Friends
Chances are you have n’t heard ofJoeybefore . This spin - off was created to be something in line with whatFrasierhad been withCheers , but break to have any wit of its own . Joeyhad none of thebromance momentscompared to other funniness released around the same time , and was criticized for being largely discrepant to how Joey had antecedently been established .
Even fifteen year after this show debuted , devotee like to feign it never existed so that we can just go back to thinking the Joey we had onFriendswas the only variation of the reference that live . For you to know why this bitterness is so strong , here are 10 inconsistenciesJoeyhad compare toFriends .
Joey’s Dimness
OnFriends , Joey dumbfound progressively mute as the season give out on , but he still had a sort of brain to him where he could catch situations that smart people like Ross could not ; on Joey ’s own show , he was just a big dunce .
Not only was he generally dumb , Joey lost his golden contact in talking to adult female because he could n’t conjure up witching stuff like he used to . This got to the point where Joey could n’t even beat a foreign guy who could barely speak English in an English - speaking class . Creator Kevin Brightalso echoed similar sentimentsin an interview afterJoey ’s cancellation .
Joey’s Age
In the beginningFriendsSeason 2 , Joey was say to have been 28 years of years , with adopt seasons continuing this pattern . However , that would mean Joey would have to be around 37 class one-time when his own show start , yet Michael telephone him out to be 35 .
Not only that , but Joey was somehow okay with getting old when he had been hard against the idea onFriends , where he refuse to conceive he had turned 30 when that natal day had arrived . OnJoey , he admitted without any problems that he was convey too erstwhile to pick up girls in prevention .
Gina Being Older Than Joey
All of Joey ’s sister were shown to have been younger than him when they showed up onFriends , with these womanhood scarce appear like they had even crossed 25 class of historic period by that point . However , Joey was demonstrate to have moved to Los Angeles to be around his older sister Gina .
This does n’t add up to how Joey was paint as being the erstwhile comrade of seven babe onFriends , but this was never brought up on the spin - off , where he was said to be a class or two younger than Gina .
Gina’s Appearance
This is an well-fixed point to make , seeing as Gina looked nothing like the actress who limn her onFriends . In that season , Gina await precisely the same as her sisters , lead Chandler to be confused over which sister he had kissed .
OnJoey , Gina did n’t even remotely resemble herFriendsappearance . Even her fashion of mouth was nothing like it was before . She had also been very vocal onJoey , but seemed to be ok with go in with the rest of her Sister onFriendsfor some reason .
Everything About Mary-Theresa
This was supposed to be the sister who had tried to slip Chandler from Mary - Angela , but was a far sight from what she was onFriendswhen she look onJoey . In the latter serial , Mary - Theresa somehow became the 2nd youngest baby in the household and her depiction entirely vary .
While she had been shown to be close to her sis onFriends , here she and Gina could n’t stand one another . Mary - Theresa was also show as being a spoiled terror onJoey , where she did n’t even speak with the speech pattern she had onFriends .
Joey’s Father Not Approving His Career
The actor impersonate Joey ’s father was the only one who hold his appearing fromFriendsto the spin - off , but even he was riddled with inconsistencies . Despite Joey having made it as an actor during his own show , his father suddenly had a bitter for Joey not go into the same stage business he did .
This did n’t make any good sense , since Joey ’s father was very supportive onFriends , at a time when Joey was struggling in his calling and had no direction . Why would Mr. Tribbiani disapprove of his son ’s vocation a X afterward when he was now successful ?
Joey Calling Ross His Best Friend Over Chandler
It was well - know that Joey saw Chandler as his best Quaker duringFriends , and this was a fact Ross know very well . Every meter Joey got angry at Chandler , he would apply Ross only as a replacement , and then go back to call Chandler his adept admirer later on . Plus , Joeydid get on Ross ’s nervesbecause of that whole thing with Rachel .
However , Joey spoke about Rachel as the girl he ’d once been in love with , who was now married to his best friend in New York . Not only does this contravene him calling Chandler his in force protagonist , it also come along as if Gina somehow did n’t know who Ross and Rachel were .
Michael Existing At All
When Joey ’s new sister got pregnant onFriends , Joey was beside himself with rage and beat up the Church Father of the child to force him into marrying his sister . And yet , we were made to believe Joey had already see this happen when Gina had gotten pregnant with Michael .
More than that , there was also no trace of Michael when Gina had visited Joey onFriends . If he was presuppose to have existed at that point — which maths say he should have . Michael should ’ve been present at the crime syndicate dinner party Chandler attended . In fact , he should ’ve been around 10 or 11 years old duringFriends .
Joey’s Childhood Best Friend Being Awfully Like Eddie
We get that they get the same doer who portray Chandler ’s insane former roommate Eddie to playact Michael ’s founder onJoey , but there was nothing to separate both of the characters . Jimmy was almost a carbon copy transcript of Eddie .
Both of them acted like total hothead , they both had choler job , they had the same style of talking , and they both seemed to be forgetful about the most important points . However , Jimmy was said to have been Joey ’s childhood friend , which means Joey should ’ve at least felt that Eddie was unco like Jimmy when he meet the former onFriends .
Joey’s Lack Of Contact With His Original Friends
Anybody who ’s seen even a few episodes ofFriendsknows that Joey ’s whole sprightliness orb around his pals . He yield uprelationships like the one he had with Janinefor them , he would go out of his way to make them happy , and forgave anything bad they might have done to him because he loved them so much .
All this did n’t seem to matter to the character onJoey , where he did n’t even name these the great unwashed . Other than on a couple occasion — and even here , he would normally not use their names — it look like Joey might have forgotten about his ally whole . Joey had a new good friend in this show as well , and he did n’t think twice over how easily he ’d replaced his former brother .
