In this episode we see a different side to the chandler character very well played by Canadian actor Matthew Perry who displays extreme embarrassment at her mom being a successful novelist but don't you dare kiss her! Morgan Fairchild should have been in more episodes

The One with Mrs. Bing
ComedyFan20109 June 2011
Warning: Spoilers
In this episode we meet Chandler's mom, Nora Bing who is quite a character. This episode shows us very well how she has embarrassed Chandler throughout his life and she does it now again by making out with Ross, the "motherkisser", who was very upset at that time
We alsoget laughs from Joey trying to convince Ross that his mother is a hotwoman too and Rachel's attempt to write an erotic novel but with manyspelling mistakes that just make everyone laugh
Phoebe and Monica see ahot guy on the street that gets hit by a car and falls into coma. They come to visit him every day and project their view of an ideal man on him. This is done pretty boring, while it was a good idea it was just too stretched and stopped being funny pretty soon

The one with Chandler's mom

Warning: Spoilers
In this episode, Monica and Phoebe feel bad after seeing a handsome unknown guy that they were flirting, having an accident. They decide to visit him at the hospital and making him company while he is coma. The problem is that they start to compete to see who will be the one staying more time with him and eventually date him when he gets out of the coma.
Paolo and Rachel continue to date, and everybody meets Chandler's mother, Nora Bing, a very famous romance writer, that is also very beautiful and sexy.
When everyone is having dinner, Ross takes too much wine, and he and Nora eventually ends up kissing each other. Joey is the only one who saw the scene, and he makes pressure on Ross to tell Chandler what happened between then (Chandler ends up the episode having a long talk with his mother, telling her all the things she does that makes him upset).

The One With The Hottest Mother

Warning: Spoilers
Chandler's mom visits this group of friends, who happens to be a best selling author and a very gorgeous lady herself. They all meet her for dinner where Ross kissed her and that's when things become funny and ugly. Joey trying to prove that her mother too is sexy just made me laugh even more. This episode even has a super hilarious story going on with Monica and Phoebe where they are in love with a guy in coma. The ending with Rachel showing her writing was amazingly funny.
THE BEST SCENE.

The One Where Phoebe And Monica Fight Over The Guy In A Coma...

Warning: Spoilers
I enjoyed this episode. It's not one of my favorite episodes of the series, or even the series. In fact, it's probably one of my lowest rated episodes. It has some funny moments. I liked it, but I don't love it.
In this episode, Chandler's Mother, who is a best-selling romance novelist, comes to visit him. She takes everyone out for dinner, and after having too much wine, she kisses Ross. Ew. Meanwhile, Phoebe and Monica see an attractive man get run over and he ends up in a coma. They visit him and wait for him to wake up, so they can ask him out. They both fight over who should get him.
Best part of the episode: The coma scenes.
Worst part of the episode: Ross and Chandler's Mother kissing.
Overall, I give this episode a 6 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Good.

Not As Good As Previous Perry Focused Episodes
slightlymad2221 November 2014
Normally an episode of "Friends" that prominently features Matthew Perry's Chandler raises the quality, but it's bit the case here.
Plot In A Paragraph: Chandler's (Matthew Perry) flamboyant romance-novelist mother comes to New York to promote her latest book which means he has to ensure a visit, and when they all go out for a meal a Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) brings Paulo which upsets Ross (David Schwimmer) and he gets very drunk, and makes an embarrassing mistake that puts his friendship with Chandler in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Monica (Courtney Cox) and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) fight over a guy they accidentally helped put in a coma.
Not a bad episode, just not as good as the four in a row where Perry knocked it out of the park. I'm disappointed Paulo continues to return, as I'm not a fan of his. It's no fault of Cosimo Fuco who does what he can with the character.

No need for a review from me. Just read all the others

They pretty much cover everything.
A very decent episode. Worth a rewatch every 5 to 10 years?
Not a must see again.
Just the gang doing stuff...typical sitcom style.
I think Joey defending his mom's looks a few times made me laugh the most.
Everything else was just ho hum.
I know he's "the bad guy", but watching these episodes 20 years later.... I like Paolo. He never really does anything deserving of the ire. Well...until later on at the massage place.
