7 times Phoebe Buffay was the sweetest friend
While Friends’ Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow) was clearly the outcast in the sitcom – the rest of the group had a pretty good time with families, while her mother died by suicide and her father went to prison, leaving her homeless – she pulled through time and time again for each and all her friends.
In season 5, she gave birth to her brother’s triplets because he couldn’t have children. In the episode, titled “The One Hundredth,” she cried after realizing she was emotionally attached to the babies. However, she knew this would happen, but did it anyway for her brother and his wife.
Years later, in season 8, she discovered that Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) was pregnant, but when she wasn’t ready to tell the group, Phoebe lied and said she was the one who was expecting. It wasn’t the biggest lie; she said the father was James Brolijn – but she still did her best to cover for Rachel.
Later in the episode, after it was revealed that Rachel was the actual pregnant one, Phoebe told her that the pregnancy test was negative. It was very positive, but when Rachel cried because it was negative, Phoebe told her, “Now you know how you really feel!”
