The One After the Superbowl: Part 1
ComedyFan201019 June 2011
Warning: Spoilers
This is an episode with many guest stars. One of them is Dan Castellaneta who is Homer Simpson's voice. I just found it out today and I was very surprised because I never new what Homer Simpson looks like

Another one is Brooke Shields. And she did an amazing job playing the crazy stalker of Joey! The scene where they both eat at the restaurant and she starts licking his hands is amazing. And then he tries to explain to her that he is an actor and TV isn't real, and then all his friends make a soap-like scene by saying that he is the evil twin of Dr. Drake Ramoray, this scene is absolutely hilarious

Another guest star is Chris Isaac, he meets Phoebe and asks her to play for children. But then Phoebe sings songs that are very Phoebe-like, like where the meat is from and how grandma died. To me these songs are a little highlight of this episode, I am laughing no matter how many times I watched them

And while I am one of the people who is happy that Marcel didn't stay on the show, I was happy to see him and liked the scene when they all sing his favorite Lion King song and he recognizes and Ross and comes to him

It was an inside job. The handler on the movie set is the same one that took him at the airport to San Diego. SOLVED.

The One With The Crazy Fan
devashishparnami7 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Joey's first fan-mail for his character Dr. Drake Ramore is from Erika Ford, who sounds like a crazy stalker, so Chandler and he are scared when she turns up, but given her looks he accepts to dine together- enough for her to think she's Drake's fiancée. Hunky Rob Donan invites Phoebe to play songs for kids in the public library, but her brutally honest lyrics shock the parents. After seeing a monkey like Marcel in a commercial, Ross decides to visit him in the San Diego Zoo, where he's officially told the capucin died but hears the truth from a hush-hush caretaker: he's in a movie being shot in New York so they all go there.

No plot hole

Great episode with perhaps the best guest star in one episode in the series.

Chandler pulled his prank on Susie in the 4th grade. He later stated he went to an all boys high school. No plot hole.

A Return To Form
slightlymad2211 December 2014
A return to form for "Friends" after a few so so episodes, helped in no small part by a couple of guest stars Plot In A Paragraph: Joey is initially delighted to get his very own stalker, especially when he sees how hot she is (Brooke Sheilds) and he goes on a date with her. Meanwhile Phoebe is asked to sing songs for some children at a local school by a teacher (Chris Isaac) however, whilst ppular with the kids, the parents are less than thrilled by her honest songs. Elsewhere Ross tries to track down Marcel his former pet monkey who used to live with him.

I'm glad the show is back on track, and this has been one of the best episodes for a while

A big improvement
studioAT21 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Not every episode of Series Two of 'Friends' was great, but this was a return to form.

I liked all three of the stories that made up part one of this two parter, with Joey and his stalker (played by Brooke Shields no less) being the highlight.

It boasts guest stars too, with Fred Willard and Dan Castelenetta (the voice of Homer Simpson) showing just what a mega hit 'Friends' was at this time.

It's also nice to see Lisa Kudrow being given more to do, having been underused in my opinion throughout the second series to this point.

One of best episodes ever
melonhead425 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This episode is one of the best ever! The scene in the men's bathroom at the restaurant, after Julia Roberts character takes all of Chandler's clothes, is a classic. I've seen this episode so many times and every time it comes to this scene tears roll from my eyes from laughing so hard. It never gets old.

Joey walks into the men's bathroom whistling. Chandler whistles (from inside the stale). Joey whistles again.

Chandler: Joey?

Joey: Ma?

What an absolute classic Joey thing to say!

Then Joey stands up on the toilet in the next stale and looks down into the one that Chandler is in. As he's staring down at Chandler, smiling and laughing, Ross walks in. Ross catches a glimpse of Joey in the mirror.

Ross: Uh, Joey, most people don't like it when you do that.
