The One Where Rachel's Sister Babysits

In keeping with the decline of quality, here is another episode without anything funny in it. Instead of that, we again get the reminder of how loose and lewd Phoebe is, and that we are supposed to think how that is incredibly cute. We also get some more boring scenes from the bland Mike character, who is now more boring than his parents' friends from an earlier episode.

In what is a clear lack of fresh ideas, Rachel's sister returns, and she is a character that is a complete caricature, so removed from the real world that that it immediately breaks any viewer immersion. Talking about that, Joey has been made so stupid during the course of the show, that such a person could not survive in a real world even for a week, because he would kill himself the first time he tried to use any kind of electric appliance.

Another annoying point is the audience screaming like a bunch of deranged monkeys any time there is a moderately famous guest star or something important or "important" happens on screen. Feels like watching a Jerry Springer show.
