Friends (TV Series) The One After the Superbowl: Part 2 (1996) User Reviews

Just a reminder off what life is all about sometimes

[josvde · 10/10 · 6 November 2023]

With Matthew Perry's recent passing, this one goes straight from the cheeks (who hurt like hell from all the laughing) to the heart.

I never felt grief so fast after feeling so euphoric. It is such a beautiful experience to deeply and truthfully appreciate an actor's legacy.

It just sucks that he is gone.

Makes you reflect on how you want people to remember you after you leave this world for good.

It makes me think back on the look on my grandparents' face when they talked about Frank Sinatra's passing, or on how my mom was feeling so sad when Amy Winehouse passed away.

I didn't understand it as a little boy, that they felt such an intense emotional connection to someone they never met.

But I'm happy to understand it now.

To Matthew.

One Of The Best Episodes Ever

[slightlymad22 · 10/10 · 11 December 2014]

Not just one of the best episodes of the season, but one of the best of the shows entire run.

Plot In A Paragraph: Chandler runs into a former class mate from fourth grade (A superb guest staring role from Julia Roberts) who he humiliated during the school play. Meanhile Monica and Rachel fall out over who should date Jean Claude Van Damme (playing himself) and Ross tries to spend some time with Marcel, while Joey tries to get a part in the movie Outbreak 2: The Virus Takes Manhatten.

Matthew Perry is superb in this episode and he had great chemistry with Julia Roberts. The scene where they were making out on the sofa was great and the scene in the toilet stall with David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc is one of my favourites.

The One After the Superbowl: Part 2

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 19 June 2011]

This is a very good episode as well. One of the guest stars is Julia Roberts. She is went with Chandler to the fourth grade and one day he lifted her skirt and let everyone see her underpants. She gets her revenge by having Chandler wear her panties and leave him in the bathroom in them without any clothes on. The bathroom scene between Chandler, Joey and Ross is one of the best parts of the episode. Especially when Joey looks into Chandler's stall and Ross comes in and sees it

Monica and Rachel have a nice story too. They are fighting over Jean Claude Van Damme, and the fight scenes are very good. Especially when they fight by destroying each other's stuff

The One After the Superbowl: Part 2

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 6 May 2008]

Ross is sad because he doesn't have Marcel's complete attention, since his ex monkey has a lot of job to do as a business star.

Monica and Rachel stay excited when they see Jean-Claude Van Damme in the set. Monica doesn't have courage to talk to him, so she asks Rachel to asks him to go out with her (Monica. But everything ends up in a very different way, since Jean-Claude stays interested in Rachel.

Joey sees an opportunity to get a part in the movie that Marcel is working.

Chandler stays interested in Susie Moss,a former classmate whom he once humiliated causing her to be nicknamed 'Susie underpants' by the entire school.They decides to go out on a date, but Susie has diabolic plans to revenge on Chandler.

One of the best episodes of Friends

[manugarg · 10/10 · 17 February 2015]

This episode contains one of the best scenes from 'Friends': Chandler is stuck in a restaurant toilet wearing only panties (how that came to happen is also pretty interesting) and Joey is looking over from another stall; Ross walks in with no idea of what is actually going on, looks at Joey and says with a grin: 'Some people don't like that.' It's just hilarious. I could not stop laughing until my abs were hurting big time. You will need to watch it to really understand what I mean.

Other bits are pretty cool as well. This episode has Julia Roberts and Van Damme as guest stars. Rachel and Monica's fight over Van Damme is pretty hilarious. Julia Roberts is looking lovely as always.

I know I am getting old...

[hanscarstenstenzel · 10/10 · 17 June 2022]

... but I love it. Today after watching Top Gun Maverik, I came home and started watching this episode. It brings back memories. The 90s... JCVD, Outbreak and the young Julia Roberts. Man, Live is so good. And of course Top Gun and the 80s.

Iconic

[semilovatomanchester · 10/10 · 12 December 2020]

Have watched it over and over and still love it it's the one reason I have a Netflix subscription highly recommend

The One With The Super Star Monkey

[devashishparnami · 9/10 · 7 February 2018]

At the site of the movie co-starring the capucin Marcel, Ross is disappointed not to get his former pet's full attention, but is promised a reunion afterward, which is however canceled. Joey attempts to get a part in the movie. The girls only have eyes for human star Jean-Claude Van Damme; since Monica is too shy to address him, Rachel asks him, but he invites her- several rows and dates are the even literally messy result. Chandler meets a former classmate, Susie Moss, whom he once humiliated causing her to be nicknamed 'Susie underpants', but now makes him ask her out and wear her panties, alas not just for the kick. Finally Ross gets a surprise.

Pretty weak episode

[interestingstuff · 16 February 2023]

Let's admit it, this is a pretty below average episode overall but people overhype it and rate it extremely high only because it has several guest stars that are famous such as Julia Roberts and Jean-Claude Van Damme. If it wasn't for appearances by those hugely popular guest stars, this episode would have gotten 6 maybe 7 at best but it gets almost 9 because people are too star-struck.

The storyline is weak, jokes fall flat, half of the episode is Monica and Rachel fighting with each other and tearing each other apart while Ross is barely there and Chandler is just a side character in Susie's (Julia's) storyline.

Just skip this episode. Nothing interesting happens here.

Best one yet

[woutdedroog-34655 · 10/10 · 16 June 2022]

What an unbelievable good episode. This is one of the best episodes I ever watched ( not just from friends but all the series togheter) can't believe this episode only got 8.7

A good second part

[studioAT · 5/10 · 23 April 2017]

After a bit of a lull in the middle the second series of 'Friends' bounced back with a good run of episodes, with this being a good example of that.

All six main actors get something substantial to do, and all three of the stories being told are fun and funny.

My personal favourite was the one involving Matthew Perry's Chandler, as Perry brings so much to the character and the interaction between all the guys in the men's room was fun too.

A really fun episode overall.
