Is this the greatest moment of betrayal in the show?

I think Monica going shopping to Bloomingdales with Julie is greater betrayal šŸ˜‚

ā€œIā€™m sorry, did my back hurt your knife?ā€ is such a great line.

This is such a weird storyline. I kinda cringe everytime. One of the first ā€letā€™s 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.

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

Second dumbest Joey story after ā€œJoey speaks Frenchā€.

u/PMzyox 2d ago

I dunno - Iā€™m a person who tried very hard and failed to learn French and to me itā€™s one of the funniest minor storylines

To each their own. Maybe thatā€™s why I donā€™t 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

I guess it was only funny to me since I had such trouble learning it

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.

u/Sharaz_Jek123 2d ago

What if they found it tragic and hauntingly sad?

u/Background_South2525 2d ago

That I can get behind

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.

u/Sharaz_Jek123 2d ago

How is that betrayal?

They were hand twins.

u/dwaynedesouza Writer of the ā€œGet Upā€ Song 17h ago

I liked the old Joey where he was a slightly dumb charming ladies man and they couldā€™ve had this storyline with that angle where heā€™s trying to convince his hand twin to work with him to pick up girls.

But they just made him an idiot
