Thanksgiving — or, more specifically, Friendsgiving — is one of the most social holidays of the year, and with every group dinner comes an opportunity to ’gram about your food and your friends. You might choose to caption your snapshot with something heartfelt, or you might be looking for something lighter.
From the annual Friends feast to Gossip Girl’s dinnertime drama, we can always count on a Thanksgiving episode to bring some added epic moments, heart, and several servings of hilarious sound bites. And more recently, Bachelorette alum John Paul Jones joined forces with Honeybaked Ham to record what may have been the first Friendsgiving-themed EP in Spotify history. There are a lot of on-theme, snarky quote options out there. Here are some of our favorites.
