@@alessandromartina644that the initial plan. Phoebe and Joey, that's why u see signs of them in the initial seasons along with Ross-Rachel and Chandler-Monica. But both Lisa Kudrow and Matt thought it was a bad idea to pair all the friends in the group with each other, so they changed directions. Phoebe got a man outside the group and Joey stayed single, and moved on. Joey has a sequel called Joey which is fun
@@Furrina89 I'm honestly glad they did. While Joey and Phoebe have great chemistry, it was honestly kind of nice that they could also just be friends without having to be more (though Phoebe was certainly open to doing it with Joey if the opportunity ever presented itself, as were most of the girls at some point or another.) It also gave them more options for exploring different storylines and paths for each character, such as Phoebe and Mike and Joey and Rachel (even if things didn't work out there.)
He STILL looks the same just slightly aged 20 years after this! And this episode was filmed a decade after he had been in Hollywood. Paul Rudd genes don't age. Edit: I just googled him, and he said this in an article regarding the end of Friends: So Jennifer and Marta Kauffman, the writer, they were hugging and crying, and I would just go over and join the embrace and say, 'Guys, what a ride,'" Rudd said. His joke bombed probably because they were so sad but it's so funny..
Joey : Reason that Chandler and Monica get together , Reason for Ross and Rachel's daughter Emma and Reason for Phoebe and his true love Mike , and yet they gave to him an bad storyline with Joey and Rachel's arc and a bad ending , he deserved way better
Agreed to be honest i am 90% same as Joey in real life foody and moody and with everything he has done also acted in a couple of music video and a film which didnt released, and i am also still very good with gals better than all my friends yet i am still unmarried and not in a serious relationship. and broke
I love how casual that was for Joey to pair up Phoebe with Mike. He just walks in to the coffee shop, shout out MIKE. A few seconds later a good looking fella named Mike responded. Joey observed him from afar, he was hmm ok he’ll do, and viola Phoebe and Mike’s love story began. Not in the best circumstances but Joey did have a lot to do with it. For that I call him Cupid. Think about it he always been some sort of a matchmaker in the show. He always wanted Ross and Rachel to be together. He was a huge part when Chandler and Monica started dating and now with Phoebe and Mike. Sad that he was the only one who didn’t end up with no one. He had to watch all his besties fall in love and yet he was always so happy for them. That’s a true friend right, Go Joey🧡
Joey was lucky he said a really common name like Mike. If Joey had made up the name like Nolan or Carlos there would be a lot less likely chance of someone with that name at the coffee shop.
I think it was around season 4, she went from having soft cute features, to a sharp angular face. It kinda mirrored her character's change from rather meek to aggressively confrontational.
You can do that at house parties, too. Just walk in. Everybody will assume somebody else invited you. If anybody asks, just say, "Mike invited me." Everybody knows a Mike.
@@hsd287 Mike will just assume it was the other Mike who invited you. The only snag to my brilliant plan is if both Mike's talk to each other about you, but that's unlikely to happen.
It’s funny when I saw Paul Rudd in this clip. It reminded me when he was on the Graham Norton show and he actually demonstrated by kissing Dame Helen Mirren because he was showing how he had to kiss Jack Nicholson several times in a film they had previously both starred in.
The fact that Mike was willing to give it a try, is also something Phoebe could do, so before we even see them together, it's shows they are compatible, which I love
Why did they have to show Rachel having to get a Doctor? It was not needed for the mike/joey scenario. Is it monetization thing or was it easier edit? Just really curious.
Imagine just sitting on your own at a coffee house and minding your own business. Some random guy you've never met before, maybe seen on TV, wanders in and shouts your name, and then introduces you to the woman you go on to marry
I have always wondered why the Monica character changed so drastically. The original Monica was my favorite on the show. Then one season (not sure which one) she changed completely. County Cox's voice even sounded different. The new Monica was just really annoying.
I don’t remember Mary Ellen from the series. Was this the only episode? Isn’t that actress Michelle Pfeiffer’s sister? She was also in that episode of Seinfeld, when Costanza figures out that doing the opposite of what he thinks works in his favor, and she’s the lady in the diner.
This is the time when phoebe is not that funny anymore, because she basically grew up, and found her way to the real world. Terrible idea if you ask me 😐.
Mike is kinda mix of Joey's dumbness,Rosses iq and Chandler's sarcams,so practically only men that Phoebe have around for longer period of her life. I guess thats reason why she settled with him.
Kudrow always had to wear dresses and skirts almost reaching her ancles. We almost ever saw her in sexy clothes. Considering how free and flirty her role was this doesn't match the character and I'm sure this decision was made to make Monica and especially Rachel look better.
Love how Joey checked him out first before deciding to set him up with Phoebe
Good observation. 😂😂
I hate that of all women Joey has been this one will be the one who doesnt go with him
He was like ...sure, Phoebe can work with this😂😂

I like how joey was more concerned about making things right for Phoebe rather than his own date
The fact Joey is one that found Phoebe Soulmate and randomly by just yelling for someone name mike 😂
That 'fact' was invented by a writer!
@@hensonlaura Silly take
Honestly makes sense for Phoebe
@@tlahmed Yeah, definitely pretty fitting for her
I liked David better lol
"Mike! "
"Yeah? "
That was amazing. I never saw that before.
Paul Rudd....this man has incredible youthful genes. He still looks the same today as he did here some 20+ years ago.
He has always been so handsome
@@TheStepmonkey For sure! He was indeed ADORABLE in Clueless!
im really out here crushing on paul rudd in three different decades

He was already over 30 at this point he had worked in movies with Jen Aniston ❤
Surely it's been over 10 years since I last watched this scene, but as soon as he said "play piano" I saw before my eyes the air piano. Iconic!
Hah! Me too!
Same!!!!
To be fair if I was in Joey’s position, I’d go into cafes and shops and keep shouting “MIKE” until someone responds 😂
That sounds like fun I'm going to go do that. I will tell you how it ends up
At least he chose a really common name for him. If Joey started yelling out Sebastian or something like that he might not have gotten a response.
Well it's possible ur Mike or Mikes wouldn't be that sexy 😂
Joey : Reason that Chandler and Monica get together , Reason for Ross and Rachel's daughter Emma and Reason for Phoebe and his true love Mike , and yet they gave to him an bad storyline with Joey and Rachel's arc and a bad ending , he deserved way better
Life isn’t perfect. Bad endings for characters are unfortunate to see but they are realistic y’know
I guess they didn't give Joey a perfect ending becuz they were hoping to continue his story in that spinoff show with Joey.
what spinoff?@@justsaiyan3294

@@PanjshirAfg Joey is very good at getting girls . . . fhat's not a coveted quality for a prospective groom
_"...but she's not opposed to threesomes."_
Joey had the answer right there! 🤣
The amount of times Rachel’s hair changed at the start of the clip is almost as funny as the rest lol
Yes, pretty poor editing
Little did they know, that Mike gave up his job as lawyer because he wants to be superhero & later joins the Avenger.
Sssshussssshhhh
Trueee
He gave up his job as a lawyer because he does not want to be in she-hulk
😂
So cool, thx to joeys forgetfulness
Phoebe actually found the true love of his life (Mike's awesome)

@@joemckim1183 if Joey came up with "Vikrum" like Ross did, he would even have lesser chance 🤣
It’s actually VOILA , not viola… you don’t want to know what viola means…
Cupid rhymes with stupid. Not to hate or rag on Joey but we know how he can be.......😏
It's Mike... Mike man, I mean ant man 😂😂
Courtney Cox taking about Botox irony 💀💀
I was looking for this comment
😂😂
@@CrazyIshan69 it's not funny. it's very sad. She used to be so beautiful 😥
@@MrGenexxx True, and she did regret it later. Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have laughed at that.

The way Mike looks at Joey like hes so thick when he said all you have to do is pretend to be Mike 😂
It's funny hearing Monica talk about botched botox 😂
The look on Chandler's face after he realizes what he said 😂
Fun fact: the actress playing Phoebe's friend is Michelle Pfeiffer's sister.
Wot???!!! Well, she doesn't have the looks... but makes up for it!!!
'Play the piano' is code for joining the avengers
We see what he did there😌
Mary Ellen has the iconic “I’m Victoria, hi!”line in Seinfeld
'MIKE!'
'yeah?'
'🤨 Okay'
😂
Classic Joey 🤣
-Mike, how many sisters does Joey have?
- 🤞
You can do that at house parties, too. Just walk in. Everybody will assume somebody else invited you. If anybody asks, just say, "Mike invited me." Everybody knows a Mike.
The only Mike I've ever known is Mike Wazowski 🤣
Well better pray there is a Mike there that wouldn't know that he "invited" u unless u want to be kicked at an extremity 💀
@@hsd287 Mike will just assume it was the other Mike who invited you. The only snag to my brilliant plan is if both Mike's talk to each other about you, but that's unlikely to happen.

Mary Ellen Jenkins, the actress playing her, IS in real life actress Michelle Pfeiffer’s little sister, Dedee Pfeiffer.
The fact that Mike was willing to give it a try, is also something Phoebe could do, so before we even see them together, it's shows they are compatible, which I love
Just because Monica was a bigger girl Ross thought she was gonna eat him. Lmao 🤣
0:23 “I can’t tell you how I know this, but she’s not opposed to threesomes”
Everyone got a happy ending except Joey… not fair.
The dinner scene shows how great actor Matt le Blanc is... and how bad actor Joey is 😅
1:22-1:24 Chandler's expression is cute. 😂😂😂
Wait what? That's how they met Mike? 😂😂😂
Well yeah he was written into the show that way and not only that they brought back David to make everything worse
never gets old 🙂
I never would have guessed that out of all these beautiful cast members, the best looking person years later would be Paul Rudd.
That’s the same necklace Rachel wears when Will comes over for thanksgiving.
The laughter of the studio audience on this show really let's us know what is funny and what isn't.
That practice has fallen out of favor recently, home audiences know what to laugh at.
To be fair, whenever Chandler goes to a professional for something (Joey’s Taylor), it seems to happen. 😂
It's because he has a quality
@@radhiadeedou8286 who has quality?
@@Ben8484 Chandler.
You nailed it! Another awesome video from my favorite RUclipsr.
Dedee Pfeiffer the sister of Michelle Pfeiffer plays Mary Ellen in this scene.
Yep the one in rehab
Just realised I've seen Rachel wear the necklace Phoebe is wearing here in the episode with Brad Pitt guest starring.
This Ant man never aged
I aspire to develop the same problem solving skills that joey demonstrated
I like Joey`s "italian" Oukay.
Funny how Monica’s making fun of women with botox when the actress now is full of it 😂
Yeah she let a surgeon butcher her once beautiful face.
Wow. I was today years old when I found out how Phoebe and Mike met. 😶🙃❤
So u never saw this episode 😂
Let's get YOU a cocktail!

Well not that easy Phoebe had history with David and Mike was against marriage also quite the rollercoaster
That widdle Rudd baby face…!
1:41 how ironic for Courtney cox of all people to say
Honestly it's purely luck if Paul Rudd ends up in a cafe as a random guy Phoebe had 100% luck ❤❤❤
MIKE!…… Yeah? Okay.
I have always wondered why the Monica character changed so drastically. The original Monica was my favorite on the show. Then one season (not sure which one) she changed completely. County Cox's voice even sounded different. The new Monica was just really annoying.
Paul Rudd must have time travelled because he looks the same now as then.
Yep one beautiful aged man ❤
Joey And Phoebe
The BEST couple that was never to be finally be
Mike/ phoebe do make a great couple I'd like to see their biological children and grandchildren later on future tv series?
This was *NUTS* 🥜 from chandler @ 1:19 🫢😅😆
"Well you see, there was this boy in a wheelchair and he was rolling down a hill..."
Joey is the best
Which episode is this?
Such irony in retrospect re. Courtney Cox mentioning “botched Botox” @1:40
1:38 Courtney Cox would know about that 😬
The same necklace Rachel wore for the Thanksgiving dinner with will
The irony of Monica talking about botched botox... has she seen her actress recently?
Courtney making fun of botched botox? Ironic
I don’t remember Mary Ellen from the series. Was this the only episode? Isn’t that actress Michelle Pfeiffer’s sister?
She was also in that episode of Seinfeld, when Costanza figures out that doing the opposite of what he thinks works in his favor, and she’s the lady in the diner.
Yes she's the girl who goes into rehab afterwards 😂
They literally could have just told the truth said “we met at the coffeehouse”
Joey and Dean Winchester look quite alike❤
I don't see it. 🤔
Love the scene but how did Rachel's hair change.
1:24 to 1:32
Phoebe married Ant Man in this alternate universe lol
3:19 Little did they know why Mike left being a lawyer because the real reason is that he never went to Harvard
They don’t make shows like this anymore :(
Isn't it fate that Joey actually said Mike?!
Wow! Monica is talking about BOTCHED BOTOX.
What a real life irony 😊
I wouldn't mind hiring Ross to do some karate on those doctor's Rachel and Chandler were describing. Christ.
Joey doing a Mike check
Does Joey really need an SO. I think he'd be great as a forever bachelor
Courtney Cox making fun of botox is laughable lmao
Monica makes Rachel make a New Years promise to quit gossiping one year, and she is telling of bad Botox here herself!
Kind of freaky thay Paul Rudd was mostly unknown here yet now is more famous than all the Friends combined
He was well known. They advertised the fact that he was guest staring in the promos for this episode.
1:40 That “botched Botox” line hurt.
Not even laughing at her. Just really unfortunate.
how is paul rudd hot in every decade?
He's still middle aged so obviously his old content is from his youth he was sexy since youth and maintained that

Couples are boring, let's face it
Phoebe got to date Ant man
Phoebe got to marry Ant Man
Two legends.
I'm sorry, what was Rachel talking about???

Too much botox. And now Courtney Cox has that botox action going on. What a shame.
Damn mind, I always thought Ross found out Mike
This is why Antman is my Favourite super Hero
