Oooooh a live one!!
Chandler is talking to Ross and Joey about his fertility problems and how they don't want a surrogacy. Joey says "so I don't have to learn what that means?" But but but but his good friend Phoebe was a surrogate - with hilarious results... |

I know it's because he is playing a character and not himself, but I always found it quite amusing that, considering how much Chandler and Joey mention how much they love the movie Die Hard, they never realise that Bruce Willis dates Rachel for an episode
![]() ![]() I thought that they could put in a reference in there or something. Anyway, it's nice to know someone else realised it. |

It amazed me that Joey was even able to function once we got to the latter series'. He went from being slightly stupid but cute to just plain dumb. The show lost its way in the last few seasons.

I know it was incredibly stupid, but the episode with Joey trying to learn French makes me giggle every time. As part of my job I teach a second language to four and five year olds, and it very much reminded me of my frequent struggles to get them to repeat seemingly simple phrases correctly!

Didn't Chandler blurt out to Monica that he loved her twice?
First time during the The One With The Knife Through The Wicker Shoes Flashback and Monica puts a fake turkey on her head, then a fez then a giant pair of sunglasses and he says "you're so funny, I love you!" Second time during The One Where He Flirts With Phoebe In The One Where They Don't Know We Know They Know where he can't kiss Phoebe "because I'm in love with Monica!". I don't know if it's an inconsistency or not but I always recall that he blurted it out twice to her surprise. |

He only kissed Mrs Altman. Carol was the first woman he slept with.
I think the biggest inconsistency is that Rachel and Chandler knew each other when they were younger, when in the first few series they supposedly didn't meet until much later. However, you could argue that they saw each other so infrequently they forgot they had met before (despite kissing). Rachel especially could have forgotten about Chandler, like she did with Will, who she supposedly bullied for years. Pilot episode - Monica introduces Rachel to everyone. TOW Rachel finds out - Chandler references Ross falling in love with Carol at college (the assumption that Rachel, Ross, Carol, Chandler and Monica were at college together) TOW The Flashback - Rachel comes to NY with her bridesmaids and she meets and fantasizes about making out with Chandler. TOW The Thanksgiving Flashbacks - he meets Rachel (and her big nose) for the first time. that last one also contradicts Chandler's surprise at Rachel's old nose in TWO The Prom Video Granted I'm being a bit sad pointing this out, but it is the most glaring of the Friends continuity issues

I always find that if I tune in and find Matthew Perry wearing glasses it's likely to be the season the roughly in the middle of the shows run and my least favorite because it was a very poor one.

Well why would you watch it? And if you didn't, why is it a problem that others did? Lame.

In one of the early episodes, Joey and Chandler offer to take Ross to hockey for his birthday, and the date in that episode is said to be October 20th! He says, "my birthday was 7 months ago," meaning his birthday was March, yet in the episode where Ross tries to punch Joey and breaks his thumb, they fill out his details, Ross says "you know my birthday!?" And Joey says "May-tem-ber???" And Ross says "OCTOBER 18"!

I don't think Monica was surprised in the flirting with Phoebe episode, it just came as news to Joey, Phoebe and Rachel.

I can kinda excuse the Rachel/Chandler thing as I know I kissed one of my friends older brother at a nightclub, now he could walk past me and I'd not know him from Adam.

It would explain how Rachel and Monica lost touch for so long too. With whole Chandler/Rachel thing, I could kinda understand that Rachel was so self absorbed back then she wouldn't have registered Chandler and he wouldn't have really remembered her from a one off meeting (although with the amount of pining Ross did , surely he would be interested to meet THE Rachel Green) ... But then somewhere between Chandler meeting her and Monica chopping off his toe then he kissed Rachel at the college party...and remembered it for 10-15 years but didn't remember Rachel when he saw her again? Messy messy messy! |

She was a very very selfish character, totally unlikeable in my view for the most part. |

She is a veggie who ate meat when she was pregnant, which is understandable. I never got the reaction from Monica over the whole mugging incident. She actually told her it was 'awful'. You know what else is awful? A child living on the streets of NY. I don't know what reaction Monica wanted from Pheebs, but she shouldn't have been made to feel bad for something she did to survive when she was a child. She didn't hurt anyone. She just scared the crap out of a young geeky Ross ![]() Also, the cop stabbed her first

C'mon, this is a Sitcom we are talking about here not a drama best not to over analyze it
.It was still funny, thats what matters. They all became caricatures of themselves, Monica went from a a bit particular to neurotic, Phoebe went from zany to crazy and Joey from a bit dim to stupid. |

She was a very very selfish character, totally unlikeable in my view for the most part. I think they did a similar thing with Rachel when she was overdue with Emma where she was snapping at the others. Either way, it's a sitcom and Phoebe's lines in that episode were hilarious. They're not 3D characters, they're just caricatures designed for their one liners. One of the most memorable I remember from Phoebe was: Rachel - A little girl just told me she loved me so I gave her everything. Phoebe - No wonder you're pregnant. Hilarious and true, Rachel was a bit of a tart.

Also when Phoebe tried to break up Frank and Alice just because she was older.

The episode where Phoebe meets her real father really annoyed me, because from then on he was never referred to or seen again.
