Rachel's mom wants to live with her!

Warning: Spoilers
Monica and Phoebe are organizing a baby shower to Rachel. He sisters are not coming, but they both forget to invite Rachel's mother. Monica stays in charge to call Rachel's mom, and when she calls her, Ms Green angrily says how she was surprised with their lack of consideration. Monica stays the entire episode trying to please Rachel's mom, but she doesn't have much success with it.

Joey tells Ross and Chandler that he has an audition to be the host of a game show called Bamboozled. Chandler and Joey pretend to be guests to help Joey in his audition. The game is very hard to understand in the beginning, but as long as the time passes, they know how to play it better and even like it!

Rachel's mom gives the idea of staying in Rachel's house for a month to help her with the baby. Ross says that he knows how to take care of a baby and that they don't need her help. Rachel is also not excited to have her mother for such a long time near her.

The One with the Baby Shower
ComedyFan20105 September 2011

The fun part of this show is to see Monica being teated badly. I always keep laughing from what a horrible person she is to the ones who love her and care for her but how she can't handle someone else not liking her. Phoebe on the other hand is nice to her friends but doesn't care of someone unfairly mistreats her. Was really fun to see Monica kissing ass

The whole bamboozled game was a great idea as well. Especially to see how they really got into it at the end It is such a silly game and yet they had a lot of fun. I also liked how Ross used it to test Rachel on her knowledge about being a mom. Made me laugh so hard at the last scene where he says that she will be a bad mother

Joey the game show host

Warning: Spoilers
Hooray - finally an episode where Monica gets put in her place! It does get rather annoying the way she had Chandler so under the thumb, so I was pleased that Sandra Green (guest star Marlo Thomas) was able to be the dominant one on this occasion.

Much like when Alec Baldwin and Brad Pitt guest starred, Marlo Thomas becomes the star attraction here, with all the best cutting remarks. A baby shower episode is a classic sitcom premise, but I liked that 'Friends' put a unique spin on it.

The best thing about this episode is the guys helping Joey prepare for his audition as a game show host. A notably thinner Matthew Perry in particular seemed to be having fun with the story line.

The guys story was the highlight.

Baby Shower With Mrs. Green
vivianla30 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Rachel is not surprised her two sisters don't want to come to an all-female party with no guys and no booze. Monica and Phoebe forgot to invite Mrs. Green so they call her to invite her on the day of. Mrs. Green arrives in yellow and shades the hosts.

Rachel is so lost when she receives the gifts. She picked up a gift and wondered if it is a beer bong for a baby. Mrs. Green replies that it is a breast pump. There is a diaper dispose and a bassinet.
