Really fantastic. Kathleen Turner had a great scene with Cox and Perry. Really amazing.

The One with Chandler's Dad

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 1 September 2011]

One of the very good episodes I really like the story of Rachel and Ross on the porche. It was already pretty funny how she got behind the wheel but it gets even better when she gets stopped but gets out of ticket by flirting with the officer. And it gets even better when Ross is stopped for being too slow and tries to get out of his ticket using Rachel's method. Absolutely hilarious! It was also great how Monica convinced Chandler to go see his cross dressing father. Chandler was really irritating me in this episode. But I can understand him because his father left him for this, it would be surprising if he was ok with this from the start. But the moment where he invited his father to come to the wedding was very moving.

Is it me or Rachel is beyond annoying??

Stealing someone's car when they specifically told you not to touch their car? She is so manipulative and spoiled it's not funny.

The One with Chandler's Dad

[studioAT · 5/10 · 18 July 2021]

A bit of a thin episode this one, with all the plots only just warranting their run time.

It's fun, it's nice to see Matthew Perry looking healthier again, but this series hasn't been the show at its best.

Trying On Panties and Drag Show

[vivianla · 26 December 2020]

Monica insists on going to Vegas to see Chandler's dad who doss drag shows. She gives him his suitcase and off they fly to Vegas. They get a table at the drag show and Monica is unsure whether to address their server as waiter or waitress. Chandler's dad comes out in glam and performs.

Rachel is annoyed that everyone else gets to drive the Porsche except her because Mon thinks she is a terrible driver. Rachel steals the keys from Ross and twenty bucks. She starts up the vehicle and Ross gets into the backseat. They are stopped by an officer and Rachel flirts with him saying she had a dream last night Officer Handsome. The officer plays into it and compliments her photo saying she looks gorgeous. Ross says yeah because that was taken like 10 years ago. The officer checks Rachel's birthday and asks about her horoscope sign. Rachel guesses his horoscope and they end in good terms.

Ross takes the driver's seat and is stopped for going too slow. He tries to pull the same flirting like Rachel did with Officer Pretty. It doesn't work.

Phoebe and Joey talk as Joey saw Jake, her boyfriend, with pink lacy panties when he bent over. Phoebe says yeah they are wearing each other's underwear. Phoebe is wearing his briefs and Joey says that is kinda hot. Phoebe says he is secure about his masculinity and only guys who are can wear panties.

Back at the apartment Joey takes out a purple thong from the laundry. He changes it for a red panty with less exposure. He then shows Phoebe.

Rachel's story ruins it

[puzgolac · 1/10 · 19 July 2023]

Joey's story in this one is pretty thin, though it is saved by Matt LeBlanc's fine acting and by that joke at the very end. Chandler's story is the best one, although it is a bit tired estranged family trope, and the emotions are a bit forced and a bit too much. But Matthew Perry does a great job, just like most of the times.

Rachel, on the other hand, is absolutely obnoxious here. Spoiled, manipulative, entitled... it is as if this episode was written so that the viewers would hate her character. And the story line is garbage - stealing your best friend's car and speeding with expired driver's license? Wow, that is so funny. They should have had her cause an accident and kill somebody, that would have been hilarious...
