I Ranked My Top-50 Favorite Phoebe Moments From "Friends," And I Can't Stand How Much I Love Her

Phoebe's misadventures don't always go so well with the group. And let's face it – her relationships outside of the group are rather odd. This is a classic example of both.

So this isn't an instance where Phoebe is actively doing something weird; it's something weird happening to Phoebe. Point being, finding a "tiny little hitchhiker" in a can of soda would happen to Phoebe. The funny and purely ~Phoebe~ thing about this her reaction: "Those stupid soda people gave me $7,000 for the thumb, and on my way over here I stepped in gum. What's up with the universe?"

If you need a quick introduction to Phoebe Buffay's character, just listen to her sing along to Ross' bagpipe paying.

This is yet another instance that shows how Phoebe uses her brain. Phoebe doesn't simply stare at things. She's not just looking at a pencil. Obviously, she's trying to move it with her mind.

We all know that Phoebe thinks on another level. But can she read minds? Or just Joey's?

Phoebe takes a flaw and turns it into self-confidence. Love that for her.

While her problems aren't always relatable, this one certainly is, and Phoebe takes it on as such. It shows her ability to take an ordinary conflict and make it funny.

When the friends all make more New Year's resolutions, Phoebe proposes that she's going to ring in the 21st century by learning how to fly a commercial jet. Go big or go home, right?

A cute guy on the street is struck by traffic and goes into a coma. The situation itself is pretty odd, but instead of going against it, Phoebe runs with it by going after him. Her conviction plays on Monica's competitive nature. It's one of those instances where we really see how these friends work with – or against – each other.

Phoebe is unable to shake the death of her elderly massage client. Naturally, she believes that the client's spirit has possessed her body. The only logical way to get Rose out of her body is to go to a lesbian wedding.

Another hippie moment when Phoebe protests Joey selling Christmas trees. While the woodlands aren't saved by the end of the episode, Phoebe's faith in her friends is.

While this is one of the many examples of Phoebe's interesting name suggestions, it's also an example of her ability to lighten up a serious situation.

Joey isn't entertaining Phoebe on their cross-country road trip, but maybe the hitchhiker they pick up will. Classic Phoebe, making friends with strangers. Don't worry; he's not a rapist or a murderer. She asked.

Phoebe has a natural gift of adding a dark twist to a cheerful moment. While her friends are used to her strange behavior, she's still able to catch them (and us) off guard.

Phoebe's past comes back to haunt her again, but this time she sees how it's affected her friend. She once again uses her past to empathize with others, bringing her closer to Ross in the end.

When Phoebe tries to do good by volunteering as a holiday bell-ringer, people defile her bucket. Her solution is to do what she knows best: go rogue. She takes bell-ringing to the next level, and in typical Phoebe fashion, she doesn't take anyone's crap (or cigarette butts, trash, or urine... ew).

Ursula covers up who she really is again, and Phoebe takes the hit. This time it becomes more personal – and gets kind of creepy – when Phoebe falls for Ursula's fiancé.

Phoebe uses Ross's son to get Sting tickets when she finds out that one of his classmates is Sting's son. The only catch is she must pretend to be Ben's mom. Ross is able to score the tickets as long as Phoebe's doesn't break her restraining order from Sting's wife. You gotta work with what you have.

Phoebe's grandmother's infamous cookie recipe comes from a very famous french pastry chef... or does it?

Emotions are on high when Phoebe's grandma dies and she meets her dad all at the same time. But Phoebe knows to take her time, put on her 3-D glasses, and grieve.

Phoebe's thinking is far-out, but this time she goes too far. When getting a job on Joey's soap opera, she takes on her role by coming up with a long backstory. It becomes evident that Phoebe is too much of her own character to play another.

In this classic Phoebe moment, Phoebe refuses to be a sell-out musician, and let's just say she's pretty unconventional. Her hit song is "Smelly Cat", and if you listen closely, the tail-end of "Smelly Cat" somewhat resembles Phoebe's version.

Phoebe makes out with Kenny the Copy Guy, but she thinks he's Ralph Lauren. How was she supposed to know?

Phoebe's optimism about human connection is put to the test when she realizes she has nothing in common with her estranged brother. Well, maybe not nothing. He's also super weird. Maybe even weirder than Phoebe? Regardless of their differences, she stands by this relationship and it becomes her strongest relationship with family in the show.

One can only have so much elegance at their bachelorette party until the stripper needs to come in. Of course, in this case, the stripper isn't what you'd expect. It's not what Phoebe expects either, but she makes the most of it in the end – as Phoebe usually does.

If anyone had a secret marriage, it would be Phoebe. Sure, it's quirky, but it's also something that she did out of that pure Phoebe kindness and devotion she has for others. It's a moment where we see some of the struggle within the weirdness of Phoebe.

When "they know we know," and "they know we know they know," but "they don't know that we know they know we know," Phoebe takes it to the ultimate level, using her powers of seduction. She shows her bra and does a sexy dance, which is just enough to make Chandler and Monica spill the beans.

Phoebe's sad childhood comes into play again, as does her child-like ambitions. One of the most touching moments between Ross and Phoebe is when he buys her the bike of her dreams and teaches her to ride it.

Leave it to Phoebe when you need a last-minute excuse. What is a phalange? Who knows. But if there's something wrong with a plane's phalange, you get off the plane! We can all thank Phoebe for reuniting Rachel with her lobster.

Phoebe gains some closure in the most Phoebe way ever. She finds a missing male cat named Julio, and she believes he's her deceased adoptive mother. Giving up her "mother" to its owner becomes a deeply touching Phoebe moment.

This was a brilliant reflection on Phoebe's unconventional childhood. Similar to the time she learns how to ride a bike, she does it with the help of her friends. But unlike most dollhouses, Phoebe's is more imaginative than the usual child's – with a giant life-sized dog and an attic ghost. Also, it's built on both radioactive waste and an ancient Native American burial ground. Watch out for dinosaur attacks and enjoy the licorice and aroma rooms before the house burns down.

Rachel adjusts to living with Phoebe, especially when it means tolerating Phoebe's very unique running posture. Weird or fun? A question we're always asking about Phoebe.

Phoebe and her brother's relationship goes to the next level when she agrees to give birth to him and his middle-aged wife's baby. She's skeptical at first (like any normal person) but agrees to carry their baby when she thinks it'll bring them happiness. Phoebe's pregnancy is both the weirdest pregnancy on the show and incredibly heart-warming.

The final and most Phoebe moment of them all is when Phoebe finds out you can change your name to anything you want. After careful deliberation, she goes all in and has fun with it, famously naming herself "Princess Consuela Banana Hammock." Even better, Mike proves to Phoebe that he loves her as Phoebe when he names himself "Crap Bag." Could they be any more perfect for each other? In the end, it's Phoebe she is and Phoebe she will always be.
