What are your feelings on the Holiday Armadillo episode? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

savy333 · 06-06-2004, 03:12 AM

Am I the only one that absolutely hates this episode! Why does almost everyone act like this is a really wonderful episode? I was reading the reviews of the season seven box set at Amazon.com today and almost everyone listed this as their favorite season seven episode. Not only is it my least favorite episode of season seven, but also of every season! I just hate this episode! Watching Ross do an Armadillo impression for ten minutes is not my cup of tea!

So, is there anyone else who detests this episode?

It's a good episode, but definitely not the best of the season. I think it's a weird episode--it seems a little choppy and out of place. Nothing really stands out in the episode aside from Joey busting in at the end. I love that.

It was definitely not the best of the season. That honor goes to TOW the Truth About London, which is highly underappreciated, but wonderful (even better without syndication taking out Phoebe's storyline).

It's a funny episode.I just like the way Ross says his lines
as the holiday armadillo,Chandler as Santa is really funny
and Joey as Superman is hilarious!Of course,it's not the
best but,it's not the worst either...

It makes Ross look like a real dork. Chandler and Joey were funny, however.

Ross was always a dork through the series. It didn't take a holiday armadillo costume to realize that.

Definitely not the best but I liked it. Something about seeing Ross try to walk in the armadillo costume was hilarious. And just the way he said 'holiday armadillo' too. The first time I saw this episode, my roomate and I were cracking up. Loved this bit of dialogue after Joey and Chandler show up in costume too:

Chandler: Santa's favorite part was when Superman flew all the Jews out of Egypt.

Ross: The armadillo was not so fond of that part.

i think that episode is hillarious but defenitley not the best of season seven

TOW the Holiday Armadillo is not the best of season seven but it is one of the better ones.. What is so touching is the extreme that Ross will go to for Ben. And not only Dad but Uncle Chandler and Joey as well.. The most hilarious scene has to be when Superman comes through the door...

it looks like the Easter Bunny's funeral in here.

Tht episode was HILLARIOUS!!! but it is not the best!

ChambersVsMalone · 08-23-2004, 05:02 PM

I loved this one at first, when it first aired and right after. But then it got totally overrated.

Heather987 · 09-03-2004, 01:07 AM

I hated it, I thought most of the ones episodes that had anything to do with Ben were quite stupid, but this one took the cake. I might have enjoyed it, had Ross not made such a big deal of it all. It had many boring moments in that show with very few laughable areas. I would rather watch something else then see that episode again. There are a few more episodes that were equally as bad IMO, but this one is probably the one that comes to mind as the absolute worst of that season and all seasons, running a close second would probably be the episode when Joey was auditioning for a commercial that Ben also was adutioning for.

I disliked it...it was ok but not memorable

Compared to the rest of season 7, it was pretty funny. Not one of the best ever, but one of the best from that year.

I didn't find that episode funny either.
