19 Lessons Ross and Rachel Taught Us About Love

NBC

When we think of TV's best (and funniest) couples, there's no argument that Ross and Rachel make the list (or even top it). They're not your Disney fairy-tale lovers, but their happy ending comes pretty darn close. We've cheered for them during their highs and cried with them during their lows, but we never gave up on the dynamic duo. They mimic a real-life relationship (cue the breakups-and-makeup-sex cycle) that most of us can relate to, which is why, even a decades after Friends ended (and two since it began), the lessons we learned about love are still fresh. We have to thank Ross and Rachel for all they've taught us and remember that finding our own lobsters takes work.
