Something about the November 14 episode......

spoiler

What the hell was up with Phoebe? That was a great example of terrible writing! Phoebe may be flakey, but she's not clueless enough to tell all those things, especially the pimp spitting in her mouth and her and Mike's "activities"! I know she was nervous, but come on! What was up with her last night? That was easily the poorest writing for the character of Phoebe EVER on the show!

Ross and Rachel's "Baby Got Back" bit was absolutely hilarious! Why don't they just get married? At this point, they are acting more like a real life married couple. A couple that's been married for a couple of years and are over the honeymoon phase. I see Ross and Rachel as a realistic married couple (based on the late pregnancy/post Emma's birth period), and Chandler and Monica as a stereotyped, typical TV newlywed couple.

I agree, Phoebe's "upscale" voice was very irritating. And the dramatic part about Mike telling his parents that he loved her was so clich�

I loved this part too. The baby is absolutely gorgeous. The Monica/Chandler/Joey part was ok too. Certainly one of the better episodes of this season

I absolutely agree. That whole subplot was quite lame. I found myself cringing several times (hey, remember when we used to have a thread in this group about which was "the most cringeworthy scene"?).

I thought so, too. I mean, yeah, she's weird and has different ideas about what's OK to share, but even she's not normally THAT socially inept! Some of those details (like the pimp giving her hepatitis) were things that, AFAIK, we've never heard her tell anyone, but she shares it with them.

I thought it was valiant of her to attempt to eat the baby cow to try to please Mike's parents, though.

Of course, I guess now we know how Phoebe affords that nice apartment on a massage therapist's income - she has all that extra from the tax evasion!

I thought so, too, especially when Rachel started really getting into it. How old is Emma, anyway? I can't think she's more than a month or two old at this point, which IME is pretty darn early to start laughing!

In the Nov. 7 episode, Ross mentioned that she's two months old. Maybe parents on the group can tell us when their babies' first laughs happened?

Belphoebe, expecting baby #1 in March (and laugh #1 in May?)

Piggybacking on my own post to add: I realized after hitting "send" that I "recognize" you from mkp, iphigenia. How old was Gabe when he first got the giggles?

Belphoebe

she's just really bright?

*iphigenia* :

[Emma's laughing]

Well, she already got the looks from her mom[1] ...

[1] See 824, the Ross and Phoebe talk: Phoebe: I just can't decide who she looks more alike, you or Rachel? Ross: Oh what are you kidding? She's gorgeous, it's all Rachel.

Ah. I'm having a boy too, so won't have a basis of comparison. :)

Parents of daughters--how early did your girls start laughing?

My nephew laughed at me when he was just 6 weeks old. And I didn't even have to rap :P

The entire bit about the Monica/Richard tape was ripped off from the Coupling episode, "The Cupboard of Patrick's Love" , where it's discovered that Patrick posesses a tape of him and his ex-girlfriend Susan ( who is now with Steve, another regular ). When the tape is viewed, it's discovered that it had been taped over.

discovered

now

that

Anyway, the Joey-Action was quite funny. I mean, it was fuuuunnnnnnny :oD
