**ANOTHER EVIL TWIN?!** Friends Season 2 Ep 9 & 10 Reaction: FIRST TIME WATCHING "The One With Russ"

[@melainakiss]

I'm glad that Julie met Russ. They didn't have to bring her back but Julie deserves good things.

[@nickreacts6394]

Exactly!!

[@Pikachu132]

I like that she showed up so late they actually spoiled it in the credit rolls before she walked in. "Special guest star: Lauren Tom as Julie" at 26:55

[@melainakiss]

@@Pikachu132 oh! Good catch

[@fiveoctaves]

I'd only seen this episode in re-runs and I'd never seen them meeting until now!

[@little7redify]

​@@fiveoctavesDo they not show the credit scenes on re-runs?

[@QuayNemSorr]

Russ and Ross is just comedic gold. David Schwimmer taking everything about his own character and cranking it up to 11

[@Jackiethevampireslayer]

the Ross and Russ situation is so funny im happy that Julie managed to get with a guy, she was so nice

[@nickreacts6394]

It was a nice ending for them

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

We need a spinoff with Julie, Janice, Russ, Gunther, and that one crazy roommate of Chandler’s

[@yamikage8826]

Russ is played by David Schwimmer (credited as 'Snaro')

HE NOTICED GLADYS

[@TheMaskedChef7]

He’s super attentive & caring

[@adnap]

“Fun Bobby” was Billy in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, which also starred Lisa Kudrow. Another piece of entertainment history totally worth checking out.

[@barrymoreblue]

Fun fact: the actress who plays Estelle is the same one who played the nurse when Carol is giving birth.

[@Pikachu132]

Sounds like you forgot, but Fun Bobby previously appeared in season 1 episode 13, where he's also not very fun due to his grandfather just having died.

[@miskbalder]

Phoebe is so great, so happy over the simplest christmas present because she knows it is a gift from a friend ❤ Nice that u noticed the kewl "painting" she had at home, it is so Phoebe 😂 I didn't realize first time watching Friends that Russ is also played by David Schwimmer, found that out much later, I was thinking they had to be looking for a very good look-alike and hit the jackpot 🙂

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

No joke I literally have Phoebe’s cheat sheet “brake-left gas-right” hanging up in my car. I had a big problem remembering which was which when I first started driving. I took a corner really fast and hit a fire hydrant. Even now when driving gets really stressful (weather, traffic, bad roads, etc.) I still glance at it 😅

[@sirjohnmara]

20:22 WHAT! You've watched "Brideshead Revisited"? Whitout us? That is a very classy classic. Mr Thor - you have a lot more Grace than expected. 🙂

[@TheMaskedChef7]

It’s like night and later that night 😂

[@biankatoth1786]

I just realized that fun Bobby and Phoebe played together in Romy and Michele.

[@spideypool5857]

I love your friends reactions! It’s my favourite show of all time and I’m so excited for you to react to my favourite season, season 5!!!

[@nickreacts6394]

Excited to get there, it's been nothing but fun so far!

[@spideypool5857]

@@nickreacts6394 you’re my fav friends reactor and I always look forward to your uploads!! Keep it up!!

[@Heida77]

The Fun Bobby storyline is actually pretty true and sad. It reminds me of my dad. He's always been both pretty grumpy and VERY emotionally distant towards me and the family, but when he's been drinking he actually opens up and listens. I know he means what he says but I need to hear him say it sober. Alcoholism runs in my family so I've decided to pretty much avoid alcohol (besides the occasional cocktail) because I've seen how it destroys people and families. I also just don't like the taste of most of it. I actually don't think many people do, because the main thing they are after are the effects. I think it's crazy that we live in this culture where alcohol is just normalised and people even think you're weird if you don't drink, like you must be an alcoholic. On a lighter note, Gunther (Rachel's boss at Central Perk) has his first line in episode 9 but he was supposed to be a silent guest cast member. However, since James Michael Tyler was the only actor who knew how to work a cappuccino machine, he became a series regular. He was actually a barista in real life and when he started to appear in more episodes of Friends, he quit to work full time on the show. Also, June Gable, who plays Joey's agent Estelle, appeared before as a nurse assisting Carol giving birth to Ben and the other woman Joey was helping.

[@starscreamthecruel8026]

After Mom developed epilesy, I had to start going downstairs at 3am, to wake Dad who had passed out on the carpet, still holding his glass of scotch with a death grip, didnt spill any. After she passed, it became a regular thing and the only time he would be truthful with me was after he'd been drinking. Sober, he was mean and expected things of me that he knew I was incapable of, drunk he'd tell me how worried he was that I wasnt gonna survive if I didnt marry because who was gonna look after me after he was gone? to him I was redacted due to my mental illness(BPD is light years away from what he thought I was). His lack of faith in my ability to take care of myself(eight years alone, managing) but I suppose he thought he was trying to show that he cared. He found it VERY difficult to show emotions when I was growing up unless he'd been drinking. All we ever saw was rage when sober or this flat affect. He was Silent Gen. I guess its harder for that generation to open up without help.

[@LeonC0704]

I love how the show just keeps getting funnier

[@ZachWilsonsMomsFriend]

As the actors start to understand their characters and take creative liberties it really gets so enjoyable

[@sirjohnmara]

07:55 Yes, that is Pheobe's Art. It will come into play later. Nice that you noticed!

[@edensicking6172]

This episode always makes me wonder who is tipping their mailman?

[@carriesmith742]

A friend of mine was pre-vet and got to live on the farm housing at Potomac State in Keyser, WV with the condition that she worked on the farm. I never saw her do it but when I went to visit for the first time and met the farm manager, he was literally elbow deep up a cow's butt and neither the cow nor the man seemed phased by it. He just carried on a conversation with me with his hand up a cow! It's DEFINITELY a sight you can't unsee! You're right about that. I got to feed the calves and help milk the cows. It was fun.

[@janabraam7963]

I love that Phoebe was so grateful of her Christmas presents! I think Estelle is so funny! Great reactions & commentary!!

[@luckyrobinshomestead]

Lorne Greene was Adama on the original Battlestar Galactica and Galactaca 1980. He was incredibly famous for playing patriarch Ben Cartwright in Bonanza, a western that took place on the Ponderosa ranch, which ran from 1958 to 1973 and had 430 episodes. I was 3 when it went off the air, but my parents watched reruns religiously. It also starred Michael Landon (Charles Ingalls, Little House on the Prairie) as his son.

[@WillyanWagner]

I'm loving this reactions!!

[@nickreacts6394]

Thanks so much!

[@maximillianosaben]

This show is so good. I’m so happy you’ve jumped into this journey.

[@amariebloom]

So happy

[@ginawhitfield6797]

You Absolutely need to watch Friends Bloopers. Every season. You'll see how much they cracked up and pranked each other

[@RB-vo4gi]

I feel bad for Fun Bobby. He was an alcoholic, the people around his convinced him to get sober, just to want to ditch him because he was “boring” without the alcohol.

[@paulcurran4786]

Joeys manager is the same lady who was the nurse when Ben was being born....

[@odinvolk6973]

first watching I thought the twist for Phoebe was that really was her father and while everybody's doubting her she finds out both sides are true. that is her father and he took a quick photo shoot job before disappearing.

[@davewade30]

"Girl, you ain't much fun since I quit drinkin."

Lorne Green played on Western TV series Bonanza.

[@M3gaHeart]

SLIGHT SPOILER (not really tho bc its not that important) the reason phoebe probably didnt know who albert einstein was is because she never went to highschool

Thanks so much!

[@lc8155]

Loved the reaction. Thanks!

[@TheMaskedChef7]

I’m probably the lamest but i wouldn’t mind a slinky for Christmas they make me giggle!

[@nickreacts6394]

Not lame at all, that's a great mindset honestly! I did enjoy teasing Ross about it though...

[@TheTrueEdge1]

What was that shadow floating across the video? Weird. Good reactions and commentary. Episode 10 is one of my favorites x)

[@Logan_Baron]

Rewatching this after watching FRIENDS so many times, that just now hit me. What job does Joey have? He says he's trying to get his bosses ex-wife to sleep with him. What job is he doing between acting that he has a boss?

[@MartinHCollection]

Estelle was played by a woman who played nurse when Ben was born :)

[@jewdea]

“You sound like Bert kreischer right now” 😂

[@SarahTheBloody]

I love your reactions to all the Friends eps. But your comment about a movie about a slinky saving a love. "wow, that would be something." I had to put my drink down because I was laughing so hard! Hilarious! Just to ask, have you seen Seinfeld and/or Frasier? Also great comedic shows of the 90's if you're interested!

[@nickreacts6394]

Aw that really warms my heart you found my rant on Slinkys funny, I was hoping it would get a few laughs :) I've seen a couple episodes of both shows, and thought they were both quite funny, I just might have to wait till after I finish Friends to start a new sitcom. But never say never!

[@Kai81194]

True, fun Bobby was great, but Monica needs someone who can make her laugh without drinking.

[@amberaegard]

Great theme, living like bacon

[@Kerenscardi]

I think the slinky was meant to be an inside thing between them I’m not sure but it kinda felt like it

[@notoriouslybratty]

You know Bert Kriescher! The Machine! Hope you react to his movie when it comes out.

[@nickreacts6394]

I'm rooting for it to do well, the trailer looked pretty funny!

[@A23457]

This episode always kind of bugged me lol. Obviously picking apart a sitcom is easy to do and I usually go with the flow, but the average temperature for a NYC night at Christmastime is in the 30s. Not only wouldn’t the apartment have been sweltering with the windows open, it likely would be freezing in there. C’mon writers! 😂

[@Itmustbe_bunnies]

30s isn't that cold. I live in Michigan, and my apartment runs warm, so I leave my bedroom window open throughout the winter and I rarely get chilly. I don't even bother to wear a coat outside when it's in the 30s, unless I am out there for hours.

[@theprousteffect9717]

Completely unrelated, but your hair is beautiful.

[@nickreacts6394]

Thank you! :)

[@katleona2101]

Babe, I wanna hear the cow story 😅

[@nickreacts6394]

I was visiting a huge farm in Colombia and my veterinarian friend who ran the farm rushed over and helped a cow give birth. I watched her literally reach her hands in and help pull the calf out (without warning me what I was about to witness, I might add 😂) Then she came back and laughed in my horrified face. I’ve been in therapy ever since… (ok that last part might not be true, but the rest, unfortunately for me, 100% happened haha)

[@davewade30]

Does Irish coffee taste good? I can't imagine drinking hot whiskey!

[@micheletrainor1601]

Yeah, it's so good, especially as a nightcap before bed they work better than sleeping tablets. Real irish coffee that is not just whiskey in coffee. It's really nice, and I am not a whiskey drinker either. You can buy them in my local shop pre made in the cute little glasses. I believe they even sell them on Amazon, especially around St. Patrick's Day and Christmas.

[@TheMaskedChef7]

If you like friends you will definitely like “The Big Bang Theory” hope you consider it.

[@nickreacts6394]

Definitely on my list if I have time for another show!

React tô sitcom Seinfeld ♥️ Is amazing funny

[@TheMaskedChef7]

Meh too misogynistic at times

[@ninja_tony]

@@TheMaskedChef7 oh for goodness sake. The entire point of Seinfeld is that none of the characters are inherently good people, so it doesn’t matter how you think they appear because that’s the point.
