I think it's the three marriages in 10 years and was divorced twice and did he and Rachel get the annulment?

Not sure of the episode name, but the one where Ross moves into Ugly Naked Guy's old apartment bugs me, this is the one where one of his neighbours is Stanford Blatch from Sex and the City.

Surely it is totally unreasonable for Ross to be expected to contribute $100 for a retiring handyman that he has never met?

Again, I know it's only used as a tool for humour, but surely there are numerous more reasonable reasons for the neighbours to ostracise Ross.

Yes, I also thought that it was unreasonable

And Phoebe snapped back into shape straight after giving birth to triplets!

Another one I was thinking of is the one where the valve breaks on the radiator in Monica's apartment and they have a beach themed party as it is so hot (even though it's Christmas time).

In the end Joey simply turns of the radiator underneath when he arrives at the apartment, but surely the 'super' Mr. Treeger who was at the party would have thought to do this?

He was clearly pretty crap though, so no surprise.


I disagree. regardless of the circumstances, he had been married and divorced three times by his early 30s. that's not trivial and certainly would have counted as "baggage" against him tryng to start up any other long term relationships.

Seeing their lives in detail we the viewer understand its not as bad as it seems, but some random girl who finds out? not going to be interested.

Just found this thread. I know you're all mentioning Friends gripes, but I can't seem to find another Friends thread. My favourite character is Ross. I do love them all for different reasons, but I think I've laughed the most at Ross over the years. Such a great character.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Estelle is Joey's agent and also a nurse in one of the earlier episodes. Also, the actress playing Susan changes!

In 'Joey' the agent he hires looks a lot like Monica old neighbour..

He was more interested in telling Rachel about misletoe

... Yeah, no that was basil....

Not sure if this has already been mentioned (I've searched the thread, but I might have missed it):

After Ross & Emily's failed wedding, Rachel goes on 'honeymoon' to Greece. How on earth did she manage to fly on a ticket which was presumably in the name of Emily Waltham/Geller, with a passport which says Rachel Green?

I know that airport security pre-9/11 was a little more lax, but not to that extent!

One moment that really bugs me is when Monica is trying to help Chandler keep fit in her usually over-enthusiastic way. But because Chandler is feeling lazy he basically rips apart Monica's whole life and tells her why she should be depressed. Not much of a friend really, he does it for purely selfish reasons and feels delighted when he's done it. I always feel irritated at the end of that episode.

I think you just have to take the nurse and Estelle as 2 separate characters.

And it wasn't the actress playing Susan that changed ... You're probably thinking of the actress playing Carol which did change after one episode.

That nobody agrees with Ross that Phoebe keeping someone else's cat and saying it's her mother is wrong. Why should he apologise for being right?

I know it's only a comedy but it irritates me.

Does anyone else think that Joey was slightly out of order for kissing Charlie at his rooftop party?

I mean, if your best friend brings what essentially looks like a date to your party, you'd at least check with them first, wouldn't you? He nearly did the same thing with Mona as well.

During Monica and Chandler's wedding reception, when Ross swaps his table place with a child, why did that not get sorted? Why did no one notice a child sitting in the best man's place?


I love Ross too. He annoyed me at first but after watching the whole show again I got to see what a brilliant character he is.


I think because Phoebe's mum died when Phoebe was so young, in such tragic circumstances, leading to a very sad life she kind of remains child-like in some ways. And she genuinely believed it was her mum so they humoured her because it brought her so much happiness, and none of them wanted to take that away from her.
Ross was, of course, right but could have maybe handled it a little more sensitively.

That bugged me too because Phoebe was a hypocrit, she was married 3 times!
Once to the gay ice dancer, then in the Vegas episodes we find out she go it married in Vegas a long time ago, then to Mike.

I was just watching the episode in series 2 where Rachel is a bridesmaid at Barry and Mindy's wedding and wears that awful pink dress, why were Monica and Richard invited? Monica didn't even know Barry and Mindy!

Always wondered this too. Maybe Richard was also mindy or barry's eye doctor as they were all from same place? Or could Barry's parents be friends with Richard as the Gellers were?

I assumed they all kind of knew each other, like Ross and Monica's parents knew Rachel's parents (and obviously Monica and Rachel were friends) because Jack mentioned how much Rachel's dad spent on her wedding to Barry. Jack and Judy were friends with Richard so I guess Rachel's parents were too (she mentioned him kissing her when she hurt herself as a child). So Barry and/or Mindy (or rather, their parents) probably knew Richard too and he was invited to the wedding, with Monica as his plus one.

I just watched the one with all the jealousy. If the guy holding the dance auditions knew the dance himself, why would he need Joey to teach them the dance later on?

I assumed basically he didn't have the time to do it because it wasn't his job.

Began re watching friends recently
I got the boxset a few years ago with all the uncut and extended episodes. I am gonna start season 4 soon.

No they got divorced. Ross brings her the divorce papers to sign. Rachel is his 3rd divorce.
