Chandler needs a new tailor and decides to visit Frankie,Joey's tailor. The problem is that the tailor is not exactly 'professional'.

A Good Season Two Opener

[slightlymad22 · 8/10 · 28 November 2014]

After an anti climactic end to season one, season two starts in great fashion.

Plot In A Paragraph: An unsuspecting Rachel waits for Ross at the airport, unaware he has a new girlfriend. Meanwhile, Chandler has an uncomfortable experience with Joey's tailor, and after giving the boys good haircuts Phoebe caves in to pressure and gives Monica a celebrity inspired haircut.

Jennifer Aniston is superb here. She is very funny, but also heartbreakingly upset and depressed, and she looks great. Not sure if I'd noticed how great her legs were before on this show. Definitely my favourite "friend".

As for the boys Le Blanc and Perry bring these with the tailor storyline

The One With The Inappropriate Tailor...

[taylorkingston · 7/10 · 19 October 2014]

I really like this episode. It's a good Season Premiere. It's very enjoyable.

In this episode, Ross has come back from his business trip to China. With a girl. Yes, that's right. He met someone whilst away, and for some reason, someone was willing to date him. Seems impossible. When he comes back with someone else, Rachel is devastated, and is very hurt. She tries to muster up the courage to tell Ross how she feels but she can't. Meanwhile, Joey finds out something very disturbing about his tailor. His tailor sort of "feels him up" when he goes to get pants hemmed, and Joey didn't realize that that's not how pants are measured. When Chandler tells him this, Joey is super confused and calls his Dad to tell him that that's not how pants are measured. I assumed that he never went back to that tailor. Who would? Also, Phoebe gives Monica a new hair cut, but not the one she wanted. A bad one. Phoebe though Demi Moore was a man, and that's the hair cut she gave her.

Overall, I give this episode a 7 out of 10.

The One with Ross's New Girlfriend

[ComedyFan2010 · 10/10 · 18 June 2011]

This is a great episode. Jennifer Aniston did a great job as Rachel, great acting. Watching Rachel dealing with the fact that Ross has a new girlfriend is very funny (although one does feel bad for her!). The scene in the airport, or when they get to their apartment and also when Ross talks on the phone so she can't stand it and hangs up are just great. And their conversation on the balcony, Rache's facial expression tells so much.

Besides that the story lines of Joey and Monica are also very funny. When after Chandler goes to Joey's tailor and he cups him, Chandler and Ross are telling Joey that this is not how they measure pants, it was high quality comedy. And Phobe giving Monica a haircut of Roger Moore instead Demi Moore was a great idea.

The One Which SHould Have Benn

[devashishparnami · 8/10 · 7 February 2018]

Ross is back from China, and he has a new girlfriend. Rachel goes to pick him up from the airport and the scenes are just too hilarious. Rachel again meets and sleeps with Paolo. When Monica convinces Phoebe to cut her hair after her good job on the boys, she's horrified to get the haircut of an entirely wrong movie star named Moore. Meanwhile Joey's family tailor proves a bad recommendation to Chandler, who is not gullible enough to believe taking measurements for trousers requires taking the tape up each leg and the rear with intimate manual contact at groin height.

Joey's Tailor

[mevans-81261 · 10/10 · 12 January 2024]

This episode deserves a"Ten Star" rating for the subplot dealing with "Joey's Tailor". It is my personal opinion that the whole "Joey's Tailor" bit is one of the funniest bits from the whole eleven year run of the Friends Television Show.

A brief synopsis of the skit. Chandler needs a tailor to alter some pants. Joey recommended a tailor which he and his father have been using for years. Chandler goes to the tailor and the tailor "feels him up". Later Chandler confronts Joey. Joey insists "That is how they do pants. They go up one leg, move "IT" over, go up the other leg, move "IT" back, then do the rear. Ross heard this description, so Joey asks him confirm "that is how they do pants." Ross' reply is hilarious.

Hair

I want a hair cut like Demi Moore not Dudley Moore. Ha ha that bit was almost funny. Lol ha ha lol

The One with Ross's New Girlfriend

[studioAT · 7/10 · 24 September 2022]

After a few dud episodes towards the end of the first series 'Friends' bounces back with a renewed sense of oomph as it heads into its second.

I'm not sure I totally buy that Ross would've switched his romantic affection quite so easily/quickly from Rachel to Julie, but as an audience we have to go along for the ride on that front.

Jennifer Aniston, as other reviewers have said, is on very good form here, and after being such a spoilt brat at times in Series one is much more likable and winning here.

I thoroughly enjoyed the subplot involving Joey/Chandler too, with perhaps one of the all-time greatest lines for the latter featuring here.

I could have taken/left the other plot with Monica/Phoebe personally.

On the whole good episode.
