A few weeks ago someone was looking to see the Chanandeler Bong episode of Friends, but in the comments, they're listed as Guest, so I can't tell them. If you know who it is, please tell them that my TiVo indicates that it's scheduled for 2/15, 11:30 on WGN in Chicago, and that if the times don't match up in their market, it can be searched for as "The One with the Embryos."

FWIW, "The One With The Embryos" is also this week's Canon submission on Extra Hot Great. Haven't listened yet, but that'll be interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe guest wasn't me, but I just wanted to say that ThingThrowers are the best! Always looking out for each other when it comes to pop culture :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Friends episode! "That's MISS Chenandler Bong."
ReplyDeleteFunny I was just talking about "Friends" yesterday as a friend was talking about the challenges of moving his couch into his apartment. I started yelling "PIVOT!" which he didn't get, but someone else did and we had to inroduce him to that classic scene (starts around 3:30.)
ReplyDeleteI use "PIVOT!!!!" all the time, and lots of people don't get the reference. I also referenced the WENUS while teaching last week and got nothing but blank looks.
ReplyDeleteFriends had its ups and downs but I am one of those who feel it deserves its place in sitcom history. It may not have broken any molds, but for the most part it still holds up as damn funny.
ReplyDeleteWENUS needs to be a cultural icon on the level of TPC reports.
ReplyDeleteWhat I often forget is that the episode is truly great because not only is the whole game-show thing perfect and wonderful in every way, but the other plot in the episode is Phoebe getting implanted with the embryos for her brother and his wife (the fantastic Giovanni Ribisi and Deborah Jo Rupp). The scene where Phoebe talks to the embryos in the petrie dish kills me every time. "If the next time you see me, I'm screaming, don't worry - that's what's supposed to happen." So funny, and also so sweet: "Frank and Alice want you really bad, so when you get in there, GRAB ON."
ReplyDeleteGuest was me (just started a new job...). So, thanks!! Maybe I kept missing it because the description had little do with what I thought was salient about the episode.
ReplyDeleteHow far are we pushing the open requests? Can someone snag a portillo's italian sausage with sweet peppers, onions & mozz cheese?
ReplyDeleteLove that ep.... it's in my top 3 along with the Jellyfish incident and Jill Goodacre in the ATM vestibule.
ReplyDeleteI might put it third, but it would definitely be behind The One With The Prom Video and The One With Chandler In A Box.
ReplyDeleteThe real time episode-- the one where everyone is late is my favorite. The Chanandler Bong episode is my second favorite. "You're ruining moving day!"
ReplyDeleteI also adore the one where everyone shows up late for Thanksgiving dinner. Emma is dressed in Louisa May Emory's cowgirl outfit (Joey's Cabbage Patch doll) for a baby beauty pageant. And Joey, Ross, Phoebe and Rachel all end up in the hallway as the floating heads. Joey's eye contact-- gets me every time.
Soooo...CoveritLive?
