Who's kissing who?

For no particular reason, I was contemplating which Friend kissed the most of the other Friends. I think I've come up with Rachel, having kissed or been kissed by all five others.

Rachel, kissed or kissed by 5:
  Ross (duh!)
  Chandler (when they were still keeping Chandler/
    Monica secret, he kissed all 3 girls)
  Joey
  Phoebe (who wanted to see what the fuss was all
    about)
  Monica (for one minute, off-screen, to get the
    apartment back)

Monica, 3: Rachel Chandler Ross (when it turned out they were each other's first kiss at a college kegger)

Phoebe, 3: Rachel Chandler Joey (New Years, IIRC, when Chandler/Monica was secret)

Ross, 3: Rachel Monica Joey (to help him practice for a gay part)

Joey, 4: Phoebe Rachel Ross Chandler (also one New Years, when Chandler was hollering "Somebody kiss me!")

Chandler, 4: Monica Rachel Phoebe Joey

Anyone remember any others?

Phoebe - Joey: (as above) and when Joey thought Phoebe was Ursula, and when Joey was practicing his kissing. Phoebe - Ross: on the pool table in the bar in what became Central Perk when Ross realised his marriage was over. Monica - Joey: when Joey offered to be sacked from her new restaurant, they had a quick practice in the appartment ("Does anyone have a problem with that?"). She gives him a friendly kiss on the lips just before she leaves.

OK, and also when Phoebe found out she was a year older than she thought, and had never had a "perfect kiss," and Joey gave her one. Doesn't change the score, though.

I don't remember this. Was it in one of those "What If?" episodes where Monica is still fat? If it was a "real" episode, then Ross and Phoebe both rise to 4.

Don't remember this one, either, but it raises Monica to 4, and Joey to 5 . . . tied with Rachel for top honors, which makes more sense.

Ya know, in a group of 3 men and 3 women, to have each of them have kissed a minumum of 4 of the other, including same sex and same *family*, seems to say something about these guys. Not sure what that is, though. The only pairs that DIDN'T kiss, it seems, are Monica/Phoebe and Ross/Chandler, unless someone can recall an instance.

Don't think it was a "What if" episode, was it the one where they were all in Central Perk and Janice asked them how they all met up? Definitely not where Monica was "fat". Funnily enough, I think it's called "The One With The Flashback"

Look at episode "The One With The Girl From Poughkeepsie"

I don't remember the Rachel/Phobe one, when/where was that? OK, the Monica/Rachel one (where they kissed for one minute to get the appartment back) we never actually saw, same goes for the Monica/Ross one.

Is that the one where Ross takes the long train rides to see her? At the end, he winds up in Nova Scotia or something?

Rachel and Phoebe kissed at the end of the episode where Rachel's old college chum (who called her "Ray-Ray") was in town, and Rachel had to convince her friends that the two of them once kissed at a drunken Luau. The chum was played by Winona Ryder. The chum pretended not to remember it, until Rachel kissed her, then the chum (jeez, what *was* her name?) revealed that she thought about the kiss all the time, and was in love with Rachel, but didn't think that Rachel reciprocated. Which, of course, she didn't. "I'm just a good kisser!" After Chum leaves, Phoebe kisses Rachel, "I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about." "Well?" asks Rachel. Phoebe replies, "I've had better."

The very same.

Ah yes, I remember now. Thanks.

Ross/Chandler is never shown, but however it is suggested in The one where chandler can't remember which sister. When Chandler tries to figure out which of Joey's sisters he had kissed at their party the night before, this dialogue takes place:

CHANDLER: Venonica! Look, it's gotta be Veronica, the girl in the red skirt. I definately stuck my tongue down her throat.

MONICA: That was me.

CHANDLER: Look, when I've been drinking, sometimes I tend to be a little overly friendly, and I'm sorry.

MONICA: That's okay.

PHOEBE: That's all right.

ROSS: That's okay.

Although it's not said directly, the joke is that Chandler had been kissing other people than, as it turns out, Mary Angela - including at least Monica, Rachel and Ross.

Not sure if it counts, though.

Oops. My bad. Rachel says: "That's all right" - not Phoebe. Sorry.

Their first kiss was at the laundromat.

She kissed him first in the flashback mentioned below.

This isn't a very good example, since (as you say) it was off-screen.

The two women kissed on-screen when Monica set off to London.

Monica kissed Phoebe when she set off to London.

She kissed Joey when they were married, and he was fat.

She kissed Ross (and nearly had sex with him) on the pool table when they flashed back to a year before the series began.

Monica as above.

Phoebe as above.

Chandler is tricky.

Monica as above.

Chandler is supposed to have kissed Ross when he was very drunk at Joey's birthday party, but this was off-screen.
