Joey makes his first appearance on the soap opera 'Days of Our Lives'

Joey Tribbiani, a good-natured but not-so-bright actor who loves food and is a womanizer, makes his first appearance on the soap opera *Days of Our Lives* as Dr. Drake Ramoray.

In the episode, Joey shares with the group a "smell-the-fart" acting tip he learned from the actress he did his first scene with. Joey's first appearance on the show-within-a-show is not without controversy, as the cast messes up the scene several times because they keep laughing at his line, "smell the fart acting".

Joey's role on *Days of Our Lives* is a fictionalized version of the real-life soap opera, and his character becomes mildly famous. However, his career on the show is short-lived, as he later shares that his character dies. Despite this, Joey continues to pursue acting roles and lands a part on another show, where he uses his catchphrase pick-up line, "How you doin'?"

Monica caters Carol and Susan's wedding

In the eleventh episode of the second season of Friends, Monica caters Carol and Susan's wedding. Monica takes on the role of caterer after the original caterer is involved in an accident. However, Monica's poor planning means that she has very little time to prepare the food, and everyone except Ross—who refuses to be involved—helps her out.

The wedding is nearly called off when Carol's parents refuse to attend, causing Carol to have second thoughts about her decision. However, Ross—who initially hesitates to see his ex-wife remarry—reverses his earlier stance, and encourages her to go ahead with the ceremony despite their opposition.

At the reception, Susan thanks Ross for his part in saving the wedding and asks him to dance. Ross initially declines but then changes his mind when Susan allows him to lead.

Carol's parents refuse to attend the wedding

Carol's parents refuse to attend her wedding to Susan, causing Carol to doubt her decision to go ahead with the ceremony. Ross, who is initially hesitant to see his ex-wife remarry, finds himself in the position of being the one to encourage her to go ahead with the wedding despite her parents' opposition.

Carol's parents' refusal to attend the wedding reflects the larger controversy surrounding gay marriage at the time. In fact, two network affiliates refused to air the episode, citing objectionable content. However, the decision drew little press attention, partly due to the small size of the markets in question. Gay and lesbian groups, notably GLAAD, decried the censorship of the episode.

Despite the controversy, Carol and Susan's wedding goes ahead, with Ross stepping in to give Carol away in place of her parents. The episode was the highest-rated television program for the week, with 31.6 million viewers.

Joey shares a 'smell-the-fart' acting tip

Joey shares a "smell-the-fart" acting tip with the group after making his first appearance on the soap opera *Days of Our Lives* as Dr. Drake Ramoray. The cast found this scene particularly amusing, and Jennifer Aniston can be seen laughing after Joey delivers his line.

The "smell-the-fart" acting tip goes as follows: when acting, imagine that the person you're performing with has just farted, and you have to smell it. This will make your eyes water, and you'll look like you're "feeling real emotion". Joey learned this tip from the actress he did his first scene with.

Joey's first appearance on *Days of Our Lives* is not without its challenges, however. In one scene, he says: "Dammit Braverman, it's on the chart", and the group later watch this scene together. Ross looks down and reaches for a glass of milk as he realises that he knocked it over with his knee. In the next shot, you can see the milk spilled on the coffee table, and Monica doesn't seem to mind. In another scene, Joey says: "That's a good point, Dr. Remore", and the group can be seen laughing in the background.

Despite these challenges, Joey's role as Dr. Drake Ramoray makes him mildly famous.

Joey Tribbiani, the good-natured but not-so-bright actor and womanizer, makes a guest star appearance on the soap opera Days of Our Lives as Dr. Drake Ramoray. Joey shares with the group a smell-the-fart acting tip he learned from the actress he did his first scene with.

In the episode, Joey's friends Ross, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, and Chandler are preparing for the wedding of Ross' ex-wife Carol and her partner Susan. Monica caters the wedding, and Phoebe becomes 'possessed' by the spirit of a recently deceased client. Rachel's mother, Sandra, also visits and announces that she is getting a divorce.

At the wedding, Joey feels powerless in a room full of lesbians. Meanwhile, Phoebe is asked for drinks by a woman who assumes that she and the late client whose spirit is possessing her are a lesbian couple.
