The One with Ross's Thing

[Lady_Targaryen · 8/10 · 16 May 2008]

Phoebe is going out with two guys at the same time: Vince, the hot fireman, and Jason, the intelligent professor. She stays seriously in doubt about who she is going to choose to be her boyfriend,specially because she likes emotional guys, but also guys who are strong and take care of their bodies.(In other words: with a hot body!) To make things even worst to her, she discovers that Vince is very sensitive and Jason has an incredible body.

Monica thinks Pete will ask her in marriage, and gets disappointed when she discovers that the $50,000 paid in a ring designer,in fact means that Pete wants to become an Ultimate Fighting Champion.

Ross has a ''thing'' in his butt, and stays frightened with it. Since all the doctors he goes doesn't know what to do with the ''thing'' (even the doctor who removed Chandler's third nipple), he goes to Phoebe's herbalist, Guru Saj, who is the only one who really has success in helping Ross to remove the strange anomaly.

The One with Ross's Thing

[ComedyFan2010 · 7/10 · 3 July 2011]

The story about Ross's thing is pretty funny. I liked the scene where Joey said that it may get called after him and people will be saying, "Oh, he got the Ross...". And the scene at the Guru who finally removes it is pretty funny as well

The story about Phoebe dating two guys and trying to decide which one to stay with is not bad either. Especially good is the scene when they both meet each other and in the process of confrontation both leave her for different reasons

The idea about Pete wanting to become an ultimate fighting champion is great because one wouldn't expect it, so when it comes out it bis especially funny

The One With Two Guys

[devashishparnami · 9/10 · 9 October 2018]

"Ross' Thing" is something on his derrière. He doesn't know what it is. Chandler doesn't know what it is. Joey doesn't know what it is. A large contingent of conventional doctors don't know what it is. So Phoebe sends him to Guru Saj, her herbalist, to figure out what it is. Guru Saj doesn't know exactly what it is, but solves the problem, not with medicine, conventional or otherwise. Meanwhile Pete mentions to Monica that he has something important to tell her. When Joey finds out that Pete has paid $50,000 to a ring designer, engagement ring comes to everyone's mind. Although Monica originally thinks she will say no if Pete asks her to marry him, the thought of saying yes becomes more and more appealing. However the question has to come first. On another dating front, Phoebe ends up dating two guys at the same time, Vince the beefy fireman, and Jason the sensitive kindergarten teacher. She likes them both for their obvious attributes. But when dating two guys at one time starts to be a little problematic.

The ending is the funniest part

The poste credits scene with the Guru asking if the duck would eat a bat, Joey holding the duck flapping is just hilarious.

Below average episode

[studioAT · 2/10 · 31 May 2017]

I can't say that this is one of my favourite episodes of 'Friends' as nothing really happens. All three of the story lines are mildly funny, but don't create that many laugh out loud moments.

Lisa Kudrow perhaps fares best in her story line, but even then there are lines in there that feel forced.

Joey and Chandler are given very little to do, and Matthew Perry again sadly looks unwell.

The big revelation about Pete will have an effect on the next episode.

Not a great episode overall.

Hopes

[vivianla · 29 May 2020]

Ross has a "thing" on his butt and hopes to get it off even after medical professionals are unsure about what it is.

Monica thinks Pete will propose after Joey sees that Pete paid to make a ring.

Phoebe has two ongoing dates. One is a fireman and the other is a kindergarten teacher. She says the top qualities of each are the fireman has a great body and the teacher is sensitive. She prefers sensitivity and goes to break up with the fireman at his workplace only to discover his sensitivity from his reaction to the break up. She goes to the teacher's home to see him shirtless with a beautiful body and does not break up with him either. At the cafe both men come to see Phoebe singing and they get jealous of what Phoebe did for the other that she didn't do for him. They were accepting of the fact that their relationships with her were not exclusive but the teacher was upset she did not sleep with him when she did with the fireman. He leaves. The fireman is upset Phoebe had an open light in a wooded area and leaves.

Rachel's purse with the cherries dangling is so cute. Monica's dress when she is with Pete at his home to discover he wants to become an ultimate fighting champion is stunning. Rachel's face and outfits are cute.
