Answer: She's didn't realise what the date was and was a few days behind. So she's saying the meat may have been a few days past their expiration or use by date and gone bad, i.e. it's questionable if you should eat it because you might get sick.

Answer: On various documentarys, it is noted that all of the cast were very close friends, to the extent that guests felt very left out during filming. To answer your question yes, they were all very close.

Answer: The actor who played Chandler's crazy roommate said that he, Matthew Perry, and Matt Le Blanc used to go to bars together at night, etc., which implies David Schwimmer didn't attend. I think Perry and Le Blanc were close friends, while Schwimmer was more of a colleague.

Chosen answer: There's a behind the scenes feature on a Friends DVD that shows an example: In "The One After Vegas"(Season 6 premiere), Chandler's line was originally "I don't think they're as much dating as they are drunk." Matthew Perry thought the line wasn't funny and came up with the alternative seen in the episode: "I don't think they're as much dating as they are two bottles of vodka walking around in human form."

Brad

Answer: I think he also came up with the line, "You have to stop the Q-tip when there's resistance."

Answer: Rachel is referring to one of the The Three Stooges, which consisted of Moe, Larry, Curly, and also Shemp. Curly Howard, the third Stooge, was later replaced by his real-life brother, who played Shemp. Curly and Shemp played the most unintelligent and bungling member of the trio.

I think she meant "chef" but made a mistake.

Answer: She meant Shemp. He was being a clumsy doofus like one of the Three Stooges and that was the one that came to mind.

Answer: I thought she said, "There's a chimp in my office."

Show generally

Question: What does the insult "Fafanapolie" mean? I don't know if it's spelled correctly but the meaning is what I really want to know.

Answer: "Va fa Napoli" means go to Naples (Joey is speaking Italian). What Joey probably meant to say was "vaffanculo" which is a very rude saying in Italian.

Shay

The saying is technically va fa in il culo (Americanized as bafangoo), which means go f*** yourself (in the a**).

Answer: "Va fa Napoli" is a well-known phrase in Italy, meaning "go to Naples." Naples is a crime-ridden city and considered only suitable for people of objectionable character.

The One With The Jellyfish - S4-E1

Question: When Ross and Rachel are fighting, Chandler hides behind the door and bursts out saying, "I knew it!" When Rachel says, "It's not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy, and it is a big deal!" is this just a Chandler moment or is there another joke I have missed?

Answer: The statements that she's contradicting (that it is common, it happens to every guy, and it's not a big deal), are the things that a woman commonly says to a man who is suffering from erectile difficulty, typically to assuage his bruised ego. However, most men do not believe that these statements are true, as evidenced by Chandler's outburst. He's so caught up in the proof that women are lying about it that he gives himself away.
