Friends: 10 Most Insane Things Phoebe Has Done

Throughout Friends, when Phoebe finds herself needing an alter ego, she calls herself Regina Phalange. Whilst there seems to be no canon basis behind the name, this becomes a recurring joke that runs through from season 5 onward.

In an attempt to explain why Ross accidentally called Emily the wrong name at the alter, Phoebe claims he has a brain injury and that she is his doctor, Doctor Phalange. There are many references to the name dotted across the seasons from this point. She introduces herself when role playing with different members of the gang and even goes as far to say she is a french woman called Régine Philange in order to help Joey win a part.

The final reference to Miss Regina Phalange is as Rachel's plane is about to leave there is a rumour about a problem with the left phalange, a tip which is called in by Phoebe. The plane is evacuated consequently grounding Rachel, one final triumph for this multifaceted alter ego.
