Write a Recap »Bobbie is having her insurance physical because she is turning 40 and one of Joey's old girlfriends threatens to release an old sex tape. hide show
I just have to mention the sex tape we get to see. Joey looks awesome in the 80's, the right hair and everything! And Bobbie says she had plans to celebrate her 40th birthday alone, but we know by now she's a little sneaky.
I love Alex, she is the best character in Joey! In this episode Bobbie mistakes Alex for a guy, Jim Thompson. Oh, just have to see it to get it. Alex also has a crush on Dein Cain, superman in Lois&Clark.
And Joey always has a way to get himself out of dilemmas. Whenever he gets into trouble it all works out better than it ever could have in real life. He's one lucky guy!
In this episode, Joey is blakmailed by an ex-girlfriend, who threatens to show an old sex tape unless he apologizes to her during her interview in Ellen's show. Meanwhile, Alex and Gina discover that Bobby is turning 40 in two days, and she hasn't told an hide show
I don't know why this episode is getting such good ratings. For me, altogether with "Joey and the House", it's one of the silliest episodes of the show so far. First of all, Joey's 80's character is completely ridiculous, exagerated, and the "weird" hairs don't work for me, at least they don't if they are not helped by anything funny.
Second of all, the action is slow, the plot is uninspired, it doesn't add anything to any of the characters and the secondary story (that one with Bobby celebrating her 40th birthday) is just as silly as the main one.
Just an example of what this episode offers: at the beginning of the episode, Joey is thinking about how he will enter Ellen's plateau. When he finally has to do it, he just falls down to the floor. Well, that's a good joke... if you are 5 years old or younger, I mean!
How far would you go to stop somebody from embrassing you? hide show
In season #1, Joey went on Jay Leno\'s talk show, and now in season #2 he goes on Ellen DeGeneres\' talk show. So if it lives to see season #3, who\'s talk show will he go on, so far it has been talk shows on NBC, so that really leaves Conan O\'Brein and Tony Danza\'s left. In Joey and the Sex Tape, Joey (Matt LeBlanc) is scheduled to appear on Ellen DeGeneres\' talk show, and then his agent Bobbie (Jennifer Coolidge) recives a package, containting a tape, and gaves it to Joey. It is a sex tape from the 80\'s between Joey and an old girlfriend, he asks her to marry him, and then leaves her. Thing is, looks like Joey has gotten over it, but not his old girlfriend, and now sdhe is thearning to release it, he shows the tape to Gina (Drea de Matteo), Alex (Andrea Anders) Michael (Paulo Costanzo), and his best friend Zach (Miguel A. Núñez Jr), so he agrees to see her, which he does. She tells him the only way she will not release the tape, if he apozolies to her on Ellen DeGeneres\' talk show, so also her family & friends can see it as well. Joey asks Zach to go with him to Ellen DeGeneres\' talk show, but then he tells him, that he used to be on Ellen\'s show, he had some lines, he just coudln\'t say, and that is what begin the rivalery (supposed) between them.
Well, it's about time the old Joey past comes back to haunt him. hide show
Having read that this will 'most likely' be Joey's last season, I'm not going to bash it at all. (Not that I usually do, or that I had even planned to.) But apparently just airing the show would be cheaper than cancelling it.
Anyways, it was fun to see Joey at his old ways. Trying to recover from an ex coming back into his life. This time she's come with a threat with a sex tape in which he tells her he loves her, and wants to marry just to get in bed with her. And then, he ditches her.
So, in order to please her so she won't release this possibly career ruining tape, he goes on the Ellen show to apologize. Only Ellen wants details, and the audience enjoy the story step-by-step that the story becomes a bunch of punch lines. I mean sure he ends up hooking up with her later, but that's not the moral of the story.
Of course, I care not of the morals, just the quality entertainment.
It was "awesome" man.. This episode was "awesome".. but where's Michael? hide show
This is what makes me happy.. I really feel that the show is getting better and better.. The storylines are getting more complex.. The only thing that sucked is that Michael was only in one scene? We needed more especially after last episode's ending, we need to see him living the bachelor life.. Can't wait for next week's ep..
