Friends (TV Series) The One with the Proposal: Part 1 (2000) User Reviews

Chandler is going to propose to Monica!!

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 9 June 2009]

Chandler shows all Friends the engagement ring he bought for Monica, and he tells them that he is going to propose Monica today. He has the perfect way to propose: during a perfect dinner. While they have dinner, Monica sees Richard and invites him to dinner with her and Chandler, what makes Chandler's idea to propose her doesn't work.

Rachel call the Friends to a charity event for the kids, and Phoebe and Joey are the ones who confirmed their presence.Ross cannot go, since he is going out with Elizabeth.

All Friends think that Ross' relationship doesn't have any future,since Elizabeth is very young, but Ross says he doesn't care. However, when he sees her throwing water balloons with her friends and one of her friends calls him ''dad'', Ross decides to end the relationship.(Ross feels like a babysitter near her and her friends.)

In the charity event, Joey gives a bid in an auction for a boat of U$2,000. Joey doesn't have the money, since he gave the bid only for fun, so Rachel tries to help him to fix everything.

The One with the Proposal: Part 1

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 19 August 2011]

My favorite part of this episode is the charity for children. Rachel really got herself some trouble by taking Joey and Phoebe to it. Phobe was just taking advantage of the open bar, i love her line where she says that she is doing it for the kids because the more she drinks the less there is for the kids to drink. And Joey buys a boat he can't afford. It is also very funny how Rachel tries to convince the next highest bidder to get the boat and the result is just that Joey wants to keep it

The end of Ross and Elizabeth's relationship was pretty funny as well. I don't really get what is so wrong with a water balloon fight every once in a while, not everyone is such a boring human as Ross;s sister, some people like to have fun. But I like how he thinks that she handled the relationship in a very mature way and she throws a balloon at him out of the window

I won't say much about Chandler and Monica, I will let it all out in my next review, but I must say she seemed way too happy about seeing Richard

Chandler booo

[RACY1987 · 10/10 · 15 June 2021]

Chandler's first attempt to propose that didn't go well is KARMA. Remember when he ruined another man's proposal just to swap a ring?!

I don't understand why he is so upset that the proposal didn't go well.p.

Richard Interrupts Proposal

[vivianla · 23 December 2020]

Chandler has got it planned out. He will propose to her instead of raising his glass for a toast.

Monica wears a hot pink dress.

Joey and Phoebe go with Rachel to her boss's charity event.

Richard comes into the restaurant with his date, ruining Chandler's plans.

Chandler pretends to act like he is uninterested in marriage. Monica says marriage is to solidify your relationship, to declare to the world your love for one another.

At work, Monica is told she has somebody who wants to compliment the chef. Richard comes in and admits he still loves her.

Matthew Perry

[scottwilliam-11107 · 8/10 · 4 January 2022]

I got some down votes due to my negative review of this episode but after re-watching the episode after Matthew Perry's death I realize that he had some really funny lines and some brilliant moments in this episode. When he tells Ross that 'if you're not careful you might not get married at all this year'...was a really funny line. And Matthew Perry's facial expressions during the dinner with Richard was also really funny and his reaction to Richard's toast (with just one word) was absolutely BRILLIANT and one of my most favorite moments of the series. After the dinner with Richard I felt like there was some mistreatment towards Monica but I digress. Rest in peace... Matthew Perry!

The One with the Proposal

[studioAT · 7/10 · 27 June 2021]

Other than a daft but fun subplot involving Joey this episode really sees the show moving through the gears, getting the characters either ready for the end of the sixth series (Monica and Chandler) of setting them up for the next (Ross ending things with Elizabeth).

Chandler's attempts to throw Monica off the scent about his proposal grated on me a little, but on the whole this is a nice episode.

Decent episode

[jpapanone · 6/10 · 14 August 2021]

Nothing too great. Nothing too bad.

Lot of forgettable stuff.

Joey funny. And Richard / Chandler was funny.
