*SHE'S CRAZY!!* Friends S2 Ep: 11 & 12 | First Time Watching | (reaction/commentary/review0 

Brooke Shields played Erica (The crazy stalker). She was a supermodel/actress back in the day. The man who got Phoebe the singing gig is Chris Isaacs, who was a very popular musician known for his falsetto voice.

Rachel: "why can't she just copy my haircut?" Meanwhile every woman in the free world had already copied Jennifer Aniston's haircut that year.

Btw, apparently chandler throwing a water and the line in about the toilet seat wasn't in the script. It's just Matthew Perry went for it. Turned out being hilarious so they kept it in 🤣 Also yeah, the moment Monica and Rachel almost laughed. I'm pretty Courtney and Jennifer almost broke the characters, but it actually fits perfectly into the whole scene 😅

I like to think Erika ended up with Joey's hand twin.

The woman who plays Rachel's mom, is an actress by the name of Marlo Thomas. She was primarily famous in the 70's, starring in her own show "That Girl". Later, she and her father, Danny Thomas (another famous actor,) started the cancer hospital for kids called "St. Jude's".

The two episodes originally aired immediately after the Super Bowl that year. It's always a big thing to be the show that gets to follow the Super Bowl, so it was hyped up like crazy... and probably also why they used so many big guest stars for the 2 episodes, like Rachel's mom (actress Marlo Thomas), the guy who hired Phoebe (singer Chris Isaak), the monkey house bribery guy (the actor who voices Homer Simpson), and the crazy stalker fan (popular model and 80's/90's actress Brooke Shields). That's also why they call it "the one after the Super Bowl." 😊 If memory serves, I'm pretty sure they aired both episodes back to back that night.

chandler’s line “and you left the toilet seat up, you bastard” and him throwing the water at joey was improvised. you can see jennifer aniston starting to laugh in the background

The suspicious guy talking to Ross about Marcel’s whereabouts is Dan Castelleneta, he’s the voice of Homer Simpson on “The Simpsons!”

Lisa Kudrow is a terrific mimic,. she imitates a couple of other people on the show, and she's always hilarious. Her impression here of an elderly lifelong New Yorker was pitch perfect.

Dudes falsetto was flawless this was the one time I was like “Phoebe wtf are you TALKING about” 😂

A lot of people like to rip on Ross, but when push comes to shove, as you’ve already seen, he probably does more unselfish things in important situations than any other character

The zoo janitor guy is Dan Castellaneta aka Homer Simpson. He pops up in like every show lol

When she said “ couldn’t she just copy my haircut” the joke was cus after Jennifer Aniston got this haircut it went crazy an was such a big deal, so many got it for themselves, it was a BIG thing in the 90s it’s named The Rachel . JA actually said she hated it, I dunno if that was cus of the big scene it caused or cus he just didn’t like it but that was the joke like everyone else her mom could have coped her hair Also bro you have such a payoff coming in episode 14 😁😁 #HerLobster 🥰🥰

The love interest of Phoebe is Chris Isaak ... who used that note in his big hit called "Wicked Game." The stalker was actress Brooke Shields, who first gained fame in the early 80s when she was a teenager. Fun fact, she was dating tennis star Andre Agassi at that time and supposedly he was not fond that her character was licking Matt's fingers!!

"there goes her old lady soul." not even the old lady wanted to deal with drill sergeant Monica 😂

23:42 That's Dan Castellaneta who voices Homer Simpson, Grampa Simpson, Barney Gumble, Krusty the Clown, Groundskeeper Willie and Mayor Quimby. Coincidentally in the episode when Ross gives Marcel away we saw Harry Shearer, who voices many other Simpsons characters, as the guy who tries to get Marcel for animal fighting.

People have been talking about how Friends is dated and not "politically correct", and it is in some ways. But the lesbian wedding episode broke barriers when it aired in 1996. It was the third gay marriage on TV and the FIRST lesbian wedding ever on TV. But you can still see how different it is compared to today. They didn't show the ceremony and Carol & Susan didn't even kiss. But again, we have to remember that even in the 90s things were so different. Gay marriage wasn't even legalised in New York until 2011. A fun fact though is that NBC expected a flood of phone complaints for portraying a lesbian wedding but they 'only' received 11 calls. Another fun fact is that the woman officiating the wedding is Candace Gingrich, an LGBT rights activist and sister to conservative Congressman Newt Gingrich. Matthew Perry ad-libbed (as he often did) Chandler throwing water at Joey and saying he forgot to close the toilet lid. You can clearly see Jennifer Aniston can't keep a straight face in that scene. And as a soap fan myself I can tell you that people like Erica really exist. They can't seem to separate the character from the actor. I remember Larry Hagman who played J.R. on Dallas once talked about when someone came up to him on the street and shouted "J.R. how could you do this to Sue Ellen?!" It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Chris Isaak who is the singing guy and he is well known for singing high notes just like that one. One will feature in the background in few episodes time Brooke Shields was so good as crazy Erica. Matthew Perry just jumped in to do that last one, that wasn't scripted which is probably why Jennifer Aniston is totally breaking behind him. She is definitely the one who you can see doing this the most often

The actor that gets Phoebe the job sing for kids, is a singer himself; Chris Isaak known for the song Wicked Game.

that Chandler joke is one of the best in the show I always remember it, Mathew Perry is an amazingly funny actor

These episodes aired at the beginning of 1996, VERY rare to have an LGBTQIA+ wedding on a tv show for this time considering same sex marriage was not legal in 1996. These episodes also opened the flood gates for famous people to appear on Friends with actresses Marlo Thomas, Brooke Shields and musician Chris Isaak… you’ll see in the very next episode 😉. P.S. where can I send MY 14 eyelashes to in Australia? 😃

Joey and his solo during their singing to Marcel is so funny to me lol

The guy who got Phoebe a job in a library is played by a wonderful singer, Chris Issak ( Wicked Games, Blue Hotel).

🥰Marlo Thomas, playing Rachel's mother is famous for her leading role in the '70s series "That Girl!" Also married to talk-show host Phil Donahue and spokesperson for the Children's Diabetes charity. Edited to add: so many guest stars...🤩🤩🤩 Brook Shields: child actress in Pretty Baby, Calvin Klein jeans commercial - very scandalous, and had her own series, Suddenly Susan. Chris Isaak, musician famous for "Wicked Game." And Fred Willard, comedian and game show host.

The guy who asks phoebe to sing for the children is famous singer Chris Isaak. He's best known for the song wicked game, maybe you've heard that. And at the end when she comments on his high note it's like a joke because he often sings in a really high key

Whatever you said about Ross is spot on! He can be really sweet and the best person/friend you can have but sometimes he's just worst (you'll know what i'm talking about in upcoming seasons).

The agent is Chris Isaak, his song Wicked Game is a well-deserved classic. Peace, all 💕

Please tell me you know the actor that plays Erica. If not it's Brooke Shields; she's a model/actress; I guess known for Blue Lagoon. insanely popular in the 80's.

Thank you, Oscar! ☕ The actor who played 'Sandra Green' (mother of 'Rachel') is Marlo Thomas. She was very famous in her day... starred in the sitcom THAT GIRL (1966 thru 1971) which was hugely popular. I remember my older sister had coloring books about her character. #TheCocoaCouch #ThomasSchlamme #MichaelLembeck #Friends

Marlo's father Danny had a very popular show in th 50s and 60s called Make Room for Daddy. Her brother Tony is a TV producer of many shows including The Golden Girls. The zoo guy with the info is Dan Castelletta who is the voice of Homer Simpson.

These epsiodes and the next have some great guest stars. I won't blow it for the next, but in this batch with have "That Girl" (I've never actually seen that one) as Rachel's mom.. Brooke Shields was/is a big super model/actor in this time and earlier. She even had her own show called Suddenly Susan (totally fun). And Then lastly we have Chris Isaak. He is of course a superb singer. He sings Wicked Game, which everyone seems to know.. Great song. He was also a great actor in some things I remember. He was in From The Earth to the Moon.. an HBO series about the moon landing and the lead up to it and beyond. He played Ed White, which if you know your moon landing history, died in Apollo 1 on the launch pad with Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee. You should react to that!!

That Rob fella is Chris Isaak a singer best known for his song Wicked game" which you will prob recognise!

Matthew added him throwing the water like the Q-Tip joke. He’s famous for it. RIP Matthew.

Pops up video, boom click!! always look forward to your reactions and im always like "has cocoa couch posted anything yet today" and if not i rewatch something just to get my fix lol. 😂❤

you do realise that the guy who was singing with Phoebe is Chris Isaak right? =))))

Episode 2x11 was pretty progressive at the time. I don't think gay marriage was legalized yet when that episode was aired. I might be wrong though. I love Chris Isaak cameo in 2x12 (he's a famous musician) and Brooke Shields was unhinged 😂

Phoebes love interest is a famous singer, Chris Isaak. You certainly know one of his song.

When this episode originally aired, this was the most famous and white hot the cast of Friends were. The absolute apex of their fame. The second episode was an hour long episode that aired right after the Superbowl and had the most viewership. They were more famous than movie stars at this point. One newspaper headline reviewing this particular episode had the caption: 'Friends make-out with famous people, rock stars and movie stars.' They predicted Friends had reached their peak and would drop in quality immediately and be off the air in three years. They were only off by eight years, their peak arguably was season five and they never jumped the shark. SPOILER: This series rocks.

Ross does some very nice things when it really matters, he knows what is important in the end "You left the toilet seat up, u bastard!" 🤣

I've been saying this about Susan and Carol since day one. They had an affair, then Susan got super pushy about the baby also being hers, and now they're getting married.... NO ONE would like Susan if it was a guy, but because they're lesbians everyone has to love them.

Also, it wasn’t scripted for Chandler to throw his water. Matthew perry just couldn’t resist.. you can see the girls behind him getting tickled .

For the you tube crowd, Rachel's mom is played by Marlo Thomas, daughter of Danny Thomas...she played in TV series "That Girl", and is now on the board of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital that her dad Danny originated.

okay so watching you react to this series makes me think you should react to Ted Lasso. Its only 3 seasons and I think you would love the humor and it's heartwarming storyline.

The dude who jumped into falsetto made a ton of money with that particular note. That is Chris Isaac and the song is Wicked Game (1990).

Gosh I really2 cant wait for the next 2 episodes. Both are one of my favorite episodes.

The scène betwenn Brooke Shield and the Gang was hilarious 😂

I love that the cameos fly right by you.

I honestly love the little symbolism for the wedding like Carol’s first wedding her parents gave her away to Ross and now Ross is giving her away to Susan

Brooke Shields is an amazing and very underrated actress

Joey stalker(Brooke Shields)IS hot but totally creepy....poor Joey 😂

it always tickles me when I watch people react to Friends who don't recognize the guest stars. 😂

Ross can be the most selfless, supportive guy at times. Other times he destroys any brownie points he might otherwise have earned by doing stupid sh!t too, but at least he gets his moments. This episode came out early in the struggle for marriage equality in the USA.

Today I heard Matthew Perry passed. RIP Chandler. My little bingaling.

Wait till you listen to Crusty Old Man 🪇 my favourite Phoebe song 😊

It's so funny seeing a younger person react to these not knowing who the celebrity guest stars are. Really shows how much pop culture has moved on but also makes me feel old as hell lmao I loved Chris Isaac when I was younger. His song 'wicked game' was a massive hit.

Oscar's face at Chris Isaac's voice, haha, priceless!

23:42 - That zoo worker is played by Dan Castellaneta who also voices Homer in The Simpsons.

The zookeeper who gives Ross the information is the guy who voices Homer Simpson

Bro not recognizing any of the like...4?? celebrity cameos in that last episode alone is making me feel old as hell 😂

I’ve only just noticed the Zoo guy is Phil’s dad from modern family!

when chandler threw the water that wasn’t scripted lol

2:59 yeah. that's it!

Doesn't recognize Brooke shields and Chris isaac... but knows barney. I feel old

Colin Buchanan. I met him years ago. Nice Guy 😊

Oscar not recognizing Chris Isaak, who sings the sexist song in the hottest music video ever made … then laughing at his high note is straight up hilarious 😂

Friends is one of my favorite series ever, but I have to admit the first few seasons are a bit weak, can't wait for it to reach S3-4+, in my opinion 7 and 8 have to be the best.

The janiter guy is Dan Castalaneta who is the voice of Homer and others in the Simpsons

You gotta remember this was a long time ago, gay marriage wasn't legally recognized, a lot of same sex couples didn't bother with a wedding or a commitment ceremony. That being said, I went to the wedding of my high school girlfriend when she married her wife back in the 90s, and I had a blast. 😁

Hi Cocoa Couch, I'm love this FRIENDS Season 2 Episode 12 The Actress who played Ericka She Thinks Joey is Drake Ramoray is Brooke Shields.

@thecocoacouch when Brooke Shields finished that scene, her boyfriend at the time became really angry and jealous. He was a famous tennis player I think (I could be wrong, and I can’t remember his name).

The whistleblower info guy at the zoo is the voice of Homer Simpson.

I love Susan and the way she always hits back at annoying Ross. He thinks he is always the victim just over yourself

You know the guy from the zoo? The one who told Ross the truth about the monkey? What if I tell you he´s as famous at least as the rest of the Friends cast, and possibly even more famous? I bet you won´t belive me. Well, that guy name is Dan Castellaneta, and he is the voice of Homer Simpson.

Not gonna lie, the one with the stalker and the monkey is up there among my least enjoyed episodes of the early seasons, but I'm just glad to see a video from you today 🙂

Some of this season's storylines were randomly bizarre😂

Yay I'm so early! The way I clicked so fast! ❤

it wasn't "just" a lesbian wedding, Friends showed one of the first lesbian weddings on TV

Great reaction !

The “stalker’s” husband irl did not like the scripted hand licking?!? He smashed all of his trophies and devorced her for it. As well chandler throwing water was unscripted, as well phoebes partner is chris issak who sings wicked game.

I love your reaction 😂

THE SHORT LESBIAN ASKING PHOEBE OUT...IS GREAT IN "ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK" SERIES!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Yay more friends reactions. Love your videos

I don't know why 1:41 Ross still hung up on that like he knows he carol are over

About time..was waiting for this for almost a week :)

Great stuff dude can't wait for the next one's

18:40 weird is an understatement

RACHEL'S MOM IS MARLO THOMAS (DANNY THOMAS' DAUGHTER, SHE WAS IN "THAT GIRL" IN 70'S) SHE'S MARRIED TO FAMOUS TALK SHOW HOST, PHIL DONAHUE👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤

So if i see a woman and come to the conclusion i have no shot at dating her i'm seeing her as an object? I really really need that logic explained.

I really really hope you will reconize the guest in the next épisode, Suzy.... really huge Actress...

13:45 Never a story so long and so weird was needed as context of why you're not actually being homophobic 🤣

I love this monkey episode because the next is the one with Julia Roberts and is hilarious!!

Just like Rachel's mum i went from my mums house, to my Dads house (they split up when i was 16 and i was at the age where my mum and i were constantly arguing 😅 also i didn't want my dad to be alone and my mum had my sister and brother, we only moved around the corner anyway) and then moved in with my now fiance at 18, im 35 now and have lived in the same little village since i was 2 😮 😅 I've been with my fiance ever since and that was 18yrs ago!!! 😊 I've never looked back ❤❤❤ XxXxX

the fact that you dont know Brook Shields makes me kinda sad...

For all the ways Friends hasn't aged well when it comes to LGBTQ stuff, I give them credit for what they DID do. And I stand that, for the time it came out, they pushed the limits. It was one of the first on-air LGBTQ weddings and some states didn't even allow the episode to be broadcast in their area. The wedding officiant was played by Candace Gingrich, who is LGBTQ themselves, and is the half sibling of Republican Newt Gingrich who has always been very anti-LGBTQ. So getting Candace was sort of a big push against the political climate at the time.

"studnitng your growth"??????????????? What the fuck is that even? He had an animal which he had to take care off... wtf wtf

Hi baby! The Brooke Shields episode is Very funny! Surprises is comming..

That's not a ) that's a 0

Homer simpson! Zookeeper !

I'm not sure anyone would want to see what goes on in Phoebe's mind...

15:28 they should have pointed at joey like he a player and cheater like he doesn't know or do commitment like he not good with relationships only good with the sex in the bedroom thats it
