OMG Friends

Nine hundred ninety one times.

That's the answer to this question: How many times was "oh my God" said in the Friends TV series? I'm a fan of the show but the series averaged more than four OMGs per episode. Season one's 61 OMGs is the lowest of the series. Season two (96) had four episodes with double-digit OMGs. Season three (88) had three episodes without an OMG but gave way to a 108 OMGs in season four. Season five had the second fewest (87) but was the first season to have an OMG in every episode. Season six (119) raised the bar but still wouldn't be the most in a season. Season seven had 99 thanks to 13 OMGs in the Bing-Geller wedding episode. Every subsequent season had 100+ with seasons eight (101) and ten (109) sandwiching the season-high 123 OMGs in season nine. The two-part series finale had Ross contributing nine of the 23 OMGs.

It's okay to admit you've always been curious to know this number. All it took was a fan site with episode transcripts, five minutes to code a script search, and a few more minutes of gif hunting.
