That line annoys me, because he should actually hate simple carbohydrates (i.e. sugary, starchy, and/or refined foods). Complex carbs are our friends!

I love Brad and I thought he was just okay funny on Friends. But the guy can do comedy - rent "True Romance" and see his small role as Michael Rappaport's stoner roommate if you think the guy can't do comedy - he's a scream!

Thank you! I watched the episode on You Tube today and the same thing bothered me.

India, I agree. But I think it worked so well because that character wasn't that much of a stretch for him.



I just bought a toaster oven with a timer that has a loud "ding" when it is done, and every time it goes off, my husband and I make flamenco hand gestures and say, "My fajitas!" like Ross did in the episode where he sees Joey and Rachel kiss. ("The one where Ross is fine.") That was the only good that came out of Joey and Rachel getting together.

Hee! The "ding" made me think of when Joey moves to his new apartment:

Joey: Is that the oven timer?
Chandler: Baywatch!
Joey: Oh, they're running!
Chandler: Run, Yasmine, run! This is the genius of the show. They should always keep them running.

Or something like that. I watched the episode in the last week, but I can't remember it verbatim.

Wow, I was just watching The One With Ross's Wedding Pt 2 on TBS and I just figured out that the guy Rachel talks to on the plane over to London is none other than Hugh Laurie! It was so weird to hear him with his actual accent.

I love that episode because it kicks off one of my favorite plotlines ever - Monica and Chandler hooking up and trying to keep it a secret.

I discovered the exact same thing when it aired a couple of weeks ago! I was so surprised. I was also surprised to see that girl from Saved in the episode with Susan Sarandon on the soap opera.

Well, that's Susan Sarandon's daughter, Eva Amurri, in Saved! and playing opposite her mom in the soap opera episode! She looks just like her, I think!

I love love LOVE "*Ding!* My FAJITAS!" And Hugh Laurie was great as Rachel's seat mate to London. "I'm afraid that I have to agree with your friend 'Feebs', that this is a terrible decision.."

[pamster]

What about the ep where Monica and Ross's grandma dies? With the Sweet'n Lows?

Is she dead? Monica: "Yes. We checked. A LOT".

And when Ross falls over the dresser into the back of Grandma's closet? "Oh, THERE'S my retainer!"

I haven't seen this one in a long time but it's my all time fave. So many good lines!

Chandler: "Well, don't we look nice, all dressed up? ...It's things like that, isn't it?"

Mr. Gellar, at the funeral reception w/the game on Joey's radio: "Now I'm depressed!"

I'm laughing typing this.
