Ross: I went to the tanning place your wife suggested.
Chandler: Was that place the sun?
David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry in the hugely popular Friends (1994 – 2004). Though it only won six Emmys, the show launched the career of the six previously unknown actors, spawned countless memorable phrases, inspired copycat hairstyles and promoted a way of living that your friends could be your family.
I’ve already mentioned him as a womaniser but Joey Tribbaini really does deserve his own piece. Read below for a Gr8at of his funniest lines.
Chandler: Condoms?
Joey: We don’t know how long we’re gonna be stuck here. We might have to repopulate the world.
Chandler: And condoms are the way to do that?
Joey: Hey Ross. If homo sapiens were in fact “homo” sapiens, could that be why they’re extinct?
Ross: Joey, homo sapiens are people.
Joey: Hey! I’m not judging here.
Chandler: Great show. Good work, Joey.
Joey: You liked it?
Chandler: Liked it? I loved it.
Joey: What did you like best about it?
Chandler: I liked… everything the whole show.
Joey: What about the specifics?
Chandler: Specifics? Specifics were the best part.
Joey: What about the scene with the kangaroo?
Chandler: I… I was surprised to see a kangaroo in a World War I epic.
Joey: You fell asleep. There was no kangaroo. They didn’t take any of my suggestions.
Rachel: I mean, is that woman capable of talking about anything else but sex?
Joey: Yeah sure. Well, you know earlier she was talking about geography.
Monica: Joey, she was listing the countries she’s done it in.
Joey: Well, I think we all learned something.
Ross: You know what the scariest part is? What if there’s only one woman for everybody, you know? I mean, what if you get one woman, and that’s it? Unfortunately, in my case, it was only one woman for her.
Joey: What are you talking about? One woman? That’s like saying there’s only one flavour of ice cream for you. Let me tell you something, Ross. There’s lots of flavours out there. There’s Rocky Road, and Cookie Dough, and Bing. Cherry Vanilla. You could get them with jimmies, or nuts, or whipped cream. This is the best thing that ever happened to you. You got married, you were, what, eight? Welcome back to the world. Grab a spoon.
Ross: I honestly don’t know if I’m hungry or horny.
Chandler: Stay out of my freezer.
Joey: Think about it… You’re 18, she’s 44. When you’re 36, she’s gonna be 88.
Frank Buffay Jr.: You think I don’t know that?
Chandler: Hey Joey, where do Dutch people come from?
Joey: Uh… well the Pennsylvania Dutch come from Pennsylvania.
Chandler: and the other Dutch come from somewhere near the Netherlands right?
Joey: Nice try, see the Netherlands is this make believe place where Peter Pan and Tinkerbell come from.
Jessica Lockhart: [while Joey is reading her character’s death in the script] How does it happen?
Joey: You get thrown from a horse into an electric fence.
Jessica Lockhart: Jessica hates horses!
Joey: After this I’m guessing she won’t be too wild about electricity either.
