Friends: Ross' Birthday Is a Little Pricey (Season 2 Clip) | TBS

“Do we need a cake?” This is serious if Joey wants to turn down food.

Exactly what I thought 😂

[@differentworld1646]

Well he was not sure of having rhe cake.But once the cake will be bought he is sure he wont share with anyone.

I think the joke was supposed to be that they were spending a lot more on other stuff, and Joey picked the least expensive one to dispute

[@wannabepronstar9186]

I agree, I'm one of Friend's biggest fans but I feel the Joey being dumb thing was too much to appreciate, especially since he was quite street smart in the beginning. I also feel once Monica and Chandler got married, Chandler's character had no real growth and felt more like a side character who was just comic relief.

[@meetmein_hell]

They did it delibrately to show chandler more attractive than him so that monica and chandler would look good, that is the reality that girls choose the most attractive/rich guy otherwise they would have to match her with joey

[@hugecake4178]

Well I guess, it is to show that "the more sex you get, the dumber you are" 🤣🤣🤣

[@nickmishigan187]

Although this is a lighthearted show: As someone with a relatively priveleged upbringing this episode was eye-opening when I first saw it as an 18 year-old. It made me aware that my actions could end up putting unintentional financial pressure on peers by forcing them to make a decision between spending outside of their means or missing out on experience. Since then I've been much more conscious of planning activities that won't put people in difficult monetary positions.

[@ItzelleMedeiros]

I wish my friend understood this, it took her getting a job and not having money funneled to her as often for her to loosely realize the situation I was in literally all my life (until recently) even though I made it clear to her I had very little

Put your foot down with them. If you don’t buy any drinks, just sipping on water, then there is no reason to pay the extra for drinks man.

It's rare that we just split the bill into equal parts. But sometimes we go out everyone has a meal in the same price range and then we get a bucket of beer which is 6 bottles of beer in a ice bucket for the price of 5 beer. Since we are usually 5-6 guys everyone gets at least one beer. In that case it makes sense to split the bill so you don't have to keep track that everybody bought one bucket. But usually everyone pays for the things they bought because one in our group doesn't drink and it would be unfair to him.

Problem is, he's so used to a higher degree of living that the camping cost would go through the roof than what I'm used to if I go alone,so if I said yes I would end up with owing my friend a lot of money 😅 But I dont really mind.

"If it's not you, this is a horrible story" 🤣

[@sheel818]

Haha. In my country, the one who's celebrating normally pays. The friends just bring their own gifts or they team up to get that person something.

[@josiahstearns9615]

Maybe it’s just me but I love the way they did Pheobe’s hair in this scene.

[@unqouted7711]

The most life like episode in friends, most friend groups are like this 😂

[@AhmetKaan]

How much would they give me for my kidney? *Joey* 😂

[@troybar4130]

I like how some characters like Chandler and Monica are bad at relationships but are financially well off and characters like Rachel and Joey are good with relationships but are bad financially

[@sweetspicy92]

Phoebes shirt is just wow 😲 🥰😍😍😍

[@AB-uc6oy]

So this must be the one where Kidney jokes started!

[@joseeduardotschen9186]

Back in the days we used to celebrate foe anything. Now I don’t know but those were good times!!

[@alexanderroberts5223]

I miss Rachel's white sneakers from the early years.

[@dipanshupant7619]

I guess joey invented the "Kidney" joke😂😂

[@marialondonooo]

“How much do you think I can get for my kidney?” 💀💀💀

[@chaoticcaution]

This is the most relatable video I’ve seen

[@h5y878]

"Oh but they all eat monica's food, and chandler sposors joe" That's for argument reasons, they're not purposely doing it in relation to this plot, AND YOU KNOW IT

"How much you think I can get for my kidney?" My exact question when the AC in my car broke. In Phoenix.

[@andreaoliveira431]

"Do we need a cake"???🤣

1:51 where Monica says Satte Satte Satte, reminded me of Meliodas.

There's a reflect in the window behind her... staff? Or... something else?

Sauté is more common.

Watched this at 15 for the first time, rewatching it at 23 and boy does it make sense...

[@aliridha1924]

ROSS: (on phone) Yeah, yeah, everybody's here. Hey, everybody, say hi to Julie in New Mexico. ALL: Hi, Julie! RACHEL: (sarcastically) Hi, Julie. CHANDLER: Ok, while Ross is on the phone, everybody owes me 62 bucks for his birthday. PHOEBE: Um, is, is there any chance that you're rounding up? You know, like from, like 20? CHANDLER: Hey, come on, we got the gift, the concert, and the cake. JOEY: Do we need a cake? CHANDLER: Look guys, I know it's a little steep. RACHEL: Yeah, whoosh! CHANDLER: But it's Ross. PHOEBE: It's Ross. JOEY: All right. CHANDLER: I'll see you guys later, I gotta go...do a thing. ROSS: Ok, sweetheart, I'll call you later tonight. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey, you're not really gonna go through with this, are you? CHANDLER: You know, I think I might just. RACHEL: So uh, what are you guys doing for dinner tonight? JOEY: Well I guess I gotta start savin' up for Ross's birthday, so I guess I'll just stay home and eat dust bunnies. PHOEBE: Can you believe how much this is gonna cost? RACHEL: Do you guys ever get the feeling that um, Chandler and those guys just don't get that we don't make as much money as they do? JOEY: Yes! Yeah, it's like they're always saying "let's go here, let's go there". Like we can afford to go here and there. PHOEBE: Yes, yes, and it's, and we always have to go to, you know, someplace nice, you know? God, and it's not like we can say anything about it, 'cause, like this birthday thing, it's for Ross. JOEY: For Ross. RACHEL: For Ross, Ross, Ross. MONICA: (enters) Oh my god. RACHEL: Hey. JOEY: Hi. RACHEL: What? MONICA: I'm at work, ordinary day, you know, chop chop chop, sauti, sauti, sauti. All of a sudden, Leon, the manager, calls me into his office. It turns out they fired the head lunch chef, and guess who got the job. JOEY: If it's not you, this is a horrible story. MONICA: Fortunately, it is me. And, they made me head of purchasing, thank you very much. Anyway, I just ran into Ross and Chandler downstairs, and they think we should go out and celebrate. You know, someplace nice.

[@antonyregan9700]

JOEY: Someplace nice? RACHEL: Yeah... PHOEBE: Huh! JOEY: How much do you think I can get for my kidney?

[@rodan9773]
