Friends (TV Series) The One with Phoebe's Uterus (1998) User Reviews

Good episode

[okraievskyi · 7/10 · 2 January 2022]

This was a pretty good episode. The best storyline was with Joey and Ross. I mean, those two rarely get the storyline about the two of them, instead of Chandler and Joey, so this felt like a fresh storyline, like something that wasn't done yet. Also, every scene was SO funny, like the scene where Joey guides the children through the museum or the final scene of the storyline!

The storyline with Phoebe was okay. I liked the idea and I'm REALLY interested about how this will turn out. However, I don't really agree with Phoebe's decision. Having a baby is way better than making someone plased giving the baby to them, even if it's your own brother. On the other hand, this has potential and I can't wait to see how this will turn out.

Can Phoebe Senior be more annoying??

[NatashaJAmos2015 · 7/10 · 14 August 2021]

I'm so glad this was the last time we see her. She didn't contact her daughter all these years and now she's suddenly giving Phoebe advice about not keeping a baby? She had no right to do that.

The One with Phoebe's Uterus

[ComedyFan2010 · 10/10 · 25 July 2011]

This is anther one of the brilliant episodes. Pretty much everything in it is absolutely great done

The main story is one of the best. It is very original and fun how Phoebe agrees to carry her brother's child and promises a lot of great stories connected to it in the future. Finally Phoebe got such a story. She is a character with a lot of potential. She is very sweet, fun, clever, original, outgoing and not held down by social rules. So when they come up with such an outrageous idea it is meant to be a winner

Monica and Rachel teaching Chandler how to be great at sex is an awesome story too. I wish I could see Monica's drawing, maybe I could learn something,lol

Ross's and Joey story was also great. The part where everyone takes off the coat and says something about himself almost makes me cry from laughing

SEVEN!!!

[ashleyhay · 10/10 · 10 September 2019]

My absolute most favorite episode of all time! I still laugh at this one no matter how many times I see it. How Courtney Cox did not earn an Emmy on this one alone still baffles me.

I like Phoebe

[smpl24 · 17 October 2006]

First of all, I don't really agree with the girl who left the previous comment! Well, yeah, the character of Phoebe can be annoying, rude, even sometimes stupid; but she happens to be the integral part of the show exactly because of that! She amuses the audience with her behaviour - that's her job! In one episode Rachel says that she thinks Phoebe would probably be the first to leave the group, and she's right! Phoebe isn't normal, and they are all aware of it, but why wouldn't they want to be her friend? I think that in the first season she said something like this: "There are tree things you should know about me: my friends are the most important thing in my life, I never lie, and I make the best '...' cookies in the world!" Becides, she is funny, and interesting, and even though she can sometimes be annoying and rude and stupid, I love her, and I also love Lisa Kudrow who did the part perfectly... And about the episode, I thought it was fairly good...

The One With Equal Lunch

[devashishparnami · 10/10 · 5 November 2018]

Phoebe's brother Frank and Alice got married. They were trying to get pregnant but it didn't work out. They ask Phoebe if she could bear their baby. Joey gets a job as a tour guide at Ross' museum. The friends want Phoebe to think it through before she makes the decisions about having Frank's and Alice's child. Things are going really well for Kathy and Chandler but they haven't had sex because Chandler is afraid he won't be able to fill Joey's shoes. Joey is a terrible tour guide. Phoebe goes to see her mother to ask whether she should have the baby or not. Her mother tells her not to do it because she knows how hard it is to give up a baby. Joey realizes that he can't be friends with Ross at work because tour guides and scientists don't mix. Chandler sleeps with Kathy but it wasn't great and he asks Rachel and Monica for advice on good sex. Ross proves his friendship to Joey by having lunch with him at work. Ross and Joey set a good example and all the others at work stop dividing.

PHOEBE IS AMAZING AS USUAL!!!!

[christerritt-58444 · 10/10 · 3 August 2020]

In regards to the first review, without PHOEBE, friends wouldn't be the same, yes she's stupid and flaky and a hippy but she's a laugh a minute, at least if you're slagging of Lisa kudrows character please learn to spell the name correctly it's PHOEBE not PHEOBE, phoebe is my second favorite character after chandler, if anyone don't like any of the characters then you really shouldn't insult courtney, Jennifer, matt, Mathew, David and LISA by watching this timeless sitcom FACT

These aren't real!

[studioAT · 5/10 · 13 June 2017]

Lisa Kudrow's Phoebe had always been pretty flaky up to this point in the shows run, but the surrogacy story line which begins here goes a long way to developing her, and making her a little more real.

The Chandler and Monica story line has its moments, and Courtney Cox does well in it.

My favourite story line of the three though is the one featuring Ross and Joey, with quite possibly the best line coming from guest star Sherri Shepherd as Rhonda the tour guide.

A solid episode in my favourite series of 'Friends'.

I really hate the character of Pheobe

[buffyforever12 · 1/10 · 26 September 2006]

I am a huge fan of friends, but I hate the character of Pheobe. Not a single one of the other characters on the show in real life would be friends with that annoying, rude, badly dressed, hippie. She always puts people down and screws everything up. Like how she blurted out Monica had lunch with Richard in front of Chandler while on the plane to Vegas. When she blurts out Racheal is pregnant, when she harrases Ross while he's still secretly married to Rachal, and a million other instances. I seriously hated Pheobe on the show. Any episode or storyline that centers on Pheobe is a huge waste of time and airspace. No wonder why she never had a serious relationship before that equally annoying Mike guy because shes freaking annoying and weird. One of my favorite jokes in the show is in the Thanksgiving episode of season 9 when Christina Applegates character is introduced to Pheobe and she says something like "Well thats a funny noise", love it!

It's just messed up!

[salmanamjad89 · 3/10 · 23 March 2021]

First off Pheobe is my least favourite of the six coz her character is pretty inconsistent. First couple of seasons She never lied then all of a sudden she can't do anything but lie! Then this whole brother babies thing is pretty messed up no matter how you look at it, why not just adopt a kid instead of putting your babies in your sister!!

Surrogate and Divisions

[vivianla · 5 December 2020]

Phoebe congratulate her brother and his new wife on getting eloped. They have been trying to get pregnant since they were engaged and seen numerous doctors but cannot get pregnant. The wife is older. The brother says the doctor said they have to take his sperm and her egg and put it in another girl. He wants Phoebe to be the girl.

Ross got Joey a job at the museum as a tour guide. Joey finds out though that during lunch the white lab coats and blue blazers sit separately. Gift shop ppl are not invited to sit with the blue blazers. A black woman yells at one of her former classmates to see if he would pay attention to her and like she said, he didn't despite being clearly able to hear.

Phoebe visits her mom who thinks the surrogacy is a bad idea and gives Phoebe a pug puppy for three days. The pug shakes its little head frequently and it is so cute.

Chandler has not had sex with his girlfriend yet and it is because he is worried about not being able to perform as well as Joey. They share a wall and he can hear.

Monica and Rachel sit with Chandler. Monica draws out a woman and explains which areas are pleasing using numbers. She basically gets an orgasm herself while thinking about it.

Phoebe offers the puppy to her brother and his wife and decided she can be their surrogate because they look so happy. Her mom comes in and says that was her puppy.
