Friends Season 6 Episode 12 "The One with the Joke"

Hey! You're not gonna believe this.

Yes, Ross, we know they have magazines
with pictures of naked women in them.

Don't tell him about the videos!

I made up a joke
and sent it in to Playboy.

They printed it.

I didn't know they print jokes.

They print jokes, interviews,
hard-hitting journalism.

It's not just about the pictures.

Didn't work on Mom,
it's not gonna work on us.

Check it out. It's the first one.

Right there.

That is funny.

It was also funny when I made it up.

-What?
-I made that joke up.

No, you didn't. I did.

Yes, I did. I told Dan and he said it
was the funniest joke he'd ever heard.

Hey, tell Dan thanks.

What?

I was just reading the joke below it.
Man, that one is funny.

Monica, you remember me
telling you that joke, right?

-No.
-Seriously?

You tell a lot of jokes.

Look, it's my joke.

But if it makes you feel better,
they don't print the name.

So it doesn't really matter
who gets credit.

Yeah, I guess.

-Hey, guys.
-Playboy printed my joke!

No, it's mine! Call them!
They'll tell you!

-My joke!
-My joke!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Jokes? What...?

You know there's naked chicks
in there, right?

The One With The Joke

Dude! You have got to turn on
Behind The Music.

The band Heart is having a tough
time and they may break up.

Let's watch that at your place.

Monica's watching a show. I don't
want to miss when they were skinny.

Hey, Chandler?
You know what we should do?

You and I should go out
and get some new sunglasses.

What? No, I want to watch this.

-Did your cable go out?
-No. No, that's VH1.

I tell you, the music
these kids listen to today...

it's a lot of noise to me.

Why is your cable out?

Oh, because I haven't really
paid the bill.

If you need money,
would you please let me loan you some?

No, Chandler. Forget about it, okay?

I know things have been tight since
Janine moved out. God, was she hot.

I know, yeah.

Look, I can handle it, all right?
I can listen to the radio.

And Ross gave me this great book.

Want to see if the joke stealer
will let us watch at his place?

Sure.

-Paid your phone bill?
-No.

It's only you.

-What are you doing?
-Looking at a Playboy.

I want to look too!

Yikes!

Do you think these pictures
are trying to tell a story?

Sure. Like in the case
of this young woman...

she has lost her clothes.

So she rides naked on the horse,
she's crying out, "Where are they?"

She's not gonna find them,
lying in the grass like that.

Remember the days when you'd
go out to the barn...

Lift up your shirt and bend over?

You see, now, I would date this girl.

She's cute, she's outdoorsy.

And she knows how to build a fire.
That'll come in handy.

I got a question.

If you had to pick one of us to date,
who would it be?

-I don't know.
-Me neither.

Rachel.

What?

I don't know.

Me neither.

You know, you forget how many
great songs Heart had.

"Barracuda" was the first song
I learned to play on the keyboard.

So you heard it, you repeated it...

so that must mean you wrote it.

You guys with this joke.
Well, I gotta say...

I know I cracked up,
but I'm not even sure I got it.

What?

You didn't get it?

The doctor is a monkey.

And monkeys
can't write out prescriptions.

You are not allowed
to laugh at my joke.

Your joke?
