The One With the Blackout (season 1, episode 7)
In solely the seventh episode of the present, Perry had a breakout efficiency in The One With the Blackout when Chandler was trapped in an ATM space together with his dream lady, supermodel Jill Goodacre. The episode allowed Perry to share Chandler’s ideas in a hilarious voiceover as he bungled his method by way of the complete night.
Perry’s knack for bodily comedy was additionally on show within the episode by way of his facial expressions and physique language. He was awkwardness personified, and that endeared to followers for the size of the present’s run.

Within the current, Chandler is so enamored with Susie that he doesn’t suspect that his date together with her is a part of an elaborate plan to get her revenge.

The comedy on this episode comes from the one-upmanship that ensues when Monica and Chandler notice that Rachel and Phoebe already know the reality, however they attempt to trick them into admitting they know. In flip, Phoebe and Rachel attempt to trick the couple into outing themselves by letting Chandler consider that Phoebe needs a romantic relationship with him. They take it fairly far and really kiss earlier than Chandler lastly has to admit that he loves Monica. It’s each an important character second, and a really humorous scene. That was Buddies at its greatest.
