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.
在電視和互聯網上反覆播放這部史詩情景喜劇後，你往往會忽略掉你已經愛上的每個角色。喬伊·崔比亞尼(Joey Tribbiani)是這六個朋友中最可愛的一個，他把自己打扮成一個被困在成年人身體裡的青少年。
他經常受到其他成員的保護，幾乎不被認為是成年人，這似乎對他很有效，因為他擁有他所需要的所有愛。然而，當你看得更深的時候，很明顯的是，喬伊實際上是最成熟的，也是最成熟的。
1. 喬伊聽起來比錢德成熟的時候
錢德勒·賓(Chandler Bing)和她的前女友珍妮絲(Janice)糾纏不清時，喬伊感到不高興。如果不是喬伊(Joey)在錢德勒的腦海中加入了某種觀點，他可能會採取更激烈的方式來解決這個問題。看到喬伊·崔比亞尼(Joey Tribbiani)如此睿智地解釋賈妮斯與前夫之間的關係時，真是令人驚訝。
2. 當喬伊對他妹妹講道理的時候
蒂娜是喬伊的七個姐妹之一，她和一個男人未婚先孕，而這個男人的職業規劃是希望他的樂隊能開個頭——樂隊的名字叫“傻瓜”。喬伊盡力對妹妹和她的男朋友鮑比表現得嚴厲，但最終還是失敗了。
他在意大利的成長經歷與他所吸收的紐約文化相矛盾，最終，他的開放心態讓他成為理想的哥哥。
3. 當瑞秋向喬伊坦白她的渴望時
她和喬伊合租了一套公寓，在懷孕的前三個月，懷孕荷爾蒙的高潮和低谷使她受到了性刺激。當她以古怪、古怪的方式引誘喬伊時，她的渴望似乎是堅忍不拔的。而喬伊幾乎要屈服於誘惑的邊緣，在最後一刻突然反擊並剋制自己。
並不是說他們那晚睡在一起是不對的，而是很高興看到喬伊·崔比亞尼先考慮他和瑞秋的友誼。
4. 喬伊就是不讓羅斯懷恨在心
當羅斯撞見喬伊和瑞秋接吻時，羅斯選擇了一種被動的攻擊方式，而不像成年人那樣去考慮這件事。當喬伊可以很容易地利用這種方式繼續和瑞秋調情時，他沒有這樣做。喬伊很重視他和羅斯的友誼，他想盡一切辦法確保羅斯和他交流，即使這意味著催促他打他的臉。羅斯打喬伊，卻被喬伊打得落花流水，這是另一回事了。
5. 當喬伊的父親開始出軌他的母親。
不管你有多大年紀，要發現、處理和接受你父母中的一個在出軌是不容易的。和其他兒子一樣，喬伊覺得這是不可接受的，但他並沒有因為父親的行為而羞辱父親，而是站在了一個保護性監護人的立場上，試圖讓父親遠離他的新女友。最後，他終於知道他的母親已經知道了這件事，而她更喜歡這樣的生活。
這種情況並不容易理解，更不用說接受，但喬伊·崔比亞尼(Joey Tribbiani)實際上是和他的父母一起面對並解決了這個問題，這讓家庭的一切都變得更容易了。
所以，他們稱喬伊為一個完整的人，他知道人生中最重要的是什麼。
