    Not the greatest episode of Friends. First of all it went by really fast. Most of the episode was taken up by the guest star's singing. Everything else was good. Monica being like Ross' mother and getting him through a shot. Chandler & Joey losing Ben on a bus but get him back pretending to be together. Why was Rachel looking at the singer like she was about to cry? I don't know. But the Rachel & Phoebe moment was really great! So in my opinion, not so great. Not even that funny. So much of a filler. Otherwise other plots were good.moreless

    When Ross has an allergic reaction to Monica's kiwi-lime pie, Chandler and Joey are asked to baby-sit Ross' son, Ben. They use Ben to help them try to pick up girls. They leave him accidentally on the bus, they later find him, but they are not sure the baby is really Ben as there are two similar babies in the room. Phoebe loses her Central Perk singing gig to a professional singer (Chrissie Hynde), and she becomes a street singer in front of the caf. Great storyline, I love the start where the baby, Ben only cries around Monica but nobody else - I found it very funny/ I have to say I love Chandler Bing. I love this episode - the boys meaning Joey adn Chandler are at there best, the lose the baby and it's just so funny, also Rachel has to tell Phoebe she can't sing in the Coffee House anymore meaning that there is somebody better than her - but that all gets sorted out by the end of the episode.moreless

    When Ross has an allergic reaction to Monica's kiwi-lime pie, Chandler and Joey are asked to baby-sit Ross's son Ben. They use Ben to help them try and pick up girls. Phoebe loses her Central Perk singing gig to a professional singer. Now this is where it gets really good. Chandler and Joey are at there best here every scene with them made me laugh. "Stay back I got Kiwi, run joey run" was a really memorable moment. Phoebe's songs where really funny too. The part where Monica throws the basketball out the window was good also. 9.5 out of 10.moreless

    I love this episode!

    The main story is that Ross gets an allergic reaction from some Kiwi Pie that Monica made but is looking after Ben. He needs to go to the hospital though, and so entrusts Joey and Chandler to look after Ben while he goes to get treatment.... Joey and Chandler decide to use Ben as a babe magnet and end up getting on a bus with some women, only to then get off the bus and leave Ben on it!!!

    When they go to pick Ben up they can't decide which Baby is Ben so decide to flip for it:

    Joey: Uh... uh, we'll flip for it. Ducks or clowns?
    Chandler: Oh, we're gonna flip for the baby?
    Joey: You got a better idea? Chandler: All right, call it in the air.
    Joey: Heads.
    Chandler: Heads it is.
    Joey: Yes! Whew!
    Chandler: We have to assign heads to something.
    Joey: Right. Okay, okay, uh... ducks is heads, because ducks have heads.
    Chandler: What kind of scary-*** clowns came to your birthday? Only when they get home do they realise they have the right baby when he starts to cry around Monica like before!

    Overall a great funny episode!moreless
