Friends: Joey’s 10 Most Memorable Moments

Hey, Its Porcha

While Ross and Rachel were divorcing and Phoebe, Chandler, and Monica were babysitting triplets, Joey was pretending to own a Porsche. He even created a fake life where he invested in equity to get the car and an upstate home.

The Porsche debacle was one of Joey’s most memorable moments, showing his desire to be seen as something more than just an actor. When the real owner took the car, Joey was exposed. After the incident, Joey tried to keep up the deception by wearing a Porsche-branded outfit and creating a cardboard model.

Joey’s Fridge

Joey’s fridge breaks in season six, leading him to try and get others to pay for it. After Rachel denies him, he turns to Chandler, who finds him looking ill and surrounded by empty food containers. Joey explains that he had to eat everything in the fridge before it went bad. 

To convince Chandler to pay for the fridge, Joey spins a story where they are a divorced couple with a dead child, and he needs money to get a new one. When that fails, Joey blames Ross for breaking the fridge to get money from him.

Bloo De La Bloo Blah

In the season 10 episode titled “The One with Joey Speaks French,” Joey enlists Phoebe’s help to learn French for an upcoming audition. However, despite Phoebe’s best efforts, Joey’s attempt at speaking French turns into a hilarious disaster. 

Matt LeBlanc’s portrayal of Joey’s struggles with the language had the audience in stitches, and his famous line “Je m’appelle Claude” became an instant classic. In reality, LeBlanc had to learn French for the episode and spent weeks practicing his lines with a dialect coach. The result was a memorable and entertaining performance that still has fans laughing years later.

Joey on Pyramid

Season ten of Friends featured another classic episode, also known as “The One with Joey on Pyramid.” This episode showcases Joey’s comedic talent and unforgettable lines like “paper, snow, a ghost.” 

While there are many funny plotlines, Joey’s appearance on the game show steals the show. Despite his partner’s obvious clues, Joey loses almost every round, including a category of items found in a refrigerator, which he messes up with items like paper, snow, a ghost, a dog, a rock, and the Earth. Joey’s attempts to explain things associated with the U.S. Congress are equally hilarious and clueless.

Could I Wear Wearing any more Clothes?

Joey, fed up with Chandler’s habit of hiding his underwear, decides to retaliate by wearing every single item of clothing that Chandler owns. While this joke is more focused on Chandler than Joey, it still deserves a spot on the list, thanks to Matt LeBlanc’s expert delivery of the line.

Joey’s Award

In season seven when Joey receives a nomination for a Soapie Award, and he couldn’t be more thrilled. In his spare time, he practices his acceptance speech and “gracious loser face.” 

Unfortunately, when he loses the award, he completely forgets his training and ends up giving his acceptance speech while presenting an entirely different award. Despite his mishap, Joey’s enthusiasm and sincerity still manage to make us smile.

What’s not to like? Custard? Good. Jam? Good. Meat? GOOD.

“The One Where Ross Got High” is a classic Thanksgiving episode from Friends that features a hilarious scene involving Joey and Rachel’s trifle disaster. While everyone else finds the dish revolting due to Rachel accidentally mixing two recipes, Joey is thrilled about it. 

In his words, “What’s not to like? Custard? Good. Jam? Good. Meat? GOOD.” Joey’s love for food and his carefree attitude towards life is a delight to watch, as he brings joy to the audience with his unapologetic appetite. 

Sup with the wack PlayStation sup

Monica’s engagement celebration was overshadowed by Joey’s attempt to pass as a nineteen-year-old for a new acting role in season seven. Joey donned a ridiculous outfit, complete with Chandler’s underwear, to prove he could pass for a teenager, and delivered the unforgettable line “s’up with the wack PlayStation s’up.” 

Despite Chandler’s insistence that he looked “definitely nineteen,” Joey persisted in trying to act young, constantly using the word “wack.” Meanwhile, the rest of the gang dealt with more significant problems.

How you doin’?

In the fourth season of Friends, the episode “The One with Rachel’s Crush” gave us the very first instance of Joey’s most famous catchphrase. As Rachel seeks advice from Joey and Phoebe on asking a guy out, Joey offers his unique method of picking up women. 

Joey delivers the now-iconic line with confidence and charm, “I look a woman up and down and say, ‘Hey, how you doin’?'”. Though Phoebe initially doubts the effectiveness of the line, Joey proves it to be a winner when he puts it into practice. With his smooth moves, Joey wins over both the audience and pop culture history, as his words have become a lasting reference for Friends fans everywhere.

Joey doesn’t share food

In season ten, Joey had another hilarious moment when Phoebe set him up on a date with one of her friends. However, things go south when the girl takes a couple of fries from Joey’s plate, and he becomes agitated. 

Joey states that he doesn’t share food, not even with Emma. Although he decides to give her a second chance, he ends up eating her piece of cake while she is answering the phone. When caught red-handed, Joey unabashedly states, “I’m not even sorry.” This unforgettable line shows Joey’s unwillingness to compromise when it comes to his food.
