Joey Tribbiani Quotes For Every Situation

When it comes to the core six on Friends, Joey is perhaps the pal that gets the least amount of credit for his brain. Sure, he barely passed high school, has no idea what air quotes are, and routinely relies on Chandler to pay his rent, but that doesn't mean that Joey is dimwitted — his brain just works a little, well, differently than all of ours do. (Maybe it's his diet of pizza and meatball subs — that stuff is proven to change your brain chemistry, right?) Joey's sort of like the 14-year-old kid who somehow got transformed into the body of a 30-something, and is enjoying pretty much every minute of his arrested development. Of course, Joey is more than just 14-going-on-32: while he might not always be the sharpest tool in the shed, he's also exceedingly lovable and somehow capable of giving the wisest tidbits of advice... even if they're often doled out accidentally.

One more reason why Joey is the best? His quotes. You might be surprised at just how useful Joey's quips can be in your every day life. He might not be Aristotle (or even, uh, Drake) but Joey's one liners can get you through pretty much any situation you face during the week. Here are the quotes that were cooked up in Joey's secretly brilliant mind that will help get you through any week:
