Joseph Francis “JOEY” Tribbiani Jr.
“How you doin’?” I am damn sure you
read it in its iconic tone. That’s the Joey effect. Every girl who is a fan of
friends at least for once wishes to hear these words from the mouth of Joey
Tribbiani himself. I don’t know if it weren’t for Matt LeBlanc who would have played this part. He was born to play
Joey or maybe this character was written to be played by him.
Joey is an actor by profession, popularly known for
playing Dr. Drake in ‘Days of our lives’. He is an obvious, absolute foodie who
abides by the golden rule- Live to eat rather than eat to live. Moreover,he doesn’t share food and not to forget
‘the Joey special’ – two pizzas that he loves.Apart from being a food lover he
is also a womaniser (not offensive though, sweet enough) who attracts women
with his catchphrase ‘‘how you doin’?’’ (This went on to become one of the
greatest pickup lines in the television history). How can one forget the scene
where he is asked whether he’d give up food or sex? And ended up having trouble
deciding which, eventually yelling “I want girls on bread”
Isn’t it quite evident that he is one of the most
understanding one among his friends and also maybe the most sensible one too (When
once a broken radiator led to Monica’ Christmas party become a heat, sweat
party and no one had any idea what to do. Joey walked in and turned the main
switch off in an obvious manner that left the others in shock). It is
inevitable to forget his and Chandler’s bromance. As it is said before Mandler
(Monica+Chandler) it was Jandler (or Chanoey). These two are friendship goals for life.
They even had a chick and Duck together (how cute). Ross is his second best
friend. He made sure to date Rachel only if Ross was okay with it. He acts as a
saviour to Monica and Chandler by humiliating himself in the beginning of their
budding romance and helps them keep it a secret. He even broke up with Janine just because she disliked
Monica and Chandler. Phoebe is his best female pal. He gave up meat as
compensation when she was pregnant so she could eat it with no extra cows being
killed. Alsohe was the one who set her up with Mike. Rachel once moved into his
apartment when phoebe’s house
caught
fire but stayed back even afterher apartment was renovated because it was fun
being with him. Also remember when they try to kiss but are unable to do so
because they realise how good friends they are than being a couple. All this
shows how much his friends meantto
him. They are his family.
Lastly, how can I forgetto mention how he made the “MOO
POINT” a thing? “Yeah, it’s like a cow’s opinion. It just doesn’t matter. It is
moo”
He is certainly the cutest and my favourite one among the
group. I wish everyone learns to live life like that of Joey- live carefree;
eat carefree no matter where or with whom you are. For Joey doesn’t care,
that’s the way he is. At the end he always brought a smile to our face and how
badly we wish to befriendsomeone like him.
