    The One with the Nap Partners

    The Ross/Joey storyline is great fun (though the bloopers are better) but other than that I didn't really warm to this episode.

    The story with the girls was only so-so (it did make a change though not to have a Rachel/Tag plot) and the Monica/Chandler one wasn't great either.

    Another average episode from a 7th series I've never really thought was consistently the show at its best.

    • Trivia
      The scene where Joey and Ross take their first nap together took ages to film. It's one of the longest-running bloopers in the gag reel - David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc could not stop laughing.
    • Goofs
      When Pheobe and Rachel first have discourse regarding which of them will be Monica's maid of honor - Pheobe tells Rachel that she's never been a maid of honor. This goes on to influence Rachel's decision to let Pheobe be Monica's maid of honor. Later, due to Joey's unintentional interference, Rachels learns that Pheobe has already been Maid of honor twice and lied to Rachel earlier. This directly contradicts a conversation the two girls had in the beginning of their friendship, in Season 01, when Pheobe sits Rachel down to warn her about her then fling, Paolo. Phoebe begins by explaining to Rachel two things: 1 - She never lies to her friends, and 2 - She makes the best oatmeal cookies.
