    Sexistic episode

    Al though I like the rest of the episode, but when Chandler and Ross try to quit the gym and bank they just show attractive women as something like objects, calling them over, and makes them stay. It is horrible episode just of how they treated the women as objects in those scenes. They end up not being able to quit the gym or bank simply because of how the place shows off the woman body. I mean come on. How sexist isn't that? I am sorry but while i can enjoy the rest of the episode this is just horrible and makes it so cringy and not well liked in my opinion.

      Right before Treeger comes to get Joey to rehearse one last time, the gang is in Monica's apartment, and daylight is coming in through the windows. When Treeger and Joey go up to the rooftop, which is only moments later, it's suddenly nighttime.

      Ross: Don't you want a washboard stomach and rock-hard abs?

      Chandler: No. I want a flabby gut and saggy man-breasts.
