---Great Chandler Line:
Joey (walking in, chanting): “Oh mommy, oh daddy, I am a big ol' baddy. Oh mommy, oh daddy, I am a big ol' baddy.”
Ross: “I guess he must have gotten the part in that play.”
Chandler: “Yeah, either that, or Gloria Estefan was right. Eventually, the rhythm is going to get you.”

Monica tells Pete at the ribbon cutting that she just got over a relationship, and he asks her if that wasn’t a year ago. Well, she and Richard initially broke up almost a year ago, but certainly the painful reunion she had with him six episodes ago is probably still fresh in her mind.

Was I the only who just felt so incredibly sorry for Steven Eckholdt? Until "It's Like, You Know..." came along (I was one of the few people who liked that show BTW), people would come up to him on the streets and yell at him for breaking up Ross and Rachel (he mentioned this on an episode of Later)! It must've been Hell for him for awhile.

You know, it's funny you mention that, Brian, because in the Note I placed above marking his last appearance, I almost wrote, "(Good riddance, too, he broke up Ross and Rachel.)"! I decided not to, since I feel that production info the moderator puts should not contain his own opinions and embellishments. :)

What is it with this guy playing characters that contribute to the break-up of TV couples. Here his character leds to the break up of Ross and Rachel. Last season, he appeared on Two And A Half Men and the character he played led to the break up of Charlie and Chelsea.

Note to all TV couples, if this guy shows up on your show, your relationship is doomed!

When Kate tells Joey that she saw the infomercial for a milk spout he did in which he played a man who didn't know how to pour milk, Joey stresses that he was acting, but when Kate mentions that near the end of the infomercial he choked on a cookie, Joey says that was real. Wouldn't such an incident have been edited out of the final infomercial for broadcast?

Moderator: The note above I wrote about this being the final appearance of Mark is outdated, as he made a brief appearance in a Season 10 episode. The note should be amended to read: "...until seven years in The One With Princess Consuela."
