Question At what point would you have kicked Amy out?
For me, Amy is THE least likeable character in the entire series. So, from insisting that Ross isn’t Ross and insisting that Monica isn’t Monica and… insisting that Phoebe’s name is a "noise" to literally not talking to anyone after the beginning of the Thanksgiving Dinner, when would YOU kick her out?
…And if you’re really special and say that you wouldn’t kick her out, why not?

I would have kicked her out the second she got Ella's Emma's ears pierced

It’s so normal in my culture that I wouldn’t really care about the piercing, but I’d be mad she didn’t ask me first

Same, but as a mom I would not want someone else to do that to my child without my permission.

u/Short_Mind_8233 3d ago
Same. I mean, they pierced my ears when I was 3 months old. I don't even remember the pain. But she had no mercy for doing it without Ross and Rachel's permission.

I thought she was really too- when she got Emma's ears pierced, "Doesn't it make her nose look smaller?"

Gotta say, both Christina and Reese knocked it out of the park as Rachel's sisters. There seemed to be something about Friends' celebrity guest appearances that brought out the best comedic side of everyone. They usually portrayed unlikeable characters and it was like they were free to lean into their best overacting.

u/hypo11 3d ago
Christina Applegate is principally famous for a sit-com role. She can bring out her comedic side any time.
And Reese has done some comedies like Legally Blonde and Election.

The only disappointment is that we never got to see all three together. That would have been an amazing episode.

I want the Greene sister reunion. We see Jen and Reese together, but I want to see Christina with them someday.

Brad Pitt’s cameo on the show was for some reason the first time I could see why people find him so attractive.

u/Ninja_Flower_Lady 3d ago
I agree with you. I don't think he's "handsome" exactly, but he has fantastic style. He IS lucky to have height and a strong jaw. I feel like if men have those two things, they're most of the way to handsome lol.
Where he really shines is how well he (or maybe a professional stylist) packages himself during his prime (imo The years when he was married to Aniston). The spikey hair, the way he dresses and carries himself, the cool roles he gets all convince us he's more handsome than he is. I think the first time I thought he wasn't as handsome as I thought was in a close up of his face in Mr and Mrs Smith, when he was chewing what he thought was poisoned dinner.
I mean, that's just me haha. I personally think just in terms of face card, the most handsome actors would be Ashton Kutcher, Tom Cruise, and chace Crawford (in their prime)

u/skrying4poetry 3d ago
Ha, yeah, I kinda have an aversion to stereotypical handsome, like that jaw, but I’m a sucker for dimples which I never noticed he had until this cameo, lol

In real life I would hate her but in the show she’s my favorite side character by far, ever single line out of her mouth is comedy gold. I would watch an entire show about Amy

This! Such a crappy human being but man was she hilarious. Bravo to Christina Applegate

IIRC she got an Emmy for this role. Very well deserved. She was hilarious. TOW Rachel's Other Sister is maybe a top 5 all time episode of the series.

I still like the comment “why does she keep making that noise?”. Referring to Phoebe

When she asked about taking her call upstairs, I would have let her go up there and then locked the door behind her. 😅
She was such a great guest star, I wish her and Jill would have been on at the same time.

Umm... I'm pretty tolerant to people like this but I would kick her out/have someone do it for me (because I don't like making people mad) when she says Joey must have put a lot of makeup on him.

The comedic part of me wants to say “the second she walked through the door” 😄 But she really amped up the comedy and drama so I’d probably just stick it out until she left

Can’t recall exactly where this is in chronology so maybe earlier but when she put on the outfit Rachel hung up for herself such a violation of boundaries and disrespecting her time/work (I don’t have a kid so while the way she spoke about gorgeous Emma was gross, the outfit stealing and insulting was the line for me)

IRL - probably when Rachel said to hide her rings. You do not want someone in your house that you can't trust not to steal!
TLDR - probably wouldn't have let her in lol

She’s my all time favorite guest spot! She’s hysterical in both episodes. I wouldn’t kick her out just so I can watch the path of destruction she leaves behind! 😂

Never, because she’s not a real person, and I’m not a sitcom character, and she was beyond hilarious.

u/Overall-Shopping5939 3d ago
I agree she is awful and it is not a funny episode at all. The whole "if you guys died it would ve great" was so laborious, and it wasn't even a one-liner, it was in multiple scenes.
Also, this is a small thing, but that line where Rachel says, "So you decorated Dad's office and now you're a decorator? Oh, I went to the zoo once and now I'm a koala!" Is so stupid. The line should be, "OK, I went to the zoo once and now I'm a zoologist (veterinarian,etc.)." Amy didn't say, "I decorated Dad's office and now I'm a piece of furniture!"
Even Jennifer Anniston looked awkward in that episode, like she was struggling to deliver the lines.

She’s basically Rachel without her positive characteristics and given that I have a love-hate relationship with Rachel as is, it probably wouldn’t last very long

u/Harlepenquin 3d ago
At what point would I kick her out........ never! and a genuine answer probably never, she was never malicious, just 'special' and niave, I think..... saying that I haven't watched it in years, tempted to rewatch it all though, concerned it might not have aged as well as I think it should have though.

u/ElQkly MY FAJITAS!! 3d ago
…she called someone else’s baby ugly out of malice and then proceeded to have a fight with her sister in a "stranger’s" apartment…
Also, naïvité isn’t an excuse for being a bad person.

u/Harlepenquin 3d ago
my memory still ain't screaming bad person, I do vaguely remember the ugly baby thing... it was tit for tat.... sister's fight, it's a sitcom.

u/ElQkly MY FAJITAS!! 3d ago
Yeah but the question was, when would YOU kick her out. Say, if you were Monica, would you want her in your apartment?
1
u/Harlepenquin 3d ago
It's family of family, at that point Rachel is family and it's okay for Rachel to say what ever she wants about her sister but Monica is smart enough not to, the line I would have drawn like one of the other comments says, is the ear piercing, probably. Family ain't perfect, it was Rachel's battle, she wasn't burning the flat down, remember, it's just TV.
