The One in Massapequa

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 3 September 2011]

Another great episode. Parker, the character played by Alec Baldwin is outrageously hilarious. Thanks to him there were so many great lines! "Concrete miracle" or what Phoebe said about Santa Clause on Prozac, in Disney land, getting laid. I think that is one of my favorite quotes from the show. And Alec Baldwin was absolutely great in it

The story about Ross and Rachel talking about their wedding was pretty good too. I also like how Judy said that they find it marvellous that they are having a child out of wedlock. And Rachel's idea for the wedding was crazy, it is funny how she told Ross that they can't say that he drove in on the Harley because they need to keep it realistic and that after all that she said.

The one with Jack's and Judith's Anniversary!

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 17 April 2009]

It's Judith's and Jack's wedding Anniversary Party and Phoebe wants to bring Parker, a guy that she is dating, to the party. Parker is the most optimist person in the world, always happy with everything that happens, but he annoys the Friends a lot with all this optimism. Monica wants to make the toast and the speech this year, because Ross is always the responsible to make everybody stays touched and crying. Trying to bring more tears then Ross to their parents, Monica writes in her speech everything she can remember that is a tragedy that happened in their family, like Chichi, their dead dog, or Nana, Monica's and Ross' grandmother who also pasted away.

At the party, Ross' parents tell to him and Rachel that they told to some of their friends that Ross and Rachel married, since their friends don't have the same open mind of them.

At first, Ross and Rachel didn't like the idea, but as the party goes, Ross and specially Rachel,start to invent a lot of details of their imaginary wedding. (some of them VERY hard to believe!)

Monica doesn't have success in making anyone cry, what makes her stay frustrated.

"Why don't I remember this dog?!"

This, much like the Brad Pitt episode earlier in the series is all about a guest star coming in and being the central focus. On this occasion it's Alec Baldwin as Parker, Phoebe's new boyfriend who is so enthusiastic about everything it annoys the other friends.

I liked the Rachel/Ross story line too, with the story of their fake wedding getting more elaborate.

The Monica story line was OK too, made better by some strong lines by recurring guest stars, Elliot Gould and Christina Pickles.

Not the best episode of this 8th series, but still good fun.

The Gellers' 35th Wedding Anniversary

[vivianla · 30 December 2020]

Phoebe asks the Geller siblings if she can bring someone to their parents' wedding anniversary. She wants to bring the guy she met at the laundromat.

They meet the guy at the apartment and he compliments everything. At the party he keeps doing so and Joey says he wants to use the washroom but he doesn't want the guy to compliment "his thing".

Monica does the speech this year instead of Ross and she hopes she can get her parents to cry like how when Ross does it. Ross does a speech after as asked by their mom and she cries.

Rachel and Ross pretend to be married as the Gellers have told their friends they are so because they are more traditional and they had their baby out of wedlock.
