Added DiffLines:

* DeadlyDodging: Done unintentionally when Ross accidentally punches a lamppost after being goaded by Joey to hit him. Joey apologizes and states that he merely dodged reflexively, even taking a swing at Ross to demonstrate (who doesn't dodge). At the end of the episode Joey, again trying to demonstrate how people dodge reflexively, throws a punch at Chandler, who dodges... meaning Joey hits Ross ''again''.

Added DiffLines:

* BrickJoke: During the end credits, Joey again stresses to Ross that it's just a natural instinct to duck when a fist comes at a person. Chandler walks in and asks what they're talking about, so Joey aims to prove his point by taking a swing at him. Chandler immediately dodges, leading to Joey accidentally punching Ross in the face again.
* DumbassHasAPoint: Rachel suggests that Joey not be around before Ross returns to the apartment. Joey says he thought he shouldn't be there, either, and that Chandler convinced him to come.

* GettingTheBabyToSleep: The girls' plotline involves them trying to get Emma ''back'' to sleep after Rachel wakes her up from a nap. The only thing that works is Monica bouncing her around and chanting a little song.

* HitMeDammit: Joey tries to get Ross to punch him as compensation for his AccidentalProposal to Rachel. However when he finally annoys Ross into doing it, Joey ducks (he claims it was reflex) and Ross punches a column instead, breaking his thumb.
