Joey Tribbiani's running gags in Friends are some of the show's best comedic moments. His relentless enthusiasm, misunderstanding of basic things, and genuine personality make viewers laugh out loud. One of Joey's running gags is his inability to understand what others are saying, often getting lost in conversations. Another gag revolves around his claim to fame as Dr. Drake Ramoray on Days of Our Lives, constantly reminding people of his role. Joey also does hilarious impersonations of his friends, particularly Chandler, which always bring laughs. His wide-eyed, shocked face when he discovers something is another funny recurring gag.

Joey's inconsistent acting career is also a running joke, as his reaction to criticism varies. His love for his stuffed penguin, Hugsy, adds to his lovable character. Joey's refusal to share food and his love for eating large meals is another running gag that never fails to entertain. And finally, Joey's repeated pick-up line, "How you doin'?," is an iconic fan-favorite joke. These running gags showcase Joey's comedic charm and make him one of the most memorable characters in Friends.
