The One Where Rachel Tells...

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 1 September 2011]

Rachel telling it to Ross was just hilarious. His complete shock and being unable to talk was done so well. And when it comes to condoms it is very fun as well. Of course it is unbelievable that Ross (and Joey) wouldn't know that condoms aren't 100% effective but it was great to see how he was calling the condom company to complain

The scene at the doctor's office is great as well. It is pretty funny how Rachel doesn't see the fetus but lies because she is afraid it would make he look like a bad mother

Phoebe had some great lines. "This door was like a child to them" and "This is brand new information!" were both very funny

I liked the original story of Monica and Chandler much better than what they filmed after. Too bad it had to be replaced because of 9/11

The one Rachel tells the father's identity

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 14 April 2009]

Rachel tells everybody that she is going to tell the baby's father the pregnancy news, but Phoebe, Monica and Joey already know it is Ross,since the red sweater belongs to him. Everybody is excited and Rachel asks the Friends a help to how tell Ross about the new.

Chandler is upset that Monica didn't say anything about Rachel's pregnancy, but she tells him that he doesn't know how to keep a secret.

Chandler and Monica are going to their honeymoon, and are angry that another couple who is on honeymoon and a little forward to then, are always taking the good things from the first class, making them not have any benefits.

Phoebe forgets her guitar inside Monica's apartment, but since nobody else has it's key anymore,Joey and her invented a lie that her apartment is leaking gas, so the fireman can destroy the door and she can enter to take the guitar.

Phoebe and Joey tells Ross that Rachel wants to talk to him, but he thinks that Rachel wants to sleep with him again. When Rachel tells him that she is pregnant, he stays totally ''freezed''.

Another good series 8 episode

[studioAT · 6/10 · 25 July 2017]

For whatever reason there was almost an air of a 'comeback' about the 8th series of 'Friends' and its all the better for it.

The 'Rachel's having a baby' story line is very much at the centre of this and there's lots of humour to be found as she tries to tell Ross that he's the father.

Joey and Phoebe are largely side-lined, but have some nice moments working together in a slight third story line.

Of course sadly the Monica/Chandler story line had to be re-written as a response to 9/11 and while that makes for the odd continuity error, the story line that the writers came up with quickly is actually quite good.

This is another good series 8 episode.

Barely enjoyable...barely watchable

[jpapanone · 5/10 · 23 June 2021]

Monica officially an annoying character.

Chandler. Eh. Pretty much neutered since he married Monica, playing a 2nd fiddle to her annoyances.

Ross. Not that bad here. A misunderstanding on his part leads to some funny moments.

Rachel...the pregnancy continues her spiral into a terrible character, so this is the beginning of that.

The show stopped being what it was a while ago, and this just continues that trend.

Instead of finding its bottom, the show continues to plunge down ever so more.

Phoebe and Joey's plot was actually funny.

Typical classic Friends funny. Light, airy, funny. Not annoying or so over the top that its distracting. Just bordering on the unrealistic and absurd to be enjoyable instead of abandoning reality for a cheap laugh, as this show seemingly prefers doing.

monica!!!!

[sudarshan-52058 · 7/10 · 18 January 2020]

God I hate her. Loud. Overacting. Sometimes Ross is so nice. sometimes he is a jerk. How can he force Rachael to marry him?

Chandler changes colour & face in opening scenes

[relateremate · 29 February 2024]

So just watching this episode and within the first minutes Chandler changes hair & face. Before the themesong even started. So weird. Like months apart in only those few minutes. His hair is up and eyes are normal, than he walks away to get his shorts for the honeymoon. Comes back after minutes & hair is short & flatter and the eyes face way more puffy. And much more orange tan. Guess some filming was mixed or Re-done when his heavy years start kicking in. If I could add pictures here right now..... Just observation. Sad.

Scrolling forward to the airport he is back to the first scene. Less orange & puffy. Hair normal & up. Makes it a weird add in those few seconds before the theme song.

Ross Finds Out

[vivianla · 27 December 2020]

Monica and Chandler go to the airport and get annoyed when a couple ahead of them get a bunch of free stuff for being on their honeymoon.

Everyone finds out except for Ross. Ross finds Rachel waiting for him at his door, sitting on the floor. Ross assumes she wants sex again and says he can do it again one more time.

Rachel tells Ross she is pregnant and he is shocked to learn that condoms work like 97 percent of the time. He calls Trojan's president.

Joey is shocked to learn that condoms don't always work and pulls out a long string of condoms to check the effectiveness.

Rachel goes to the gynaecologist and her feet are set apart. She wears a blue hospital gown and a sheet covers her lower half. Ross keeps lingering around her lower half and she has to constantly remind Ross to be near her head.

Ross thinks they should get married and Rachel asks if that is his answer to everything. They aren't even in love.

They look at the sonogram together.
