After hogging the epic sitcom on reruns after reruns on televisions, downloaded and files and the internet, you tend to get past the layers of every character that you have already fallen in love with. One of the most adorable of the six friends, Joey Tribbiani posed as a teenager trapped inside a grown man’s body.
He was often patronized by the rest of the group, hardly ever considered an adult and that seemed to have worked just fine for him because he had all the love he needed. However, as you look deeper, it becomes amazingly evident that Joey was actually one of the most matured and sorted out of all. Here’s why.
1. The time when Joey sounded more matured than Chandler
Chandler Bing wasn’t happy when his on and off girlfriend Janice got involved with her ex. It seemed that he would have resorted to a harsher approach of addressing the issue had Joey not put some perspective in his head.
It was amazing to see Joey Tribbiani with such insight as he explained how Janice had a history with her ex-husband, that she had mothered a child with him and it was only natural for the flames of passions to still burn.
2. When Joey talked sense into his sister
We saw a whole new Joey Tribbiani when Tina, one of Joey’s seven sisters got pregnant out of wedlock with a guy whose career plan was pretty much hoping for his band to kick off – the name of the band being Numbnuts. Joey tried his best to be all tough in his sister and her boyfriend Bobby but melted down eventually.
His Italian upbringing contradicted with the New York culture he has imbibed and ultimately, his open-mindedness made him stand as the ideal brother he is – something the honor killers of our country should learn from.
3. When Rachel confessed of her cravings to Joey
She was sharing an apartment with Joey and in the first trimester of her pregnancy when the highs and lows of the pregnancy hormones made her sexually stimulated. Her cravings seemed indomitable as she seduces Joey in her own oddball, kinky way and Joey, almost at the brink of succumbing to temptations snaps back at the last moment and refrains.
Not that it would have been wrong if they slept together that night but it was good to see Joey Tribbiani, not going “how you doin?” on a woman for once and considering his friendship with Rachel first.
4. When Joey just wouldn’t let Ross live with a grudge
When Ross walked into Joey and Rachel kissing, his reaction was hard to watch. Ross chose to be passive aggressive without considering the matter like an adult – something Joey could have easily used to his favor to continue his fling with Rachel but he didn’t. Also, it was just a situation error when Joey found the ring in Ross’ coat pocket and showed it to Rachel who thought Joey was proposing to her and ended up saying yes with Ross walking in right at that moment. Joey, valued his friendship with Ross and tried every thing in his capabilities to make sure that Ross communicates with him, even if it means urging him to hit him in the face.
Now, it’s a different thing that Ross actually goes to hit him and ends hitting the post as Joey ducks in the last moment which leads Ross to the emergency.
5. When Joey’s father started cheating on his mother
No matter how old you are, it is never easy to discover, process and accept that one of your parents is cheating on the other. Joey, like any other son found it unacceptable but instead of shaming his father for his actions he actually stepped into the shoes of a protective guardian an tried to keep his father away from his new girlfriend. Eventually, he came to know that his mother had already known about the affair and she preferred life that way it has turned out to be.
The situation was not something easy to comprehend, let alone accept but Joey Tribbiani actually confronted and addressed the issue with his parents which made everything a little easier for the family.
Joey was, what they call, a complete man who knew what mattered most in life.
在电视和互联网上反复播放这部史诗情景喜剧后，你往往会忽略掉你已经爱上的每个角色。乔伊·崔比亚尼(Joey Tribbiani)是这六个朋友中最可爱的一个，他把自己打扮成一个被困在成年人身体里的青少年。
他经常受到其他成员的保护，几乎不被认为是成年人，这似乎对他很有效，因为他拥有他所需要的所有爱。然而，当你看得更深的时候，很明显的是，乔伊实际上是最成熟的，也是最成熟的。
1. 乔伊听起来比钱德成熟的时候
钱德勒·宾(Chandler Bing)和她的前女友珍妮丝(Janice)纠缠不清时，乔伊感到不高兴。如果不是乔伊(Joey)在钱德勒的脑海中加入了某种观点，他可能会采取更激烈的方式来解决这个问题。看到乔伊·崔比亚尼(Joey Tribbiani)如此睿智地解释贾妮斯与前夫之间的关系时，真是令人惊讶。
2. 当乔伊对他妹妹讲道理的时候
蒂娜是乔伊的七个姐妹之一，她和一个男人未婚先孕，而这个男人的职业规划是希望他的乐队能开个头——乐队的名字叫“傻瓜”。乔伊尽力对妹妹和她的男朋友鲍比表现得严厉，但最终还是失败了。
他在意大利的成长经历与他所吸收的纽约文化相矛盾，最终，他的开放心态让他成为理想的哥哥。
3. 当瑞秋向乔伊坦白她的渴望时
她和乔伊合租了一套公寓，在怀孕的前三个月，怀孕荷尔蒙的高潮和低谷使她受到了性刺激。当她以古怪、古怪的方式引诱乔伊时，她的渴望似乎是坚忍不拔的。而乔伊几乎要屈服于诱惑的边缘，在最后一刻突然反击并克制自己。
并不是说他们那晚睡在一起是不对的，而是很高兴看到乔伊·崔比亚尼先考虑他和瑞秋的友谊。
4. 乔伊就是不让罗斯怀恨在心
当罗斯撞见乔伊和瑞秋接吻时，罗斯选择了一种被动的攻击方式，而不像成年人那样去考虑这件事。当乔伊可以很容易地利用这种方式继续和瑞秋调情时，他没有这样做。乔伊很重视他和罗斯的友谊，他想尽一切办法确保罗斯和他交流，即使这意味着催促他打他的脸。罗斯打乔伊，却被乔伊打得落花流水，这是另一回事了。
5. 当乔伊的父亲开始出轨他的母亲。
不管你有多大年纪，要发现、处理和接受你父母中的一个在出轨是不容易的。和其他儿子一样，乔伊觉得这是不可接受的，但他并没有因为父亲的行为而羞辱父亲，而是站在了一个保护性监护人的立场上，试图让父亲远离他的新女友。最后，他终于知道他的母亲已经知道了这件事，而她更喜欢这样的生活。
这种情况并不容易理解，更不用说接受，但乔伊·崔比亚尼(Joey Tribbiani)实际上是和他的父母一起面对并解决了这个问题，这让家庭的一切都变得更容易了。
所以，他们称乔伊为一个完整的人，他知道人生中最重要的是什么。
