Matt LeBlanc has the *best* comedic realization shots.
he really does!!!
Joey saying "IN LONDONNNNNN???" will always be hilarious. I love love love when he first realizes and his eyes get super wide. Definitely one of the great moments of the entire series.
spoilers, what are we doing here
@@bEsTsMiLePeRsOnwhat part is a spoiler? The thing I commented on was in the episode he watched in this video.
Joey has the best reaction to the realization. And despite Joey's absent mindedness at times, he's no fool, he proved that here. He put all the pieces together.
i dunno i can think of two other friends that have better reactions lol
@@edo27literally lol
@@edo27 to each their own, they are all good, but I like his best.
@@edo27 that's the closest I've seen to a spoiler without being specific
At least you have the best. I still keep changing my mind😅 my eyes, my eyes!
Oh wait, In Londonnnnn, nope can't make up my mind
"Were you... or were you NOT... On a GAY CRUISE?!" 😂😂🤣
As he now learned, it was the complete opposite. Chandler was being the best Monica ever had 🎉🎉🎉😂😂
It usually takes Joey to put 2 and 2 together. This is literally the fastest we've ever seen him realize something 😂
Phoebe saying "I know, it's la pooh right now" will never fail to crack me up 😂😂😂😂
After seing this episode, now I always have to say "IN LONDON?!?!!" in Joey's voice, when I hear London :D Friends had so much influence on me.
I love how Joey was the first person to find out about them. And it's not like he walked in on them while they were doing it either. He figured it out all on his own based on context clues. Its big brain Joey moments like this that makes me love him as a character..
"Ross is funnier when he is single and goes through things" - boy are you in for a treat! Ross is by far the funniest of the group and all his best moments are yet to come
this season is when Ross turned from Ross to ROSS!!!! David completely transforms starting this season and becomes one of my faves if not my fave.
Absolutely, I think the writers realised that too..Ross was hilarious in seasons 1-5 but David had so much more to give and hence all the craziest storylines were given to him and David completely nailed them.
I think they also realized that their original idea(s) for the Ross and Rachel story didn’t really work, so they let both actors breathe more
@@edo27 He transforms, eh? Was there a particular scene in which this pivot occurs?
@@johnmaster3748 LOL. Ahhhh ...i see what you did there. *points to head "you have the freshwater eel"
Watching this show as an adult made me realize that while Emily was in the right, the relationship would have never worked because Ross broke trust and the both of them would've been miserable if it kept going.
Monica and Chandler are just amazing together and it is so fun to see their relationship building. They are funny, healthy and clearly in love.
Great reaction as always, I love how you pick up at things that not everybody is able to on their first watch.
Keeping Chandler and Monica's a secret through the season is the best B plot ever!
Oscar, you don't know how difficult it is for me NOT to say anything of upcoming episodes, because I know how everything turns out BUT in my time of battling a multiple health problems, watching people like yourself & #NickReacts for the first time, brings back the joy and memories I had when I saw them for the first time.
to be fair to monica nad rachel, they were two women alone in a scary place and Danny came from the shadows holding a pickaxe lol. i mean...it is new york. can you blame them for panicking? they prolly woulda just said hi if the lights were on when he walked in
"it's fun telling people when you're in a situation like that"
I would find it terrifying given that they're all in a tight knit friend group. It would be so weird, especially considering you won't know exactly how everyone will react initially.
They also see the whole Ross and Rachel mess. They might be worried how group will react to another possible drama.
They did the Emily character dirty.
I mean everything that came close to the ross and rachel oxic relationship beacme contaminated saddly
oh this whole monica and chandler thing is gonna be so much fun for u to see;PP
"Oh, c'mon, you lift right out." ~ Rachel. One of my favorite moments for Jennifer Aniston's delivery. 🤪
Just keeps getting better from here. Thanks for the great reaction.
As someone that dated one of their friends, there’s a certain element of worry when it comes to telling everyone you know. Some people will think it’s a bad idea and won’t be very supportive, sometimes other friends get jealous and it causes problems. Sometimes other friends also like the friend. Plus once other people know then that leaves room for interference etc etc. so I fully understand Monica and chandler not wanting to jump straight to telling everyone, especially so early into the relationship.
I also really resonate with phoebes struggle with the fur coat, I’m the same way. It’s so beautiful and soft but I know where it came from and I know how they got it and I know that it’s morally tapped to wear somethings skin 🥲
I think Monica and Chandler don't want to tell everyone right away probably because it's new and exciting and they want to keep inside their own bubble for a while. And if it goes badly early on they can deal with it without outside input whereas if they don't work out early on into their relationship and everyone knew, it might cause some problems and people in the group will have opinions about it
Also, considering everything that's going on with Ross and Rachel, plus the past with that guy Kip and Monica, I suppose it's just normal for them trying to preserve their relationship in the beginning until they feel safe and confident without letting the external drama get in the way.
Yeah. At the end of the day, their friendship is more important to them. They've seen Ross and Rachel get together and break up and it had lasting effects on the entire group. There was that entire length of time where they had to do things with one of them at a time and they were both kinda competing for their attention and fighting whenever they were in the same room. They hated that. They all hated that. They're not gonna want to risk putting everyone through that again. They're not gonna want to risk having everyone take sides. They just want to figure out what they are to each other without getting everyone else's opinions on it. It's their relationship and the second everyone in the group knows, it's everyone's relationship.
Tbf *SPOILER*
.

When they do all eventually learn about it, Ross is in a fury until he finds out Chandler and Monica actually love each other...and they don't get there until that episode, so they were, in their words, worried about how he would take the news considering all that's been going on.
Also once everyone knows and accepts it, they tease Chandler about commitment and it almost scares him off. Fortunately by then him and Monica were together long enough and admitted that they were in love, so the resolution was quick albeit not without Chandler doing something a bit nutty first.
They really did need the time to feel their relationship out first and build confidence on their own which is valid because both of them have huge insecurities esp when it comes to longterm relationships.
We're all in for such a treat over the next few episodes. 😂😂😂 I literally can't wait.
Right!!!😂
I love Joey’s reaction😁😁
The only time he figures it out quicker than anyone else
Haha you trying to pronounce squirrel in an American way is just too adorable. Haha 😅
English: Squirrel
American: Skurl
Emily calling the girls apartment and then acting all butthurt that Rachel is AT HER OWN HOME!!!
Like seriously? Her demands were completely unreasonable
yes they were. but tbf she gave him all these demands bc the moment he said Rachel’s name at the altar all trust was lost and so she behaved unreasonably. it would’ve never worked regardless if he saw Rachel again or not bc she would’ve always had that doubt in the back of her head.
I feel genuinely bad for Emily, the character, because she's totally in the right about not trusting Ros and Rachel in the same room . They just need her to be so ridiculous it invalidates that she's right, because it would make Ros and Rachel unsympathetic. And those two set a really low bar for Emily to undercut.
@@thisismaria27She should have not married Ross then. I mean who marries a man that say his ex's name at the altar? Emily has herself to blame for this...
@@ntiadicted absolutely agreed! she should’ve never gone through with it in the first place. but here we are and I guess she is asking these big things from him bc she subconsciously knows that it’s over. she wanted ross to prove her doubts wrong which would’ve never worked no matter what he did bc this relationship was over as soon as they got married.
@@ntiadicted she was probably in denial. It's not easy to run off your own wedding, to see your dreams destroyed in front of you. While she was at the altar and she decided to continue she wasn't probably thinking through it, she was just panicking. After the wedding she realized probably what really happened and that it would have never work out.
I don’t think you’ll ever realise how much we love the friends reactions Oscar! As someone who watched them on repeat as a comfort, watching them through fresh eyes is so amazing!
12:02 ICONIC😳9:20 Ross is getting married, but he's still Monica's [brother], so they'd still see each other sometimes. And Ross and Chandler have been friends since college. Objectively Phoebe _is_ the one with the weakest connections to the group.
You meant brother right?
"you always stick up for the people we fog" hahahahah that scene makes me laugh out loud every time, especially Chandler's expression when Rachel mentions A YETI
"In London?!?!!!" never gets old 😂😂😂😂 The series gets SOOOOOOOO good from here on out!! ❤❤
Yep, we say squirrel like it rhymes with whirl. Sqwhirl. Lol
You have no idea how often my sister and I still manage to inject "In LONDON!" into everyday conversation. All these years later.
-Okay, what is in here? Rocks?
-No, no. This is my collection of fossil samples.
-So... rocks.
How dare Rachel be in her own home .
This is an appreciation post to Monica's pigtails, i love every time she has that hairstyle, too cute❤
The "they know" arc...😃
The real reason Monica and Chandler don't want to tell anyone is that it makes for hilarious television.
There's definitely an element of it being fun to keep it secret early in a relationship.
I went out with someone I worked with, and we didn't tell a soul at work for about 4 months. It was really fun just getting to know each other without anyone interfering (with good intentions or not) and it did amuse me when a rumour went around that she had gone home with some guy on a night out, when I knew she couldn't have as she was with me. :D
18:29 this joke make me makes me laugh out loud every time!😂
They're not telling any of the others because this is a sitcom and what fun would it be if everyone found out right away?? 😄
Best time of the week! Friends reaction
i love to notice everytime how after chandler and monica got together they always sit close to each other
so adorable ❤❤❤
"You lift right out!" One of the best lines in the entire series.
Sometimes not telling everyone is just fun. When my husband and I started dating in college we actually didn’t tell anyone for almost 8 months. No one knew except my lifelong best friend/roommate and his best friend (who were also dating and who introduced us, which is the only reason they knew). We’ve now been together 27years. And we loved not including anyone, hearing their opinions etc. there wasn’t even really a reason, we just liked it that way.
I love that you get so happy and giddy about the Monica Chandler thing...lol
Given the huge drama produced by Ross and Rachel I don't think I'd want to tell my friends either in Mondler's shoes. Better they have some private time to figure things out before the pressure of the whole group knowing. (Plus the secrecy is hysterical)
I'm not 100% sure if this is true or not, but apparently Chandler and Monica dating was only supposed to be in London, but the original audience of the show liked their relationship so much that they added it into the show at least that's what I heard I don't know if it's true but if it is that's pretty cool that if it wasn't for the original audience we wouldn't have Chandler and Monica who in my opinion are not just the best relationship in friends but one of the best relationships depicted on television. It happens so often that like with Rachel and Ross, creators of TV shows never know what to do with their characters once they actually enter into a relationship and it's really hard to depict a happy healthy relationship on screen where they might fight but still stay together Breaking up as more drama, there are so many depictions on television where there to any problem is just a break up the characters and get them back together and with friends they were the first show that I can think of that did the break up and get back together but properly a happy healthy relationship that was long lasting where the characters never broke up. I also think that Monica and Chandler are a great reverse to Rachel and Ross, Rachel and Ross break up and get back together so many times throughout the show that it just becomes less and less interesting and you're no longer really rooting for them to get back together because they break up too many times that it just doesn't feel worth it and it feels like too much damage has been done whereas with Chandler and Monica they get together and they never break up they stay together throughout the entirety of the show and that is the best picture, with the next being Lillian Marshall and I met your mother who did one time, making Chandler and Monica the better relationship because not only do they depict a healthy happy relationship but they show ways of actually writing in storylines for their relationship without having to have characters break up or fight all the time which I really like, as like I said this isn't often depicted in TV or movies, because a lot of time those storylines are boring but friends makes it interesting and it's always great to see happy proper relationships depicted as opposed to ones that are unhealthy like with Rachel and Ross and it's even funnier that both relationships are depicted in friends. Of course this is just my opinion and you may have a different one but I always found it really interesting thatunlike other TV shows that will always break up characters for plot friends well doing this trope also are able to show a relationship and actually come up with ideas for external conflict rather than internal conflict between the two characters allowing Chandler and Monica to still be together.
I love when all them Discover Monica and Chandler 😍😁
i’m a huge friends fan and I said this in one of my friends fan groups that after he said, rachel‘s name at the altar, she literally shouldn’t have continued on with it because I personally would feel embarrassed. I probably wouldn’t hate him right away, but I would at least talk to him and we can talk through things before we thought about going through a marriage again
Whirl, twirl, squirrel 😂 hope that helps
lol - perfectly explained our accent.
I'm so excited. This story line is one of my favorites, the Monica and Chandler part. So excited to see your reaction.
Fun fact: the actress who plays Emilly was pregnant around that time and she couldn't be in the show anymore and the writers didn't know how to get her outta the show, and David (Ross) in one scene the own actor accidentally said rachel instead of emilly it "wasnt" scripted, I mean it was in the weeding scene but David accidentally called emilly "Rachel" and the writters had the brilliant idea of Ross saying the wrong name at the altar, funny how if David Schwimmer hadn't call Emily Rachel we actually could never had the iconic moment in the altar, maybe they would get rid of her with her cheating on him or getting pregnant and he not being the father or something idk
But Imo the worst mistake was bringing her back to the show, they should've just get rid of her and that's it, instead they brought her back and made her so possessive and made Ross such loser doing everything she commended him to do like a puppy doggy... I didnt like that tho, btw Ross is in a rampage this season
Ikr it's insane
I love this show. Every episode is so good!
Aww now I’m all caught up! I just binged your entire Friends reactions over the past few days... now I have to wait- it just keeps getting better 😊 can’t wait to see more!
12:04 Joey Iconic Look on his face!!
If I had a penny for everytime Ross got a divorce....
The "Yeti" is George Newbern, who voices Superman on the Justice League series.
Oh wow, I never realized that was him in this episode! I had a chance to meet George Newbern at a ComicCon last year and got his autograph on a Superman poster. He was such a sweet person to talk to.
So happy rn, rough day, friends reactions are the best. Appreciate you!
When I was a kid these high speed chases where the best.
Episode 5 is one of my favorites. I love so much how Phoebe is ready to start her own group with Rachel and Joey.. her and Joey's lines and actions about it are soooo funny. 😂
Not to mention Joey finding out..😂😂😂
I remember watching this with some friends when it first aired. When Joey put it together we lost our minds it was so funny. And Joey is often the last one to catch on so having him be the first was a great approach by the writers. Plus, they set it up perfectly with the payoff on the seemingly insignificant mentions of Donald Trump and the eyelash curler. Great writing.
I was just about to turn in, and you uploaded it! :D
Emily was being unreasonable, but it's understandable. But Ross was totally right when he said she either has to trust him or end the marriage, because it isn't healthy to be in a relationship like that. It's ironic coming from him, considering his history with being distrustful, but that doesn't make him less right.
27:12 I pronounce it the same as you (South African). I have friends in the US who thought it was hilarious how we pronounced the word "squirrel" 😂
As a Brit, thank you for pointing out the American way of saying squirrel - (phonetically: skwrl). 😛
I think Emily's request that Ross stop seeing Rachel is one most people would make (right or wrong, that's realistic and I can understand why). Emily's anxieties increased in Episode 6 to a level of paranoia though, which can't have been helped by the fact that they're in a different country to Ross, and that's the point where I think one of them needed to realise the relationship was over.
I believe most fans outright hate Emily, which I don't think is fair. Emily clearly loved Ross and was trying to find a way to trust them. It's easy for us to say they just need to break up, but when both parties are invested in the relationship, that isn't a call people would easily make. Just look at the number of people who stay with partners after cheating. Is it logical? No, but decisions of love rarely are.
That is true. Been there
I feel so sad for Emily's character ... She literally was 100% the victim of the situation and then the writers turned her into a psycho just to make Ross and rachel look better...
Something that really bothered me when it came to Ross and Emily is after he said Rachel's name instead of Emily's name at the altar why did they continue to get married, I realise that that is the drummer of the show but it would've made way more sense for Ross to then say I'm sorry Emily I still have feelings for Rachel then he wouldn't have to worry about getting a second divorce because they wouldn't have gotten married in the first place or even getting a mould would be better than getting a divorce I don't know why Ross is so worried about getting a divorce when I don't even think he slipped with Emily so couldn't they just annul their relationship, also Again it would've made way more sense for them to not go through with the relationship in the first place after he said the wrong name because then he wouldn't have to worry about ending his friendship was Rachel he wouldn't have to worry about being divorced for the second time and it may not make interesting storytelling I feel like it would just better end the relationship and end the storyline if they just left it there at the altar at the end of season four, but again this is just my opinion you may have different ones, I just feel that it was kind of ridiculous, especially when Ross shouldn't worry too much about his first marriage given that while they did have a child together and were able to consummate their marriage, she ended up being a lesbian in the end so he can't really blame himself for that surely, either way I find the whole thing with Emily Rachel and Ross to be so ridiculous by season five that it just bugs me it's still going on when the easiest solution would've been for him to just say you know what let's not get married now but he just had to push through and it ended up ruining things for him in the end, this is one of the reasons why I think a lot of people don't really like Ross, not only does not think things through but he is so obsessed with his image etc that it causes so many problems for him later down the road.
21:32 even Ross doesn't know what it takes to make a marriage work
Monica and Chandler are so cute (I love how Ross found out😂😂)
I stand with Emily. She was totally right
Yess! Been loving your friends reactions Oscar 💙
"I saw Donald Trump waiting for an elevator."
Gen X: "That entrapeneur guy?"
Millennials: "The guy who loves "firing" people?"
Millennials / Gen Z: "The President?"
For me, the guy in Home Alone 2?😂
I remember watching the original broadcast run of the whole thing in the '90s here in The States, on Thursday evenings every September through May. Yes, I'm ancient, LOL. Still enjoy these characters today; and I learned that it's best to watch this sitcom on DVD, because those discs have loads of little jokes and exchanges that are not available on streaming or blu-ray versions.
My only peeve with Friends, and it's a big one, is that the writers often engaged in transparently manipulative story-lines designed simply to make viewers wince or roll our eyes about the whole ridiculous Ross/Rachel thing. Really, how many times can you make Rachel and Ross star-crossed? It's too much. And then having Emily insist on those stupid conditions--- that nearly turrned me off completely to the show. But I dismissed the inane writing and enjoyed the fun that was there outside of the endless romantic soap opera the show had become. 😆Seriously, overall it is a very funny series, one of the decade's best, and consistently good across its ten seasons.
To answer your question, in the USA we say "sqwerl" almost as one syllable lol.
Say what you want about DonaId Trump but we'd never get this hilarious scene of Joey finding out, if Trump hadn't waited for that elevator
Yay new episodes.
No but seriously Monica and chandler really never really tried to hide their relationship ever
Been waiting for this (emily being gone) back to our usual broadcasting
when i tell you i dropped EVERYTHING when i saw the title
I had a really crappy bad go of it this week, culminating yesterday to dragging ass home defeated and downtrodden. Then fishing through the feed I found my ray of light in your thumbnail of Joey Tribianie with the all caps caption: HE KNOWS! Instantly, all was right with the universe. Nothing turns things around, flips the script, rights the ship and produces a reversal of ones fortunes than the absolute dopamine hits that is season 5 and protracted in the best way season long one by one super secret friend group gaining knowledge of the under wraps covert Chandler Monica relationship that builds to the greatest crescendo of episodes in sitcom history.
No spoilers: here's the deal just so you know the absolute place you are in at this series juncture. The moment the first episode returns from commercial break and Joey interrogates Chandler about the hotel calling about a left behind lipstick, the show Friends that has been arguably one of the most consistently produced absorbing shows ever put to television, at that exact moment, goes full nos, through the stratosphere, transcending the space time continuem and becoming from that point on till the end of its run season 10 like a non stop greatest hits compilation highlight reel of best series moments .... but it's every show and literally every line hits and are from this point on all quotable. It's crazy but true. The show enters a crazy insane level of quality very rare. But season 5 is majorly considered the greatest season because of this incredibly long sustained joke keeping the group in the dark that one by one all find out till it all hits the fan so satisfying and perfect in its execution, it would serve as a blueprint for outlines of future seasons not just for this show, but sitcoms across the board. Friends was ground breaking in that they broke a decades long held industry myth a sitcom couldn't tell a season long story arc as it would hurt syndication and order of the episodes airing. Turns out, didn't hurt reruns in the least and actually led to longer watching commitments to reruns to rewatch entire season long story arc. Friends broke one glass ceiling of conventional Hollywood wisdom.
I just love your smile!!
Joey's reaction makes this one of my fav episodes 😂
Me and my sons father kept our relationship secret for 3 months wen we first hooked up. We were from also the same friend group and some friends were funny about it. So I understand the secrecy lol
Loved your reaction
Happy to see this video, hoping it'll help cheer me up
24:24 but what does Emily think would happen like honestly the whole group is there she basically asking Rachel to move out of Monica's place asking the whole friend group to stop seeing rachel or ross to stop seeing the whole group entirely cus they all usually hang together its stupid.
Plus many memories in Ross's place like with his kid ben .
I'm an American and I feel like we say squirrel the same way 😂
Maybe we have less of an "ee" sound in the way we say it than you do I guess
4:20 why does he keep his shoes on the bed ?! you would think Mon would have bed trained him better
Man, I can't wait for the sandwich 😂
21:40 exactly 😂, ross is no grown up
its lapoo right now but itll get better. words to live by
CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO WATCH S5 Ep14 - so so good, my fav episode! Thanks for still watching and sharing it🎉
17:51 understandable behaviour like rachel won't waste time to find out.
She could survive a horror movie
Thank you, Oscar! ☕ Dana De Vally Piazza and Gary Halvorson directed these two episodes.
hey,Oscar! I hope you're having a good week 🌸
This would probably hurt harder for Rachel, because she knows last time the group was in a position to try to choose between her and Ross they all chose Ross
So he’s basically gonna kick her out of her friend group again
Just like when they broke up and everybody had to feel so bad for Ross and make sure Ross was OK even though he’s the one that fucked up
I know it isn’t him, but the actor of Danny look like Drew Seeley!
I totally get it for the comedic element, but every time I watch Ross say the wrong name and all the aftermath I think the same thing. When he said the wrong name, they should have stepped aside and talked about it before they went thru with the wedding. The pastor gave them the option, but Emily chose to save face. Arguably she was thrown and didn’t know how to react in the moment, but they never really talk it out. And Joey was right. They got married too soon. I think Ross and Emily have major trust issues, which leads to extreme behavior due to jealousy. Tbh, some of the paranoid stuff Ross has done when he didn’t trust Rachel when they were dating is on par with Emily’s extreme reaction. They’re pretty similar. But again, it’s a sitcom! Ridiculous situations are funny, which is the whole point 😁
12:03 best moment in friends history!!!!
Emily (Helen Baxendale) is pregnant during the filming of the episode and part of her being written out of the series.
To be honest the whole "I'll come to new York of you never see Rachel again" would never have worked even if ross and Rachel weren't friends she is still his sister's best friend and roommate.
Joey reaction is the best
Honestly I really liked Danny and the way he and Rachel met was hilarious.
The $20 joke between Joey and Chandler was the last thing Matt mentioned on his Instagram when Matthew died, saying I guess you are keeping the 20 bucks you owe me. 💔
