    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This is the second episode Jon Lovitz guest-starred (in this same series) reprising Steve the stoner. The previous one was The One with the Stoned Guy (1995).
    • Goofs
      Phoebe purposefully sets Rachel up on a miserable date with Steve (Jon Lovitz), who was introduced in the first season episode, "The One With The Stoned Guy" where Rachel waitresses for Monica's "audition dinner" for his restaurant. Rachel appears oblivious to the fact that when they had met before, he was stoned and the audition went horrible and makes no mention of their prior acquaintance. She goes forward with the date anyway, most likely to appear polite even though she may implicitly recall their first encounter.

    This is one of the worst episodes of friends
    This is a great example to use to compare how friends gets it wrong....to contrast with a good episode of how friends gets it right.

    Episodes like this that make me happy it ended... Angry they did this to this once great show... And puzzled if whoever was responsible or involved in the making of it thought it was good.

    Stay away from this episode.

    The only bright spot was a young Sam Pancake popping up as the waiter.

    I love Lovitz, and even his role fell flat.

    Only funny thing was joey about how lazy chandler is having sex.
