Phoebe is lovably eccentric, and Chandler is easily the funniest and most iconic of the bunch.
Monica ties the whole group together as the"mom friend.
“Last but certainly not least,Joey is the dimwitted but fun-loving friendeveryone wants to have.
Joey’s shenanigans are always entertaining, whether as an individual storyline or a plot involving the other friends.
However,the 10 seasons ofFriendspresent some unsettling truths about Joey Tribbiani that do not make sense.
While they are not necessarilyharsh realities that come from revisitingFriends,they are still worth discussing.
Friends is the popular sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, released back in 1994 and ran for ten seasons. The show follows a group of six twentysomethings through their lives in New York City and their time spent between their two apartments and their local coffee shop. The show features the group navigating tricky relationships with one another and comical misadventures.
These issues are usually plot holes, inconceivable details, or character inconsistencies.
Regardless, they certainly present things about Joey Tribbiani that do not make sense.
Joey is always there whenever his friends and family need him.
Although they do not share much in common, Joey still supports and cares about her.
Joey can be someone who is not interested in serious relationships while still treating women with respect.
Therefore, Joey’s appalling treatment of women does not concur with his characterization.
Joey can be someone who is not interested in serious relationships while still treating women with respect.
However, Joey treating women like objects just does not fit with his proven kindhearted nature.
He is the first to discoverMonica and Chandler’s secret romancebecause of her eyelash curler.
He is smooth and knows his way around social interactions.
That is what made Joey Tribbiani’s slowness consistently funny.
In earlierFriendsseasons, he always rooted for them to get back together.
Joey falling in love with Rachel does not work in this context.
Therefore,it made no sense that Ross and Chandler went to Joey for relationship advice.
They break up when they cannot consummate their relationship because they cannot cross that boundary.
Unlike Monica and Chandler’s,their friendship does not organically develop into a romance.
That being said, ifFriendsaired today, Joey and Rachel would most likely have ended up together.
It is plausible that the show would have pursued their friends-to-lovers dynamic over Ross and Rachel’s arc.
Besides a brief stint onDays Of Our LivesinFriendsseason 2,Joey is not a very successful actor.
He only makes enough money to get by.
At first, he was going to give it up, but he changed his mind.
Rachel even subsequently taught Joey how to sail his boat.
Joey’s decision to keep the boat is not feasible because of his income.
At leastFriendsattempted to explain Monica’s situationChandler mentions rent control in the series finale.
However, there has been no explanation for how Joey could afford the boat and his apartment’s rent.
He is notorious for refusing to share even a few grapes and is constantly looking for food to eat.
It is just inconceivable for any human to consume a whole turkey.
Joey accidentally sets up Mike and Phoebe, who end up getting married.
Joey officiates both of Monica and Chandler’s and Phoebe and Mike’s weddings.
It is nonsensical for Joey to play these roles and still not find a partner for himself.
Thankfully,Joeyonly lasted two seasons, so it is possible that Joey moved back to New York afterward.
The show features the group navigating tricky relationships with one another and comical misadventures.
