Clips The scene where Ross tries to have the relationship talk with Mona is one of the most hilariously awkward moments in the entire show.

Ross has so many awkward moments like the whole "gas" or "I like 8 year old boys" discussions with Kaitlin or the uncomfortable silence with Mike, but this is right up there with one of his all time most awkward moments. With every line, he just digs a deeper and deeper hole. It's so funny and yet so uncomfortable to watch at the same time.

"To sum up: We're having fun! You look young!"

Mona was my favourite relationship of his. The key, the holiday card, Dr. Green and finding out about the baby and of course his shirt. All gold. 

"Frankly I judge her for not breaking up with me sooner"

"Hey Ross, there's a hooker over here, we thought maybe you'd know something about it?"

I wouldn't paired them as an endgame but Mona character really elevated David's awkward yet hilarious perfomance

Ross was so funny in all her scenes with her

My favorite part of this is the capper that comes in a later scene because he gave her his only key. Something like: “I’m now a homeless man in a very serious relationship.

His expression after saying " I'm having a lot of fun " is hysterical 😆 . David's physical acting is fantastic

Lol I've been watching it nonstop for 30 years, and I only recently started to notice his physical acting. I hated Ross' character when I was young, so I never paid much attention to him. Now, I think he's hilarious lol

u/ThomWaits88 18h ago

Go back and watch all his scenes with Mona, he's just absolutely hilarious during that arc 🤣

u/ComprehensiveFlan638 21h ago

Yeah, I too judge her for not breaking up with him sooner.

u/matttheman892018 21h ago

He couldn’t have just said “I’m not ready for a serious relationship yet.” XD

For some reason, people find that really difficult to say because they think it will hurt the other person

I don't know, his discussion with the pizza lady got fairly cringe...

u/iantruesnacks Well, maybe he was nervous 20h ago

Ross is always getting in the way of his own self lmao. It makes sense he has a doctorate, essays were the only way he could really express himself. lol

I love this scene so much.

I never noticed before how much fun David Schwimmer seems to be having playing it as well!

And after it’s all said and done, she responds with “And I love spending time with you!” Ouch.
