Friends : "Celui avec le pantalon en cuir de Ross"

Lingard

In Friends: "The One with Ross' Leather Pants," Ross finds himself in a hilariously awkward situation on a date when he can't get his new leather pants back on after taking them off to freshen up. Panicking in the bathroom, he calls Joey for advice, which leads to a series of comedic attempts to solve the problem. From lotion becoming a slippery disaster to talcum powder turning into paste, everything Ross tries only makes the situation worse. As Joey laughs and suggests calling it "fashion," Ross is left with no choice but to awkwardly confront his date, covered in lotion and talcum powder, in one of the funniest moments of the series.
