Friends: Those Deeply Sad Things About Joey Tribbiani
29 November 2020
Joey may be Friends' hunky hunk, but he's very lonely. He's the only one in the bunch who hasn't found his soulmate, and those aren't the only sad things about him.
Rachel, Ross and the other members of Friends are known for their legendary good humor, but that doesn't mean they have a smooth and hassle-free life. This is the case with Monica for example, some terribly sad things happened to her during her career in Friends . All of them obviously have their problems, but the one that really hurts us the most is Joey. And for good reason, even if the Don Juan of the group is used to short-lived relationships, he feels very lonely. He is the only member of Friends not to have found his soul mate, and it is obviously not the only painful memory he has to face.
, he is not from a very stable family. With 7 sisters (Gina, Tina, Dina, Mary-Angela, Mary-Theresa, Veronica and Cookie) all as special as the others, he could not be be inspired by a healthy and “classic” family example. Her father cheats on her mother, one of her sisters is in prison, the other became pregnant as a teenager , the other claims to have killed her husband and to have celebrated the news with a glass of vodka … He can therefore only count on himself, and it must be admitted, it's a bit sad.
Finally, and this is certainly the saddest point about Joey: he can't seem to make real connections with a girl. Used to short-lived relationships, he is himself considered a piece of meat by some women as his physique is flattering. The problem is, he sees all of his friends moving forward in life, whether in their careers or their romantic relationships, and he stays at a standstill. When he finally admits to feeling something strong for Rachel, he takes a wind, even if he knew in advance that it was an impossible love. We can imagine that since then, Joey has managed to find a little more stability in his life, at least that's what we wish him! Hope he also paid his debt to Chandler, his friend racked up the advances in Friends.
