Is this the greatest moment of betrayal in the show?

This is such a weird storyline. I kinda cringe everytime. One of the first āletās dumb down Joey for comedyā storylines. The song is catchy tho

As someone who's bent over backward trying to make it in entertainment, I fully understand him grasping at straws for attention.
I don't get him believing "hand twins" are a thing, but somehow it stuck to the wall and made it to production and now we have to live with it.2

Yeah, I never viewed this as a Joey Dumb storyline. It's a Joey Desperate story.

I dunno - Iām a person who tried very hard and failed to learn French and to me itās one of the funniest minor storylines

To each their own. Maybe thatās why I donāt like it. I never tried to learn French.

Thats nothing to do with not being able to repeat simple sounds which even a toddler can
How is Joey not being able to repeat simple sounds same as learning and remembering, words, spellings, syntax etc? They are nothing alike.
It was dumb dumb dumb

This was an example of having a script 90% done and the writers realizing they didn't have anything for Joey to do.

This might be my least favourite plot in the entire show. Struggling to imagine someone finding it funny.

Eugh this storyline was so cringe. They had no idea what to write for Joey that episode.

How is that betrayal? Joey was being annoying and the poor croupier just let the guards escort him out.

I liked the old Joey where he was a slightly dumb charming ladies man and they couldāve had this storyline with that angle where heās trying to convince his hand twin to work with him to pick up girls.
But they just made him an idiot

I think Monica going shopping to Bloomingdales with Julie is greater betrayal š
