Joey and the Tijuana Trip (#2.12)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 18 October 2014]

Michael and his girlfriend are on a break as she wants a more serious relationship. Joey takes him and Zach to Tijuana where they party wild and then Zach and Joey get married. Meanwhile Joey's bachelor neighbor tells Alex that she doesn't know how to have fun and she really makes up for it when Joey asks her to help him with a divorce.

People getting drunk and married is a common comedy story, but I like how they made a twist in here and make it a marriage between two heterosexual males. Crazy and fun idea. And the way Alex dealt with it was pretty amusing as well. The scene of them trying to convince "el presidente" to divorce them was almost as fun as after making us believe that it was Michael who got married to a local girl we find out what really happened.

Joey goes to Mexico single, and comes back married!

This is another fun episode of the show that features Joey/Zach/Michael heading to Mexico to help the latter get over his girlfriend.

There's lots of funny moments throughout that story, with Joey and Zach getting drunkenly married being a nice parody of Ross and Rachel having a similar experience on 'Friends' when they went to Vegas.

It's nice also that at this stage of the show we had a strong trio of guys, almost reminiscent of what Joey had with Chandler and Ross.

There's lots to like in the Gina/Alex story too, and although the writers had made huge changes to the Alex character from how she was at the start of the series, Andrea Anders managed to keep her feeling real and likeable.

This episode also features a nice dramatic ending too, and this would set the tone for the second half of the series, many episodes of which would never air.
