“Insolence”?!? My husband calls me insolent too - I don’t know where you guys are getting that!
Oh yeah, Phoebe and the Bagpipes. I love watching the bloopers and seeing that the cast could barely hold it together long enough to film the scene.

“Joey, you can’t tell anybody!”
“Couldn’t if I wanted to.”
Yes, there was a time when women cared about how their legs looked. Remarkable.
Just adding yet another Friends gem:
Chandler is depressed at Thanksgiving - Monica goes to his apartment with a huge raw turkey on her head, complete with a hat and sunglasses. She does this goofy dance and Chandler says “I love you…” followed by Joey walking in, seeing the turkey and freaking out. I laugh to the point of tears every time I see it:
If I ever write a book about continuity flubs in network TV, I’m going to call it How Big Is Chandler’s Dick?
It’s established early in the show that he is - at best - averagely endowed (think of Joey’s derisive laughter at Rachael’s attempts to make him “this generation’s Milton Berle”). Then, much later, there are several gags suggesting just the opposite. The scene with Phoebe staring into Chandler’s bathtime bubbles and offering Monica an impressed “mazel tov” is just one example.
The great thing about that episode is the fact that they all bet to see who knows the most about the group, and of course the real winner is Ross, writer of all the trivia questions. And none of them seems to recognize this.
IIRC, they didn’t “all bet”: Ross and Phoebe weren’t part of the trivia challenge. The contest was only for Monica & Rachel and Chandler & Joey, to determine who would get the “good” apartment.
Well, not necessarily. Since Ross was tasked with writing the questions,* of course *he’ll know all the answers. That doesn’t mean there aren’t also things the others know that he doesn’t.
Oops - my bad - I got confused from watching an episode on tv out of order - Chandler did NOT have a nipple re-growth!
Gandalf the Party Wizard --the friend of Ross and Chandler’s who takes them on crazy adventures–led to my favorite joke.
Joey: Who’s Gandalf?
Ross: ‘Who’s Gandalf?’ Didn’t you read Lord of the Rings in high school?
Joey: No, I had sex in high school.
Ross: “I’ve got Canadian money, a snake bite kit and an extra pair of socks!”
Chandler: “Dude, it’s not gonna be exactly like last time!”
“Seven… Seven… Seven! Seven! Seven! seven…” (holds up seven fingers)
Ross: “Chandler entered a Vanilla Ice look-alike contest and won!”
Chandler: “Ross came fourth and cried!”
I’m surprised that the subject of Chandler’s transvestitie father has been raised. Monica insists on inviting him (her?) to their wedding, so they go to Vegas.
Chandler: And there’s Daddy.
Monica, positively drop-jawed: That cannot be your father.
Chandler: Believe me, I’ve been saying that for years.
And this later exchange between Chandler’s parents.
Daddy: You cannot see the bride in her dress before the wedding. That’s bad luck.
Mommy: I saw the groom in my wedding dress.
Daddy: Yes, but that was after the wedding, so it wasn’t bad luck.
Mommy: Well, believe me, it wasn’t good luck.
Mommy was played by Morgan Fairchild, and Daddy by Kathleen Turner!
Ross: “We were on a break!”
Chandler: “Oh, my God! If you say that one more time, I’m going to break up with you!”
I think your friend “Pheebs” is right…
I could’ve sworn that it was “Chariots of Fire” and “WaB 2”, but you’re definitely right about the first half, and probably about the second.
The trivia contest may be my favorite scene of the whole series.
RickJay is right; it was definitely Dangerous Liaisons and Weekend At Bernie’s.
That episode is one of my favorites.
Ross’ boss threw his sandwich out. Ross scream,“My SANDWICH! My SANDWICH!!”
Joey was played as fairly dim, but he held his own in his own way.
That’s right! In all fairness, Joey always didn’t share food, and Ross just had issues with it when the rest of his life was crumbling.
I just met Phoebe’s birth mom again - Terri Garr was some of the finest casting in the history of television as Phoebe Sr. She looked like Phoebe, she acted like Phoebe, she even sounded like Phoebe.
