Joey's sister, who wasn't present in the episode where Chandler kisses one of Joey's sisters and was never seen again, ignores the fact that she has six other sisters and goes to her only male sibling for help with her baby even though he doesn't have any kids or any money. Rachel compares herself to Joey's sister for some dumb reason. This story line is absolutely pointless.

The One with Monica's Boots

Warning: Spoilers
I don't like this episode very much because instead of being funny lots of characters annoyed me, even the ones I usually like
It is funny that Monica was the one who didn't annoy me the most in this episode. The story with the boots just wasn't funny for me, thats all.
Joey on the other hand was someone I really disliked in this episode. So old fashioned, sexist and hypocritical. I really don't like it when they show him like that, he is usually a very sweet character. I just liked Bobby who was played by Marc Rose in this episode. He was pretty funny and well done. I just don't get why Rachel didn't want to hug him, is it because she is too snobby? Nothing wrong with hugging
Phoebe was annoying as well. They tried to make a crazy Sting fan out of her. Really didn't like her this way. The only funny part here was "Ross-can!"

The One Where Phoebes At Her Worst

I have a love hate relationship with Phoebe. Sometimes she's just too ditzy to be believed and other times she had a good heart. She couldn't care less about Ben all she wants to do is meet Jacks father Sting.
I always skip this episode on rewatches.

A hit and miss episode
studioAT27 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I didn't like the 'Sting' story line - I'll get that out of the way right now. I thought it wasn't that funny, despite being well performed by Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer, and I liked the fact that the show actually acknowledged that Ross had a son already. But there were some laboured jokes in that story line.
It was nice to see Courtney Cox being given a story line that allowed her to be funny, but equally Matthew Perry's Chandler seems to be living in fear of his wife rather than being funny.
The best story line is the one involving Joey, and that's been the case throughout Series 8. The mix of sweetness and dimness in the character is lovely, and based on episodes like this its no surprise why NBC thought about continuing with the character once 'Friends' ended.
