The One with Rachel's New Dress

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 10 August 2011]

Ross is hilarious. His jealousy about Emily and Susan was done just perfectly. I love the scene where he even makes Carol worry and it freaks him out even more and where he tells the girls that Susan and Emily are "being gay together" after which Phoebe analyzes how carol make him all paranoid

The date of Rachel and Joshua had lots of fun moments as well. First of all the fact that he is scared farm birds. And of course Rachel facing his parents in her "dress". I just couldn't understand why they left Joshua $500 for groceries. He doesn't seem as if he lives off his parents.

I also liked Phoebe selecting a name for the child. Joey and Chandler competing for it was fun, especially since Chandler ended up going the "i hate my name" route to convince Phoebe to choose it instead of saying how great it is. Smart move!

The One With Sushan & Emily

[devashishparnami · 10/10 · 15 November 2018]

Frank and Alice name two of the babies and let Phoebe pick a name for the second boy. Phoebe wavers between the names "Chandler" or "Joey", so the guys have a big competition whose name will be be picked. Ross freaks out because Susan is in London and is now really good friends with Emily - and it all seems too familiar. Rachel has a romantic date with Joshua and hopes to sleep with him. They are at Joshua's parents' place who are supposed to be on holidays, but come back unexpectedly. When they barge in, Rachel is wearing a sexy negligee and tells them it's a dress by an Italian designer. The parents are shocked but take Rachel and Joshua out for dinner with Rachel wearing her negligee. Ross seriously thinks Emily is a lesbian now too, but the friends tell him not to be so paranoid and he shouldn't let what happened with Carol ruin his relationship to Emily.

Paranoia and Parents

[vivianla · 10 December 2020]

Emily asks Ross if his son would be disturbed with her hanging bra. Ross says if mom has a wife, dad can have a bra.

Ross is worried about Emily hanging out with his ex's partner. What if Emily is a lesbian? They are going to the gym together and Ross says they might go to the steam room. He references a movie and Joey says he will definitely watch.

Rachel asks Monica for advice on which nightie to wear and Monica says she finds it creepy picking out other people's sex clothes. Monica tells Rachel the food she prepared for their dinner, articulating all the dishes' names.

Rachel and Joshua are having dinner at Rachel's but Josh is freaked out about the birds. He suggests going to his parents' home. Rachel says their home is a real babe magnet. Rachel asks if there is somewhere she can freshen up. She wears a long black jacket.

Josh's parents have come home early. Rachel put on her sexy nightie and sit on the couch. She is shocked to see Josh's parents with him.

The next day she tells the girl that the waiter spilled water on her back and when she jumped her boob popped out. She says she has really nice boobs so whatever.

Phoebe tells Chandler she will name the baby after him and he has to keep his name. Chandler is a wonderful name.

OK but abit bla

[twanster-97655 · 5/10 · 3 January 2022]

Naming the baby is super funny, Ross being jealous is super funny.. Rachel getting caught in a provocative dress with her boring BF josh is boring. Unpopular opinion but almost every relationship she has in this show was boring. Not her, just the stories they created for her with guys.. from Josh to Pablo to Tag, even the on off stuff with ross became boring because it became unnecessarily long and because of this, we never got to see them settle down.

Hi, hi, you're crazy

This is a mixed episode.

The 'Rachel's night with Josh' story line was OK, there were some nice jokes in there, and a nice cameo from Matthew Perry's father, John Bennett Perry too.

I found Ross very annoying here. Talk about being paranoid! Although I liked the fact that the writers were still using Carol and Susan at this point (that wouldn't last) this story line grated with me.

I enjoyed the Chandler/Joey/Phoebe story much better, and there's some nice interaction between all three characters.

An average episode, they can't all be amazing.
