Friends (TV Series) The One with Rachel's Other Sister (2002) User Reviews

the funniest friends episode ever made, and ever in production

[g_rudge · 10/10 · 25 October 2007]

this episode is without doubt one of the funniest things i have ever seen in my life. This certain episode guest stars Christina Applegate - as 'Rachels other sister' Amy. Amy is the spoilt younger sister of Rachel, who comes to stay with Rachel when her father kicks her out or as Amy puts it 'cut me off!' Rachel subsequently invites Amy to join the gang at thanksgiving which will also be Emma's first - despite Amy always calling her 'Ella.' The funniest thing about this is the comic timing - everything that comes out of Chritina Applegates mouth is hilarious - and is a credit to the writers.

The gags in this episode are funny on epic proportions, everything from Phoebes funny noise, to the catfight, to the crazy plate lady - its 30 minutes of non stop laughter and undoubtedly the funniest of ALL the friends episodes. This should be a credit to the cast, crew and last but not least - Christina Applegate!

One of the Best

[thecritiquer · 10/10 · 14 June 2016]

Amy, Rachel's other sister is a Pandora's box of laughter. Her immaturity, lack of regard for other people's feelings all wind up forming such a tight pack of laughter that make your lungs pop. The one liners and phrases like "crazy plate lady" or Amy's blatant description of Ross and Monica are purely hilarious.

Every punch in this episode cackles you up. This is one of the rare episodes in the history of World Television where the whole comedy surrounding the characters connect and there are no tributaries to the mainstream and yet they pull off a closed and neatly knit script and manage to make their audience laugh, and that very well. Easily one of the best episodes of the legendary show FRIENDS.

The One with Rachel's Other Sister

[ComedyFan2010 · 10/10 · 8 September 2011]

Like most Thanksgiving episodes this one is brilliant

Christina Applegate was a great addition to it. Rachel's sister Amy was a very funny character and Christina Applegate made a great job as her.

The whole discussion about who gets Emma was a great dialogue. I loved Chandler in it. I really liked the part where he describes how all his friends and wife die and he doesn't even get to keep Emma. Joey's question "who will have to die for me to get her?" was hilarious. And it was also great when Chandler tells Ross that he will not get Joey if Chandler dies

Joey missing the parade was very funny as well. Especially when he finds it out and when he sees on his other arm that he also had to pick up grandma

The One with Rachel's Other Sister - 9.9/10

[theoffice-20996 · 10/10 · 16 July 2021]

Total chaos in this episode. One of the best of the whole show. For these chapters I love Friends!

I am totally killed

[traffictse · 10/10 · 20 December 2020]

I cannot stop laughing for even one second. The most funny part should be the sudden occurrence of this other sister.

the funiest episode!

[elirlandes · 10/10 · 3 July 2021]

Seriously one day this series will kill me with laughter, especially this chapter that did not stop laughing at all times.

So much fun!

[charmanderselol · 10/10 · 3 July 2021]

You don't know how many times I laugh at this episode, it was so funny and entertaining that I enjoyed it a lot.

Emma's fist thanksgiving

[sweetjawalters · 10/10 · 25 November 2006]

Racheal's sister Amy comes in for thanks giving. When they get to Monica's place she kept on calling Phobe Emma and Emma Ella. Then Amy gets mad about Racheals discount at Ralph Laurens and that when both Ross & Racheal die Emma goes to Monica and if Monica dies then Ross parents get Emma, also Chanler gets mad that after Monica he dose not get Emma. Racheal and Amy get in a big cat fight and knock over one of Monica's fancy dishes. At the end Racheal says Amy can use her Ralph Lauren discount but not get Emma and Amy accepts. They also tell Chanler if Monica dies then he can get Emma so he goose and gets a diaper to change her and knocks over all of Monica's fancy dishes she had in a box.

The best Friends episode ever

[suramyakhanal · 10/10 · 4 September 2021]

Rachel's sister Amy brings a whole different dimension to the series.

Godparents, Amy and Plates

[vivianla · 30 December 2020]

Amy, Rachel's sister played by Christina Applegate has arrived. I love her hair!!!!!

The gang goes over to the Bings for Thanksgiving. They discuss where each of them are in the line to have Emma in the case where her parents die.

Monica is very careful about the plates and then they end up being all broken.

Would love to see Jill instead of Amy.

[mrpattinson-07689 · 8/10 · 12 June 2021]

Enjoyable episode but Amy is so of stupid and so annoying, it would have been better if Jill could appear in this episode instead of Amy. Also Phoebe proves why there's blonde jokes running around, she anticipated in earliest episode when she declined to believe in Evolution and she proved in this episode that blondes are not very bright by denying moon landing.

I like a lot the presence of Christina Applegate in this one!

[Lady_Targaryen · 7/10 · 5 March 2009]

It's Thanks Giving Day, and Chandler tells Monica about his suggestion of using their wedding China. Monica is against it, specially because everything was so expensive and she is afraid that someone breaks their stuff.

Joey is watching the Parade, when he sees the Days of Our Lives float full of the stars of the Soap Opera.He forgets that he needed to go there, and tries to find a reasonable excuse to say why he missed the Parade. The problem is that Joey is terrible lying and he always blame a raccoon for the things he does.

Amy, one of Rachel's sisters,is alone in the Thanks Giving,and Rachel invites her to stay with them in Monica's house. The only problem is that Amy is annoying and insensitive, and always make everybody feel bad with her presence. A debate about who would stay with Emma if Ross and Rachel dies begins, and everybody ends up fighting.

Who gets Emma?

[studioAT · 5/10 · 6 August 2017]

Christina Applegate joins the 'Friends' cast as Rachel's other sister for this fun and funny Thanksgiving episode.

I really liked the way the writers added depth to the character of Chandler here, with Matthew Perry stepping up. Perry is a far better dramatic actor than people give him credit for, and this episode displays that.

The Joey story line was a bit weaker, but well performed by Matt Le Blanc.

I also liked Monica here. Obsessive, yes, but also warm and funny. When the writers find the right balance for her Courtney Cox is great.

A nice episode.

Why is this rated so highly ?

[NatashaJAmos2015 · 1/10 · 24 August 2020]

It's not funny and Amy Green is horrible. She's not funny she's rude.

And what's with the pointless so called trivia for this episode ?
