The One After Vegas: Ross and Rachel wake up in bed together, remembering almost nothing about the night before. At breakfast, their friends ask them about it. Shocked, they decide to get an annulment once they\’re back in New York. Ross tells Rachel he\’s taken care of it, but he hasn\’t. Neither Chandler nor Monica wants to go through with their own marriage plans, but each one is scared to back out. They decide to look for another sign… but even though the signs keep coming, they keep denying it. Finally, Chandler suggests they live together. Joey (who still has Phoebe\’s cab) convinces her to keep him company on the drive home. He promises to make it a fun road trip, but he ends up sleeping most the time.

The One Where Joey Loses His Insurance: Rachel packs her things and moves to Ross\’s apartment. Once there, she intercepts a phone call from Ross\’s lawyer revealing they\’re still married. Phoebe\’s psychic tells her she\’s going to die this week. Ross becomes a guest lecturer at NYU. He\’s so worried his presentation won\’t go well that he panics and presents it with an phony English accent. Joey\’s medical benefits lapse because he hasn\’t done enough acting recently. He contacts his agent, Estelle (who mistakenly believes he\’d gone to another agent), to arrange for some auditions. He gets a severe hernia before auditioning, but refuses to go to the hospital until he has insurance again.

The One With Ross\’s Teeth: Phoebe visits Rachel at work and makes out with Kenny the copy boy, thinking it\’s Ralph Lauren. She tells Rachel, who gossips to her boss (Kim), who eventually becomes convinced that Rachel is having an affair with Ralph Lauren in order to get Kim\’s job. Ross goes too far when he whitens his teeth in preparation for a date with Hillary, Monica\’s co-worker. Chandler tries to convince Joey that he\’s letting Janine make him and the apartment too girly.

The One With The Apothecary Table: Rachel buys furniture from Pottery Barn, but tells Phoebe she got it at a flea market, because Phoebe hates Pottery Barn. The deception is complicated by the fact that Ross buys an identical table from Pottery Barn. Joey and Janine spend time with Monica and Chandler; Janine doesn\’t like hanging out with them, and hard feelings grow and grow until Joey and Janine break up and Janine moves out.

The One Where Chandler Can\’t Cry: Unable to handle the idea of Ross and Jill together, Rachel asks Ross to stop seeing Jill. Jill is upset and throws herself at Ross, attempting to use him to get back at Rachel. Chandler doesn\’t cry in sad movies… or for any other reason. The gang discovers that Ursula is making porn movies in Phoebe\’s name.

The One With Unagi: Joey\’s financial needs aren\’t being met by his job at the coffee house, so he looks into participating in another medical study. The only one available is for identical twins, but it pays so much that Joey can\’t resist. He hires another actor to play his twin brother. Rachel and Phoebe are taking a self-defense class, but Ross feels they don\’t have Unagi, a state of total awareness, in which you can be prepared for any danger. He startles them in the hallway to prove his point, which sets off an on-going competition of psuedo-attacks. Chandler and Monica plan to celebrate Valentines day (late) by making gifts for each other. Chandler can\’t make anything and Monica forgets until the last minute. Chandler gives Monica a customized tape of music which actually was a previous gift from Janice; Monica give him a sock puppet that Phoebe made.

The One Where Ross Meets Elizabeth\’s Dad: Joey doesn\’t get along well with the roboticist (Wayne) who controls his co-star, \”C.H.E.E.S.E.\” To save himself from being fired, he teaches Wayne how to talk with women. Phoebe writes a book about relationships, which is really a book about Monica and Chandler, and everything they do. Ross meets Elizabeth\’s dad (Paul), who really doesn\’t approve of his daughter dating an older man. Paul and Rachel start dating. The gang\’s attempts to make Ross look good for Paul continually backfire.

The One With The Ring: Chandler picks out an engagement ring for Monica, with Phoebe\’s help. Unfortunately, someone else buys the ring before Chandler has a chance to. He has to convince the other buyer to trade rings with him. Meanwhile, Joey and Ross are feeling brushed-off because Chandler isn\’t hanging out with them. Phoebe makes matters worse by suggesting that Chandler is angry with them. Rachel tries to get Paul to open up and express his feelings. She gets more than she expects and can\’t turn it off… so she dumps him.

The One With All The Kissing: Monica and Chandler try to keep their relationship hidden: When Joey comes into the bathroom, Monica has to duck under the bubbles in the tub; Chandler accidentally kisses Monica good-bye in from of the others, so then has to kiss all the girls. Phoebe is irked by all the fun she missed in London; the others decide to take her on a picnic to Central Park, but since that idea sucks they plan a weekend in Atlantic City; just as they\’re leaving, her water breaks. Rachel, back from Greece and angry about the bad choices she\’s made recently, gives decision making control of her love-life to Monica. This arrangement is strained to the breaking point when Rachel wants to tell Ross she still loves him, but Monica won\’t let her. Ross plans to win back Emily by sending romantic gifts.

The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS: Rachel catches Monica waiting seductively in her bedroom for Chandler; to cover, Monica tells Rachel she\’s seeing a guy from work. Monica tells Rachel that her new boyfriend is the best sex she\’s ever had, and when Chandler hears this he gets a little too proud of himself. Ross finally gets Emily on the phone and they begin planning to work things out; Emily agrees to come to New York but only if Ross doesn\’t see Rachel anymore. After much agonizing, Ross agrees. Joey gets involved with a PBS pledge drive, believing he\’s the host; but he\’s only a phone jockey and not even on camera. Phoebe reveals her hatred for PBS, which started because she never got an answer to a letter she wrote to Sesame Street after her mom died. Joey and Phoebe argue about whether any truly selfless good deeds exist, so Phoebe tries repeatedly to find one.

The One With All The Thanksgivings: After Thanksgiving dinner at Monica\’s, the gang tells stories about their worst Thanksgivings ever. In a series of flashbacks, we see Chandler learning of his parent\’s divorce (1978); Phoebe losing an arm (twice) in past lives (1862 and\’15); Joey with his head in a turkey (1992); Chandler hurting Monica\’s feelings (1987); and Monica getting a little more revenge than she planned, when Chandler loses a toe (1988).

The One With The Inappropriate Sister: Because of his boredom while away from work, Ross offers to help Joey focus on writing a movie. Things get a little tense, however, when Ross wants Joey to work and Chandler wants to play \’Fireball.\’ Phoebe volunteers to collect Christmas donations for the poor, but ends up getting a bucket full of unwanted \’contributions,\’ so she gets tough with the donors. Monica arranges for Rachel and Danny to go out. It seems to be going very well until Rachel discovers that Danny has an unusually close relationship with his sister, Krista.

The One With Joey\’s Bag: Chandler finds out Monica gives terrible massages but doesn\’t want to tell her. When the truth comes out, Monica has a hard time accepting it. Joey is auditioning for a sophisticated part in a play, so Rachel offers to help him look the part. She outfits him at Bloomingdales, and part of the ensemble is a \”man\’s bag,\” which bears a striking resemblence to a purse. Unfortunately, Joey\’s devotion to the bag ends up costing him the audition. Phoebe\’s grandmother dies; Ursula, who thought grandma was already dead, skips the memorial. The memorial does have one unexpected guest, however–Phoebe\’s father. Without revealing her true identify, she arranges to meet with him later, at which time she reveals the truth… but things are still a little awkward.

The One With The Cop: Joey has a dream that Monica is his girlfriend; Monica tells him it just means he wants a relationship with the closeness that he sees between herself and Chandler. She suggests he try being friends with a woman before being intimate. After hitting on Rachel (unsuccessfully), Joey tries to make friends with new women; but they find his \”friends first\” approach so enticing that they want the intimacy immediately. Phoebe finds a police badge under a cushion at the coffee house. She plans to return it but has too much fun pretending to be a cop… until she pulls it on the actual owner of the badge. She drops the badge and runs away; he tracks her down and asks her on a date. Ross buys a new sofa (couch), but can\’t get it up the stairs to his apartment.

The One With The Ride-Along: Ross, Joey, and Chandler go on a ride-along with Gary; thinking a car back-fire is actually a gunshot, Joey dives and protects Ross from harm. Chandler is upset that Joey chose to protect Ross… until he learns that Joey was really trying to protect his sandwich. While getting Margarita fixings as Ross\’ apartment, Rachel overhears Emily–who is getting married the next day–leaving a message, wondering if their break-up was a mistake. Monica and Rachel debate about what to do, and Rachel accidentally erases the message. She stays and waits for Ross to return so she can tell him.

The One In Vegas, Part 2: Ross and Rachel arrive at the casino, where Rachel quickly learns she is \”a human doodle\”. The ink won\’t come off, so she and Ross spend the day hiding in the hotel room, raiding the mini-bar. Once they\’re completely drunk, Rachel finally agrees to go back down to the casino–after she draws on Ross\’ face. Phoebe, playing the slots, is plagued by a lurker: An elderly woman who follows her around, waiting for her to give up a machine that hasn\’t paid out, then takes over and hits the jackpot (a strategy with absolutely no basis in the laws of probability). She decides to out-lurk the lurker; but during a confrontation with her, Phoebe gets thrown out of the casino. Joey tries to persuade his identical hand twin that they should go into show business. He becomes such a nuisance that he gets thrown out, too. Chandler makes a scene to get Monica\’s attention. They make up, and Monica continues her winning streak playing craps. Chandler says if she rolls another hard eight, they\’ll get married. The dice bounce off the table and the roll is disqualified; one die shows a four, the other is on it\’s edge between four and five. Chander decides it\’s a four. They arrive at the wedding chapel and are waiting for the previous service to end, when the chapel doors fly open and out walk the drunken Ross and Rachel, newly married.

The Successful Way to Become A Stand-Up Comedian

January 7, 2010 by Hank Evans  
Filed under Comedians

It takes more than just talent to make people laugh. That is why if you are thinking of becoming a stand up comedian you also have to be gutsy because being on stage in front of a huge crowd can be intimidating. You also have to be smart because you can?t make people laugh if you don?t have anything in your brain at all.

If you are serious in making a career out of your talent, always have with you a pen and paper so you can jot down any witty joke that comes to your mind. At the end of the day, you can review what you’ve written down.

Although you are supposed to write down all the funny things you come across with, it should not delimit you as a performer. As a professional, it is important to deliver lines naturally. Study your lines well, including the ad lib before you take on the stage. Nothing can be more embarrassing than to stay and stay not knowing what to say or do.

Before going onstage, know whom you are performing for so that you can come up with an appropriate setting. Do not belittle your audience and do not act superior to them because it is embarrassing if the audience dislikes you.

Keep in mind that even before you start opening your mouth, your audience may already have formed an opinion about you, but don’t let it intimidate you. Approach the crowd with extreme confidence but without appearing showy. Take control of the situation and make your audience feel relaxed and comfortable.

It usually happens with professional comedians to have performances on the same location many times during the week. If you happen to experience this, too, just make sure that you have something different to show every time in order to keep your audience out of boredom. There are different styles that you can assume, so don’t be afraid to try one style to another. Practice making a joke out of anything as this helps you to develop your sense of humor.

If you are not taking charge of the situation, you will begin to lose your audience’s confidence, and you certainly wouldn’t want that; else you’d just have to consider getting a career change instead.

Pursuing a career as a comedian is not a joke. Practicing and learning how to deliver a joke with the right timing are very significant to a good comedian. You have to be prepared because it is going to be a long way for you to go and the pay sometimes is not as rewarding as the effort. Stay funny and know what makes your audience laugh; then, you will be fulfilling your goals soon.
