Chandler and Joey's epic love story. Ross and Joey take a nap. Joey's inseam and the tailor. (You can also discuss Rachel/Phoebe lesyay! and how the world is Chandler's lesbian wedding...)

How Mon & Rach kept the apartment: "That was one goooood minute." "Good night!" "Good night!" [slam bedroom doors]

Wow, the subforum came back. I love Chanoey, especially back in the early seasons when they were together all the time.

Here's a pic I made for an old Pixel Challenge: Chanoey the musical

Friends had some excellent Hoyay. Let's also not forget Chandler and Mr. Geller...

Let's also not forget the Phoebe/Monica stuff either. Monica said that Phoebe hit on her during her fourth month of pregnancy, and then Monica made sex noises during her massage, and Phoebe commented on Monica having the breasts of a Greek goddess.

That episode was on tonight. When Chandler accidently sits on Jack in the sauna. Hee.



That scene owns this thread.

No, Chandler and Joey's New Year's Kiss owns this thread! Or maybe them sharing a bed in TOW The Boobies. ;)

No... that scene owns this whole forum.

There is always Rachel and Winona Ryder's kiss, too.



That scene make the cast of Angel sit up and go, "Damn, even we don't have that much HoYay!"

And let's not forget Monica's tendencies to notice other women's assets:

- Ross's girlfriend who lived in a garbage-filled-apartment: "Did you see the ass on her?!"

- Nanny Molly (who turned out to be a lesbian!): "Wouldn't kick her out of bed. More vodka for me!"

- On meeting Charlie: "She's a HOO-tie!"

Or Phoebe's staring at Denise Richards while thinking: "Ask her out, she's not your cousin".

Or the "who would you date" argument: I don't know...me neither...Rachel!

And when the girls take Chandler to the strip club.

Hee, yes. "...and when I grazed her thong--" And not surprinsingly, Changler's dream versions of the girls seem to really enjoy the strippers, too.

Which reminds me, it also seems Chandler's version of himself can't enjoy the girl-on-girl action without having to bring in some guy for himself. Of course, he says he says he needs to "wake up NOW" but, hey, it's his mind that brought in cigar-guy to hit on him...

ETA: and Joey, who thought the cake was more appealing when it looked like a penis than a bunny. (Damn, I never realized there were so many Ho!Yay moments in this show...)

you *never* realised? Wow, Friend's is one of the gayest shows on tv! It's up there with Angel, Will and Grace, and Whose Line! (I mean all that in the nicest way possible, of couse!)
Didnt it strike anyone else that Kathy (season 4, the girl that got between Joe and Chan) was essentially 'Chandler with boobies'? Hmm..why did Joey go for her?? I wonder (lets just ignore the weird factor of Chandler also falling in love with her, because that was him kinda falling in love with hims...its all very complicated!)
I could list a thousand more things, but I couldnt be arsed!

Joey and Ross's nap is one of the best scenes ever on the show. I love the tag scene where Joey gets up, freaks out, and runs off. Then Ross, incredibly calm and composed, just gets up, nods, and walks off. Such a perfect moment.

The commentary track for 'The One with Chandler in the Box' basically had the writers talking about the couple of Chandler and Joey being the focus. That when Kathy arrived to break up with Chandler in order to get out from between him and Joey one of the quotes was 'It's funny because the couple breaking up isn't necessarily the couple you want to stay together.'

And when Chandler silently waves one finger at the departing Kathy the comment is 'Awww... look at how much Joey means to him!'

I think one of my favorites of the latter seasons was 'The One with the Secret Closet' because that main plot of that was Joey and Chandler trying to get into that closet and even Joey mentioned how good it was to be spending time with Chandler again.

The credit card under the door... oh my God. I love that ep.

The redeeming feature of the episode with the late bachelor party was how excited Joey was, and how he even cancelled a date to be there. And then he told Chandler how they used to be inseparable, and he missed that. Chandler promised that they would make time for each other and they hugged.

I've also always loved the whole bit where the woman at Chandler's job offers to set him up with Lowell in Purchasing and he claims he's Not, but is then offended that Lowell's "no Brian in Payroll...What, you don't think I could get a Brian? I could get a Brian, believe you me! ...I'm really not." Hee!

(Oh, "it's my hair??" "Yes, you have homosexual hair." Oh, Pheebs.)

I love how Lisa delivers that line 'yes, you have homosexual hair'
Classic

I just have to say that I love the title of this thread. I think that it is one of the funniest parts of TOW the Embryos. The delivery is perfect!

Great thread! Let's not forget that in TOW Rachel's Book when Chandler is talking to Monica about their future together, he makes sure to mention the "...apartment over the garage where Joey could grow old." Not even the Mondler marriage can separate those boys!

Can't remember if this was mentioned but what about Joey in Vegas Part 1. Rachel has the eye infection and won't take the drops. Monica grabs her and pins her to the floor and Rachel says "You know, if Joey and Chandler walked in on us right now we could make a fortune."

You have a roommate to save money. Chandler payed for Joey's acting classes, head shots and I doubt that Joey was always on time with the rent. If that's not love I don't know what is.

How about when Ross is practicing dirty talk on Joey. Someone mentioned it in the favorite moments thread, and it reminded me of the hoyay.

JOEY: Oh... Ross.... you get me so hot. I want your lips on me now.

***

JOEY: Now tell me you want to caress my butt!

***

ROSS: I want to feel your hot, soft skin with my lips.

JOEY: There you go! Keep going. Keep going!

ROSS: I want to take my tongue... and... and...

JOEY: Say it... say it!

ROSS: ...run it all over your body!

Remember, Ross really really REALLY wanted to 'nap' with Joey again. It was the best nap he'd ever had...

There's an outtake on the one in London where Chandler and Joey hide in the bathroom while Ross yells at Monica for convincing Emily to move the wedding. I'm not sure exactly how the original lines go:
Joey: I hope they don't think we went in there 'cos we were uncomfortable!
Chandler I hope they do!

In the outtake, instead of delivering those lines upon exiting the bathroom, they have their pants down to their knees. Priceless!

I loved it when Susie Moss stole Chandler's clothes, and left him cowering in the bathroom stall. Then Joey came in and whistled the tune of Buffalo Gals, and Chandler joined in, like he recognized him.

"Joey?"

"Ma?"

And then Joey rushed over to the other stall because he just HAD to see Chandler in a hot pink thong. Then Ross came along too. :)

...is it weird that I wanted to see Chandler in that hot pink thong also?

Best lines... "Somebody's flossing!!" and "Hi tushie!".. And the look on Schwimmer's face when he 'see's Joey in the mirror looking down at Chandler from the top of the stall...makes me laugh just thinking about it.

hehe 'uh, Joey, some people dont like that'
fantastic delivery

As Monica said when Chandler bought back all the furniture in season 4: "Joey has the best boyfriend ever!"

Or when Joey moves out, and the use of broken up gf/bf platitudes to console Chandler.

"He's moved on. He's..... decorated!"

And who kisses Chandler on New Year's Eve? Joey!

Eh, I had a roommate who was broke a lot that I helped out with money issues occasionally. And we weren't nearly as inseparable as Chandler and Joey, slashy interpretations of the two's friendship aside. Sometimes having the company of friends is the main motivation rather than saving money.

That doesn't necessarily mean that I think Chandler and Monica were a better couple than Chandler and Joey, however.

Besides all the lesbian stuff in TOW Joey's Dirty Day already mentioned, the episode also features this line:

Chandler: Y’know, I can’t believe Kathy did this too me. I really, thought that she was the one. I tell you what, from now on I’m never getting out of this chair, ever! Okay? From now on, this chair is the one! You wanna what else is the one? My sweat pants!

Ross: Come on, man! Just-just take the sweats off. Okay? Just take ‘em off and we’ll have some fun.

Didn't Ross also say, after Chandler first ran away from the wedding, that "we" should go take a shower?

That reminds me of Chandler helping Joey take a shower when he had a hernia. :)

I love the scene when Rachel finds out Monica has been spending time with Julie. "Rachel, I swear, I was thinking of you the whole time." And then, when they make up later, poor Phoebe can't stand to be left out and keeps joining in the hugs.

And let's not forget the ballroom dancing!! Joey and Treegar (sp?) crack me up dancing on the roof.

"Now is that never talking about it again?" Hee that always makes me laugh.

This thread is great!

Followed by Phoebe kissing Rachel so she could see what all the fuss was about! Then when she said she's had better, Rachel looked like she wanted to redeem herself.

When Chandler and Monica are competing with Phoebe to see who can set Rachel up, Chandler keeps saying his guy smells incredible.

"Do you want our guy to be your guy?"

This seems like a more fitting place for all of the homophobia/homosexual talk.

I love how much in love Chandler is with Eldod.

"You dance for Rachel!"
and constantly prompting Rachel to smell him.

"You dance for Rachel" is one of my all time favourite lines, it's just so cute the way Matty says it. But yeah, Chandler was totally fangirling over Eldod.

Wow, Friends has awesome Hoyay!!!!!! Seriously, hilarious!! I always love the Hoyay with the guys. So hilarious.

I used to think the show was pretty homophobic toward gay men (it seemed like any time one of the guys would do anything remotely "gay" or "girly" another character was there to pounce on it and make fun of the guy, as if being gay made them less of a man). But I think the episode that really turned it around for me was the episode where that kid said he was in love with Ross. I thought it was great of Rachel to confront him about it, and incredibly sweet of Ross to talk to the kid. But I think it would have been much better if the kid really DID have a crush on Ross. But whatever. I do love the nap episode. It always seemed so sweet, Ross and Joey snuggling on the couch together.

Yeah there are moments like that, such as when Joey invited Chandler to his movie premiere, and thanked him for supporting his career. He and Chandler smiled at each other and shared a moment, but then one of the women said snidely, "Which one of you wants to wear my dress?" So then the guys had to get all embarrassed and try to assert their manliness. It's sad that two guys can't show their emotions without having to back off and be macho all of the sudden.

Still, there are some genuine loving moments of hoyay that are really touching, like Joey wishing for Chandler to get a new job on lottery day. I love little scenes like that, showing how much they care about each other.

Joey also cried a lot when Chandler said he was going to move out, and for a while Monica even seemed a little jealous and upset that Rachel was blase, and didn't cry for her.

Phoebe: Hey. Why are you all red and sweaty?
Ross, triumphant: I just Bamboozled Chandler!

Joey: Oh my God! I cannot believe you guys are talking about this! The problems in the bedroom are between the man and the woman!!! All right?!! Now Chandler is doing the best he can!!
Chandler: (angrily) I don’t think that’s what they were talking about Joe!!

Or Ross, "flirting" with the policeman to avoid his speeding ticket. "Officer Pretty". Heh.

What episode was that, finkles2000? That doesn't sound familiar at all....

I think finkles2000 is referring to "The One With Joey's Award," with the subplot where those two male students claim that their grades are suffering because they're distracted by their love for Ross. And actually, I kind of adore that storyline, because Kyle Howard and the guy playing the other student have such great line deliveries. I have never been able to get the phrase "I'm like, all...in love with you, and stuff" out of my head.
