Wouldn’t you boycott all ‘‘pilgrim holidays’’ if your parents ruined your pumpkin pie dessert?
WHAT’S COOKIN':Pumpkin pie with Mockolate cookie-crumb crust, Mockolate chip cookies, Mockolate cranberry cake…
MEMORABLE QUOTE:Phoebe: “Oh, sweet Lord, this is what evil must taste like!”

Season 3: ‘The One With the Football’ (Nov. 21, 1996)
Six players.
Oh, and a hot Dutch girl named Margha.
Rachel and Chandler almost score Rachel during the football game; Chandler with the hot Dutch girl.
NBC
WHAT’S COOKIN’:Sibling rivalry!
MEMORABLE QUOTE:Ross (to Monica): “Cheater, cheater, compulsive eater!”
Chandler gets awfully cozy in his new digs (just don’t cover his air hole).

MEMORABLE QUOTE:Rachel: “Oh, I’m gonna take a nap.
Turkey makes me sleepy.”
/ Monica: “We haven’t eaten yet.”

Like, waddling-around, can’t-see-your-feet, fifteen-chins fat.
And way back when?
Rachel had a beak-shaped honker of a nose.

The guy dressed like he fell out of an episode ofMiami Vice.
WHAT’S COOKIN':Clean one turkey.
Garnish bird with oversized sunglasses and party hat.
NBC
Shake hips and chest.It’s sexy.Trust us.
MEMORABLE QUOTE:Joey: “I am thankful for this beautiful fall we’ve been having.
Oh, which reminds me: I am also thankful for thongs.”

(Makes you wonder how expensive those acting classes really are.)
Also this Thanksgiving, Monica invites disaster a.k.a.
It has ladyfingers, jam, custard…
Danny Feld/NBCU Photo Bank
Sounds delish, right?
Ross thinks it ‘‘tastes like feet.’’
But the culinary venture isn’t a complete failure Joey can’t wait for seconds.

MEMORABLE QUOTEJoey: “What’s not to like?
Meat?Gooooood.”
Get a pen and venture to beat Joey’s tally from the game at the center of this episode.
NBC
(He comes up with 56.)
Somehow he manages to do better than Phoebe, who’d rather name types of celery.
(She comes up with 1.)
(He comes up with two Nevadas.)
/ Rachel: “Huh.
A moo point?”
It’s ‘moo.'"
Membership was low, but rumors spread by the club were pretty damaging.
Don’t pick on the dork; he might grow up to look like Brad Pitt.
(Okay, probably not.
But he also might tell everyone at school you’re a hermaphrodite.)
WHAT’S COOKIN’:Brad Pitt, smokin' hot!
Also, Monica suggests skipping turkey because she hates all the leftovers.
Who hates Thanksgiving leftovers?!
That’s like hating Christmas morning or the house that gives king-size candy bars at Halloween!
Joey shares our sentiment, and demands Monica cook a 19-pound turkey, which he agrees to finish himself.
MEMORABLE QUOTE:Will Colbert: “Look at her standing there with those yams.
My two greatest enemies, Ross: Rachel Green and complex carbohydrates.”
She isn’t sure if Phoebe is a name or a funny sound.
She notes that Joey is much less attractive in real life than he was onDays of Our Lives.
She calls Emma, her own niece, Emmet.
Much to her chagrin, the plates are used without her approval.
Her expression makes us wonder what she loves more, her husband or the china.
/ Monica: “Oh, how nice.
Maybe later we can all go blow our noses on my wedding dress!”
MEMORABLE QUOTE:Rachel: “Happy Thanksgiving!”
/ Phoebe: “Oh yeah!
Happy needless-turkey-murder day.”
