* BrickJoke: After Ross acts like a CrazyJealousGuy in front of his friends, Phoebe says she's ruling out his name for the baby because of this and references Joey's pick.
-->'''Phoebe:''' Well, it just, you know, something like this would never happen to like the Hulk, you know.



* GoneHorriblyWrong: Rachel attempts to save face in front of Joshua's parents by claiming her negligee is just a prototype dress from Bloomingdale's. She's then invited to dinner at a restaurant.
* HypocriticalHumor: After Ross repeatedly badgers her with paranoid claims, Carol concedes the extremely remote possibility that he could end up being right. He then shouts that he didn't actually believe it until now and panics even further.

'''Phoebe:''' Oh, no!\\
'''Rachel:''' It's okay. I have nice boobs.

** According to Alice, Frank is absolutely insistent on "Frank, Jr., Jr." for one of the babies. When Chandler points out that "Frank the Third" is how that should be said, a frustrated Alice makes it clear she's well-aware of that and just doesn't want to fight it anymore.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: After Joey says his name is stupid, Chandler becomes depressed and looks into changing his name. When Chandler gets to the point of saying his name has held him back his entire life, Phoebe says that's ridiculous and opts to name the third baby after him under the condition that he keeps the name, too. After Phoebe leaves to tell Frank and Alice her decision, Chandler smugly laughs at Joey, meaning he was doing this the whole time.
