It’s a brilliant couple of episodes, where every character gets their hilarious time in the spotlight. Oh, and Joey goes on a date with his very first stalker. Phoebe briefly dates Chris Isaak, and The Simpsons voice actor Dan Castellaneta plays a janitor who reveals the true location of Marcel to Ross. It’s one of the first of Friends’ star-studded double episodes, and features a cameo from Jean Claude Van Damme (who has a crush on Rachel, but ends up inviting Monica for a threesome with Drew Barrymore) and a non-cameo from Julia Roberts (who leaves Chandler naked in a restaurant bathroom).

This two-parter (the most-watched two episodes of the entire seres) sees Ross reunite with Marcel the monkey, who is in New York filming Outbreak 2. "The One After The Superbowl" (Season 2, episodes 12 and 13)

Joey: "I was gonna do it! Really! But I was standing there with $327 in one hand and $238 in the other hand, and I was thinking, ‘Wow! It’s been a long time since I had… $327 plus $238!" 21. Throughout the episode, the jokes are strong and the situational comedy is sharp. Of course, things do not end well for Ross, who ends up finishing things with them both – but not before falling asleep on the train and ending up in Montreal. Meanwhile, Ross is dating two women at once – one from the city, the other he meets on a train to Poughkeepsie. When she tries to fire Joey to demonstrate her authority, the actor refuses to leave because he makes too much money in tips (and he gets to call himself Dragon). Monica hires Joey at her restaurant because the other kitchen staff are picking on her and she wants an ally. While often overlooked as one of the best episodes of Friends, "The One With The Girl From Poughkeepsie" is a genuine gem.
