Worst storylines?

The worst story lines for me have to be:

Ross being jealous of Mark.
-In fact, I just hated Ross and Rachel's relationship when they were first together - I wish they only got together at the end of the show

Emily.
-Literally just her being in the show full stop.

Rachel thinking Joey proposed.
-Honesty... such a ridiculous situation that both Rachel and Joey put themselves in. Its really not a thing that would happen to anyone (especially people that's are not in a relationship).

Ross against a male nanny.
-First of all, how can anyone's masculinity be THAT fragile? Jeez. First time i watched that episode (i was about 12) i just couldn't figure out why he was so uncomfortable with it. Ross can be so annoying at times.

That's all i can think at the top of my head.
One more thing i would add is the fact that Ross was very jealous with Rachel but then literally hours after breaking up he slept with someone? Now i hate the whole "break" debate and storyline but that's just something i find weird and annoying.

The show really could have gone without the "Break" storyline in my opinion.

There was a lot of dumb shit in the later seasons. Worst of all was the sharks. What the hell were they thinking with that one? I'm supposed to believe Monica is too dumb to understand Chandler just switched channels, and automatically thinks he's into sharks?

The rumor and the "I hate Rachel" club. Unfunny and stupid, if that rumor was such a big deal, don't you think we would have heard about it already?

I agree with Rachel thinking Joey proposed and the male nanny.

Joey marrying both Chandler/Monica and Phoebe/Mike.

Phoebe and Mike. She should have just married David.

Didn't like the whole Phoebe and her sister not getting along storyline either.

- The episode where Phoebe thinks her mom is a cat. So stupid! Everybody was ganging up on Ross and he had to apoligize to the cat. Hate this episode.

- Didn't care Ross dating that college student storyline

- Kathy storyline
I never liked this storyline. I hated Kathy, the actress, her haircut.

- JoshuAA

- Mike
I like Paul Rudd, but man Mike was so damn boring. I don't think Paul Rudd and Lisa Kudrow had any chemistry.

- Janine
Elle McPherson was awful and can't act. She was so dry and had no chemistry with Matt Leblanc. Her character is not into Joey. Then all of a sudden she has feelings for Joey and want to kiss him on New Years Eve. And they she hate Monica and Chandler for no reason.

- Charlie
Yawn.... They only added this character because the show was getting criticized for the lack of diversity. She was about as boring as watching paint dry, she wasn't funny and felt outta place on the show. She didn't have any chemistry with Ross or Joey. Aisha Tyler was so wooden and dry. She had all the charisma and screen prescene of a plank of wood.

- Emma
Never cared for Rachel getting pregnant storyline. I never bought Rachel as a mother. And that baby had zero impact on the show. Once she was born we barely saw that damn baby. She was always shipped to Rachel's mothers or Rachel holding a baby monitor to remind us she has a baby.

- Joey and Rachel romance
All of a sudden Joey is in love with Rachel? Gimme a break! They had zero chemistry and was a filler storyline to drag out the Ross and Rachel getting back to togehter.

Ross / Elizabeth and her dad

I find it boring and always skip those episodes
