In the standout season five episode The One Where Everyone Finds Out, everyone knows that Chandler and Monica are having a secret affair except for poor old Ross, in the middle of a sometimes violent nervous breakdown, who theyre too scared to tell yet. The other three, however, know all about the secret relationship in their midst, and Chandler and Monica know that they know but not everyone knows that they know, or knows that they know that they know. Oh, you know what we mean. Phoebe and Chandler go head to head, Phoebe pretending that shes into him in order to get Chandler to break and admit his feelings for Monica, while Chandler in turn is pressured into playing along by Monica, whos the worlds most competitive person. In order to push things along quicker, Joey pretty much just snaps his fingers next to Phoebes shirt and pops it open to reveal more cleavage, nonchalantly saying when complimented, its not my first time. The thing is, it absolutely wasnt Matt LeBlancs first time, either: the shot we see on the show is the 12th take of him trying to flip Lisa Kudrows blouse open hence the whooping from the audience and Kudrows unfeigned delight when it finally happens, and the even bigger laugh from the studio audience at the delayed and by now hilariously ironic punchline.
