14. The Cat Mom Episode
Of any story, one episode of Friends remains the weirdest. It’s the one where Phoebe decided a cat was her reincarnated mother. Phoebe was a weirdo so it worked, but the episode had fans scratching their heads. The backstory was that co-creator Marta Kauffman had recently lost her own mother when they started tossing around ideas for that particular script. None of the writers wanted to tell Kauffman what they thought due to her fragile emotional state so they went ahead and wrote the episode.
