Unfortunately for him, the producers loved it too, which meant Tyler had to continue bleaching his hair every week for 10 years.
Not that Joey realised this in the show, of course. When Gunther told him in one episode that he was off to get his hair dyed, Joey replied: "Oh really? But I like your natural colour. When Ross attempted to learn Dutch to impress the landlord of an apartment, he practised some new phrases on Gunther, who was fluent. But when Ross rudely cut the conversation short, Gunther ended up calling him an "ezel". Ross had to look this up to discover he'd just been called a donkey, or ass.
Once he finally found the translation, he said: "Hey Gunther, you're an ezel. Gunther was too smart for him though, replying: "Jij hebt seks met ezels You have sex with donkeys ," leaving Ross stumped once again. It must have been painful for poor Gunther to witness Rachel being asked out on a date by another man in the third season, right under his nose.
So he headed to the coffee house's storage room, out of viewers' sight. The next thing we heard was the sound of an almighty crash, with Gunther obviously smashing large amounts of glass and crockery in a rage.
When he returned to the coffee house floor, he was greeted with stunned silence by the other customers. Gunther helped Phoebe out of one particularly tricky situation involving a man she was dating in series three. Her partner Robert wore very loose fitting shorts and, as a result, gave those around him an eyeful. Robert's unintentional flashing left Chandler, Joey and Ross helpless with laughter, but neither them nor Phoebe wanted to broach the subject with him.
Fortunately, when Gunther walked by their table, he swiftly told Robert: "Hey buddy, this is a family place. Put the mouse back in the house. In , Tyler was interviewed on Central Perk's famous orange sofa by Good Morning Britain , where he revealed that was his all-time favourite line. Chandler replied: "Oh, come on, at least let me finish this last one.
Gunther thought before offering a compromise. Inhaling Chandler's cigarette, he delivered one of his most memorable lines: "Oh oh, dark mother. Once again I suckle at your smoky teat. Joey needed a shoulder to cry on when he found himself unemployed in season two.
How'd they do it? Gunther replied: "That sucks. I was buried in an avalanche. It was a fun indication of Gunther's past, and a reminder that in New York you're never far from an out-of-work actor.
When the Friends cast got back together for their much-heralded reunion in early , several members of the supporting cast joined them to celebrate. It's a testament to Tyler's importance to the show that he was the only star who was allowed to appear via Zoom, rather than in person. We now know, of course, that Tyler was struggling with his mobility. The cancer had left him unable to walk and he used a wheelchair at home - although it wasn't visible during the reunion.
All these guys were fantastic. It was a joy to work with them. I felt very, very special. Sign In. Comedy Romance. Director Kevin Bright. Top credits Director Kevin Bright. See more at IMDbPro.

Its Thanksgiving Day again and Amy, Rachel's middle sister, shows up to spend the night with her friends.
Amy is a materialist and insensitive girl, who hasn't even congratulated Rachel for Emma's birth. She asks Rachel if she can spend the day with her.
Rachel agrees but knows the dinner will be a nightmare because Amy won't connect with Emma or with Rachel's friends. In this midrash, Rachel has the insight that the birth of children is a reward from God. Rachel feared that her deeds were not favorable in the eyes of God, which resulted in her barrenness.
God said to Jacob: Is this how one replies to embittered women? By your life, your sons will stand before her son, and he will tell them Gen.
This midrash criticizes Jacob for responding so harshly and inconsiderately to Rachel, who is presented as a bitter woman. Jacob should have understood her pain, instead of rebuking her for the manner in which she spoke. Instead of showing understanding, he amplifies her pain by telling her that he already has four sons from Leah. Did he not gird his loins for her [since Isaac strove and prayed so that Rebekah would become pregnant]? This midrash compares the barrenness of the three Matriarchs and the conduct of the three Patriarchs, which intensifies the criticism of Jacob, who should have acted as his forefathers did, and pray on behalf of Rachel in accordance with her wishes.
Rachel had been given Bilhah as a handmaiden by her father Laban upon her marriage to Jacob. Rabbati , Vayeze , p. Bilhah bore Jacob two sons, Dan and Naphtali, the first by her own merit, and the second by the merit of Rachel Gen. When Dan was born, Rachel said Gen. When Naphtali was born, Rachel felt that her competition with her sister had reached a point of equilibrium. She had started from a position of superiority over her sister, since she was the desired wife.
Consequently, Rachel found herself in an inferior position, since Leah bore children to Jacob, while she herself had not.
Only now, upon the birth of Naphtali, did Rachel sense that she had regained her former standing. Did he not go to Laban only because of me? When Rachel saw them, she asked Leah to give them to her [because of her barrenness]. In return, Leah requested that Rachel forgo her right to be with Jacob that night. The Rabbis did not view this exchange between the sisters favorably. Some criticized Leah, for by her actions she exhibited ingratitude to Rachel. Is this the reward of your sister Rachel, who gave you her signs with her husband on your wedding night, to spare you embarrassment?
Rabbati , Vayishlah , p. Other Rabbis found fault with Rachel and maintained that because Rachel made light of her right to lie with the righteous Jacob, which she sold for the mandrakes, she was punished by not being buried together with him. This midrash incorporates several aggadic traditions according to which Leah gave birth to Issachar and Zebulun by merit of the mandrakes that she gave her sister.
Rachel lost being buried next to Jacob because of her dealing with Leah, but she thereby merited having her son Joseph receive the birthright.
Leah bore Jacob six sons and a daughter. The midrash states that Leah carried a male fetus in her womb during her seventh pregnancy. Another tradition has Leah herself being responsible for the change. Leah knew that twelve tribes would issue from Jacob. God accepted her prayer and the sex of the fetus in her womb changed to female BT Berakhot 60a ; Tanhuma [ed.
Referred to alternatively as the "Day of Judgement" and the "Day of Blowing" of the shofar. Rosh Ha-Shanah , like Sarah and Hannah. This midrash uses a common date to connect various historical events. The impregnation of Sarah and Rachel, the Matriarchs of the nation, heralds that God will also deliver their descendants from the troubles they would suffer in the future.
Rosh Hashanah is perceived as the time of liberation from pain and sorrow: this is the day that signals a positive change, both in the time of the Matriarchs and in the time of their offspring. Yet a third tradition explains that Rachel merited pregnancy because she brought her rival wife [Bilhah] into her house. By merit of the birth of Dan [the son of Bilhah], Rachel became pregnant; and by merit of the birth of Dan, Joseph and Benjamin were born Gen.
Mandelbaum], Roni Akarah If she breaks a vessel within the house, whom shall she blame for this? Once she has given birth, she places the blame on her child Tanhuma [ed. Some midrashim view the name given by Rachel to her son Joseph as a prophecy for what would befall his descendants. In another midrashic understanding, Rachel alluded to the disgrace during the time of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who was a descendant of the tribe of Ephraim, and who engaged in idolatry and denigrated the prophet Ahijah of Shiloh I Kings 12—14 ; this disgrace was taken away when Jeroboam was put to death II Chron.
Another tradition suggests that when Rachel saw that she did not bear children, she feared lest Esau take her from Jacob and marry her [because of the prior agreement between the parents of Jacob and Esau that each would marry one of the sisters, while Jacob had married both].
When Joseph was born, Rachel stated Gen. When not specified, "Talmud" refers to the Babylonian Talmud. Talmud asserts that the Matriarch Rachel was one of the first women prophets.
Rabbah —6. In the narrative in Gen. The Rabbis claim that Rachel did so for the sake of Heaven. In another tradition, Rachel stole these idols so that they would not reveal to Laban that Jacob had fled with his wives, his children and his flocks Tanhuma , Vayeze When Laban overtook Jacob in the hill country of Gilead, he reproached him Gen.
Jacob allowed Laban to search for the idols. A miracle was performed for her, the idols were transformed into cups, and therefore Laban did not find them Gen. This exegetical direction is supported by the divine aid she received in the miraculous concealment of the idols from Laban. So did your mother shame our father when she stole the household idols from Laban!
Buber], Mikez Due to the shame that Benjamin suffered through no fault of his own, he merited having the Divine Presence rest in his portion [the Temple was erected in the portion of the tribe of Benjamin], which thereby publicly proclaimed his innocence. The purpose of the comparison between Benjamin and his mother was to say that just as Benjamin was unjustly accused, so, too, Rachel should not have been called a thief, since her motive was positive.
The midrash links the birth of Joseph and the departure from the house of Laban with the encounter with Esau. As related in Gen. Rachel and Joseph were most beloved by Jacob, and therefore they stood last.
In another exegetical tradition, Jacob placed Rachel and Joseph last because he wanted to protect them. Friedmann Ish-Shalom ], chap. The midrash views this confrontation between Jacob and Esau as symbolizing the future rivalries between the descendants of the two. Thus, for example, the Bejaminite Saul would wage war against and triumph against Amalek, the descendant of Esau; and Mordecai, from the tribe of Benjamin, would use his wisdom to best the Amalekite Haman.
