@@LadyDoomsinger it's about paying attention. Some things are skills which can be learned in time. Some things are built in. For instance sex needs strength if a woman likes being picked up.

The scene where Phoebe is holding the triplets is such an emotional scene. Lisa Kudrow had given birth to her own baby just a few months earlier so I feel she was channeling her own emotions into that scene.
i saw someone say once that if we’re going by Joey’s definition of a selfless good deed that we’ve definitely seen at least one in the show, when Ross walks Carol down the aisle. he didn’t necessarily feel good about it but it was a great thing that he did for her
That’s a great example. He didn’t gain anything from it, but it showed that he has a big heart and was able to put his feelings aside to do something nice for someone else.
hate to break it to you but joeys logic broke down the phoebes pregnancy which was way more selfless than that. Giving away the babies was incredibly selfless by anyone’s standards she wanted to keep one. she directly says those words. Joeys point is not that phoebe was selfish but that everyone that does a good deed gets something out of it wether it’s avoiding an emotion like guilt or regret, or if it’s gaining an emotion like happiness and pride because you feel you did the right thing. You feel good because your brain rewards you for it like rewarding a pet for good behaviour. It could definitely be argued that part of ross even just a small part walked carol down the aile because he felt sorry for her and knew if he didn’t he would later feel guilty. Ross didn’t jump at the chance he thought about it because he didn’t want to but he was able to fight against it because he loves carol and would feel guilty if he didn’t help her. Joeys logic is airtight because of the way the human brain works. It’s way too literal of a definition so obviously we know he’s not actually right. Just because you gain something doesn’t mean it’s selfish and imo that’s the point he was trying to make as he was salty that phoebe called him selfish. Context is the important thing and it’s why no sweeping statement is really ever true. (Just to be clear i totally agree that it’s selfless but i find joeys thought process on getting phoebe very interesting and is true to extent. It’s just a gotcha question you can’t exactly win by answering which is why it’s hard to argue against it logically or with examples. I think it might even come from the fact that catholics largely believe Jesus is meant to be the best of us and even he was human and had some selfish moments. Though in that teaching imo the best take away is that no one is perfect it’s not possible to be perfect and as long as you’re doing your best helping others that is selfless enough. p.s i’m atheist not catholic i just think truly thats part of were the logic is stemming from that humans can’t be perfect even with the purest of intentions)
“I think this group is a family.” I can’t remember where I heard this, but I’m pretty sure the creators said somewhere that when they were thinking of making the show they wanted to write about a group of friends in their 20s, before they have families, because it is the time in your life when your friends are your family.
I love how ross just handles chandler a lamp when he manages to talk to emily. Its even better cause it was a blooper that they just kept going. Some of the best scenes of this show are like that
I think they were official and it‘s just Chandler‘s past relationships playing a part and his mind kind of thinking that this must be it then. He‘s been cheated on a couple times and he also has a massive inferiority complex, so obviously (in his head) someone else asking Monica out must mean that she would leave him for someone ‚better‘
The bit where Ross hands Chandler the lamp was improvised on the spot by David Schwimmer. Matthew Perry had no idea he was gonna do that (nor did anybody), and that's why his reaction is totally genuine.
The scene with Phoebe saying goodbye to the triplets is so emotional. I love Friends because it's a show that can make you both laugh out loud and cry like a baby❤ Also I love the fact that you're so invested in Chandler and Monica, because they're my favourite relationship in the show as well. It breaks my heart whenever Chandler lets on how insecure he is about relationships(expecting Monica to go out with that male nurse) due to the issues he had in the past, and Monica somehow always gets him back on the right track, if you know what I mean. Yeah I love their moments together, just like you said they're so cute!
My sister had my daughter for me! It is the most humbling experience and my sister is a walking angel! Every time I watch this episode it bubbles up those emotions.
18:00 Ros handing Chandler the lamp was an unscripted thing, David (Ros) actually just grabbed it and gave it away like that, you can see Matthew (Chandler) is unsure and surprised too!
The selfish/selfless debate is interesting, I appreciate how they made Joey of all characters start it. I also liked his comments about Santa not being real and the bee dying. That and upcoming episodes really give Joey some of his street smart personality back from season 1. That's another reason to love season 5.
And the fact that Joey was the one that pointed that the bee would die after stinging Phoebe. This episode is such a breath of fresh air in that everyone was charming and hilarious *without* being irritating and insufferable (for once!)!
This is the show's 100th episode and Lisa Kudrow's favourite. Fun fact: Ross giving the lamp to Chandler while on the phone with Emily wasn't scripted. David Schwimmer unintentionally handed it to Matthew Perry who's reaction fitted perfectly with the scene. The Fonzie character Phoebe's doctor keeps mentioning is one of the main characters from the show Happy Days. Also, the Mork character Rachel mentions is the character Robin Williams played on Mork and Mindy. I actually really liked Emily before the whole wedding drama. She was a breath of fresh air and despite not knowing each other for long, her and Ross had great chemistry and worked well together. I feel like they were trying too hard to make us not like her and root for Ross and Rachel because Emily's actress, Helen Baxendale, was pregnant and couldn't be on the show anymore. And it worked cuz I used to hate Emily and thought she was being so unreasonable. But now as I've grown older I empathise with her and understand where she was coming from. She had every right to be upset, angry and hurt after being humiliated like that and it's understandable she became insecure around Rachel. That being said, I think demanding Ross stop seeing Rachel was not only extreme but very unrealistic. If Rachel had just been friends with Ross it technically could have worked, but she was also best friends (and roommate) with his sister and his other closest friends. So in order for that to work, they ALL would've had to stop seeing Rachel or Ross would've had to stop seeing ALL of them, including HIS OWN SISTER. Realistically, that would never have worked. Plus, the issue wasn't Rachel; it was Emily not trusting Ross anymore. How were they gonna make the marriage work if she couldn't trust him? Even if Phoebe's donation hadn't gotten Joey on TV she was stilll doing it to prove a point. I don't know if there is such a thing as a selfless good deed either, but from the show the closest anyone has come (in my opinion) is when Ross not only encouraged Carol to fix things with Susan before the wedding but also walked her down the aisle. Chandler saying that Monica is the one who made him the best sex she's ever had is a nice callback to when she taught him about a woman's 7 erogenous zones to help him in his relationship with Kathy. Lastly, I've had gallstones which was horribly painful and I had to have surgery to have my gallbladder removed. I've heard kidney stones are worse though.
I think you mean empathize with Emily? Emphasize is putting emphasis on something, like of the "utmost importance" (or similar). And sorry for being that person lol.
I just want to comment on that part where you talk about loving your new baby once it’s born. The love you feel only grows as time goes by. For me, I love my kids so much that they feel like a actual part of me. I don’t know why but that amount of love is scary for me because it’s a reminder of how much pain I would feel if I ever lost them. It’s indescribable.
Rachel advising Ross to give Emily anything she wants is the selfless good deed that Phoebe is searching for. Because Rachel loves him, as she said to him two episodes ago.
My doctor was actually on vacation the day I was scheduled to delivery my baby but, she left me in the hands of a very qualified and compassionate colleague of hers (who thankfully wasn't obsessed with Fonzie). The moment I saw my son's foot (he was delivered through C-section, and the doc had him turned away from me at first) my face looked exactly like Alice's when she heard she was a mom. There's nothing like it in the world, my entire perception of what love was changed in a literal matter of minutes.
I do agree with you. Emily is not wrong in asking Ross to not see Rachel anymore after what happened. I think that she has not broken up with Ross yet because they are trying to do everything they can to save the marriage. Just think about it, think how sad it can be to get married and then divorce just a few weeks later. Emily and Ross are not ready to accept the reality.
I mean yeah I agree...she was FINE with Rachel until Ross showed that he actually can't be "just friends" with her. What she's asking him for is completely justified. If he's not prepared to do that, fine. But if he wants to be with her that's what she needs to feel secure and that's totally valid. Like, many partners wouldn't want you hanging out with your ex at all but Emily was cool with it until Ross did what he did. And I think that's why I'm okay with her making that ask. It would be different if she just showed up in his life and told him to cut off Rachel just because.
@@Lina_unchained Agreed. And although it's a tall ask for Ross not to hang out with Rachel, and therefore might not see his sister and other best friends often... Ross is asking Emily to move from London to New York. Emily will have to leave all her family and friends, move to a place where she has no system of support, and have this issue of Ross probably having lingering feelings for his ex. And although Emily is unaware, Rachel admitted to still having feelings for Ross. That's just a can of worms.
I don’t think I could ever stay with someone who calls out his ex‘s name at the altar 🙈 I understand why she’s trying to save the marriage but when she allowed them to continue the ceremony I was very confused because I could’ve never done that
I think Emily's feelings are completely valid and understandable, but her ultimatum is honestly despicable. The implications (of which she is aware) of having someone from a tight knit group basically ostracized to try and fix her own marriage instead of drawing the line, is what makes it such an unreasonable ask. I'm not suggesting a way to fix it either, both Ross and Emily should've just called it long before it got to this.
Funfact: Frank Jr's wife...the reason she wasn't in the show as much is partially because during Friends she had gotten That 70s show. Also, Monica and Chandler did confirm their relationship, during thay conversation on the gurny in the hospital. ❤️🎬
'Fonzie' is an iconic character from the sitcom, Happy Days. He's a cool womanizer dude with a leather jacket. I remember watching it on a TV channel that runs old sitcoms when I was younger 👍
I love in a group interview after the series had wrapped, they asked the cast the two most asked questions from the fanbase. 1) was each one, individually, whether Ross and Rachel were on a break and 2) it was put to Schwimmer and Aniston, but the rest of the cast piped in, and were asked about the Emily ultimatum to Ross in this season that if she chose commiting herself to him, he would have to 86 Rachel from his life and what they would've done. Their answers were fascinating and unexpected in a couple of different ways. One, both questions they all were in agreement and unanimous, no doubts, final answer. Which showed just how in synch they were with each other in real life and all on the same page. But also, two, how mature and adult they were in their thinking with relationships in actual reality and not dramatic effect for maximum comedic possibilities on a show. But they all agreed, particularly Jennifer Aniston, that Ross and Rachel were definitely on a break. When pressed on this one, Aniston pushed right back sayng that she often doesn't agree with and align with Rachel's way of thinking or decision making. But understood it and that that type of mentality of unaccountably on her part is self sabotaging and immature for a woman her age. This tied in nicely to the second question where, again, unanimously they all agreed regarding the Ross-Emily situation the same thing. NO SPOILERS. I'll talk around it. But, everybody in the cast instantly agreed if he truly loves Emily, it's not even a choice and if he pretends that it is, he either doesn't really love her, or loves both women, consciously or subconsciously, or just wants it all despite it's a crappy selfish thing to do to your so called newly wedded wife. It's already not cool to be hanging around an ex if you're supposed to be in a committed relationship. They should be able to provide whatever it is emotionally that you are getting from a previous lover hanging out. It sends a bad message. Intuitively we all know this on a deeper unspoken level. It's also a younger person idealistic way of thinking. But not a realistic way. Its not how people and relationships with actual feelings and invested messy complex emotions operate in the real world. Youth want to go against the grain of human nature and rise above basic instincts and how everybody is wired more or less at a base level. Aniston said that all that is true, bit really it all comes down to maturity and growing the F up. The general rule is if you still need to hang out with someone you were intimate with and saw you naked, and don't see the problem with that, then the problem isn't with your partner whose calling you out, but with you. You're the problem. You're still thinking with immaturity. And if the ex comes with a group of friends and they're a all or nothing package, call it an era and move on. It's hard to tell a person in their 20's this because they're still in the eye of the storm of youth and still got some living to do before wisdom sets in. Eventually you move on. If you sleep with someone, that's why you have to seriously weigh the consequences because it really is going past the point of no return. If it doesn't work out, it jeopardizes the friendship absolutely. Because things do change. And honestly, how often really is your ex in your inner circle friends group? That's practically a tv troupe and Hollywood invention to create tension and story telling possibilities. It also keeps your characters in a holding pattern and immature far longer than they should be at their actual age because tv characters aren't really allowed to change much or they will lose their audience and what worked successfully before. Unfortunately, people watch these shows, identify with them and then confuse it for real life and how interpersonal relationships should work too when television is just fantasy league escapist entertainment taking extreme poetic license with reality. I thought it was very telling though the cast were all united in these issues and showed that by middle age, they could look back and see it all so clearly it comes down to maturity.
yes, many people do indeed describe the love towards kids as completely new,bigger capacity to love, that they never knew they had, and it sounds wonderful - but it doesn't automatically happen to every person. There's never a guarantee for every single human that they'll feel that way. Many people struggle with not feeling much after having a baby, and there are entire threads called "i regret having kids", etc. It's important to truly know that having kids is really something that will fullfill you, nurture and take care of someone for years is really your dream, before you have them....
One of my favorite random scenes in Friends is Chandler screaming when he sees the Duck and the Chick (Rooster) watching the cooking channel LMAO His desperation, so funny
My grandmother’s had kidney stones several times, a couple of which she had to undergo surgery to remove them. She also gave birth to three kids before drugs and pain relief existed to relieve that. She said hands down the pain of kidney stones is worse than giving birth.
"Na-noo, Na-noo." 👽Although I cannot stand the doctor's constant referencing of Happy Days, I loved the show and the cameo appearances of Mork.😊Mork was actually Robin Williams's first television appearance. He played an alien, Mork from Ork, that caused problems in the Cunningham house with The Fonz (aka Arthur Fonzarelli). Mork was later revised in the 1980s sitcom "Mork and Mindy" which was set in Boulder Colorado. Robin went on to do so much more and we all have Happy Days to thank for it!
The producers said that they intentionally went a very different way with Chandler & Monica then with Ross & Racheal. C & M had an up close view of the huge melodrama fiasco with R & R. They wouldn't want a repeat of that. It's why they were keeping it a secret from their friends, and why they didn't "make it official" even to each other in the beginning. They were obviously smitten with each other, but trying take it slow, on an emotional level (in spite of the face that they'd already been good friends for 10 years and could not keep their hands off each other).
First of all - I love Monica and Chandler, they are so cute and relatable 🥰 fun to watch them make relationship chicken, without them just giving up. (Everybody take notes 😉 ) Secondly - In relation to Ross and Emily, I think it is unfair that she is asking him to move away from his son. If he didn't have Ben, it would be more reasonable to drop the relationship with his ex, see his sister for the holidays and find new friends - to fix the relationship. After all she would otherwise have to leave everyone behind to do the same for him. But because he has a son, it is completely unreasonable to ask him to move (in my opinion). Expect him to give up a friend where he lives... that doesn't seem unreasonable unless you know the group - then it seems more like a way to get him to take responsibility for a divorce rather than just saying now is enough - after what happened at the wedding. But she was also rather unreasonable for not wanting to speak to him sooner, even thought what he did was wrong (in my opinion). 🙃 Thanks for the videos - love them 🥰
I've had a baby and 5 kidney stones. Three of my five stones were FAR WORSE than the baby. The last stone, I was legit laying on the floor at work (I was an ambulance dispatcher) in the dark, praying I would pass out from the pain. Until they called one of our ambulances, the only critical care team we had, to take me to the hospital two towns over that I worked a PT job in the emergency room because I only trusted them.
I know you’re likely too young understand the Fonzie reference, but I think it’s cute that you did a pretty fair impression of Fonzie when you said “Hey!” at 2:53. 👍👍
No kids of my own, but yeah, its true. I love, worry about, and support my sibling's kids just as if they were my own, and it's a love I never knew was possible ❤❤
25:10 Exactly, Oscar! Why on earth would anyone feel the need to apologise for being happy that they'd done the right thing? To me, I would only worry if I was happy because I knew I'd done a terrible thing. (It always exasperates me when writers make characters mouth their own misanthropic neuroses.)
I think that Emily’s emotional issues are completely understandable. She was humiliated by Ross in front of her family and the man she wanted to marry. If my fiancé (if I had one) said another woman’s name, I would’ve gone off. I do think it was weird that she went through with the actual wedding, the vows, everything, and then just disappeared. That’s something I wouldn’t have done, at least not going through with the rest of the ceremony. That being said, Emily’s main issue with Ross is that she couldn’t trust him anymore, especially not around her. I’ve never been married or engaged but, I was almost. Long story in itself but the bottom line? I said no because I couldn’t trust him anymore. When it came to my relationship with him, there was only one woman that I felt threatened by, only one, and he knew this. He got upset, and he went and slept with her. I’ll give him props, he did at least tell me, and he said he regretted it, but no matter how much he claimed to love me, I couldn’t trust him anymore. I wanted to, more than anything, but I literally couldn’t. Emily’s request of him not seeing Rachel was both extreme and unrealistic. Some comments have already explained why, but I’ll add that Rachel was and always will be his first love. You can’t forget about them, even when you do finally move on (in most cases; there are some where you end up with your first love) and because she’s one of his friends, and she has close ties with his best friends and family members, he would never actually be rid of her without getting rid of the rest of his family and friends. So in regards to her ultimatum, I don’t agree. With her feelings though, I do agree
I feel like you're not heard enough. Not about this comment only. I took a look at your blog as well. Neither your religious absolute nor a mere philosophical abstract absolute does justice to our humanity regarding a situation like Emily's. We have the right to be a betting and separating person for love. Most of the time randomness of love is nurtured in the following relationship, unlike the friendship-based ones like Ross and Rachel. That's why some justifiable criticize How I Met Your Mother following the steps of Friends in this regard. Ted and Robin and Ross and Rachel are forced romanticism stories. The kind of romanticism that got corrupted away from its philosophical and literary counterparts. In Emily's case, she liberates this romanticism from the human aspect of Ross. Despite his faults, she gives into the forgiving nature of their shared love. This imperfect, asymmetrical structure finds life by the bargain, which Ross intuitively yields. I'm not a religious person, I have not even grown up in a Christian society, but my favourite compass is a German Romanticist who conveys his philosophy by referring to the Will of Love/Love of God; who only in the end rejects the Absolutes and Ideals, not because he thinks that he was in the wrong; but only because he realizes that this is how reality works. God himself is divided into light and dark. We are the freedom generated by this contradictory nature of life. We are the struggle and God itself. Happy racing Taylor.
It may not be totally unreasonable, but it is impossible what Emily is asking. Rachel is not just a random ex girlfriend than Ross dated for a while. she is also Monica's best friend and roommate. And the six of them do basically everything together. What does Emily think Rachel would do everytime Ross comes over to see his sister or the gang wants to hang out at the apartment.... Rachel has to leave her own home? She is basically asking all in the friendgroup to accomodate and make sacrifices just so that Ross never sees Rachel again. They could not hang out at Monica's place as a group ever again, because Rachel is there and you can't ask her to leave her own home. And her demands just get worse and more unreasonable..... Emily has every right to be mad at Ross and feel akward around Rachel, but like said Rachel is not just some random ex. It's like when Rachel and Ross broke up, they had to get over the anger or otherwise that was it for them to ever hang out again as a group of six.
None of this would be a problem if Ross and Rachel were people that could be trusted. Emily is doing the thing many cheated on people do initially: they are looking for a solution that will 'contain' the cheater into a space where he'll be faithful, because they don't want to accept that cheaters cannot be controlled and that the relationship isn't salvagable because of that. It's a really bad way to try and regain some dignity, control and power, because it's just so incredibly humiliating to accept that the only real power she has here is the power to leave.
They made it goofy but Joey is right except it's not about how you feel afterwards but why you do it deep down. Pheobe is only doing things to win one over Joey which is selfish no matter what she did
PBS is the public TV station in the US. It has a lot of documentaries and children’s programming. It gets a lot of its funding from the viewers donating, and so multiple times a year they will do these pledge drives where they have a whole day of (usually) terrible programming and cheesy hosts, and people call in and offer to donate money. It’s basically like a six hour long commercial lol Also, I never understood the argument that that if you enjoy doing a good deed, it makes it selfish. I think you need to look at your motivation and make sure you weren’t doing it for personal glory or your own ego, but I think you can help others without it being selfish. I think feeling good about it helps us overcome our own selfishness and start thinking of others more naturally.
@@Indego84 I guess it just depends on the situation. But my gallbladder was absolutely destroyed and I was lucky I got to surgery at that time, otherwise I would have had to wait for a few weeks with excruciating pain!
I can say from EXCRUCIATING experience, kidney stones are horrible. No one should ever have to go through that, it’s absolutely miserable. The passing of the stone isn’t the worst part - or at least wasn’t for me, but the pain when it was moving through the body was agonizing. At the worst point, I could barely stand, it felt like someone was holding a power drill right into the base of my spine and sides at the same time.
I have three boys and with every one, I grew another heart so I say that I have four hearts: one for each boy and one for everything and everyone else A parents love is the hardest to explain
I feel like people really hate emily for asking Ross that, but I totally understand where she’s coming from, I would be really insecure too if I was her ❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷
I found out the day before going to give birth that due to my doctor having a falling out with some others at his practice that he could no longer work at my hospital (it was a non compete issue). I ended up telling the other doctor off on the phone basically turning into the worst version of myself. An hour later I got a phone call back from my doctor saying they made an exception for me. So I can tell you the hormones might make us crazy but crazy is also effective at times.
Emily is completely in the right for wanting Ross to cut off Rachel. Ross and Rachel love each other too much and it will never work with Emily if such an ex is still in the picture. I agree that it would be better to just end the relationship. But they are MARRIED. They gotta at least try to work it out. And if they're gonna try, the best way to do it is by building Emily's security back by being away from Rachel. I mean, after all that has happened, Emily is still willing to leave London - her hometown, her family and friends and MOVE for Ross. The least he could do after making such terrible mistakes is not talk to the ex that is still in love with him.
Such wholesome reactions ❤!love them! Could I please suggest watching 'Everybody loves Raymond ' and 'Frasier'? Or maybe movies like father of the bride?
I think Episode 3 speaks to the inevitable problem that arises when a couple decides not to label themselves officially. When there is no line set, it’s easy for things to go further than they did here, and people get jealous. Regarding why Emily is still with Ross, the short answer is that she loves him, but I imagine it’s not dissimilar to how people who’ve been cheated on behave when their partner is around people of the gender that partner is interested in. We can talk about the logical thing to do, but humans aren’t logical in love. 😅
I love the more realistic way they handled Phoebe giving birth and starting to want to keep one of the babies. It makes complete sense that she knew it would be inappropriate to ask, but couldn’t help her feelings of losing all three babies. The only way they could have made it better, in my opinion, is if they prolonged the feelings for more than just the episode. By that, I don’t mean that Phoebe should regret it long-term, just that her mixed feelings lasted a little longer. “I’m really happy I did that, but I’m also sad that I couldn’t raise them” and how she learnt to cope with that over another episode or two. .. As for Emily, it’s an unfair ask that also makes complete sense because the feelings are still there for Ross and Rachel, so it isn’t like they’re just friends/exes. It’s justified, but the right thing to do would have been to postpone the wedding when the wrong name was said and not fumble through it with anger and resentment. They should have discussed what to do before making it more complicated with a marriage commitment that makes them both feel even more tied to a relationship that is already so rocky. Then there would have been more time to figure out what they both needed and whether a compromise could be found that they were both happy with. If not, the relationship ends, they go their separate ways and no divorce/moving countries needed. Ross just keeps fluffing up and Emily, no doubt due to shock and embarrassment, made the wrong decision to go ahead anyway.
When I first watched as kid, I really hated Emily. After a couple of years, I now realize that she was completely on the right by asking Ross to not see Rachel. Imagine that the man you love and married said someone’s name at the altar and then proceeded to go the honeymoon with that person. I would never go back with Ross but since she did, she is right to demand certain things from him. Great reaction, love your videos
In answer to your question about “finding the right doctor,” in the US, you can absolutely fire any of your medical staff and ask them not to be in your room anymore. I fired one of my nurses during labor. I would ask for options, and she would only give me the worst case scenario. One time she literally said “your baby could suffocate in three minutes.” While that may be accurate, it wasn’t helpful cuz I wasn’t at that stage yet. I found it very annoying that she basically was trying to scare me into making a decision. Even my doctor was annoyed at her. Her boss happened to be the next nurse that came in, so we just kindly asked that she not be in our room anymore. We didn’t even have to give a reason. We just asked that she not come in anymore.
21:28 it is sad but understandable. But it be hard cus ross hangs with the others and his sister and his sister and Rachel are roomies they all hang out together so either ross basically can't hang out with his friends and sister or Rachel can be around her friends . But it should be fine for Rachel and ross to be in the same room if the rest of the gang is there right?
there's a theory that phoebe was already pregnant before frank and alice asked, and so she actually gave away her babies for real, instead of the surrogacy route they were all thinking was happening.
When my mum had me apparently she had a really cute doctor and asked to swap for an ugly doctor because she didn’t want the cute one to see her give birth😂😂
Of course I feel very badly for Emily. It was a big mistake for Ross & Emily to rush into marriage. It's too bad that neither of them stepped on the brakes to take more time to think things through.
If you haven't already watched...I look forward to you checking out Buffy the Vampire Slayer and then Angel...you might recognize a certain couple of doctors from this episode. ❤️🎬😀👍
I’m usually against preventing the partner from a friend but I’m totally getting Emily and can’t blame her at all , she can leave Ross but that choice was her only way to save the relationship
To be fair, Monica showed Chandler exactly what she liked while helping him with Kathy. "SEVEN!"
Exactly, she literally gave him the step-by-step guide
Any woman who doesn't... it's on them if they're not satisfied

When Ross just randomly hands Chandler the lamp when on the phone with Emily 😂
That was unscripted 😂 David just did it so Matt's reaction was genuine 🤣
Best part !!!
That was hilarious and the fact it was unscripted even better lol
What makes it even more funny is that it wasn't scripted that's why Chandler looks so confused 😂
😂yeah I love that. David is great.😂😂
The scene where Phoebe is holding the triplets is such an emotional scene. Lisa Kudrow had given birth to her own baby just a few months earlier so I feel she was channeling her own emotions into that scene.
i saw someone say once that if we’re going by Joey’s definition of a selfless good deed that we’ve definitely seen at least one in the show, when Ross walks Carol down the aisle. he didn’t necessarily feel good about it but it was a great thing that he did for her
🥰🥰 Definitely
That’s a great example. He didn’t gain anything from it, but it showed that he has a big heart and was able to put his feelings aside to do something nice for someone else.
He did it for Carol's sake, it was one of his best moments.
hate to break it to you but joeys logic broke down the phoebes pregnancy which was way more selfless than that. Giving away the babies was incredibly selfless by anyone’s standards she wanted to keep one. she directly says those words.
Joeys point is not that phoebe was selfish but that everyone that does a good deed gets something out of it wether it’s avoiding an emotion like guilt or regret, or if it’s gaining an emotion like happiness and pride because you feel you did the right thing. You feel good because your brain rewards you for it like rewarding a pet for good behaviour. It could definitely be argued that part of ross even just a small part walked carol down the aile because he felt sorry for her and knew if he didn’t he would later feel guilty. Ross didn’t jump at the chance he thought about it because he didn’t want to but he was able to fight against it because he loves carol and would feel guilty if he didn’t help her.
Joeys logic is airtight because of the way the human brain works. It’s way too literal of a definition so obviously we know he’s not actually right. Just because you gain something doesn’t mean it’s selfish and imo that’s the point he was trying to make as he was salty that phoebe called him selfish. Context is the important thing and it’s why no sweeping statement is really ever true.
(Just to be clear i totally agree that it’s selfless but i find joeys thought process on getting phoebe very interesting and is true to extent. It’s just a gotcha question you can’t exactly win by answering which is why it’s hard to argue against it logically or with examples. I think it might even come from the fact that catholics largely believe Jesus is meant to be the best of us and even he was human and had some selfish moments. Though in that teaching imo the best take away is that no one is perfect it’s not possible to be perfect and as long as you’re doing your best helping others that is selfless enough. p.s i’m atheist not catholic i just think truly thats part of were the logic is stemming from that humans can’t be perfect even with the purest of intentions)
@@jinxysaberk That's true.
“I think this group is a family.”
I can’t remember where I heard this, but I’m pretty sure the creators said somewhere that when they were thinking of making the show they wanted to write about a group of friends in their 20s, before they have families, because it is the time in your life when your friends are your family.
I always cry when phoebe cries and is rocking the babies. Surrogates are amazing people. What a beautiful and hard thing to do
I love how ross just handles chandler a lamp when he manages to talk to emily. Its even better cause it was a blooper that they just kept going. Some of the best scenes of this show are like that
Yeah and you can totally tell by Matthew Perry's dumbfounded look (is that the right word? 🤔) on his face lol, that was real 😅
My favourite is Rachel's face when Phoebe tries singing along to the bagpipes 🤣🤣 Poor Jen just couldn't keep it together.
Oscar proved to the world that Friends can be watched in such an emotional way
And it makes me even more irritated when people say the show was just a dumb sitcom.
@ninja_tony
Those people probably have never seen Ross and Rachel breakup scene
Chandler and Monica is the relationship on this show I didn't know I needed to see until I saw them together
I think they were official and it‘s just Chandler‘s past relationships playing a part and his mind kind of thinking that this must be it then. He‘s been cheated on a couple times and he also has a massive inferiority complex, so obviously (in his head) someone else asking Monica out must mean that she would leave him for someone ‚better‘
One of Phoebe's most endearing and serious moments.
That thing with Santa Claus and Phoebe always gets me😂
The bit where Ross hands Chandler the lamp was improvised on the spot by David Schwimmer. Matthew Perry had no idea he was gonna do that (nor did anybody), and that's why his reaction is totally genuine.
The scene with Phoebe saying goodbye to the triplets is so emotional. I love Friends because it's a show that can make you both laugh out loud and cry like a baby❤
Also I love the fact that you're so invested in Chandler and Monica, because they're my favourite relationship in the show as well. It breaks my heart whenever Chandler lets on how insecure he is about relationships(expecting Monica to go out with that male nurse) due to the issues he had in the past, and Monica somehow always gets him back on the right track, if you know what I mean. Yeah I love their moments together, just like you said they're so cute!
My sister had my daughter for me!
It is the most humbling experience and my sister is a walking angel! Every time I watch this episode it bubbles up those emotions.
18:00 Ros handing Chandler the lamp was an unscripted thing, David (Ros) actually just grabbed it and gave it away like that, you can see Matthew (Chandler) is unsure and surprised too!
Best way to end a monday. How I always look forward to these reactions - they're just so cosy 🥹
Ikr! I watch this after work at 10 pm☺️ I really love his reactions!
The selfish/selfless debate is interesting, I appreciate how they made Joey of all characters start it. I also liked his comments about Santa not being real and the bee dying. That and upcoming episodes really give Joey some of his street smart personality back from season 1. That's another reason to love season 5.
And the fact that Joey was the one that pointed that the bee would die after stinging Phoebe. This episode is such a breath of fresh air in that everyone was charming and hilarious *without* being irritating and insufferable (for once!)!
This is the show's 100th episode and Lisa Kudrow's favourite. Fun fact: Ross giving the lamp to Chandler while on the phone with Emily wasn't scripted. David Schwimmer unintentionally handed it to Matthew Perry who's reaction fitted perfectly with the scene. The Fonzie character Phoebe's doctor keeps mentioning is one of the main characters from the show Happy Days. Also, the Mork character Rachel mentions is the character Robin Williams played on Mork and Mindy.
I actually really liked Emily before the whole wedding drama. She was a breath of fresh air and despite not knowing each other for long, her and Ross had great chemistry and worked well together. I feel like they were trying too hard to make us not like her and root for Ross and Rachel because Emily's actress, Helen Baxendale, was pregnant and couldn't be on the show anymore. And it worked cuz I used to hate Emily and thought she was being so unreasonable. But now as I've grown older I empathise with her and understand where she was coming from. She had every right to be upset, angry and hurt after being humiliated like that and it's understandable she became insecure around Rachel.
That being said, I think demanding Ross stop seeing Rachel was not only extreme but very unrealistic. If Rachel had just been friends with Ross it technically could have worked, but she was also best friends (and roommate) with his sister and his other closest friends. So in order for that to work, they ALL would've had to stop seeing Rachel or Ross would've had to stop seeing ALL of them, including HIS OWN SISTER. Realistically, that would never have worked. Plus, the issue wasn't Rachel; it was Emily not trusting Ross anymore. How were they gonna make the marriage work if she couldn't trust him?
Even if Phoebe's donation hadn't gotten Joey on TV she was stilll doing it to prove a point. I don't know if there is such a thing as a selfless good deed either, but from the show the closest anyone has come (in my opinion) is when Ross not only encouraged Carol to fix things with Susan before the wedding but also walked her down the aisle.
Chandler saying that Monica is the one who made him the best sex she's ever had is a nice callback to when she taught him about a woman's 7 erogenous zones to help him in his relationship with Kathy.
Lastly, I've had gallstones which was horribly painful and I had to have surgery to have my gallbladder removed. I've heard kidney stones are worse though.
Further context: Mork started out as a character on Happy Days, hence why Rachel brings him up
Totally agree about Emily !
I think you mean empathize with Emily? Emphasize is putting emphasis on something, like of the "utmost importance" (or similar). And sorry for being that person lol.
@@GreenAliceVerte Yes I did mean that and no worries, thanks for correcting me!
Agree with this sooo much!
Phoebe and her alone time with the triplets makes me cry so hard. Ive never given up a baby, but i know the feeling of the love comment you made.
I just want to comment on that part where you talk about loving your new baby once it’s born. The love you feel only grows as time goes by. For me, I love my kids so much that they feel like a actual part of me. I don’t know why but that amount of love is scary for me because it’s a reminder of how much pain I would feel if I ever lost them. It’s indescribable.
Rachel advising Ross to give Emily anything she wants is the selfless good deed that Phoebe is searching for. Because Rachel loves him, as she said to him two episodes ago.
My doctor was actually on vacation the day I was scheduled to delivery my baby but, she left me in the hands of a very qualified and compassionate colleague of hers (who thankfully wasn't obsessed with Fonzie). The moment I saw my son's foot (he was delivered through C-section, and the doc had him turned away from me at first) my face looked exactly like Alice's when she heard she was a mom. There's nothing like it in the world, my entire perception of what love was changed in a literal matter of minutes.
chandler is literally right, Monica did teach him the 7 points in season 4
I do agree with you. Emily is not wrong in asking Ross to not see Rachel anymore after what happened. I think that she has not broken up with Ross yet because they are trying to do everything they can to save the marriage. Just think about it, think how sad it can be to get married and then divorce just a few weeks later. Emily and Ross are not ready to accept the reality.
I mean yeah I agree...she was FINE with Rachel until Ross showed that he actually can't be "just friends" with her. What she's asking him for is completely justified. If he's not prepared to do that, fine. But if he wants to be with her that's what she needs to feel secure and that's totally valid. Like, many partners wouldn't want you hanging out with your ex at all but Emily was cool with it until Ross did what he did. And I think that's why I'm okay with her making that ask. It would be different if she just showed up in his life and told him to cut off Rachel just because.
@@Lina_unchained Agreed. And although it's a tall ask for Ross not to hang out with Rachel, and therefore might not see his sister and other best friends often... Ross is asking Emily to move from London to New York. Emily will have to leave all her family and friends, move to a place where she has no system of support, and have this issue of Ross probably having lingering feelings for his ex. And although Emily is unaware, Rachel admitted to still having feelings for Ross. That's just a can of worms.
I don’t think I could ever stay with someone who calls out his ex‘s name at the altar 🙈 I understand why she’s trying to save the marriage but when she allowed them to continue the ceremony I was very confused because I could’ve never done that
I think Emily's feelings are completely valid and understandable, but her ultimatum is honestly despicable.
The implications (of which she is aware) of having someone from a tight knit group basically ostracized to try and fix her own marriage instead of drawing the line, is what makes it such an unreasonable ask.
I'm not suggesting a way to fix it either, both Ross and Emily should've just called it long before it got to this.
FINALLY PEOPLE WHO GET IT
Funfact: Frank Jr's wife...the reason she wasn't in the show as much is partially because during Friends she had gotten That 70s show.
Also, Monica and Chandler did confirm their relationship, during thay conversation on the gurny in the hospital.
❤️🎬
Pheobe discovering the truth about Santa and Chandler all through the episode. perfection. 😂
'Fonzie' is an iconic character from the sitcom, Happy Days. He's a cool womanizer dude with a leather jacket. I remember watching it on a TV channel that runs old sitcoms when I was younger 👍
"You're actually really awesome 😭"
😂😂
Just as I got my dinner on a plate and was searching for something to watch, you upload a friends reaction. Perfect timing 😄
I love in a group interview after the series had wrapped, they asked the cast the two most asked questions from the fanbase. 1) was each one, individually, whether Ross and Rachel were on a break and 2) it was put to Schwimmer and Aniston, but the rest of the cast piped in, and were asked about the Emily ultimatum to Ross in this season that if she chose commiting herself to him, he would have to 86 Rachel from his life and what they would've done.
Their answers were fascinating and unexpected in a couple of different ways. One, both questions they all were in agreement and unanimous, no doubts, final answer. Which showed just how in synch they were with each other in real life and all on the same page. But also, two, how mature and adult they were in their thinking with relationships in actual reality and not dramatic effect for maximum comedic possibilities on a show.
But they all agreed, particularly Jennifer Aniston, that Ross and Rachel were definitely on a break. When pressed on this one, Aniston pushed right back sayng that she often doesn't agree with and align with Rachel's way of thinking or decision making. But understood it and that that type of mentality of unaccountably on her part is self sabotaging and immature for a woman her age. This tied in nicely to the second question where, again, unanimously they all agreed regarding the Ross-Emily situation the same thing. NO SPOILERS. I'll talk around it. But, everybody in the cast instantly agreed if he truly loves Emily, it's not even a choice and if he pretends that it is, he either doesn't really love her, or loves both women, consciously or subconsciously, or just wants it all despite it's a crappy selfish thing to do to your so called newly wedded wife. It's already not cool to be hanging around an ex if you're supposed to be in a committed relationship. They should be able to provide whatever it is emotionally that you are getting from a previous lover hanging out. It sends a bad message. Intuitively we all know this on a deeper unspoken level. It's also a younger person idealistic way of thinking. But not a realistic way. Its not how people and relationships with actual feelings and invested messy complex emotions operate in the real world. Youth want to go against the grain of human nature and rise above basic instincts and how everybody is wired more or less at a base level. Aniston said that all that is true, bit really it all comes down to maturity and growing the F up. The general rule is if you still need to hang out with someone you were intimate with and saw you naked, and don't see the problem with that, then the problem isn't with your partner whose calling you out, but with you. You're the problem. You're still thinking with immaturity. And if the ex comes with a group of friends and they're a all or nothing package, call it an era and move on. It's hard to tell a person in their 20's this because they're still in the eye of the storm of youth and still got some living to do before wisdom sets in. Eventually you move on. If you sleep with someone, that's why you have to seriously weigh the consequences because it really is going past the point of no return. If it doesn't work out, it jeopardizes the friendship absolutely. Because things do change. And honestly, how often really is your ex in your inner circle friends group? That's practically a tv troupe and Hollywood invention to create tension and story telling possibilities. It also keeps your characters in a holding pattern and immature far longer than they should be at their actual age because tv characters aren't really allowed to change much or they will lose their audience and what worked successfully before. Unfortunately, people watch these shows, identify with them and then confuse it for real life and how interpersonal relationships should work too when television is just fantasy league escapist entertainment taking extreme poetic license with reality. I thought it was very telling though the cast were all united in these issues and showed that by middle age, they could look back and see it all so clearly it comes down to maturity.
yes, many people do indeed describe the love towards kids as completely new,bigger capacity to love, that they never knew they had, and it sounds wonderful - but it doesn't automatically happen to every person. There's never
a guarantee for every single human that they'll feel that way. Many people struggle with not feeling much after having a baby, and there are entire threads called "i regret having kids", etc. It's important to
truly know that having kids is really something that will fullfill you, nurture and take care of someone for years is really your dream, before you have them....
The Cocoa Couch, You're the best! I just had to subscribe!
That "oh I´m gonna be in the News" cracks me up EVERY (in cheerleader custome) TIME.
One of my favorite random scenes in Friends is Chandler screaming when he sees the Duck and the Chick (Rooster) watching the cooking channel LMAO His desperation, so funny
My grandmother’s had kidney stones several times, a couple of which she had to undergo surgery to remove them. She also gave birth to three kids before drugs and pain relief existed to relieve that. She said hands down the pain of kidney stones is worse than giving birth.
*EVIL JOE* on the etcher-sketch on the back of the apartment door 😂
I needed this today. A family member passed away and I needed some comfort and your videos made this day a little bit easier. Thank you ❤
My condolences 🙏❤
"Na-noo, Na-noo." 👽Although I cannot stand the doctor's constant referencing of Happy Days, I loved the show and the cameo appearances of Mork.😊Mork was actually Robin Williams's first television appearance. He played an alien, Mork from Ork, that caused problems in the Cunningham house with The Fonz (aka Arthur Fonzarelli). Mork was later revised in the 1980s sitcom "Mork and Mindy" which was set in Boulder Colorado. Robin went on to do so much more and we all have Happy Days to thank for it!
If I'm not mistaken, they wrote in Phoebe's pregnancy cuz Lisa Kudrow was actually pregnant irl
Yes, that's right. They had to enhance her bump though since Lisa only had one and Phoebe was supposed to have 3 😊
You nailed it man. I've got three kids myself, and I would burn the world for them. Pheobe is a very special lady.
Phoebe's brother is crazy 🤣
The producers said that they intentionally went a very different way with Chandler & Monica then with Ross & Racheal. C & M had an up close view of the huge melodrama fiasco with R & R. They wouldn't want a repeat of that. It's why they were keeping it a secret from their friends, and why they didn't "make it official" even to each other in the beginning.
They were obviously smitten with each other, but trying take it slow, on an emotional level (in spite of the face that they'd already been good friends for 10 years and could not keep their hands off each other).
Had been refreshing my feed to check if you uploaded yet! 😁
Oh man I just found you from a recommended video at the end of last season and now I just realized... This isn't a complete series yet 😂
First of all - I love Monica and Chandler, they are so cute and relatable 🥰 fun to watch them make relationship chicken, without them just giving up. (Everybody take notes 😉 )
Secondly - In relation to Ross and Emily, I think it is unfair that she is asking him to move away from his son. If he didn't have Ben, it would be more reasonable to drop the relationship with his ex, see his sister for the holidays and find new friends - to fix the relationship. After all she would otherwise have to leave everyone behind to do the same for him. But because he has a son, it is completely unreasonable to ask him to move (in my opinion).
Expect him to give up a friend where he lives... that doesn't seem unreasonable unless you know the group - then it seems more like a way to get him to take responsibility for a divorce rather than just saying now is enough - after what happened at the wedding.
But she was also rather unreasonable for not wanting to speak to him sooner, even thought what he did was wrong (in my opinion). 🙃
Thanks for the videos - love them 🥰
I quote rachel's " oh i gonna be in the news " every chance i get XD
Been waiting for this update!!
Excellent observation in Phoebe's experience...thank you. ❤️🎬
I've had a baby and 5 kidney stones. Three of my five stones were FAR WORSE than the baby. The last stone, I was legit laying on the floor at work (I was an ambulance dispatcher) in the dark, praying I would pass out from the pain. Until they called one of our ambulances, the only critical care team we had, to take me to the hospital two towns over that I worked a PT job in the emergency room because I only trusted them.
I know you’re likely too young understand the Fonzie reference, but I think it’s cute that you did a pretty fair impression of Fonzie when you said “Hey!” at 2:53. 👍👍
No kids of my own, but yeah, its true. I love, worry about, and support my sibling's kids just as if they were my own, and it's a love I never knew was possible ❤❤
25:10 Exactly, Oscar! Why on earth would anyone feel the need to apologise for being happy that they'd done the right thing? To me, I would only worry if I was happy because I knew I'd done a terrible thing.
(It always exasperates me when writers make characters mouth their own misanthropic neuroses.)
Amazing episodes!!! I Just love the birthday's episode.. was the 100° episode of Friends! ❤️
I'm so invested in your reaction to the friends videos I love it
I think that Emily’s emotional issues are completely understandable. She was humiliated by Ross in front of her family and the man she wanted to marry. If my fiancé (if I had one) said another woman’s name, I would’ve gone off. I do think it was weird that she went through with the actual wedding, the vows, everything, and then just disappeared. That’s something I wouldn’t have done, at least not going through with the rest of the ceremony.
That being said, Emily’s main issue with Ross is that she couldn’t trust him anymore, especially not around her. I’ve never been married or engaged but, I was almost. Long story in itself but the bottom line? I said no because I couldn’t trust him anymore. When it came to my relationship with him, there was only one woman that I felt threatened by, only one, and he knew this. He got upset, and he went and slept with her. I’ll give him props, he did at least tell me, and he said he regretted it, but no matter how much he claimed to love me, I couldn’t trust him anymore. I wanted to, more than anything, but I literally couldn’t.
Emily’s request of him not seeing Rachel was both extreme and unrealistic. Some comments have already explained why, but I’ll add that Rachel was and always will be his first love. You can’t forget about them, even when you do finally move on (in most cases; there are some where you end up with your first love) and because she’s one of his friends, and she has close ties with his best friends and family members, he would never actually be rid of her without getting rid of the rest of his family and friends. So in regards to her ultimatum, I don’t agree. With her feelings though, I do agree
I feel like you're not heard enough. Not about this comment only. I took a look at your blog as well. Neither your religious absolute nor a mere philosophical abstract absolute does justice to our humanity regarding a situation like Emily's. We have the right to be a betting and separating person for love. Most of the time randomness of love is nurtured in the following relationship, unlike the friendship-based ones like Ross and Rachel. That's why some justifiable criticize How I Met Your Mother following the steps of Friends in this regard. Ted and Robin and Ross and Rachel are forced romanticism stories. The kind of romanticism that got corrupted away from its philosophical and literary counterparts.
In Emily's case, she liberates this romanticism from the human aspect of Ross. Despite his faults, she gives into the forgiving nature of their shared love. This imperfect, asymmetrical structure finds life by the bargain, which Ross intuitively yields.
I'm not a religious person, I have not even grown up
in a Christian society, but my favourite compass is a German Romanticist who conveys his philosophy by referring to the Will of Love/Love of God; who only in the end rejects the Absolutes and Ideals, not because he thinks that he was in the wrong; but only because he realizes that this is how reality works. God himself is divided into light and dark. We are the freedom generated by this contradictory nature of life. We are the struggle and God itself.
Happy racing Taylor.
It may not be totally unreasonable, but it is impossible what Emily is asking. Rachel is not just a random ex girlfriend than Ross dated for a while. she is also Monica's best friend and roommate. And the six of them do basically everything together. What does Emily think Rachel would do everytime Ross comes over to see his sister or the gang wants to hang out at the apartment.... Rachel has to leave her own home? She is basically asking all in the friendgroup to accomodate and make sacrifices just so that Ross never sees Rachel again. They could not hang out at Monica's place as a group ever again, because Rachel is there and you can't ask her to leave her own home. And her demands just get worse and more unreasonable.....
Emily has every right to be mad at Ross and feel akward around Rachel, but like said Rachel is not just some random ex. It's like when Rachel and Ross broke up, they had to get over the anger or otherwise that was it for them to ever hang out again as a group of six.
None of this would be a problem if Ross and Rachel were people that could be trusted. Emily is doing the thing many cheated on people do initially: they are looking for a solution that will 'contain' the cheater into a space where he'll be faithful, because they don't want to accept that cheaters cannot be controlled and that the relationship isn't salvagable because of that.
It's a really bad way to try and regain some dignity, control and power, because it's just so incredibly humiliating to accept that the only real power she has here is the power to leave.
16:54 PBS = Public Broadcasting Service.
Phoebe would be an amazing mum
Whoa, that cute doctor is Howard Hamlin!
They made it goofy but Joey is right except it's not about how you feel afterwards but why you do it deep down. Pheobe is only doing things to win one over Joey which is selfish no matter what she did
Thanks, Oscar! ☕ Kevin Bright and Shelley Jensen directed these two episodes.
phoebe's scene always make me cry
PBS is the public TV station in the US. It has a lot of documentaries and children’s programming. It gets a lot of its funding from the viewers donating, and so multiple times a year they will do these pledge drives where they have a whole day of (usually) terrible programming and cheesy hosts, and people call in and offer to donate money. It’s basically like a six hour long commercial lol
Also, I never understood the argument that that if you enjoy doing a good deed, it makes it selfish. I think you need to look at your motivation and make sure you weren’t doing it for personal glory or your own ego, but I think you can help others without it being selfish. I think feeling good about it helps us overcome our own selfishness and start thinking of others more naturally.
Emily has all the right to ask for that, I agree.
I've had kidney stones before. They are not pleasant.
I've had gallstones and that was not pleasant either. Had to have surgery to have my gallbladder removed. I've heard kidney stones are worse though.
@@Heida77 Well, I didn't have to have surgery, so your thing sounds worse to me.
@@Indego84 I guess it just depends on the situation. But my gallbladder was absolutely destroyed and I was lucky I got to surgery at that time, otherwise I would have had to wait for a few weeks with excruciating pain!
2:05 just wait till you see the blooper!
The rise of MONDLER! ❤❤❤❤❤
I can say from EXCRUCIATING experience, kidney stones are horrible. No one should ever have to go through that, it’s absolutely miserable. The passing of the stone isn’t the worst part - or at least wasn’t for me, but the pain when it was moving through the body was agonizing. At the worst point, I could barely stand, it felt like someone was holding a power drill right into the base of my spine and sides at the same time.
I have three boys and with every one, I grew another heart so I say that I have four hearts: one for each boy and one for everything and everyone else A parents love is the hardest to explain
I feel like people really hate emily for asking Ross that, but I totally understand where she’s coming from, I would be really insecure too if I was her
❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷
Yeah I think a good way to think about it is her expectations are unrealistic but understandable.
@@thecocoacouch Can you please react to kung fu panda 4
I found out the day before going to give birth that due to my doctor having a falling out with some others at his practice that he could no longer work at my hospital (it was a non compete issue). I ended up telling the other doctor off on the phone basically turning into the worst version of myself. An hour later I got a phone call back from my doctor saying they made an exception for me. So I can tell you the hormones might make us crazy but crazy is also effective at times.
Emily is completely in the right for wanting Ross to cut off Rachel. Ross and Rachel love each other too much and it will never work with Emily if such an ex is still in the picture. I agree that it would be better to just end the relationship. But they are MARRIED. They gotta at least try to work it out. And if they're gonna try, the best way to do it is by building Emily's security back by being away from Rachel. I mean, after all that has happened, Emily is still willing to leave London - her hometown, her family and friends and MOVE for Ross. The least he could do after making such terrible mistakes is not talk to the ex that is still in love with him.
Such wholesome reactions ❤!love them! Could I please suggest watching 'Everybody loves Raymond ' and 'Frasier'? Or maybe movies like father of the bride?
Selfless good deed?
Court ordered community service.😎
14:03 it’s exactly like that ❤
I think Episode 3 speaks to the inevitable problem that arises when a couple decides not to label themselves officially. When there is no line set, it’s easy for things to go further than they did here, and people get jealous.
Regarding why Emily is still with Ross, the short answer is that she loves him, but I imagine it’s not dissimilar to how people who’ve been cheated on behave when their partner is around people of the gender that partner is interested in. We can talk about the logical thing to do, but humans aren’t logical in love. 😅
I love the more realistic way they handled Phoebe giving birth and starting to want to keep one of the babies. It makes complete sense that she knew it would be inappropriate to ask, but couldn’t help her feelings of losing all three babies. The only way they could have made it better, in my opinion, is if they prolonged the feelings for more than just the episode. By that, I don’t mean that Phoebe should regret it long-term, just that her mixed feelings lasted a little longer. “I’m really happy I did that, but I’m also sad that I couldn’t raise them” and how she learnt to cope with that over another episode or two.
..
As for Emily, it’s an unfair ask that also makes complete sense because the feelings are still there for Ross and Rachel, so it isn’t like they’re just friends/exes. It’s justified, but the right thing to do would have been to postpone the wedding when the wrong name was said and not fumble through it with anger and resentment. They should have discussed what to do before making it more complicated with a marriage commitment that makes them both feel even more tied to a relationship that is already so rocky. Then there would have been more time to figure out what they both needed and whether a compromise could be found that they were both happy with. If not, the relationship ends, they go their separate ways and no divorce/moving countries needed. Ross just keeps fluffing up and Emily, no doubt due to shock and embarrassment, made the wrong decision to go ahead anyway.
Loveeeeee this reaction!!!❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
When I first watched as kid, I really hated Emily. After a couple of years, I now realize that she was completely on the right by asking Ross to not see Rachel. Imagine that the man you love and married said someone’s name at the altar and then proceeded to go the honeymoon with that person. I would never go back with Ross but since she did, she is right to demand certain things from him.
Great reaction, love your videos
I can’t wait for you to see a certain episode coming up- I don’t want to spoil it but I’m just waiting for your reaction for it 😆
17:30 just cus it makes you feel good it doesn't mean its selfish
In answer to your question about “finding the right doctor,” in the US, you can absolutely fire any of your medical staff and ask them not to be in your room anymore. I fired one of my nurses during labor. I would ask for options, and she would only give me the worst case scenario. One time she literally said “your baby could suffocate in three minutes.” While that may be accurate, it wasn’t helpful cuz I wasn’t at that stage yet. I found it very annoying that she basically was trying to scare me into making a decision. Even my doctor was annoyed at her. Her boss happened to be the next nurse that came in, so we just kindly asked that she not be in our room anymore. We didn’t even have to give a reason. We just asked that she not come in anymore.
21:28 it is sad but understandable.
But it be hard cus ross hangs with the others and his sister and his sister and Rachel are roomies they all hang out together so either ross basically can't hang out with his friends and sister or Rachel can be around her friends .
But it should be fine for Rachel and ross to be in the same room if the rest of the gang is there right?
hi mister cocoa couch, could you upload every single day? this breaks between episodes are SO DAMN LONG
there's a theory that phoebe was already pregnant before frank and alice asked, and so she actually gave away her babies for real, instead of the surrogacy route they were all thinking was happening.
We need 1 video every day, please ❤
The reason chandler is the best monica has ever had is because of the info he got from her
My favorite show ❤😊
I'm really hoping you react to the blooper reels as well 😅
Unhinged Ross era is the best
I had kidney stones. They are hell.
When my mum had me apparently she had a really cute doctor and asked to swap for an ugly doctor because she didn’t want the cute one to see her give birth😂😂
Hey are you planning to watch Friends reunion after you’re done with all season of the show? It would be very nice ending of your reactions on Friends
I think he probably will
Monica and Chandler want to hide their relationship but they didn't even try to hide it
Of course I feel very badly for Emily. It was a big mistake for Ross & Emily to rush into marriage. It's too bad that neither of them stepped on the brakes to take more time to think things through.
If you haven't already watched...I look forward to you checking out Buffy the Vampire Slayer and then Angel...you might recognize a certain couple of doctors from this episode.
❤️🎬😀👍
I’m usually against preventing the partner from a friend but I’m totally getting Emily and can’t blame her at all , she can leave Ross but that choice was her only way to save the relationship
18:26🤣
Emily (Helen Baxendale) is pregnant during the filming of the episode which is probably why her belly is concealed under the blanket on the bed.
