* IUhYouToo: While high on painkillers, Ross tells everyone how much he loves them. When he gets to Rachel and tells her “I love you most of all”, she plays along and says “and I wuv you most of all!” Ross gripes “You don’t get it!” And collapses on her lap.



* PetTheDog: In a rare moment of kindness Judy compliments the earrings Monica wears to the funeral, possibly because they were Nana's earrings which she gave to Judy who passed them on to Monica.

* TheFunInFuneral: A downplayed version. Nana's funeral mostly goes off without a hitch until Ross falls into an open grave and hurts his back. He takes some painkillers and spends the wake high as a kite. Meanwhile Joey has snuck a portable TV in so he can check on a football game. Jack Gellar catches him and half the men end up watching the game in the corner.

* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: Apparently Nana spent most of her time criticising everything Judy did, which is not all that different to how Judy now treats her own daughter.


Added DiffLines:

* ObliviousToTheirOwnDescription: At the wake Judy describes how Nana treated her but completely fails to realise she's treating Monica exactly the same way.
-->'''Judy:''' Do you know what it's like to grow up with someone who who is critical of every single thing you say?\\
'''Monica:''' ({{beat}}) I can imagine.\\
'''Judy:''' I'm telling you, it's a wonder your mother turned out to be the positive, life-affirming person that she is.\\
'''Monica:''' That is a wonder.
