    So this episode was just fun to watch. Ross, I think was just sick. But it was funny at the same time. Poor cousin, had to move out of Chandler's, and then Ross's apartment, because both of them were staring at her. I just can't believe Ross considered kissing his cousin. I like the end, whenthe cousin stays with Phoebe. And Phoebe starts watching her in slo-motion. Hysterical. Didn't see that one coming. Rachel & Phoebe plannign a shower for Monica was fun to watch since it was last minute. Monica putting cold cuts on Joey's thing to make it look uncircumsized, was great to watch too. Especially when it fell off! Hilarious episode.moreless

    This episode is a one of a kind. This episode is by far one of the funniest Friends episodes I've ever seen and one of the best episodes of the series entirely. The real funny part when Denise Richards let her hair out and when Chandler and Ross saw her their mouths dropped but that's Ross's cousin so that's even funnier. I would have liked to see when Joey saw here. We all know Joey is that kind of guy so how would that turn out? That's the only thing that this episode was missing but overall great episode that I would like to watch over and over again. A true series classic.moreless

    In "The One With Ross and Monica's Cousin", their cousin, Cassie (played by Denise Richards) comes to visit and plans to stay with Monica and Chandler. Unfortunately, she has to move to Ross' apartment because Chandler can't stop staring at her. When she gets there, Ross is shocked by how hot she is and has to keep reminding himself that they're related. Eventually, though, his willpower breaks and he tries to kiss her. She then goes to stay with Phoebe, who is also smmitten with her. Meanwhile, Joey auditions for a movie where he has to appear naked. The problem, however, is that the role calls for an uncircumcised man, which Joey is not. Monica attempts to help him by creating little "gloves" (for lack of a better word) that Joey can wear. Their plan fails when it falls off in front of the director. Phoebe and Rachel, in the meantime, plan Monica's bridal shower at the last minute and forget to invite her.moreless

    • Goof: When Monica takes the sheets out of the basket and the camera cuts to Ross, a thick stack of papers can be seen in between the sheets. Edit
    • Goof: In the beginning of the episode when Monica is folding laundry and talking to Phoebe about the wedding, a boom mic is visible at the top left of the screen for a few seconds. Edit
    • Goof: In the beginning of this episode, Monica asked Phoebe to help her make up the guest room for her cousin, Cassie, who was coming to visit for a few days. It seems odd that Phoebe and Rachel did not invite Cassie to Monica's bridal shower, since they knew she was in town to visit Monica. Edit

    • The sub-plot where Joey auditions for the role of an uncircumcised man was originally intended for "The One with Barry and Mindy's Wedding". The story was changed on the advice of network censors, who thought it was tasteless. It was used five years later in this episode. Edit
