The end of this season is so amazing haha ! And yes Chandler and Monica unbelievable 🙃

Stacey

The guy that sold Joey the hat was sir Richard Branson. Iv been waiting for these reactions it's the middle of the night here in New Zealand but I'm watching this before I go to sleep

thorreacts

It was just so good! Monica and Chandler was such a wild surprise haha, although I do the writers set it up at the same time... really well executed twist/ escalation!

thorreacts

I missed that! And don't lose too much sleep haha :) hope you enjoy!

Manon Savary

Yes and you’re not ready for the future haha so excited to see more 😍

maxmamax

these two wedding eposides are full of surprises! the cliffhanger at the end, the whole thing between Chandler and Monica such a game changer for the series. I'm glad I watched this show when I can jump to season 5 right after this cause I can't imagine how peoples can wait for such a long time until new season came along back in 1998🤣

Stacey

The first take of that scene with monica popping out of the covers the live audience went so crazy for ages and the producers and directors just let them go until they finally calmed down then had to retake the scene lol such a great surprised. And Hugh Laurie's cameo is second only to robin williams and billy crystal

Stacey

Waiting after that cliffhanger was torture when it aired lol

thorreacts

"Game Changer" is so spot on! And I couldn't agree more, can't imagine having to wait that long...

LP

i remember watching it live in 1998, the screams across america at that cliffhanger were deafening haha. it was an absolutely bonkers pop culture moment.

LP

p.s. your breakdown of chandler and monica was spot on! season 5 is so so fun

A_Ig

This is a reaction that I will be replaying many times over the weekend😂 Strong season 4 ending.

Laura

This is such a pivotal point in the whole series. So well written - they really took everything leading up to this episode (relationship-wise between so many people) into consideration to really have things make sense to why things might have happened the way they did. Are you planning on watching the HBO reunion special after you finish the series? I really liked it. Got me all choked up 🥲. Random - Jennifer Saunders (Mrs. Waltham), among alot more that I'm not really familiar with, was the voice (speaking and singing) of the Fairy Godmother in Shrek 2!

Manon Savary

Yes I Know that haha I am a big fan of Friends 🥰

Erik Jørgensen

That women you see in video whit Joey is Fergie she was marrid whit prince Andrew until 1996 and have 2 daughter whit him

Jeanette Dawe

I was waiting for you to get to these two episodes my all time favourites. Chandler and Monica are just amazing lol

Heida

I cannot tell you how long I have been waiting for your reaction to the finale, especially the wedding and Chandler & Monica! It's arguably one of the best finales on any TV show ever. Imagine having to wait months after that cliffhanger! Rachel has often times been shown as quite selfish, such as going to London with the intention of ruining Ross' wedding. But when she sees Ross & Emily together and decides not to say anything, that is the most selfless thing she's ever done. Regarding Chandler and Monica, you're right, they definitely hinted at them being together in the S3 finale. But even since S1 in the episode where Carol gave birth to Ben (Sidenote: Isn't it odd that Ben wasn't at the wedding?) and Chandler suggested they get married if neither of them are married by the time they're 40. But the actors' chemistry was first really recognized in S2E7 "The One Where Ross Finds Out" where Monica becomes Chandler's personal trainer. Fun facts: While Ross' "I take thee Rachel" was not exactly improvised on the spot, it wasn't originally in the script. The idea came when David Schwimmer messed up a line in an earlier scene. They had no idea how to end the wedding until that moment. The scene with the Chandler and Monica reveal, Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox had to hold the same position for 27 seconds and then re-shoot the scene because the audience screamed for such a long time. All the outdoor scenes were filmed on location in London while the indoor scenes were filmed in front of a British studio audience. When filming ran late one evening the production team ordered pizzas for the audience. The set used for Ross and Emily's wedding is the set that was used for Carol and Susan's wedding. It would also inspire the location of David and Victoria Beckham's IRL wedding. Before these episodes aired, Elliott Gould (Jack Geller) accidentally let it slip that Rachel would turn up at the wedding, which upset creator/writer Marta Kauffman. Lisa Kudrow gave birth to her son, Julian, on May 7th 1998, the same day episode 23 aired. Guest stars/cameos: The woman in Joey's video complimenting his hat is Sarah 'Fergie' Ferguson, also known as the former Duchess of York. She was married to Prince Andrew (King Charles' brother) and is the mother of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. The hat salesman is played by Sir Richard Branson, the man who created the Virgin Group (Virgin Records, Virgin Atlantic Airways, etc.). The plane Rachel is on is from Virgin Airlines. The man coughing in front of Joey and Chandler on the bus is show creator and director Kevin Bright and the woman sat behind Chandler is fellow creator Marta Kauffman. Olivia Williams who plays Felicity, the bridesmaid Joey hooks up with, played the wife in The Sixth Sense. Hugh Laurie was in the live action 101 Dalmatians and Stuart Little for example. I grew up with those movies. He absolutely killed it in this cameo!

thorreacts

Such a strong ending, I definitely enjoyed rewatching as I edited too

thorreacts

Yes! I will be watching the reunion once I'm finished with the show! And she voices the Fairy Godmother, one of the best animated villains ever?! Wow, now wonder she's amazing even in her brief role in this episode, what a talented actress!

thorreacts

Wait really? I had no idea she was someone famous!

thorreacts

The reveal in bed has got to be one of my favorite surprises of the whole show

Susan Stork

Wow, all great info. I knew Sarah, Hugh and Richard Branson. But didn't know or notice the show''s creators on the plane. I'll have to look close when I watch this reaction. Thanks!

thorreacts

You shared so many interesting facts/ details here, but some of them are just absolutely crazy. And I'm so happy I don't have to wait to see what happens after this ending... First, I love the early connections you made with the chemistry between Monica and Chandler, the personal trainer episode was super funny (I love the closing joke with Chandler persuading Monica to submit to sadness) and they had a great dynamic. Also I forgot about the deal they had about marrying each other if they were both single at 40. I love how far back you can trace the hints, thanks for helping connect the dots further. And yeah, Rachel may be flawed but at the end of the day she proved how good of a person she really was in this episode. I love how conflicted and sad Jennifer Aniston looks as she accepts that Ross will never be hers, it really sells what a sacrifice it is to give up someone you desperately love. But the wildest fact: The ending of this season was semi-improvised?! I can barely wrap my head around that haha. It was such a perfect moment/ dramatic ending here I was praising the writers, but the fact that it's practically an accident... I mean, that's like Shakespeare knocking over his ink only to find the words "To be or not to be" spelled out on the page (ok, fairly dramatic exaggeration). I honestly can't imagine a more perfect ending to this season, and I also can't imagine ending this episode without that line. It would absolutely be missing a major piece to what made it all work... so glad to learn about this I would never have guessed, it's fascinating! Also, I wish I could see the original take of the reveal of Chandler and Monica with the audience going wild, even though I definitely understand not airing that one.

Susan Stork

Jennifer Saunders also stars in one of my favorite British comedies, Absolutely Fabulous. If no one has seen it, it is hysterical. She's so good and funny in that if not sometimes offensive! Great show

x_Rhi_x

The guy who sells joey the union jack hat is also Richard Branson, owner of Virgin :)

Laura

I've heard of it randomly here and there but haven't seen it. I'd love to though! There are so many British shows that aren't as known over here in the U.S. that so many people would love! I also love alot of sketch stuff, so I loved Little Britain. :)

Laura

Great! You'll love it. This show has so many great cameos/side characters/background...all of it. It's amazing with just the 6 main characters, but everything/everyone else adds even more. It's so well put together, so well acted and overall relatable that it's just palpable. It's why it's such a favorite and holds such a special place for people, whether you're new to it or have seen it 6x over the last 20 years. For Jennifer Saunders, I'm sure if you go back and watch Shrek 2 now so soon after watching this, you'll pick right up on her voice. There's no difference 😆

Liam

AHH I loved this! Can't wait to see you react to Season 5, one of my personal favourite of all the seasons <3

Susan Stork

Yes, I love British comedies and shows more than anything else. Absolutely Fabulous is funny and irreverent and just fun, for me. So, if you ever get the opportunity to watch it, you should take it.

Tara ✨💫

Nick, if you were able to stop at the finale and didn’t jump right into recording the next two episodes, I have to give you props. I HATE waiting!! I have a bad habit of saying “one more episode” when I’m watching a show that I can binge, even when it’s 1:00am and I have to be up in a few hours. I ended up watching your reaction all the way through a couple times and will be watching the next couple episodes because I don’t want to wait again! Watching this in 1998 was unbearable. I had forgotten that it ended so abruptly. I forgot we had to wait. If I remember correctly, they will replay what Ross says at the beginning of the next episode and then see what happens. I loved Jennifer Aniston in these episodes , I remember being so nervous about what she was going to do when she got there. I also loved the scenes with her and Phoebe. We don’t see the two of them often and it was so incredible when Rachel realized her feelings in the first episode. I felt so badly for Lisa Kudrow that she was the only one who had to stay back. Yes, it’s true that women shouldn’t fly in their third trimester in case something happens and they are in an airplane.

Erika

i am loving how much you’re loving these episodes. buffy brought me to you 100% but all of your movie/friends reactions make my day! but THIS finale….brother….the way i never expected all of those twists. the ross rachel name drop…holy hannah. just like you, i knew SOMETHING had to happen but just assumed rachel would eventually speak out…but the fact it was Ross….unprompted… wow 🤌

Stacey

On YouTube they have all the bloopers seperated by seasons. I'd love you to react to each seasons bloopers at some point. They are so much fun.

Andrea Winston

What an incredibly satisfying reaction!! This is one of my favorite episodes of Friends and I've so been looking forward to your reaction/commentary. You didn't disappoint. In my opinion this is one of the most shocking sitcom finales of all time. Between Chandler and Monica and Ross saying "Rachel." I was 9 when this aired and I still remember the shock haha. Looking forward to your future reactions on my favorite, season 5.

Brandi Davis

I have been waiting since Season 1 Episode 1 for your face at the exact moment he said Rachel....

Mary Kate

It's still startling to me to see you watching the TV version and not the DVD version, since that's the one I used to watch on repeat. In the DVD version you actually see Emily and Monica's conversation on postponing the wedding. There's also another beat at the airport where Rachel tries to pay less for her ticket and the lady says "They'd prefer it if I don't barter." Then when Phoebe calls Mrs. Waltham she asks how she got her number and Phoebe says "I got it from your housekeeper. She's a real bitch but I wore her down." I don't know if there's any way to watch the DVD versions but I can't help but miss these little moments!

Ludwvin Martinez

By the way, Cheers is one of the great sitcoms of the 80's. Probably the best of that era, and certainly one of my 3 favorites alongside Seinfeld and Friends.

I remember there was a whole fanfiction "series", written in script-format, that had it's own website and was quite popular at the time. I can't remember exactly when it was written but I think it was during season four (and I know it at least began before this episode aired). It started with a finale episode to the main show (and actually had the same title as the real series finale to "Friends") but then the rest of it was written like a spin-off show. It was called "Chandler and Monica" and IIRC the plot revolved around them moving in together and running Central Perk. I remember I really liked it at the time, but it's probably been around 20 years since I last read it - if not longer. Chandler and Monica was actually a hugely popular pairing within the fandom long before this episode came about, and I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why they ended up in bed together was because the producers/writers noticed that a large portion of the fanbase wanted them to be together.

imagine having to wait for the next season after this absolute bombshell

Viera Galikova

Monica's "perfect wedding dream" ... it seems like it wasn't allowed in the 90s to actually show a wedding that's really cheap and small and yet also romantic. the wedding industry was only becoming as expensive as it is today in usa, but this type of propagating it was everywhere on tv.

Ryan Towell

Hugh Laurie (Dr House) wasn't really a cameo, House started about 5-6 years after this episode. Prior to this episode he mainly did parts on British TV.
