The One Where Ross Moves In

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 12 August 2011]

This episode was actually pretty good. I really liked the Rachel and Danny story where she was trying to make it some sort of a game where she stays in control. It was especially funny because Monica even thought that this is crazy.

I also liked to see the story of Ross becoming roommates with Joey and Chandler. I felt pretty bad for him when they go to look for the apartment that is so bad and the guys are obviously trying to get rid of him which he knew. But then they feel bad about it and give him that funny reference that he is a pimp. Very sweet!

The story of Phoebe and Larry was not bad either. What I actually liked the most is how they showed Phoebe liking all those things about him that the audience just didn't see.

The One With Danny's Party...

[taylorkingston · 7/10 · 28 April 2015]

I really like this episode. I mean, everything Ross does pisses me off, especially in this episode. He can not go into someone else's home, who are letting him crash there for free and demand that they be quiet or pay for things they don't use. Ross in the real world would be beaten up so many times.

In this episode, Emily's cousin kicks Ross out, since he was his landlord. So Joey and Chandler tell Ross that they can stay at their place for a while, until he gets settled. But then Ross tries to take charge. He tells them to be quiet, that should be paying for stuff since they're "using it". I used quote marks because Ross thinks they're using it, but they're not. Meanwhile, Monica and Rachel get invited to Danny's party. But since Rachel wants to impress him, she pretends that she has a gala to go to.

Fun Fact: The message on the Magnadoodle board says: "No girls allowed!"

Overall, I give this episode a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.

Crazy Rachel

[scottwilliam-11107 · 9/10 · 30 July 2020]

I thought this was definitely one of Jennifer Aniston's most funniest performances. The other two story lines were decent but "Crazy" Rachel really steals this episode.

Wanted to like this more...

[jpapanone · 6/10 · 17 June 2021]

And there are lot of good parts in it.

But I really dislike the Danny/Rachel stuff.

Its distracting from the rest of the episode.

AND...this may be the beginning of the end of Ross. I know that they destroy the Ross character but I wasn't sure when it happened...or when cracks started to appear.

It may be here. Emily is gone. And Ross is getting further away from being "a nerd" or however they want to portray him. (Which never made any sense to me. Big Bang guys are nerds. Not Ross). But with the being an annoying roommate and the voicemail, they start making him oblivious to obviously stupid things. That may be the thing. By taking away his self awareness, they can now make him do whatever. And that may be fine for the laughs...but getting removed more and more from reality. Get too far away from reality, and now we're watching a cartoon as opposed to relatable people. It stops being funny...and just starts being silly really.

I like the health inspector/Phoebe storyline.

The One Where Ross Moves In

[studioAT · 6/10 · 25 July 2021]

I'm not one of those people who think that 'Friends' was 236 episodes of absolute brilliance.

There are dud episodes and storylines along the way, and the whole Rachel and Danny story arc is a fine example. It's just rubbish from start to finish.

Thankfully the Ross/Chandler/Joey plot here is great, very funny indeed, and there's a lot of fun to be had in the Phoebe one too.

The good outweighs the downright lousy though.

Pointless

[twanster-97655 · 2/10 · 1 February 2022]

After successfully running ross's wedding and marriage, Rachel moves on to her next conquest, a pointless and boring chap called Danny who she's now attracted too and acting like a silly teenager now that he's shaved his beard and looks good. Joey and chandler save this episode somewhat but at this stage of the show you can tell the writers were running low..

Fort of Ross's Belongings and Housewarming Party

[vivianla · 15 December 2020]

Ross is kicked out of his apartment that Emily's cousins owns because he didn't sign a lease - it's "family". Now that he divorced Emily the cousin doesn't want him there.

Monica's workplace is inspected by Larry, a health inspector. Phoebe likes him. Larry asks for her phone number and says he will call.

Ross moves in with the guys and Joey makes a fort with all the boxes. They are annoyed by Ross's habits and his "quiet down" gesture. Joey takes the newspaper articles that Chandler offers and says he is Italian.

Rachel tells Mon that the neighbour has not called her since their pizza outing. Later the neighbour invites Rachel and Mon to his housewarming party but Rachel lies that she has a regatta gala.

Rachel is introduced to the neighbour's acquaintance who is awkward. The neighbour thought they might hit it off.

The guys all put on hats and stand in the middle of the fort.
