The One with the Free Porn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The One With The Free Porn" is the seventeenth episode of season four of the television situation comedy Friends.
[edit] Plot
In the teaser, Joey and Chandler, still in Monica's apartment (see The One With the Embryos), flip channels on their television and discover a pornography channel that is normally pay-per-view. The Super, Mr. Treeger, who has had the same experience, tells that turning the TV off will probably cause them to lose the channel, so it remains on throughout the episode and is occasionally referenced in other subplots. Joey also develops an unexpected taste for Toblerone chocolate (Emily's).
Phoebe is reminded by the porn channel that she needs to see her OB/GYN in relation to her pregnancy (see The One With Phoebe's Uterus); she discovers that she's carrying triplets. The babies' parents, Frank Jr. and Alice, are thrilled, but Frank Jr. will have to drop out of refrigerator college to support his new children. This leads to Phoebe attempting to make a few quick bucks as a knife salesman (and also by starting a Saturn dealership), but Rachel provides the brainstorm: they should form a combination taxi and massage parlor service by installing Phoebe's massage table in the van from Monica's short-lived catering business. Frank Jr. will drive, and Rachel will provide the name: Relaxicab. No, says Phoebe, Relaxi-Taxi is better.
Ross Geller mopes over the end of his two-week fling with Emily Waltham, who is flying back to London. Monica urges him to confess his love for her at the airport boarding gate, but Emily's response is less than enthusiastic: "Oh. Thank you." After she arrives, she gives him a disturbing phone call: there's another man, someone named Colin. Ross, desperate, travels to London himself, and spends an unhappy night outside Emily's apartment, which she does not return to. Unexpectedly, she turns up: outside Monica's apartment. Ross isn't at his place; does anyone know where he is? Across the Atlantic, Ross overhears Emily's answerphone: it's Emily, trying to tell him that she loves him too. Ross scrambles to a nearby telephone kiosk and intercepts her with call waiting. "Ross, I love you!" "Oh! Thank you."

[edit] Trivia
- This was the only Friends episode that was issued a certificate of 15. All other Friends episodes were either a PG or a 12. This was most likely due to Chandler and Joey getting free porn in the episode, a small clip of the porn was shown but it didn't include any nudity.
- The message on the Magna Doodle says "Clean bathroom" and later on "Knock, knock, who's there? PORN!"
