Friends at their best!
teacherafael6 July 2006
Warning: Spoilers
It may be the best episode of Friends. After watching over and over again the 10 years of Friends, I can say that it's my favorite episode ever! The jokes and acting are incredible funny in here, and it's a great step and a very especial moment for the show when everybody finds out about Chandler and Monica. In my opinion, the best scene of the 10 years of Friends is in this episode. It's when Pheobe, Ross and Rachel are in the new Ross' apartment and Pheobe sees Monica and Chandler "doing it" through Ross apartment's window, her hysterical reaction is the best! Pheobe delivers another great sequence of the seduction game on Chandler. Great fun!

The One Where Everybody Finds Out
ComedyFan201014 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Another one of the incredibly hilarious episode The scene when Phoebe finds out and starts yelling is just great. Well done by Lisa Kudrow. And it gets better when Ross comes in and Rachel and Phoebe try to distract him from the window. The final scene where Ross finds it out looking through the same window is just on the same level of greatness. He was just told that he can return to work and he shows all his anger again!

And the rest of the episode is genius too. Monica/Chandler and Phoebe/Rachel plotting against each other while Joey is being all upset. And the scene where Chandler and Phoebe are finally facing each other in their seduction battle is awesome. Phoebe's dance alone was great.

Multiple belly laughs
rich-fouts3 November 2019
They think they can mess with us? With us? They don't know we know they know.

I watch this at least once a year .. and it's remains the most hilarious episode of Friends if not any TV show. Really shows off Jennifer Aniston's superb comedic timing.

Rachael: I can't believe Chandler would .... wait .... Joey??? Do they know we know they know ?

Joey: They know you know.

The whole thing starts to unravel when Monica realizes they have been busted ( by a terrific Courtney Cox), After that the hilarity just doesn't quit. Kudos to Lisa Kudrow who is perfection.

Most memorable tv episode ever
sherylchilders8220 June 2021
I was in high school when this aired, and was never a TV person. But, I watched Friends every Thursday. When I went to college, I forgot about this show for the most part, but I never forgot this episode. Recently, I gave in and binged Friends for the first time, having not watched it since I was young. And I could not wait for this episode. What I remembered most was the play on words ("They don't know that we know that they know"). It was pure joy at the time, comedy genius. Such a happy time in my memory enjoying this show. When I finally got to watching this episode, it was everything I remembered and more. It is really one of those rare gems that captured a moment in time.

This is a strong contender for the best episode of the show ever, as Monica and Chandler's secret romance is revealed to everyone.

Wonderfully played, full of great moments - this is excellent.

theoffice-2099616 July 2021
What can I say about this episode? So funny and emotional at the same time. Without a doubt Chandler and Monica are the best couple of the whole show. This could well be the best episode of the show.

Phoebe x Rachel vs. Chandler x Monica
vivianla16 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Who knows and who doesn't about Chandler and Monica's relationship is a whole mess. This leads to a we know they don't know competition. Its Phoebe x Rachel against Chandler x Monica.

Ross wants ugly naked guy's apartment. Rachel suggests getting to know the guy's hobbies and talking about them with him. For example with Joey she can talk about her underwear. Joey replies I'm listening.

Lisa's acting is amazing in this episode. Phoebe tries to seduce Chandler for fun and this leads to seeing who gives up first. Joey flicks off Phoebe's shirt to reveal her bra without breaking off any buttons. He replies it is not his first time. Joey says Chandler freaks out over bras.

Chandler gives up and Monica and Chandler embrace and have a romantic kiss. Ross is seen naked by the gang with ugly naked guy.

Later Ross goes to show his apartment to his boss and then sees Chandler and Monica. He screams get off my sister!

Actually, it's one of the worst
puzgolac21 June 2023
There are a few laughs in this one, but the whole ridiculous idea of the secret relationship reaches the pinnacle of ridiculousness here. For some reason, although (almost) everybody knows about Chandler and Monica, instead of just agreeing that the whole thing is now out in the open, they keep trying to "mess with each other" for no rational or believable reason at all. The whole thing is not funny, it is just cringey and induces second hand embarrassment in the viewer. It is like when you listen to somebody tell a really stupid joke and then they keep trying to milk it, although it falls flat. The completely over the top screams from the audience just make things worse.

Monica (or is it Courteney Cox?) is extremely annoying. In fact, Joey is the only one who looks like a normal, relatable human being here, while the rest of them come across as really lousy people.

This episode cracks me up every single time and credit goes to Phoebe, shes hilarious! The story of Ross trying to obtain the new apartment ties in very nicely.

BURST OUT LAUGHTER
rudrakshtank2 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
"They don't know that we know they know we know"

This episode is so chaotic and funny. Probably the best episode of the whole show. Phoebe messing with Chandler, Ross's screaming, Phoebe trying to filter her eyes, and the competition between Monica-Chandler and Phoebe-Rachel, everything about this episode is the definition of perfection. The cast gave a LUNGS ACHING performance especially Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer

🚨 Spoiler Alert 🚨

My most favourite part of the episode is the moment when Phoebe seeing Chandler and Monica making love and saying "Oh My Eyes! My Eyes" and the chaotic chemistry between Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer. The interaction between Phoebe (Kudrow) and Chandler (Perry) is an example of a top class comedy.

The Best!
ozak174 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
No doubt this one was the best episode of the whole show. I have watched it at least 10 times now and i can still laugh as i did at the first time which is the proof that everything about this episode is just brilliant. I believe that writing the Monica/Chandler relationship in was one of the best desicions the writers of the show has made. Their relationship as a whole has added so much to the show.

This episode is so amazing, so fun and one of my absolute favorites. All the episodes are of course fantastic, but this one is special, both for Chandlers and Monicas relationship and it's hilarious!

Not my 1st time
sabian-3619925 March 2022
Again, trying to put a top 10 all-time episodes together.

This one is easily on the list.

Great storyline. Acting is totally on point.

It's enjoyable to go back and rewatch the shows but paying attention to the characters in the background.

I don't get tired of watching
kiklen10 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I've seen this episode so many times and any time and I die laughing. For me this is the best Friends' episode. The classic scene "Oh my god, my eyes, my eyes", it never gets old, and how they reach the limit in this game of everyone knows but pretend they don't know until chandle gives up.

No one should miss this episode. We've been waiting for this time for so long since they started their relationship in London. I have to say that I will miss the naked guy, but happy for Ross.

What I still do not get is why there is people who starred this willth less than 10 stars to this episode. They do not do comedy shows like this anymore.

Sincerely, a friends' fan.

The One Without Ugly Naked Guy

Warning: Spoilers
When Phoebe discovers Monica and Chandler's relationship, she and Rachel try to mess with them. But chaos intervenes when Monica and Chandler find out what they're up to. Ugly Naked Guy is moving out, and Ross tries to get his apartment, but he has serious competition.

Hilarious
amcgrory-9408312 July 2022
I mean the outfits, why did they dress like that. Especially as a waitress and out of work actor, I mean really. The show should have been called shoplifters as that is the only way they could have afforded that kind of hoit couture.
