SYNOPSIS: A bunch of Friends hang out in a coffee shop. Spoiled rich girl leaves her fiance at the altar. Rich girl spends the day with The Friends. Rich girl finds high school chum at a coffee shop? Apparently her nerd brother has a thing for her? This could have been handled better.
IS PORN MENTIONED?: Nah
EPISODE MVP: Probably Ross? Ah I hate that it is probably Ross. I hate that I can see studio execs watching his performance, looking at each other and winking. "We got a winner here, champ."
CLASSIC FRIENDS MOMENT:
"Hey, Pheebs, you wanna help?"
"Oh, I wish I could, but I don't want to."
So many time I have used this. So many times.
CHANDLER PUFFINESS: 1.0/10.0
IS ROSS THE WORST?: Of course Ross is the worst. That's why this has its own category. He's not TOO bad here though. You can see the beginning of "David Schwimmer is the Gen X Dustin Hoffman!"
FEEDBACK:
Joey's hair.
What the fuck with Joey's hair.
Joey and Phoebe are definitely the two characters that took the longest for the writers to figure out, and in the beginning they aren't much more than Guido Guy and Hippie Chick. I think they end up being my two favorite characters in the show, though, so plus one for patience.
Well, this isn't a very good episode of television. I don't think I watched it when it was on, but if I had I would have probably complained about it to my fellow college students, in between bong hits.
But! Was "Friends" the first show to acknowledge that having a job, and having to go to that job, objectively sucked? I kinda think it was.
In a vacuum this is bad, but as a harbinger of what's to come, I'm more lenient with the grade. Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You'll love it,
GRADE: B-
