Pete asks Monica out for pizza, and ends up taking her to Rome. The joke is supposed to underscore how rich Pete is, and perhaps to suggest where the best pizza comes from. Trust me, guys, I’ve been there. It’ a beautiful country, and I wouldn’t mind having a second home there, but they can’t make pizza worth s**t. True, this is a matter of opinion, but I challenge anyone to tell me that they actually prefer the pizza in Italy to that which you could find here.

The running gag in which Chandler is affected by the hypnosis tape--a tape that Rachel told him to play in his sleep to help him quit smoking, but which turns out to use female empowerment to do so, is hilarious.

The conclusion of that gag, when Joey tapes over it with his own message, is even funnier though.

Scary Sight: Matthew Perry, thin as a rake in a towel with his head wrapped up in another towel. Sends shivers up my spine!

I agree with Luigi: Pizza is one of those things inwented in Russia invented in Europe that is then improved in America. Much like the Harrier Jumpjet.

By contrast, the Italians do pasta very well. But then it was actually invented in China. Along with everything else.
