One of the Top Ten

This is without a doubt one of the best episodes of friends. there are 3 different plots for characters and all are as funny as each other. and of course... there's Danny DeVito...

so bad

This episode is from the 3-4 worst ones of the entire series..no theme was funny and especially the de vito's part was almost embarassing with no sense at all..

a 1/10 episode in a 10/10 series.

Friends writers can't do math

Another episode where the writers didn't stick with a timeline that makes sense. The series started in 1994 and Monica in the 1st season says she's 26. Even being generous and assuming Monica and Ross are only a year apart that would make Ross 27 and born roughly in 1967. Unless he's Doogie Howser there's no way he graduated college in 1991 as an undergrad and had his PhD and was a paleontologist 3 years later. Realistically he and Chandler would have graduated in 1988 in order for him to have enough time to complete the additional schooling needed to be a doctor of Paleontology. They messed up the dates so many times it's embarrassing.

It always sunny with Danny

Cameos in long running series can take you out of the story. This is not the case here filled with cameos and three different plots at the same time could have felt very different and not in tune with the normal friends episode instead it's filled with laughs right up the the reveal of the final 💋 kiss .

Short

I like the bit with Danny de Vito in it. He looks like a cop but he's really a stripper

Trivia
The parts with Joey on "Pyramid" were shot on the "Pyramid" set. The "Pyramid" audience got a big surprise when they thought they were there to watch a real game of "Pyramid" but instead got to watch the taping for a "Friends" episode.

Goofs
On "Pyramid", Gene ends up going to the Winner's Circle with Joey after winning round two. However, the two did not play on the same team for that round. Gene would have gone to the Winner's Circle with Leslie Charleson, who was his partner for that round.

Quotes
Ross: [on attending a party in 1987 with Rachel] After you told me that she was passed out in our room, I went in there to make sure she was alright. She was lying on my bed, all buried in people's coats. Well, I went to kiss her on the forehead, but it was so dark I accidentally got her lips. I started to pull away - but then I felt her kissing me back. It was only for a second, but it was amazing! And now I found out that you kissed her first!
Chandler: Wait - what bed did you say she was on?
Ross: Mine.
Chandler: I'm pretty sure I put her on *my* bed.
Ross: No, she was defintely on my bed.
Chandler: Why would I kiss a girl and then put her on *your* bed?
Ross: Well, then, who was on my bed?
Monica: ...Oh! Oh! Oh!
Ross: [horrified] No! No! No!
Monica: Yes!
Ross: You were under the pile of coats?
Monica: I *was* the pile of coats.
Ross: Oh, my god!
Monica: You were my midnight mystery kisser?
Ross: You were my first kiss with Rachel?
Monica: You were my first kiss ever?
Chandler: ...What did I marry into?
