Joey

JOEY: We gotta spending limit on the date, I cant take her to a fancy place like that .
ROSS: Well, Sorry. That's what I do on dates.
JOEY: (By streching hands)Well, I guess I'll just do what I do on dates.
ROSS: So, Let's decide on spending limits.
JOEY: $6 ?
ROSS: I was thinking more like $100 .
JOEY: Okay... Can I borrow $94?

Joey comes from an Italian-American family. He is the only male of eight children, his seven sisters are Gina, Dina, Mary Angela, Mary Therese, Veronica, Cookie and Tina. Joey is a "stereotypical" actor: oversexed, under-educated and constantly looking for work.

Joey is extremely promiscuos with women. When Chandler ask Joey, "You've had a lot of sex, right?", to which Joey replies, "Today? Some ... not a lot."
He sleeps with many of the interns and extras on shows on which he works. He has apparently been sexually active for a very long time; he undid a 16-year-old girl's bra when he was nine, slept with his teacher in the seventh grade, and he had a wild spring break when he was 13. He is very charming to all women but can never seem to get into a committed relationship.

ROSS: I'm kind of going through a dry spell, sex wise...
JOEY: oh, for like , months ?
ROSS: Five to be... lying... Six...
JOEY: Six ? That's rough..
ROSS: It's not all bad, I'm learning to appreciate the small things like the sound of a bird and like the colour of the sky .
JOEY: The sky's blue ross and I had sex last night.

Apart from women, Joey loves food. Particularly meatballs and sandwiches. When he was asked if he would give up sex or food he had trouble deciding. He seems to be a little... stupid sometimes... but that makes him hilarious.

DOCTOR: Mr. Tribbiani, I'm afraid you've got kidney stones.
JOEY: Umm, well, what else could it be?
DOCTOR: It's kidney stones.
JOEY: Or?
DOCTOR: Kidney stones!
ROSS: (entering) Hey! I just heard. What's up?
DOCTOR: Kidney stones! Now, ordinarily Mr. Tribbiani, we try to break up the stones up with shock waves, but they're to close to the bladder now. Which means we can either wait for you to pass them or else go up the urethra…
JOEY: (interrupting) Whoa-whoa! No-no-no-no-no, nothing is going up! Okay? Up, up is not an option... what's a urethra? (Monica whispers what it is in his ear.) Are you crazy?!




Joey was also employed at Central Perk as a waiter. Facing a dry spell in his career as an actor, Joey was persuaded by Gunther to take a job serving coffee. He did not like the work but soon found a way to use his position to meet and ingratiate himself to attractive women by giving them free food, a practice to which Gunther quickly put a stop. Joey didn't take his job very seriously and spent a lot of his working hours sitting and talking to his friends. Eventually he was fired for closing the coffeehouse in the middle of the day to go to an audition while Gunther was running a personal errand. Rachel later persuaded Gunther to give Joey back his job, but once Joey found more steady acting jobs he eventually just stopped showing up. His absence was barely noticed. In a later episode, Joey realizes he forgot to tell Gunther he quit, to which Gunther replied that he would've eventually fired him anyway.














"If I don't get this part, I'm never gonna eat macaroni and cheese again.. (after a second) I didn't say that.. That doesn't count!" Joey (who, by the way, DOESN'T SHARE FOOD)


great guy!
