How you doin Joey ?

How you doin Joey?

When you think of Joey Tribbiani, you probably think Days of Our Lives, a deep lust for sandwiches, and his defining phrase, ""How YOU doin'?"" It’s a line that encapsulates everything we know to be true about the Friends character, a man so confident in his looks and general appeal that he’d rarely pass up an opportunity to approach a beautiful woman. What’s funny is that ""how YOU doin'"" is easily Joey’s most famous quote, but he actually didn’t say it all that often. Out of 236 episodes over 10 seasons, he said it less than 20 times. It wasn’t until halfway through season 4 that he said it at all. Yet, the implication is that it’s something he’s said his entire adult life. So, for something that’s supposed to be so tried and true, how often did the phrase actually work as a pickup line? This is our investigative report. Out of 19 ""how YOU doin'"" lines, nine of them were successful. That means his famous phrase really only got him anywhere 47.36% of the time. That's really a terrible rate considering how much attention it gets.
Additional insights on Joey's phrase:
- 100% success rate when delivered to Joey in a mirror
- 0% success rate in his own apartment
- 100% success rate in alternate realities
- More likely to work when delivered as a package deal alongside other Joey phrases
