In the episode(s) where Joey had an apartment of his own - he had a chair - it was the same chair that was in Worf’s quarters on ST: TNG - anyone have a clue what that chair is? ---

> [@WOOKINPANUB](#): > > I have a question that may or may not be \*Friends \*related Not even sure how to pose it. Okay, I have this vague, fraction of a memory niggling at my brain of two male characters having a conversation whereby one is, I don’t know - lamenting _something_-and the other one mocks him in a condescending, talking to a small child type of voice. He says something like " ,awwwww, did it hurrrrrt?" or, ugh. I don’t remember what. When I try to think of the details it’s just out of my reach but I have a feeling it might have been a Joey scene. Sparse details I know, but since you’re all _Friends_ fans I thought it might sound familiar. It’s driving me crazy because I can hear the tone and the cadence but I don’t know how to convey it in words. I don’t think I’ve heard this exchange yet, but I’ll keep my ears peeled for it. 🙂 ---

There’s an early first season episode where Ross gets hit with a hockey puck and goes to the ER. The nurse is a horrible unsympathetic woman who I think might say that line. ---

My absolute favorite exchange, which beautifully illustrates Phoebe’s goofiness, is from the episode where Ross is challenged to make a list of all 50 states. Ross is struggling, he has only 49 states identified. Phoebe decides to give it a go. A bit later, the others return: (paraphrased) Someone: How’s it going, Pheebs? Phoebe: I got bored with states, so I decided to list all the types of lettuce. Someone: Oh? How many do you have so far? Phoebe: Just one. Regular lettuce. mmm ---

Phoebe and Chandler are my favourites. Also, rewatching this stuff on youtube, I was amazed at how progressive most of it was. Gay relationships and gender issues are sometimes used as a punchline, but as far as I can tell never derisively. ---

That was a funny one! " Oh, _thaat’s attraaaactive_". Not what I have in my addled mind, though. It’s definitely a guy who says it which is what makes the delivery especially funny. ---

Eeeeep! I think I remeber it. I couldn’t find it on Youtube, but I think it’s the one where Joey takes Chandler to his movie preview and Chandler falls asleep. ???Like, maybe Chandler says “I was so tired” and Joey says" Ohhhhhh, were you tiiiiiired?!" I dunno gang, but it’s driving me crazy. ---

Are you sure you aren’t thinking of the one where they all go to the beach, and Phoebe invites along her friend Bonnie (played by Christine Taylor) who likes Ross, except now she’s bald, and we meet Phoebe’s mom, played by Teri Garr? There’s that great scene where Ross falls asleep reading the 18-page (front and back!) letter from Rachel, where she expects him to accept responsibility for their breakup. Ross admits he fell asleep, and Rachel mocks him. Ross: “It was 18 pages! FRONT AND BACK!!! I fell asleep!” Rachel: (in a mocking tone) “You fell asleep?” ---

I love when Ross & Rachel are in the planetarium, including the part where she misunderstands what happened with the juice box. 🙂 ---

“Whup-PAAA!” “What is that?” “Whipped.” “Whipped is “Wha-CHHHHHH!”” “That’s what I did. “Whup-PAAA!”” “You…can’t do anything!” From “The One With All the Wedding Dresses,” which is also one of my favourites. 😃 ---

Joey has a girlfriend (Soleil Moon Frye) who likes to punch him, and the rest of the gang makes fun of him for complaining about it. ---

Thanks to all who tried to help me figure it out. It’s actually season 8, episode 22 “The one where Rachel is late”. Joey is berrating Chandler for falling asleep during his movie premier and Chandler says “I feel so bad, I couldn’t sleep last night” and Joey says something like “are you upset; did you lose sleeeeeeeep?” It’snot that hilarious or anything, just a cute line that my brain was teasing me with.
