The One with Joey's Bag
14 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The good thing about this episode is Phoebe's grandmother's funeral. There are so many fun ideas around it. How Ursula thought that grandma has been dead for five years now and didn't want to go to the funeral because she already made her peace with the death. And the 3D glasses at the funeral, that was crazy! And of course the fact that we get to meet Phoebe's father. Their conversation at the end is both funny and moving, very well done

Besides this, the episode sucks. The story with Joey's bag is just irritating. Except for the "unisex" part I saw nothing funny about it. Wait, I should laugh at some homophobic jokes and the fact that they are so close minded that they can't see a man wear a bag? They even convince Joey at the end to give up his bag that he likes just because of the close minded society. Yeah, thats the way to act

The massage story is bad as well. And the conversation that Chandler and Monica had at the end was very badly done. I am not sure if Courtney Cox was acting bad or it was just the fact that the scene was so badly written. I have a feeling that it is a combination of both
