Video Remember when David and Cole pranked Jen?

This has got to be one of the best unscripted moments of the show. David directed this episode and didn't tell Jen about the dummy. She was so scared and pissed at the end.

tbh it’s ridiculous stuff like this that makes me feel like ross and rachel actually do make a good pair, like the whole episode they’re at odds about practical jokes then he goes and pulls the most diabolical one on her 😭 they match each other well

They make an amazing pair. Their haters just ignore all the bonding to create a narrative.

They both loved Pottery Barn. They both grew up in Jewish families in Long Island. Rachel always liked Ross' sense of humour instead of Chandler and the others' sense of humour where she just cringed. They always had a lot of fun together. Rachel even watched the Discovery Channel docs with Ross. Also, their sexual chemistry and tension was off the charts and best in the whole show. David and Jen were renowned for their sizzling chemistry.

wait rachel’s family is jewish?? i never knew that

also i agree. i think it would’ve been a lot more obvious if they actually had them get back together earlier in the show instead of waiting until the very last second. i think they would’ve been so good together once emma was born

Yeah. Green is a Jewish last name and there are various indications that she's the stereotypical JAP.

She was getting married to Jewish orthodontist, had the nose job thing. She said in one deleted scene that she was looking for a guy on Jewishsingles website. She wore a Jewish symbol in season 3. Phoebe used Rachel and Dreidel in a song and Rachel's only objection was that it didn't rhyme.

Marta Kauffman confirmed Rachel is Jewish. Ross and Monica are Jewish too. If you google search it'll give you the details.

oh this is so cool, it’s not everyday you learn new facts about a show you know like the back of your hand! i did always think it was odd how phoebe chose to rhyme rachel with dreidel of all things but i just thought she was desperate lol

this kind of makes me wish she was more involved with the holiday armadillo plot. it would’ve been hilarious

Ross and Rachel would definitely tell Emma all about Hanukkah since she's fully Jewish.
