Ross' apartment was that of ugly naked guy remember and they once thought he was dead, so used a giant poking device made of chopsticks to check. There was no way that could reach that far or take the weight. Plus it looked like the apartment was straight opposite Monica and Rachel.

On the birthday thing, Rachel seems to have a load of birthdays (the one where she finds out about Ross, the one with her divorced parents, the 'surprise party', she turns 30, the one with gavin) but the other characters seem to only have one,
Ross in the one about money, Joey in the one with his sisters, Phoebe has two I think one when Joey is dating Ursula and one when they are all late. Chandler and Monica don't really have birthdays mentioned. I think its funny, how Ross and Rachel were only in a relationship for a year. The way they go on about it like... |

Very strange. Even without the balcony there he wouldn't be able to see in :s
Also didn't Rachel have a really long pregnancy? I'm sure she found out she was pregnant in May and in an ep later on was the Thanksgiving ep (with Brad) when she should have been about 7mths gone still no bump. Think someone once said acc to when eps were set she had a 16mth pregnancy :s |

Yeah, it seemed really long because it was revealed in the season 7 finale and she only came out of hospital after giving birth in episode 2 of season 9.

The toilet in Joey's apartment changes position a lot. Sometimes its on right as you go in, sometimes on the left.
Also what happened to new baby chick and duck when Joey moved? This really should have been mentioned in the series Joey. |

Ross told Joey and Chandler, that his ex-wife Carol was the first woman he had sex with yet, in the episode with Ross' aversion to Tacos, it turns out he slept with the college cleaning lady.

I am pretty sure that one of joeys girlfriends shows up in a later episode as a completely different character. As the girlfriend, she's the one who is quite short, long wavy hair...who keeps punching joey really hard although she doesn't realise it.
I know she appears again later on...as someone else...but I can't remember the episode or scene....can anyone else...otherwise I might just have to start watching again! |

She was the receptionist at the chain massage parlour Pheobe went to work for - the one where she was pretending to be Ikea when giving Rachel a massage

Another one to add to the list, just watching the episode where Mike proposes. She completely messes that up for Mike and basically turns his proposal into an awkward joke..
That episode always annoyed me a little. When Phoebe turned it around and proposed to Mike at a football game, the crowd starting booing. If that had happened in real life, it would have been upsetting for the couple

That's actually a different actress, but she does kind of look like Soleil.
It was hardly Phoebe's fault though. She didn't know he would propose to her at a football game and she didn't know he was going to hide her ring in a cake. It's not like she mocked Mike on purpose. She just thought it was a cheesy way to propose. That episode always annoyed me a little. When Phoebe turned it around and proposed to Mike at a football game, the crowd starting booing.

Maybe they had watched Friends and though Phoebe was a pain in the ass too
![]() ![]() The scene did provide for one of my favourite lines in the show. "Boo us? BOO YOU!"

Unlike everyone else I really liked Phoebe. Strangely I never found her funny the first time round but now her and Ross are the ones who make me laugh out loud. I don't think she was bitchy at all, just 'out there' and so said what she thought without meaning to be nasty. One of the best characters on tv IMO.

I never liked Ross. In the earlier seasons he was a bore and too much of the straight man to everyone else's comedy. Then in the later seasons he was too whiny and whingy.
I really liked Phoebe, although I think that was all down to Lisa Kudrow. I think I'd have probably got as bored with her kookiness as I did with Joey's stupidity writing wise. But Lisa Kudrow's delivery made it what it was. She was hilarious. |

In 'The One Where Eveyone Is Late' (think that's the ep title), Rachel and Phoebe dress Emma up in Joey's Cabbage Patch dolls outfit. Now this must be a big doll, cos there's no way an outfit from ones I had as a little un would fit a child of Emma's age. At best they'd fit a premature v small baby.

It's more the fact that she is highly opinionated and has to have a say on practically everything rather than just sitting back and enjoying something without judging.
All Phoebe said was that proposing at a football game is tacky, which I'm sure a lot of people agree with. It wouldn't have even been an issue if Mike wasn't planning to propose the same way. |

What's wrong with being highly opinionated? Ross is highly opinionated too. Sometimes he refuses to acknowledge that other people have different opinions to his own.

Also they dressed Ben in a toys outfit too, they must have huge toys!! Just watching The Last One (for the 100th time) and maybe I'm soft when it comes to kids but does anyone thing it's weird that Rachel would fly across the globe without Emma and then have Emma fly across the globe without her, I know she was going with Rachel's mam but I dunno I'd be weird about that. Not that Ross cared either way, you'd think he would've wanted as much time with her as possible eh! |

Not that Ross cared either way, you'd think he would've wanted as much time with her as possible eh! You'd think Ross would wanna be with Emma more, maybe even offer to take her to Paris himself. But then he barely mentioned Ben in the last few series, it would have been nice to have seen Emma and Ben in some scenes together. |

Argh, when she was really p@ssed off with Ross, and mean to him for a whole episode, then it turned out he'd upset her in a dream - and he was fine with it! One of my main gripes is that no one ever just told her to eff off!

I loved that episode. Lisa Kudrow could make the slightest thing funny.
I remember when Phoebe and Ross were dating a divorced couple and were defending their partners and she says "Speaking of selfish in bed, how's Whitney?"

I think there's a period in the show where Joey's intelligence goes up - around Season 4 onwards, up to a point in Season 8 or so where he turns in to a kid in an adult's body. The French episode pushed it over the edge.
