    Funny

    It was really funny especially the dozen of Lasagnas and when Ross told Carol that the Lasagna is vegetarian!

    Also it was good that Paolo's role is done and he left the series!

    It's probably funny because it involves a dozen lasagnes

    Bye Bye Paulo

    Plot In A Paragraph: Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Paolo's relationship comes to a halt after he gropes Phoebe's (Lisa Kudrow) bum. Ross (David Schwimmer) has a hard time not finding out the sex of his and Carol's baby. Joey (Matt Le Blanc) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) make a decision that will have a massive impact on their future lives as room mates when they get a new table.

    After saying I was disappointed the character of Paulo continued to return, as I'm not a fan of his. Through no fault of the actor playing him Cosimo Fuco did what he could, but I just never took to the character. He exits stage left and this reviewer for one won't miss him, and at least the actor went out having fun. Now they can move forward with Ross and Rachel.

    • Trivia
      The song the friends are humming in the beginning of this episode is the theme to The Odd Couple (1970). Ross tries to continue with the I Dream of Jeannie (1965) theme when Chandler stops him.
    • Goofs
      Monica makes meat lasagnas when her aunt actually wanted vegetarian lasagna. The entire episode she is trying to get rid of the dozen lasagnas. Toward the end of the show, Phoebe eats the lasagna. Phoebe is a vegetarian. Response: Monica says only every third layer has meat. Phoebe could be eating the non-meat layers. Also she is not a strict vegetarian. In The One with the Fake Party (1998), she knowingly eats meat.

      Joey Tribbiani: [shopping for a new table] Will you pick one? Just pick one. Here! How about that one?

      Chandler Bing: That's patio furniture.

      Joey Tribbiani: So what? Like people are gonna come in and think "Oh, oh, I'm outside again!"
