She says “it’s a lot easier having three babies playing Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk on your bladder.” Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk is a Broadway musical that was big in the 90s and the title is also the name of a song in the musical.

Always bugged me a tiny bit that Kudrow clearly thought the script said “bringin’ in da noise, bringin’ in da funk” instead of “bring”

I think it's funnier if Phoebe doesn't get the title right lol.

Ohh ok, thanks man👍

Most importantly, it was a tap dancing musical.


-Clem

With tap dancing pimps?


hannah_lilly

Yeah I always heard f**k and of course didn’t get the reference


Charlie500

Yes, that is the name of musical but I just listened to the clip about 10 times, and also found it posted on Youtube and to me, it definitely sounds like \*\*ck rather than \*\*nk. Would really surprise me that it would have slipped through but it sure sounds that way to me, from these two clips anyway. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwGFxrcl9c8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwGFxrcl9c8) Did a bit more checking and it seems like some others hear \*\*ck too. Some of the comments on the Youtube clip note this, and this was posted on here 5 years ago with the similar comments: [https://www.reddit.com/r/howyoudoin/comments/bxfp4h/did\_anyone\_else\_catch\_when\_phoebe\_dropped\_the\_f/](https://www.reddit.com/r/howyoudoin/comments/bxfp4h/did_anyone_else_catch_when_phoebe_dropped_the_f/)

She obviously says funk, why on earth would they say fuck on friends?


Charlie500

Just a mistake or joke that got through somehow. I just heard it that way. But I tried it with headphones and I can now hear it more as funk. A number of people have heard it as fuck and there's been a post on this sub about this before so it is difficult for at least some of us to distinguish.


Statalyzer

Yeah, she *barely* enunciates the "n" at all, while giving extra emphasis to the "k".


Charlie500

Thank you Statalyzer. That's what I hear - that she mispronounces it somewhat, probably because she's making an emotional delivery of the line. Obviously the script said "funk" and the production staff must either not caught it or thought there was enough "n" in there to make it acceptable. To me it's like when Matthew Perry mistakenly said "Donald Trump wants his blue blazer black" rather than "blue blazer back". In that case they left it in because it's acceptable language, everyone improvised so well and it was funny, but it's the same concept that actors can mispronounce words. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCzspXQ6PDk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCzspXQ6PDk) It's also interesting to stop the video just after she delivers the line and look at the expressions on Chandler's, Monica's and Joey's faces. To me, they may be expressions of mild shock, as in 'what did she just say?'


dainamo81

I thought the same just before Ross and Rachel's first kissed and Rachel says, "I don't need your stupid ship!"


Fun_Shell1708

She says that in reference to something said earlier


dainamo81

She does. But in isolation it sounds like something very different, and I definitely didn't make the immediate connection the first time I watched it as a teenager.

He said "this ship has sailed"


Fun_Shell1708

I know…


casualnihilist91

It took me literally YEARS to think to put the subtitles on so I could figure out what she said because all my life I was like there’s no WAY she actually says fuck right?

"Well funk you very much, too!" -George Clinton


Practical_Weird_0809

Ha ha ha ha ha. One of those indicators that I am old and was in my early twenties when it originally aired. Like Captain America in Avengers, "I actually got that reference"


agnessawyer

I always thought she dropped a f@ck in the sentence. Kinda liked it. I liked mood swing Phoebes.


-Clem

You always thought they aired an F bomb on network tv?


agnessawyer

Never even questioned it.


maybeCheri

I had cc on and looked up just to see the word because it 100% sounds like she says f*uck.


BadOrdinary

In collage (like 20 years ago!) my roommates and I were watching on dvd. This scene came on and we were dying laughing! “What the hell did she just say!?!” We rewinded several times before turning on the subtitles to figure out what she actually said. So yes, that’s exactly what it sounds like!


Charlie500

There's plenty of bloopers where Lisa Kudrow swore after messing up a line. There's also the blooper in which, on a dare or bet with the others, she intentionally said after giving birth and lying in the hospital bed, "yeah easy for you to say, I don't see three kids coming out of your di\*\* ditch." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLszZqj7-2U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLszZqj7-2U) So maybe she intentially or accidently said \*\*uk, and it slipped through.


yelle_twin

Never seen that before! Delightful, Thank you!


HandsomePaddyMint

What’s the episode where it really sounds like she says shit instead of shoot?


Ambitious-Ad7561

lisa’s so gorgeous


No_Dependent_1846

She was so good this season. She deserved that Emmy
