The One with Joey's Big Break

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 16 August 2011]

The story of Phoebe being angry at Ross is pretty funny. She doesn't remember why, but she is really mad and even has a list with Ross's name on it. And I love how they find out that it was because of something that happened in her dream. When she twicks his arm to make sure that he isn't sleeping now, it is so Phoebe!

It is also very funny how Joey uses Phoebe's "fast answer" technique and asks Ross if he wants to sleep with Monica or Rachel. And when Ross tells him that he is sick he thins that it is because of his history with Rachel

Just want to point out that Monica gave Chandler permission to go to Las Vegas in this episode. Thats how controlling she is and Chandler put up with the abuse

And I also loved the scene where everyone jumps on Rachel to put drops in here eyes

The One With 1% Profit

[devashishparnami · 9/10 · 3 July 2019]

Joey is excited to get the lead in a thriller, Shutterspeed, so he and Chandler decide to drive to Las Vegas where it's being shot, in Phoebe's late grandma's cab. Monica sees to it that terrified Rachel gets a glaucoma-test and the necessary eye-drops, whatever that takes. Phoebe is furious at Ross, but won't say why, or doesn't even remember. The instant answers-technique Phoebe taught Joey, to choose between two routes, makes Chandler blurt out he doesn't believe it's going to be Joey's big break as he gets no pay, just 1% of profit. The indignant star-to-be throws him out on New York's George Washington bridge. Chandler feels terribly guilty, but when Joey arrives.

Two of the stories work well here, but wow, the Phoebe/Ross one is very weak indeed. Was this really the best plot they could come up with?

On the whole the good outweighs the weak.

Las Vegas Movie

[vivianla · 19 December 2020]

Joey is to go to Vegas for a movie. Chandler and him are preparing to go together.

Phoebe is mad at Ross but forgot why. Phoebe introduces a game where they have to answer as fast as possible. Joey asks Ross if he would rather sleep with Monica or Phoebe. Ross calls him sick and Joey apologizes that he forgot Rachel and him had history.

Joey kicks Chandler out of the taxi cab on the George Washington bridge. Chandler comes back to the cafe with a bag of garbage.

Rachel has a red eye and is taken to Monica's eye doctor. Rachel has a fear of things getting close to eyes and refuses to take the eye drops. Monica has to sit on top of her to try to put the drops in. Rachel says wow if Joey and Chandler walked in right now they would be making a lot of money.

At the end the whole gang has to wrestle with Rachel to get her to sit still and Monica puts the drops in. Monica says okay we will see you in 3-4 hours!
