Friends (TV Series) The One with the Stoned Guy (1995) User Reviews

Hats Off To Matt Le Blanc And David Schwimmer

[slightlymad22 · 7/10 · 26 November 2014]

Not as good as the last episode but it still has some laugh out loud moments featuring Joey attempting to teach Ross how to talk dirty.

Plot In A Paragraph: Ross is horrified when his date asks him to talk dirty to her, Chandler is equally horrified when he is offered a big promotion at the office job he took as "a temporary thing" five years ago, so he quits. Meanwhile things are looking up for Monica as a client of Pheobe's is looking to open a new restaurant and she is in line for the head chef job.

Matthew Perry is always reliable as Chandler so him doing well is no surprise, but hats must go off to Matt Le Blanc and David Schwimmer who steal this episode

The one with the stoned guy

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 22 October 2007]

In this episode, Chandler asks for a dismissal on his job, since he is discouraged about what he is doing and sad that he doesn't has any big dream. But that doesn't last long, since he receives a good promotion and he sees that mainly of his skills are from the computer science business.

Monica has an audition with Phoebe's friend Steve, who is looking for a new chef for his restaurant. Phoebe brings Steve to Monica's apartment to stay impressed with Monica's culinary skills, but they both didn't expect Steve to be so high of marijuana.

Ross goes out with Celia, the insect curator who works at the museum, but he has difficulties with her, since he doesn't know how to be a dirty talker. He then asks Joey to advice him, bringing some hilarious scenes in this episode.

The One with the Stoned Guy

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 10 June 2011]

I will overlook that it is an anti marijuana propaganda, because Friends was of course done so that everyone can watch it. But it is a very funny episode Jon Loovitz was hilarious. I was almost crying from laughing through the whole scene.

But my favorite part is the dirty talk! Both when Ross said "vulva" and when him and Joey are practicing dirty talk and Chandler comes in. The dialogue was amazing "Now tell me that you want to caress my butt!". "Ok, turn around"

And Chandler's try to get a funner career for himself was a pretty good storyline as well, and something that many people can connect with

Monica "auditions" for a head chef job, and rest assured, her auditor comes hungry!

[appatecu-1 · 28 January 2007]

This might be the first episode that could actually be called hilarious. It is filled with so many priceless, laugh-out-loud moments (the blurting of "vulva," the moment when Chandler walks in on Joey and Ross talking dirty, and pretty much every move Steve makes), that it's difficult to imagine why they are all packed into one episode. But we're glad they are.

Steve's presence in the story is more than funny, however. He serves as a roadblock in Monica's quest for the perfect job. Friends was originally conceived as a show about those few years after college when your life seems to be going nowhere ("It's like you're always stuck in second gear...") and all goals, especially career and relationship goals, seem distant and vastly uphill. Two stories in this episode exemplify this post-collegiate inertia expertly. Both Monica and Chandler, separately, have career crises of different natures, and to these problems, most of us can relate. Some of us have no idea what we want, and for those of us who do, the road isn't always clear.

At the risk of sounding nitpicky, the show's format normally does not include two similar stories that resonate in the same way, as this episode does. With that in mind, the Stoned Guy story and the Chandler's promotion story should have been treated in separate episodes.

But hats off to David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc for the fantastically awkward dirty-talking scene, in which both actors are eating sandwiches while practicing the art of verbal filth.

The One Where Chandler Quits...

[taylorkingston · 10/10 · 6 September 2015]

I really love this episode. It's one of my all-time favorite episodes from this season, and is one of the most enjoyable episodes from the entire series. I just loved the stone guy so much.

In this episode, Chandler gets offered a promotion, but instead of taking the job, Chandler quits. Meanwhile, Ross tries to master dirty talk, which is very disturbing, and just plain wrong. I really don't like Ross. And Monica cooks a gourmet meal for a restaurateur, but it turns out he's stoned, and is just making the whole experience an annoyance for Monica, but while making it a hilarious experience for us viewers.

Best part of the episode: The stoned guy.

Worst part of the episode: Ross.

Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Freaking Ridonkulous.

Oh no

Ha ha a stoned guy!!!!!! Pretty cutting edge for back then

The One With A The Best Career

[devashishparnami · 7/10 · 6 February 2018]

This one is again quite impressive, the best part would be Chandler speaking to his boss over phone and accepting the job from which he was running off since the starting of the episode. Monica trying super hard to hard to impress the restaurant guy is quite hilarious especially with the the professional waitering thing, and when that guy finally ends up coming stoned, it's epic.

The one with the stoned guy

[youssefkhouili · 7/10 · 24 February 2023]

The one with the stoned guy episode wasn't that perfect but it was good, especially Ross's dirty talk practice with Joey when they were closing their eyes but all of a sudden Chandler unexpectedly entered the room hearing Ross saying something like this "I want to lick all of your body with my tongue" he thought they were gay or something haha, that was the funniest act in this episode.

The Stoned guy was awkward and absurd with the effect of marijuana, it was not fun watching him acting, I just waited for him to go away with the hope of not seeing him again in any other episode.

Not bad 7/10.
