The One with Joey's Dirty Day

In this episode we get introduced to Emily. Her first scene on the show is very funny. So is her and Ross ending up in a bed and breakfast together and his conversation with Monica on the phone. It is also kind of nice to see Rachel being kind of "punished" for her selfishness

Chandler's post break up story was very cute. How the birds followed him (Rachel should really stop talking how she would like the rooster dead, someone being such an animal hater isn't funny), how he got out of the chair only when when stinky Joey came and his trip with the girls to the strip club. Phoebe once again shows that she is the best of the girls, she actually had some fun

Joey's stinking story wasn't too great. It had the amusing moments but it seemed not be done to its full potential
