Frank Buffay Jr. is Phoebe and Ursula's half brother. Phoebe discovered Frank on one of her attempts to find her father, Frank Sr. who walked out on her when she was a child. It turns out that Frank Sr. left more than one family. Frank Jr. is stranger than his older sister: he has a punctured lung, he was arrested for stealing birds' eggs, he owned a dog named "Tumor", and he believed that 'massage parlor' was a euphemism for brothel, thereby wrongly presuming his sister Phoebe was a prostitute. He also has an unhealthy hobby of melting things. A half-brother is a male sibling with one shared parent. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

In the episode "The One With Phoebe's Uterus", Frank is now married to Alice, and asks Phoebe if she would act as a surrogate mother as they are desperate to have children, but are unable to conceive. Phoebe agrees and in "The One Hundredth" gives birth to triplets. Frank and Alice name their first son, Frank Junior Junior (Chandler asks if the name should be Frank the Third, to which Alice replies, "Don't get me started"). They name their daughter Leslie. Then they tell Phoebe she can name the third baby, initially identified as a boy. After a few moments of bickering for naming rights between Chandler and Joey, Phoebe decides to name the third baby "Chandler", and right afterwards, Frank and Alice realize baby Chandler is actually a girl (Frank Jr. runs into the hospital waiting room, shouting "Chandler's a girl! Chandler's a girl!", which Chandler says reminds him of kindergarten). It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into surrogacy. ...

Note: Giovanni Ribisi also appeared in Season 2 (episode 6) as an unnamed guy on the street who had dropped a condom in Phoebe's guitar case and later came back for it because he "needed it for an emergency". Later in Season 2, Giovanni reappears, but this time as Frank Jr. (same season, episode 21) with very similar characteristics to the former character. However, it is impossible that both the condom guy and Frank Buffay Jr. are the same, because when the latter first appears, his sister takes him to see the Big Apple.

Lily Buffay

Lily Buffay is Phoebe's and Ursula's mother who committed suicide when the twins were young. She is mentioned in some episodes by Phoebe, usually for emotional blackmail or to win her the sympathy vote in an argument.

Ursula Pamela Buffay

Ursula Pamela Buffay originally appeared as a ditzy waitress in the sitcom Mad About You, working at Paul and Jamie's favourite New York City restaurant, Riff's. When Lisa Kudrow was cast as Phoebe, who also lives in New York City, producers decided to have the character cross over into "Friends". Ursula's apartment is in SoHo while Phoebe and her friends live in the Village. Mad About You is an American sitcom that aired on NBC from September 23, 1992, to May 24, 1999. ...

In Mad About You, Ursula was a particularly inept waitress, often forgetting orders entirely. Her character was more fully developed in Friends. Ursula often appeared cruel and hostile to twin Phoebe, who is still upset by the things Ursula did to her when they were young, for example, throwing her Judy Jetson thermos under a bus and stealing her first boyfriend. This drove a wedge between the sisters, and the estrangement continued into adulthood. Although Phoebe ended up homeless by her mid-teens, following the various deaths/abandonments/imprisonments of their parents, Ursula apparently did not; how the sisters came to be separated as minors was never revealed. Judy Jetson is a fictional character in the cartoon series The Jetsons. ...

Naturally, Phoebe became worried when Ursula dated Joey. It was revealed that Ursula had always known the truth about her and Phoebe's parentage; she even claimed to hold a suicide note from their adoptive mother that revealed the identity of their birth mother. When Phoebe asked to see the note, Ursula showed Phoebe a note that she (Ursula) had hastily written up. In Ursula's word, her version "got the gist" of the original suicide note, which she had apparently lost in the interim. Ursula also sold Phoebe's birth certificate to a Swedish runaway; as a result, Phoebe does not know what her middle name is. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

On one occasion, the character Jamie Buchman from Mad About You walks into Central Perk and confuses Phoebe with Ursula. Since Ursula is naturally forgetful, Jamie writes off Phoebe's genuine ignorance of who Jamie is as one of Ursula's quirks.

In "The One Where Chandler Can't Cry", it is revealed that Ursula works in the pornography industry, using her sister's first name so she was credited as Phoebe Buffay. She appeared in such films as "Buffay the Vampire Layer", "Sex Toy Story 2", "Lawrence of a Labia" (an actual adult film title), and "Inspect Her Gadget".

Her two biggest passions are pottery and erotica - or "erotery," as Phoebe Buffay calls it. Phoebe Abbott also likes Beatles music, pizza and puppies. When she learns that Phoebe (Buffay) intends to be a surrogate mother for Frank Jr. and Alice, Phoebe Abbott opposes the idea and lends her daughter a puppy with the intention of teaching her that giving up something you love (like a puppy) is very difficult and will be even harder if it is a child. The plan backfires when Frank Jr. and Alice fall in love with the puppy, and Phoebe (Buffay), giving soul that she is, joyously gives it to them.

Marcel

Marcel was Ross Geller's pet capuchin monkey during the first season of the series. Ross donated him to the San Diego Zoo after Marcel became sexually aggressive. It was later learned that Marcel was stolen from the zoo, and Ross discovered he was the mascot for a beer company's commercials. They last saw Marcel on the set of Outbreak 2: The Virus Takes Manhattan (Katie, one of the monkeys that played Marcel, in fact played the monkey in Outbreak). Marcel had also developed an infatuation with electrical appliances, having changed the language on Monica's TV to Spanish, causing Ross to exclaim "How did he do this?". He also became obsessed with the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", and this is how Ross manages to see him again briefly (when Marcel is rich and famous) after being denied access to him by security.

The Chick and The Duck

The Chick and the Duck were a chick and a duck owned by Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani. In the episode "The One With a Chick. And a Duck.", Joey originally bought the chick from an animal sanctuary as a gift for Chandler after seeing—and misunderstanding—a news report about people who buy chicks and then find they cannot properly care for them. Phoebe encouraged Chandler to return the chick but Chandler, discovering that the chick was in danger of being euthanised, did not have the heart and returned home with the chick and a duck. It turned out that, after hitting a few bumps (such as getting the chick stuck in the VCR) the two were perfectly capable of caring for the birds, and they were well loved. A recurring gag throughout the series has Chandler and Joey treating the chick and the duck as their own children, a continuation of the earlier gag that Joey and Chandler acted like a married couple. At one point, Chandler punishes the duck for trying to eat the chick by sending him out to the hall; stating "You stay out here and think about what you did!" to which a surprised Ross and Rachel, whom had just returned from the hospital, as Rachel had broken her rib previously in the episode, say "That's a duck", Chandler quickly retorts "THAT'S A BAD DUCK!" The birds have proven to be popular amongst audiences, especially for the family gag. This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...

Chandler named the chick "Yasmine", after Yasmine Bleeth, an actress on Baywatch, a television program he and Joey frequently watched, though the chick later turns out to be a male when he grows into a rooster. In "The One With Ross's Thing", Chandler refers to the duck as "Dick", possibly after their discussion earlier in the episode about whether the chick and the duck had a baby.

After about Season 6 the animals disappeared (the duck was mentioned but not seen in Season 7), and in the final episode it emerged that they had died of old age some time ago, but Chandler and the rest of the group had lied to Joey to save his feelings, telling him that they had gone to a special farm where they were very happy but could not be visited. For other uses, see Farm (disambiguation). ...

Also in the final episode, Joey bought Chandler a new duckling and chick as a housewarming gift (Joey named them "Duck Jr." and "Chick Jr." respectively). In the end Joey kept them himself and, again after a few bumps (this time they got stuck in the foosball table), he even considered getting a goose, but Chandler quickly discouraged him, telling him he was "set with the poultry".

Ugly Naked Guy

Ugly Naked Guy has appeared on screen three times: once while he was suspected of being dead, in "The One with the Giant Poking Device", once with his back facing the camera, and once with Ross (who was also nude).

Ugly Naked Guy lived in an apartment directly opposite and slightly below Rachel and Monica's apartment. Anyone in the girls' apartment could look directly into Ugly Naked Guy's apartment. Throughout the early years, the gang would look into Ugly Naked Guy's apartment and comment on his behaviour and actions, such as when he got a Thighmaster or when he squashed his cat by accidentally sitting on it (to which Joey remarked "that poor cat never saw that big butt coming"). At one point the Friends saw him sleeping, and Phoebe thought a curse had killed him, so decided to construct a large poking device out of Joey and Chandler's chopstick collection to ensure he was not dead ("The One with the Giant Poking Device").
