  • Joey's new roommate.

    There was only one thing missing, in the episode before. Everyone was set except for Joey. The Janine arc begins, as Joey's new roommate. Turns out Chandler & Ross are girl repellants, and it seemed to work when Joey tried to be like them. Chandler cleaning the apartment now that he moved in was sort of funny, another step in the Chandler & Monica relationship. I think this episode was trying to get the audience used to the new setting. Like the problem with Phoebe running like a kid, and Rachel having to deal with that, as roommates. So just put everything in it's place in my opinion,moreless

    Good episode but why would Phoebe want to run like that. It would be annoying and everyone would be looking at you! I don't think it would feel more free and you would just take up more energy. I don't think Monica would care if Chandler cleaned the apartment because it was fine before. Monica had like everything so perect and it needs to be that way but she didn't get mad at Chandler, must be because they are boyfriend and girlfriend.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Goof: Starting in this episode, the white dog is out on the balcony, since Monica obviously didn't want it in the apartment. Since the statue is too big to fit through the window, how did they get it out there? Edit
    • Goof: When Rachel runs into the horse, the horse turns and looks at her. But when the camera angle changes and Rachel stands up, the horse is still looking straight ahead. Edit
    • Goof: Chandler is home alone cleaning when Ross comes over. After a little while, Chandler calls Monica, but doesn't say a word about Ross. At the end of their conversation, Monica asks Chandler if he is just hanging out with Ross. How did she know he was there? Edit

    • Ross: (About Chandler cleaning the apartment) Look, Chandler, Monica is really weird about this kind of stuff. Believe me, I lived with her for sixteen years. She is going to freak out. Oh my God, she's going to sit on you. Edit
    • Rachel: Pheebs, Monica tripped me, I don't think I can ever run again, ever! Phoebe: Why? Why would you do that? Monica: I don't know. Rachel I'm, I'm sorry that I hurt your ankles. Rachel: Ankle. Monica: We'll see. Edit
    • Ross: Uh, they don't like it when you correct their grammar. Chandler: And they don't like it when you explain why your jokes are funny. Ross: They don't like it when you keep asking them if they like you. Chandler: Man, I'm so lucky I have Monica. Ross: I'm never gonna find love again. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Chandler: You walked up to that girl you liked and you could not stop talking about the Irish Potato Famine. The Irish Potato Famine occured between 1845 and 1851. In Ireland, it was called the Great Hunger. The Irish relied heavily on potatoes as a food source. During the famine, there was an outbreak of potato blight, a fungus that made potatoes rot and become inedible. Thousands of people died from starvation. There were also fever epidemics because starvation makes peoples' immune systems more vulnerable to disease. Thousands more people fled the country and emigrated to places like England, the United States and Canada. Edit
    • Rachel: You guys, I'm telling you, when she runs, she looks like a cross between Kermit the Frog and the Six Million Dollar Man. Ross: Monica had such a crush on him. She used to kiss his poster every night before she went to bed. Rachel: I used to do that, too! Monica: Did you also have his album "It's Not Easy Being Green?" Rachel: (Realizing she was referring to Kermit the Frog) Oh, Mon! Monica: So, Phoebe runs weird, huh? Kermit the Frog is a famous character from Jim Henson's The Muppet Show. "It's Not Easy Being Green" is a song that Kermit sings on the show. The Six Million Dollar Man is a TV show from the 1970s starring Lee Majors. After an accident astronaut Steve Austin, played by Lee Majors, has an operation that costs 6 million dollars, making him the world's first Bionic man. After the operation he is very strong, can run really fast etc. (However, it looks very funny when he runs.) Edit
