OMG I don’t understand this joke! 10 points to someone who can please please pleeease tell me!!!?
I'm having trouble understanding a joke from the show "Friends." In the episode titled "The One After I Do," Ross mentions "Mona clickclocken," then follows it up with "Linda clickclocken" and "Martin clickclocken." Can someone please explain why this is funny? I know the show has been off the air for a while, but I still don't get it. I have the eighth season and often watch this episode, but the joke remains unclear to me. Also, what exactly is a botanist? Thank you for your help!

By the 8th season the fans of the show didn’t really care what Ross said they thought it was funny. So he could have said anything and they would have laughed. As I read through your play by play I could hear Ross saying that. Most of the Friends jokes were like that. Not really jokes just them bantering back and fourth.

The joke was that he was trying to find women with the name Mona but all he could think of was the Mona Lisa and Mona Clickclocken but then he realizes the name was linda clickclocken. That made the situation awkward cause it wasn't the right name. He later says martin clickclocken as a call back to the joke. Its only really funny in context.

It is funny, he was trying to associate the name Mona to famous personalities. He said Monalisa then he couldn’t thought of anything and said Mona Clickcloken as the second name which he was unsure about. Later on something struck in his mind and he though it might be Lisa Clickcloken, He said that out loud which made his point about Mona being a great name diminished and gave rise to kinda embarrassing situation. Then in the end he remembered Martin was the correct name.
The joke is Ross is trying to make Mona feel better about her name by arguing that there are many famous, beautiful “Monas” but he can only think of one — “Mona Lisa”. Then he starts fishing and the only other name he can think of is “Mona Clickclocken”, a name only recognizable to academics, and then realizes he didn’t even have that right — it’s not ‘Mona’ Clickclocken, it’s Linda… No wait — Martin, not even a woman. Get it now?
It s funny because Ross was trying to be helpful and tell Mona she had the same name as a famous botanist. Then he got the name wrong which was a little embarrassing and a little funny. Then he realised he had the wrong gender, which means he was waaay off, especially considering he said Mona Clickclocken was known as quite the hottie of the plant world . Anyone on this thread telling you what a botanist is or commenting on laugh tracks should shut up and stick to answering the question! Even though it was 8 yrs ago and everyone s probably moved on with their lives.

the joke is that ross uses the name of mona klechklochen as a line to flirt with Mona. But Ross is obsesed about being correct so he meshes his own line by trying to think the correct name of the botanist. So , actually the fanny thing is just of Ross being himself!
You are got to be kidding me..It’s not “clickcloken” It’s Kleckklecken. It’s a name.

A botanist studies plants..I dont get the joke either but maybe it has something to do with time or someones last name?
