The One Where Paul's the Man

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 19 August 2011]

The story about Ross and Paul doesn't get worse in this episode. Both Elizabeth/Ross and Paul/Rachel come to the cottage outside the city. And this brings us lots of funny scenes. The one when Rachel sees Ross under the couch is great. And also when Paul gets into his bedroom where Ross is hiding and Ross quietly gets under the couch I couldn't stop laughing. Paul's "I am the man" act that also finally got Ross the permission to date Elizabeth was a great idea as well

I also really liked the story about how Joey wanted his picture on the wall in dry cleaners. The fact that it mattered so much to him is already funny. And Ilia Volok who plays the dry cleaner is actually Russian, his language was perfect. Which is a good thing, I like it when they hire people to play someone from their nationality instead of actors who can't really pronounce anything in that language

The whole idea about Chandler being freaked out by the message was pretty good. Especially since it is surprising at the end that he wants to propose to Monica!

Schwimmer was legendary

I loved all the storylines in this episode but David's acting really stood out

The One Where Paul's the Man

[studioAT · 6/10 · 26 June 2021]

'Friends' didn't venture into the genre of farce to often, but we get an example of that here.

Bruce Willis is on top form, guesting again, reminding everyone what a gifted comic performer he is.

The Joey subplot was slight but fun, while the Monica/Chandler story is obviously moving us forward towards the end of series finale.

Ross and Elizabeth will travel together..

[Lady_Targaryen · 7/10 · 9 June 2009]

Paul,Elizabeth's father,still doesn't like Ross and is against their relationship, even blackmailing him saying that if they don't end their relationship, he is going to denounce Ross to the University. Ross and Elizabeth, however, decide to keep their relationship in secret.

Ross is excited that he is going to travel with Elizabeth into her grandma's country house. Arriving there, they both cannot wait to have sex, but Ross forgets to bring condoms and Elizabeth go to the drugstore to buy, letting Ross alone in the house. While Ross is waiting Elizabeth, Rachel and Paul arrive in the house, since they had the same plans of having sex and staying some days in the house. Ross tries to hide from them, but Rachel discovers him and tries to help him to scape from the house without Paul know that he is there.

Joey goes to a Laundry that has the practice of setting pictures from the stars on the walls, to give his picture, but since his TV show still was not aired, the Laundry's owner tells him that he is not going to put his picture. Joey ends up going out with the Laudry's owner wife, and gets his picture on the wall in a pretty easy way.

Rachel,Phoebe and Monica go together to a Museum, using Phoebe's tickets that she won. Once there, they discover that it is possible to marry in the place, but they need to wait 2 years for that. Monica is convinced to put her name on the list, but when they call to Monica's house to notify her about the wedding details she gave, Chandler listens to the message and disappears.

Country House and Engagement Museum

[vivianla · 22 December 2020]

Phoebe has three tickets to a museum with lesbian art and other things.

Ross and Elizabeth go to the country house and Elizabeth asks if he has protection. She says she will go run out to buy some and Ross says he should because he is the guy.
