," Rachel rearranges furniture, which upsets Monica, who tries not to let her misery show. Monica tells her friends "Hey, I can be a kook" and they tease her about how she has to pay her phone bill immediately among other things.

Monica is famously known as a character who loves keeping her apartment nice and tidy, and cleaning is one of her favorite activities. Only Monica could try to make her friends believe that she doesn't really love to clean.

One of the most hilarious Friends episodes is season 5's "The One With The Cop" as Ross buys a new couch and decides to carry it up his apartment stairs instead of getting it delivered. Ross runs into trouble right away and famously yells "Pivot!"

On the surface, a storyline about a character moving a couch might seem dull and too relatable and realistic to result in any laughs. The beauty of this Friends plotline is how charming Ross is, as he wants to impress Rachel and look like a tough person who can do anything. While this story might not work on every show, it's one of the most recognizable from Friends as Ross is so determined to succeed.

Janice Litman-Goralnik is known for being more intense than Chandler, especially about their relationship. But in season 3, Chandler tells Janice that he's ready to commit, suggesting that they go on vacation with her parents and live together. Janice doesn't love this idea and thinks that things are moving too quickly.

Although other sitcom characters are afraid of commitment, Chandler's decision to tell Janice that he can move forward in their relationship is unique to Friends because Chandler and Janice have had such an intense off and on-again romance.

Joey's hatred of sharing food is something that fans love the most about him, as it's hilarious that he cares so deeply about what he eats every day. When Joey's season 10 date Sarah eats his dinner, he can't believe it.

If this happened on another show, it would seem strange that Joey cared this much. But since this is Friends, viewers expect this quirky and silly behavior from Joey, who means well but can't help but be exactly himself. Joey stands behind his beliefs about not giving other people his food and he won't have it any other way.

Friends fans debate if Ross and Rachel are on a break, and the couple has a chaotic relationship in season 3. The characters feel differently about their situation, but it's clear that they are both in a lot of pain.

The phrase "we were on a break" has become one that viewers associate with Friends, and it's hard to imagine another sitcom featuring such a funny and quirky break-up storyline. Every time Ross and Rachel argue about this topic, it's moving and hard to pick sides as they both make good points.

Joey and Chandler have their own places in season 2, and while characters living by themselves might not be much of a plot for most dramas or sitcoms, it works here because they become upset about not being together all the time.

This storyline is perfectly funny yet heartfelt, showing how close the characters have become and how easily and naturally they get along and share a space. Since the point of Friends is to show people who care about each other through ups and downs, this plot feels unique to the show.

"Smelly Cat" is Phoebe's best Friends song and sums up her offbeat, vibrant and passionate personality. Phoebe loves being free-spirited and has trouble fitting into traditional molds.

In season 3, Phoebe finds out that Leslie, her songwriting partner, sold the rights to the song and it's now in a cat litter commercial. This could only happen here as it makes sense that Phoebe wouldn't know what her old partner was up to since she doesn't always focus on the most practical parts of life.

Rachel's season 4 plotline of trying to get Joshua Burgin to like her by wearing her high school cheerleading outfit is only something that this character would do. Rachel ends up feeling silly and embarrassed as her plan doesn't work out.

After breaking off her wedding to Barry Farber, Rachel tries to find her soulmate, dancing around her feelings for Ross and attempting to make things work with other people. It makes sense that Rachel would think that this was a good idea, as she often acts silly when she likes someone, and she also hangs out to the idea of being as popular as she was when she was a teenager.

One of the best Friends episodes about Monica and Chandler is season 5's "The One Where Everybody Finds Out." Phoebe is the character who discovers this relationship first.

Although characters move from friends to more on many TV shows, Friends deals with this storyline in its own offbeat way. It's memorable to watch the characters learn this big news at different times and it makes sense that Chandler and Monica would feel nervous to just come right and tell their pals what's going on. Everyone has strong emotions but ultimately, they're happy for their friends, which feels right.

Chandler and Joey's decision to take care of a baby chick in season 3 is adorable and charming, showing how much they have bonded and how much they love living together. The characters then start taking care of a duck as well.

Joey and Chandler's pets have become one of the most recognizable parts of the sitcom, and it works perfectly here. The characters are often silly and immature, but they start growing up as they take care of the animals, and it's sweet watching this character development.
