The One with the Ride Along

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 15 August 2011]

The story with the sandwich is pretty silly. But it has good moments as well. Like when Joey gets all upset when Chandler inhales the air around the sandwich and Chandler exhales it. Or when he gives Chandler a bite from his sandwich as a sign of being good friends

I liked Rachel in this episode. Doing the right thing and being a total contrast to the selfish, controlling Monica.

The star of the episode is Ross, no questions about that. Him in the car with Gary saying that he is more cop than others because he seats in the front and is more like Gary's "partner" was great. And also how he ended up at the back seat. But the best of course was his "surving", the message to himself and how he now wanted to live his life to the fullest. he made me laugh all the time

The One With Best Sandwich

[devashishparnami · 9/10 · 3 July 2019]

When Phoebe tells the friends that Gary took her along in a police patrol car, the boys insist to make a ride with him too - and get it that very night. Monica decides that's a perfect opportunity to catalog the photos most methodically, but one touch by Rachel undoes all her work; for comfort, she sends Rachel to Ross's place for margarita ingredients, but while there she overhears Emily on the answering machine express doubt about whether she and Ross were right to call off their marriage. Rachel is reluctant to erase the message as Monica insists, but accidentally pushes that button. She decides to wait for Ross and let him decide, but seeing he intends to call Emily, she stops him. Leave it to Joey to focus on 'the best sandwich in the world' that he picks up on the way, but isn't allowed to eat in the patrol car as it drips. When the boys confuse a car backfiring with a gunshot, Joey dives in front of Ross, leading Gary to call him heroic police material. Chandler is vexed.

The One with the Ride Along

Michael Rapaport still doesn't exhibit much comedic timing here, but does his role really allow him to?

This is another decent episode of the show, with all the stories working well.
