A Touching Ending To The Episode

[slightlymad22 · 9/10 · 11 December 2014]

Not as great as the last episode, but still enjoyable Plot In A Paragraph: Joey and Chandler fall out over Joeys unhygienic cleaning habits, and Monica and Richard struggle to keep their relationship a secret at Monica's Dad's birthday party.

Although pivotal to the plot, I did not like the Joey and Chandler falling out story, and hated seeing Chandler all sad and alone in the apartment after Joey leaves. A Touching Ending To The Episode as Joey comes back for one more hug from his best friend.

Matthew Perry and Matt Le Blanc both nailed it in this episode, the both absolutely knocked it out of the park. Job well done guys

The One With Ross's Parents Having Sex

[devashishparnami · 9/10 · 10 February 2018]

Phoebe talks Rachel into getting a tattoo despite, or rather because of, Ross's disapproval. At dad Jack Geller's birthday party, Dr. Richard Burke has some trouble hearing comments about his unspecified date, Monica more hearing about hers and the worst when she's accidentally in the bathroom while her parents get intimate. After a tiny row about using each-others stuff, even soap, Joey considers moving out of Chandler's apartment to live alone for the first time now he has a good contract and another actor moves to an even posher one.

The One Where Joey Moves Out

[ComedyFan2010 · 10/10 · 20 June 2011]

I love this episode. The part where Monica and Richard go to Jack Geller's birthday was just too funny. All the scenes where Monica gets to hear about Richard's tvinkie in the city and Jack questioning him about his young girlfriend. And Monica gets to witness her parents doing it when hiding in the bathroom. Them telling it to the Geller's is also great, Ross taking away the baseball bat and hiding the crystal while preparing for it was hilarious and Judy's reaction was also brilliant

The story of Joey and Chandler is also great. It is one of the most touching ones for me. It is so sad to see Chandler alone in the apartment after his roomie moved out, and Joey coming back and giving him a big hug is a very sweet moment.

I like the bit where they make fun of Richard for being old.

Christina Pickles and Audrie J. Neenan

[navyblueblood · 6/10 · 20 July 2007]

This is too weird! I saw this episode tonight, and noticed that Mrs. Geller (the "Mom") was played by Christina Pickles. When I saw her during the show, I thought to myself that she looked (though thinner) just like the rough woman in Clint Eastwood's "Sudden Impact" (who Dirty Harry turns down by stating "Never with animals". So, I drop by IMDb and check out Christina Pickles, and search to find any movies she acted in with Clint Eastwood, and the search came up empty. Then I went to "Sudden Impact", read the plot summary, and checked out the character "Ray Parkins", and it turned out that Ray Parkins (the "rough woman" as I call her) was played by Audrie J. Neenan, who was also in this episode (as "Emily") of "Friends"!!!! Now that's WEIRD!!!!

Joey and Chandler steal the show

[studioAT · 5/10 · 23 April 2017]

The Joey and Chandler dynamic was one of the best things about the early years of 'Friends' and this was one of the first occasions where the writers tried giving them their own little storyline across various episodes.

Matthew Perry and Matt Le Blanc of course rise to the challenge effortlessly, and this episode allows them to play both comedy and dramatic moments well.

The Rachel and Phoebe storyline is pure a throwaway sitcom storyline, but there's fun to be had in the other story involving Monica and Doctor Richard Burke, played by guest star Tom Selleck.

A good episode overall.
