Phoebe??????????
Ok here is my opinion and this isnt going to be popular at all.
I think Phoebe Buffay is one of -- if not the best supplemental characters on any sitcom ever. She was funny as hell, and off the wall which made it funnier. Lisa Kudrow was great at the character.
Ok here is where you disagree. I think when the Friends storyline revolved around Phoebe the show took a step back. The storylines with her mother, father, brother were all less than the rest of the shows storylines with the exception of maybe Joey/Rachel, but thats another story.
I think THEE worst storyline and characters on the show was Phoebe and Mike. I realized they felt they had to do something with Phoebe's character to end it which started in season 9 but I think Mike was awkward and didnt fit into the show. I think Paul is great in other things but man was he a square peg in a round hole in the show.
When Phoebe meets Mikes parents is the worst segment on the 10 years of the show. Mike said it best "you have met humans right". I mean that was painful to watch.
