David Schwimmer's finest performance, and not just comedically. He is excellent in the final scene with Joey too.

one of the funniest episodes of the series

I own all 10 seasons of FRIENDS, and I'll admit, I've probably watched them more than I should, but by far, THIS is honestly one of the funniest episodes of FRIENDS. David Schwimmer plays drunk SOO well in this episode. He is so incredibly funny, and so are Jennifer Aniston, Matt Leblanc and Aisha Tyler, who share the scenes with him. But even more, the second story with Courteney Cox-Arquette and Matthew Perry is just as funny when Chandler lets it slip that the son of the friends of Phoebe's is adopted. Furthermore, when he lets the triplets know that it was Phoebe who gave birth to them, he follows it up with one of the funniest lines of the episode. "I'm going to go tell Emma she was an accident." It's just such another reason to call the writers of FRIENDS some of the best. They can come up with original comedy, even after 10 years! Every episode, no matter how many times I've seen them, I laugh as if it's my first time. Even if you've never ever watched FRIENDS before, watch this episode. You'll laugh so hard. 10 out of 10, definitely.
The One Where Ross Is Fine
ComedyFan201012 September 2011

This is a great episode. David Schwimmer makes a brilliant performance as Ross. It was very funny and yet I was really feeling for him. It has also so many funny moments, how he doesn't use oven mitts, how he keeps on saying that he is fine and also imagining him taking his clothes off while dancing to the soundtrack of Chicago was pretty great!
And the scene between him and Joey at the end was very sweet
The whole story of Monica and Chandler exploring the adoption was pretty funny. I liked how Chandler told the kid that he was adopted and that there is no Santa. And after all that he managed to tell the triplets that their aunt gave birth to them!

Literally one of THE BEST episodes! I quote Ross's "I'm fine" line all the time. Drunk Ross is amazing. "MY FAJITAS!" No one likes Joey and Rachel together of course but this episode somehow makes it work. The only thing that bothers me are the parents who didn't tell their kids he's adopted 🙄 I know they're fic characters but ugh.
Ross sees Joey kissing Rachel!

Ross sees Rachel and Joey kissing each other and immediately freezes,while they both try to explain themselves to him. After recovering his senses, Ross stays angry with the situation, but he acts as if he was totally happy with it, inviting Joey and Rachel to have dinner with him and Charlie. (Ross acts in a very bizarre way)
Phoebe receives Frank Jr, her brother, in Central Perk. He tells her that he is working a lot and almost doesn't have time available, since his kids make him occupied the whole day. He also tells Phoebe that sometimes he wishes to have 2 kids instead of 3, and he asks her if she wants to take one to take care.
Monica and Chandler are trying to adopt a kid, but they are full of doubts about the different ways to adopt. Phoebe tells them to talk to Bill and Colleen, their friends who adopted a boy named Owen. Once they arrive in Bill's and Colleen's house, Chandler ruins everything telling Owen that he is adopted. (Owen didn't know!)

One of the worst episodes

This may be the lowest rating I gave an episode of friends.
I've given a lot of 6's...5's...not top many 4's I don't think.
I haven't rated every episode of Friends yet...but I can't recall any others being a 3.
It isn't just that I didn't laugh.
Just not laughing usually results in a 5.
I disliked this episode so much I had to go lower than 5.
I wanted to like drunk Ross...I just don't think they got it right.
All 3 story lines fell flat.
Drunk ross...Monica/Chandler adoption...Phoebe/Frank triplets.
Strikeout 1. Strikeout 2. THEY STRUCK OUT THE SIDE ON A CALLED NO LOOK STRIKE 3!

This episode features a fantastic performance from David Schwimmer as Ross, and he completely steals the show here, as Ross has a mini breakdown over the fact that Rachel and Joey are dating. Jennifer Aniston and Matt LeBlanc are merely passengers as Schwimmer is on such amazing form.
Yes, there are other stories here, but they're largely forgettable. Although it was nice to see Giovanni Ribsi back as Frank Jr the story didn't really go anywhere, and the Monica/Chandler story wasn't that special either.
Another good episode overall though.

The One Where Frank Jr. Wants To Give One Of His Kids To Phoebe...

Warning: Spoilers
I like this episode. Not the Ross and Rachel parts, but the Frank Jr. and Phoebe parts.
In this episode, Ross has a dinner party with Charlie, Rachel and Joey. it's awkward and he gets drunk. Smart movie, dumb ass. Meanwhile, Frank Jr. visits Phoebe and asks her to take one of his triplets. But he can't decide which one. So of course, he decides to keep them all. He was just tired and strung out. Also, Chandler and Monica visit one of Phoebe's friends, who had adopted a child. And since the kid looks like he's twelve, Chandler assumes he knew he was adopted, and blurts it out. The kid gets very upset and they are asked to leave. Come on, guys. It's not his fault. Tell your kid the truth.
Overall, I give this episode a 7 out of 10.
