Rachel might have taken the major step of being able to walk away from her family inheritance to start a new life on her own with her friends, but that doesn’t mean she totally changes her personality. There are many moments throughout the series where Rachel slips back into her past.
Whether it’s by the way she acts, what she says, or things that she buys, Rachel often catches herself slipping into her materialistic past. A life when she wanted for nothing and only had to bat her eyelashes to get something from her father. It’s something that does stay in her character throughout the entire show, with the little slip-ups adding to her personality. In this list, we will take a look at Rachel’s 10 biggest materialistic moments from Friends.
10 Bloomingdale’s Anger
One of the first times Rachel really slips back into her materialistic past is when she becomes incredibly angry and upset with Monica because she went to Bloomingdale’s without her. While she is really mad because she goes with Julie, and she has feelings for Ross, that doesn’t stop this being a low moment for her.
Rachel loses it over a shopping trip. Does she really expect Monica to never go shopping with anybody that isn’t her? What about Phoebe, her mother, or anybody? Rachel gets mad and it shows that she still has that same shopping addiction deep down.
9 Leaving Barry At The Altar
The first moment we see Rachel is at the start of the first episode when she bursts through the doors with a wedding dress on. She is fresh from her wedding day where she leaves Barry at the altar, and while this is the best thing for her, it is no doubt a materialistic thing to do.
Dragging someone along to the point of being at the altar to just walk away from them is quite a serious thing to do. It’s clear when she first arrives at the coffee house that she is a very different person to who she later becomes, but it’s still clear that she’s focussed a little more on things than people at this time.
8 Stringing Along Gunther
People who always get what they want and are utterly beautiful like Rachel are certainly used to men being attracted to them. That’s why it is not a surprise that she strings along poor Gunther throughout the entire series, pretending not to notice his quite obvious affection for her.
She uses Gunther at countless different points, whether it be for her to get a job and earn money, to keep Joey in a job or even selling a pet that she doesn’t want. It might not be something that she owns, but she pretty much does own him in one form or another.
7 Apocothery Table
This purchase might have come from Pottery Barn, and might not technically be the most expensive thing that Rachel could have bought, but it is still very much a materialistic purchase. She picks this up while she is living in Phoebe’s apartment, and that’s what makes it materialistic.
Phoebe is totally against buying things from chains like this, and she prefers things to be unique. That’s what makes this worse, as Rachel actually lies and pretends she bought the apothecary table from a flea market, making this a lie, as well as a materialistic purchase.
6 Sail Away
When Joey accidentally overbids and ends up with a boat, Rachel kindly offers to take him out and teach him how to sail it. This seems like it could be a genuine moment of friendship that Rachel is doing out of the kindness of her heart, but that ends up not being the case.
When they get out on the water she ends up going back to her old ways. Rachel’s past takes over her and she begins to act in a materialistic manner as if she owned the boat. She begins to become very bossy and clearly forgets what situation she is in.
5 Hiring Tag
While most materialistic moments end up with Rachel buying something, this example actually involves her hiring an assistant at work. The first time she is given some power and responsibility to help her in her employment, Rachel opts to make the decision that most benefits her in a particularly selfish manner.
Instead of hiring the smart option of an elderly woman who knows the job, she hires Tag. While he certainly tries hard in the job, the reasons she hires him are all to do with his aesthetics. He’s a good looking young man and the fact they end up dating just proves why she hired him was nothing to do with the work.
4 Returning Gifts
People say hurtful things when they break up. It’s understandable as emotions rise and the truth begins to pour out, and that is what happens countless times during Ross and Rachel’s break up. It is during this moment that we learn Rachel has been quite materialistic throughout the relationship.
Of course, lots of things happen off-camera in their lives, and this was one of those moments. Ross mocks her for often returning gifts he got, showing she doesn’t appreciate things. Even though she gets a box of memories to prove that she does keep small, seemingly meaningless things, it doesn’t take away from her returning gifts.
3 Scooter Fun
While we don’t actually see Rachel returning lots of gifts from Ross, we do get an idea of her materialism later in the series when Tag buys her a birthday present. During her 30th birthday, Tag shows his immaturity by buying her a scooter (for some reason) and she quickly scoffs at the present.
This ends up being the moment she realizes he is too young and immature for her. However, Rachel’s reaction to getting a thoughtful gift isn’t exactly one of gratitude, and she clearly believes that she is worth more than that.
2 “I’ve Got Great Boots, Boots.”
“They are my; I don’t need a job, I don’t need my parents, I’ve got great boots, boots.” That’s the exact words Rachel says when she showcases her new boots to the group in Central Perk, which pretty much sums up how materialistic of a moment it is.
While she admits she was laughed out of interviews, instead of focusing on starting her working life, Rachel buys boots. Of course, this is using her parent’s money as well, making the entire thing even worse. Thankfully, this purchase leads to her chopping up all those credit cards, bringing an end to this possibility.
1 The Cat
Rachel has plenty of materialistic moments throughout the series, but the clearest is when she purchases a sphynx cat. Mrs. Whiskerson. This is a classic materialistic moment where Rachel falls back into her previous behaviors of spending money recklessly.
The cat costs an incredible $1,000, which isn’t exactly a figure you can just throw around easily. The fact that Rachel doesn’t even care enough to keep the cat once it’s clear that it scratches showcases just how materialistic the whole situation is.
