The One in Vegas: Part 2

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 16 August 2011]

Reading what people have to say about Joey's hand twin story I know that it is not a popular one. So I am in the minority but I love it! Joey harassing that poor man was making me laugh and how excited he was! "How much would you pay to see this hand twice?!". And the song he sings makes me laugh whenever I see this episode, I even end up singing it after

Story of Phoebe and the lurker is a bit lame. I am pretty bored when Phoebe comes up in this episode

But Ross and Rachel completely take this episode! How they were in the plane and he drew on her! And them getting drunk in the hotel room until they go out and have a night full of adventures that leads to one of the best season finale's in friends. In my opinion it is even better than the one where Ross says "Rachel"

The One Where Somebody Get's Married

[devashishparnami · 8/10 · 3 July 2019]

Monica gambles instead of making up with Chandler. While Rachel is sleeping Ross draws a beard and a mustache on her face. Rachel is really upset because it won't come off anymore. Monica and Chandler make up when Monica tells him she won't see Richard anymore and that Chandler is the love of her life. Rachel doesn't want to leave her room so Ross and Rachel get drunk and play blackjack in Ross' room. Monica and Chandler win big in the casino. They bet that if they win the next round they will get married right now and... they win! Ross and Rachel are very drunk and leave the room with both their faces drawn on. When Chandler and Monica go to get married, Rachel and Ross come out of the chapel very drunk - and married.

The Episode Where Joey Jumps The Shark

[heyitsadam · 7/10 · 28 March 2018]

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire Vegas premise. The concept of Joey trekking across the US to be in a movie that gets canceled the second he arrives is a very "Joey" thing to happen; however, this is the episode where the writing in "Friends" converts Joey from "lovable not-book-smart dim-bulb artist" to "fully mentally challenged adult." From this episode forward, Joey pretty much functions as a mentally challenged adult. He doesn't know how to pay his bills. He picks a roommate based on the fact that he wants to date her not even thinking about what happens if they break up. He fights with an infant over a stuffed animal. And here, he's obsessed with his "identical hand twin," which sounds so ridiculous I would have loved to have heard that pitch in the writer's room. There was nothing wrong with a character who is all looks and no brains. Joey wouldn't be the first one of those on TV, but to make him some kind of idiot savant ... this was the beginning of the end of the show.

The One in Vegas: Part 2

A fun and funny end to the 5th series.

Perhaps a previous reviewer is right and they do test Joey's stupidity a little, but Matt LeBlanc just about makes it work.

Lovely to see David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston's chemistry on show a little more here too.

Overall the 5th series handled a lot of things well, especially the Monica/Chandler storyline, the arc of which took up much of the 5th year. I don't mind this, having had 4 of Ross/Rachel's love story a break was needed for the show to survive.

Joey and Phoebe didn't have loads to do at times, and the less said about Danny and Gary the better. Dud plotlines both.

Partying In Vegas

[vivianla · 19 December 2020]

Rachel and Ross arrive in Vegas and Rachel wears a green cardigan and skinny pants. She has a moustache doodle on her face. Later Ross calls the company and it is permanent.

Monica keeps winning with rolling dice. Chandler and her decide to get married if Monica rolls an 8. One of the dice could be a 4 or 5 and they both decide it is 4. Monica wants to find something blue so they go to the gift shop and steal a blue Caesar's Palace sweater.

They go to a little chapel and see Ross and Rachel come in, drunk with doodles on their face. Monica wears the stolen sweater.
