yup, but he didn't do the great "could I be wearing any more clothes." type line

I liked this episode a lot anyway.

It was cool to see Sean Penn as well. Hope he shows up or more episodes.

It seemed they left that open as very likely.

Well I think cuz they already did that 2x before. Once when they had that Museum Benefit that they had to go to after Monica and Richard broke up and that one time when Chandler hired Phoebe to be her secretary. This was very funny nonetheless.

And man, Monica looked HOT in that Catwoman costume!

I heard he was signed for several episodes. He was actually pretty funny so it'll be nice to see him on more shows.

I admit that I'm one who thinks that this season has been poor compared to previous seasons but tonght was actually very funny. I laughed out loud several times. and almost all of the plot was hilarious. The whole Rachel giving trick-or-treaters money this was kinda stupid but all the others were right on

Chandler: are you alright, you look a little flushed

Do they inject a laugh track for those scenes that feature both Phoebe and Ursula?
I'm pretty amazed at how well they can merge both characters into the same scene, because it looked pretty seamless.

The whole Super girl vs Catwomen thing was great. And the "Ross dressup as doodie!!" was just too funny

And I hope we see Mona more.. she's hot!

I wasn't a big "Mad About You" fan, but I don't remember Ursula being evil on that show...just ditzy. Am I wrong, or have they completely changed her character when porting it over to "Friends"?

On Mad About You she was frustratingly stupid, and then on Friends, she was kinda evil/rude/stupid to Phoebe.

That was a funny episode, I was laughing at a lot of the parts of the episode.

Joey as everyone has said was his usual hilarious self, although the chandler costume would have been funnier if niles had not come as his dad on Frasier.

Supergirl was looking pretty hot, okay, hotter than Catwoman.

The whole who could fight who was excellent.

Ross is lameo

She is really mean, isn't she? It's not that funny, but more of a cruel thing, like selling her birth certificate and not telling her about the letter her mom left. Geez, that's not right...

Well, of course! She is Phoebe's evil twin, after all....

Am I crazy or wasn't there an episode a few years back where Ursula was a porn star? Phoebe should've mentioned that to Sean Penn's character if she wanted to break them up!

funny episode. Sean Penn was cool as always.

Ross as a potato was priceless.


Brad Pitt (as Ross' geeky high school friend) should
deliver a No. 1 ratings win at the end of the month.

A wrestling match between Catwoman and Supergirl would do the same!

I'd say this was a good episode planting the seed for more of Penn's character.

This was the funniest episode in a LONG time. I loved so many of the lines - the whole Catwoman v. Supergirl thing, Joey's gleeful "Ross came as doody!" , and especially Ross exclaiming to Chandler (after Chandler taunts Ross to prove that he's stronger than him) that "I'll prove it... I'll prove it like a theorem!" - I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. (gotta love a funny math joke - they don't happen that often. )

I've watched it twice already and I'm sure I'll watch it at least one more time.

Forgot to say that I also loved Sean Penn's chemistry with Phoebe - looking forward to seeing his character again. Especially nice since I haven't liked his work before, but it was great to see how funny and charming he can be.
