}}The One with the Monkey is the tenth episode of the NBC television series Friends. It is the tenth episode of the show's first season and was broadcast on December 15, 1994.[1]

Plot

In order to curb his loneliness after his divorce, Ross adopts a capuchin monkey he's named Marcel. Things start off on rocky footing - Marcel seems rebellious and unwilling to listen to Ross. However, Chandler bonds with him almost immediately.

Phoebe sings 13 new songs she's written - 12 about her mother's suicide, one about a snowman (that ends up being about her mother's suicide). During her set, she's interrupted by two scientists arguing about the most beautiful woman they've ever seen. She goes to confront them, and finds out that one of them - David - thinks that she is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. His partner, Max, begs to differ and says that title belongs to Daryl Hannah. Phoebe and David begin dating.

With New Year's fast approaching, the gang decides to make a no-date pact, which they all break: Phoebe brings David, Rachel plans to bring Paolo, Monica invites old boyfriend Fun Bobby, Joey asks Sandy (a single mom he meets while working as one of Santa's elves at the mall), Ross brings Marcel, and Chandler snaps and asks Janice.

The six friends end up keeping their no-date pact after all. Phoebe learns that David has gotten a grant to study in Minsk for three years, and convinces him to go.[1] Paolo has missed his flight, and Rachel gets attacked outside of the airport by a woman who thinks Rachel has stolen her cab. Fun Bobby is depressed because his grandfather has just died. Sandy not only brings her kids to the party, but she hooks up with Max. Chandler breaks up with Janice, when reminded just how irritating she can be.

At midnight, Phoebe is too sad to kiss anyone, Rachel's lip was cut in the attack so she can't kiss anyone, and Monica doesn't feel like kissing anybody. Chandler demands someone kiss him anyway - so Joey obliges.

 

Reception

Entertainment Weekly gave the episode a B, saying the episode introduces the monkey that was "perhaps Friends biggest blunder - forcing Schwimmer to do comedy opposite a simian is beneath him." The episode "illustrates the writer' tendency to overplot" (such as having Rachel get into a catfight at the airport), "and the multiple story lines never quite jell. Still, any ep that gives Phoebe center stage gets bumped up a grade."[2]

Sam Ashurst from Digital Spy ranked it #120 on their ranking of the 236 Friends episodes, and called it a "strong, early episode".[3]

Telegraph & Argus wrote that the show stealer was Chandler's line "You don't have to face the horrible pressures of this holiday: desperate scramble to find anything with lips just so you can have someone to kiss when the ball drops!! Man, I'm talking loud!"[4]

Distractify ranked it the number one Friends Christmas episode.[5]
