The One Where Chandler Can't Cry

The idea that Chandler can't cry was kind of funny, although I wouldn't think that about him. But i loved the line where he says: "Yes, it was very sad when they stopped drawing the deer". Another nice moment was when he throws the book under the couch and it flies out. But the ending of this story wasn't very well developed in my opinion

The porn story was kind of irritating. It kind of got me mad when they started talking bad about Phoebe when they thought she was in it, the only one who proved to be a good friend was Joey. And Phoebe was prude too when she was insulting people working with Ursula. Not everyone should want to do it, but there is no need to be judgemental towards people who do
