Phoebe Buffay is a fictional character from the television series, Friends (1994–2004), portrayed by Lisa Kudrow, who won an Emmy Award, as well as receiving a Golden Globe nomination for her performances.
Phoebe Buffay is the younger (by one minute) twin daughter born to Phoebe Abbott and Frank Buffay on February 16, 1967. Frank was married to Phoebe Abbott's best friend Lily at the time, and Lily adopted Phoebe and her twin sister, Ursula. The sisters were unaware until adulthood that Lily was not their biological mother. Phoebe does not talk much about her early years except to note that her father abandoned the family when she was very young and that Lily remarried. She occasionally mentions Lily's strange behavior and methods of raising her children, such as keeping candy in a human skull at Christmas to remind Phoebe and Ursula that, even though it was Christmas, people still died.
Phoebe's life changed dramatically when she was thirteen, when Lily committed suicide just before Christmas. Phoebe's stepfather was in prison at the time. By the age of fourteen, Phoebe was living on the streets of New York. She never mentions what happened to Ursula after their mother’s death, but they did not stay together. She lived in many locations such as a burnt-out Buick Lesabre automobile. She never attended high school or college, but claimed that she met behind a dumpster with a small group to learn French, in which she is fluent. She also speaks some Italian, and has a short conversation in Italian with Joey's grandmother. However, her language skills are treated somewhat inconsistently. She misunderstands when one of Monica's assistants introduces himself as a "sous-chef" (although this could have been to simply endear herself to him by appearing dim, a device which Phoebe uses many times), and she does not appear to understand Rachel's Italian boyfriend when he speaks.
Phoebe occasionally resorted to mugging to survive. At one point, when she was fourteen, she mugged a teenage Ross near a bakery, stealing the only copy ever existing of Ross's comic Science Boy . Phoebe claims this book "taught me well". Phoebe also mentioned that she once lived in Prague, Czechoslovakia and also she lived with an albino man who washed windows outside the Port Authority Bus Terminal, as well as a "guy named Sindy who talked to his hand." Phoebe claimed that she contracted hepatitis when a pimp spat in her mouth. Her previous lifestyle and wild stories shocked her friends. When she told the story of the time when she stabbed a cop, their obviously surprised looks caused her to retort, "Well he stabbed me first!" Phoebe picked up an impressive talent for boxing at a YMCA, where according to her, the guys "weren't being Christian enough". Phoebe also claims that Monica would not last long under torture and Monica asks "Like you would?" Phoebe responds "I did!"
After her grandmother's death, Phoebe inherited her yellow taxi and apartment at 5 Morton Street, New York City.
She moved in with Monica as a result of answering a roommate ad, which began their friendship. While living with Monica, she married Duncan, a gay Canadian ice dancer, in order to help him obtain a green card. He later revealed that he is straight, and was just being gay "to fit in", resulting in a divorce.
Having not experienced a normal childhood, Phoebe is quite naïve and innocent, and is in some regards, still a child at heart but is also wise in other respects. She still believes Santa Claus exists, until Joey says otherwise. Phoebe also shocks some people with her frankness. Phoebe's straightforwardness is a running gag throughout the series. Phoebe is also known in the group for having the best street-smarts. Having grown up on the streets and also resorted to mugging, she knows how to get by on the streets and is not afraid to discuss it.
Phoebe is the most promiscuous of the three girls, being the one most often referred to as having casual sex. During the episode "The One with Rachel's Phone Number", Rachel attempts to convince Mike to do her a favour by promising Phoebe will do anything he wants: "Seriously, I'm talking dirty stuff." Mike is surprised that it could "get any dirtier". In the second last episode, while packing, Phoebe claims Mike is handcuffed to a pipe, and has done this before after being accused of owning the fur-lined handcuffs found in Monica's spare room. In one episode, it has been suggested that Phoebe has had a threesome. In one episode where Rachel and Phoebe fight over a guy Phoebe says that she has not been on a date in a very long time. Rachel claims Phoebe had a date 3 days ago to which Phoebe replies, "That wasn’t a date! That was, that was just friends getting together…having sex." Another episode has Phoebe and Mike celebrating their anniversary, Rachel asks her "So which anniversary? First date? First kiss? First time sleeping together?" to which Phoebe replies "Yeah". Also, Phoebe kisses Rachel in one episode to experience Rachel's claim to be a fantastic kisser. Phoebe says that if she had to select Monica or Rachel to have a lesbian relationship with, she would select Rachel because she is "not as high-maintenance" as Monica. In "The One Where Rosita Dies", Phoebe states that if she works as a telemarketer she probably will not have to say spank as much as she did in her last phone job, suggesting that she worked as a phone sex operator.
Phoebe often uses her chaotic childhood and traumatic past as sympathy ploys to her friends. References to her mother's death were usually to get her own way. Phoebe does not seem to mind that the other friends know that she is referring to her mother's death to get her own way. In one episode Rachel says, "Now, wait a minute, you can't use that to get the cute guy's phone and the last blueberry muffin!" to which Phoebe replies, "Did I use that already today? I'm sorry." However, as the series progressed, the other friends indulge her less frequently.
Phoebe believes in reincarnation and refers to multiple gods; however, not all of Phoebe's beliefs seem internally connected. She is very open to the existence of paranormal phenomena and willing to consider the most bizarre scientific theories, much to Ross's confusion and despair. She, however, does not believe the theory of evolution or gravity, claiming she feels more pushed down than pulled - however, her disbelief at evolution was later used in a game against Ross; after making him question his belief, she states "that was fun!". At one point, Phoebe is even possessed by the spirit of an 82 year-old woman who had unfinished business. Phoebe also claims to hear voices in her head, and at one point, even heard what Joey was singing in his head (in the cold open for "The One With The Race Car Bed"). In "The One With All The Thanksgivings" Phoebe reveals that she believes she possessed the same look in at least two previous lives, and that Joey does not have any previous life memories because "he's brand new".
Phoebe is a very generous person, characterized by when she agreed to be a surrogate mother for her brother Frank Jr. and his wife Alice Knight. In the Season 5 episode 'The One Hundredth (The One with the Triplets)' she gave birth to their triplets: Chandler (originally intended to be named after Chandler Bing, thinking she was a boy); Frank Jr. Jr. (when Chandler suggested that he should be called 'Frank the third' Alice replied with "Oh, don't get me started"); and Leslie. When telling people this it surprises them, as she says she had her brother's babies, not that it was surrogacy.
Her resistance against large corporations is made manifest in several episodes in which she speaks out against chain stores and the ideal of corporate greed, such as in "The One With the Apothecary Table" (against Pottery Barn, which she later admits liking). In season 9, most notably in the episode "The One with the Fertility Test," she tries to convince Rachel not to redeem a gift-certificate to a massage spa because it puts independent massage therapists such as herself out of business. However, when Rachel clandestinely visits the spa to redeem her gift certificate, it is revealed that Phoebe is employed at the spa as a massage therapist because of the good money, benefits, and 401(k) plan, which she pronounces "four-oh-wunk" (she even exclaims that she has to "pay taxes!"). Even when Rachel says she should quit if she hated it so much, she still did not do so, even saying she didn't mean what she said to the "microphones" (Phoebe believed that the whole spa was rigged with them) so it is assumed she still works there.
Phoebe is occasionally referred to as a heavy drinker, although she never demonstrates any dependence that would make her an alcoholic. In a season 7 episode, when describing her feelings for a man she's dating, she tells Monica "I feel like I've had ten drinks today...and I only had 6." She also drank over twenty drinks at a charity event stating "The more I drink, the less there is for kids to drink." At Monica's 30th birthday party, when Monica gets very drunk, Phoebe decides to "get twice as drunk so no one will notice Monica". The morning after Ross and Rachel get married in Las Vegas, Phoebe and the rest of the friends have a breakfast buffet. During the breakfast, she explains a few times that she is drunk, after drinking while having breakfast.
Phoebe is also the only member of the group who is left-handed, but she does a large amount of work with her right hand.
Phoebe can be seen as the "sixth" member of the group. In "The One with the Mugging" she mentions that the other members have connections tha
