Q1: There was a comedy group called "The Three Stooges" (you may be able to see some of their work on line. Search for "The Three Stooges." or for "Larry Moe Curly Shemp"). They did physical comedy (trip on things, walk into walls, hit each other on "accident," fall into things, set things on fire, that kind of comedy). They were silly and foolish. (which is why they were funny) One of them was named "Shemp." Rachel is comparing Ross to "Shemp." She's saying that he's being silly and foolish, just like one of the people in that comedy group. Q2: This is harder to explain. First: "Nobody likes change" is kind of a saying. People will say it (or something similar like "I don't like change.") when something is different and they don't like it because it isn't familiar. (For example, they get a new bus driver. same route, same stops, nothing has changed about the ride, they still get to work at the exact same time, but it's no longer "Dave" driving, it's "Steve.") Rachel's question was asking Ross to compare the copy girl to her (Rachel). A more normal person would tell their girlfriend something like "You are the best person in the whole world." Or at least said something that very, very clearly said that their girlfriend was better than the person they cheated with. Ross said "different." When he was asked why, he still didn't answer with something that compared Rachel favorably, he mumbled a saying that you would use if two things were pretty much the same, just one was a habit and the other was new.

The Three Stooges was a slap stick comedy show where the stooges would often perform physical comedy for amusement. One of the stooges names was Shemp. Rachel must have seen the stooges accidentally light something on fire on that show. Ross is saying that the sex with the other woman was bad because he is not adventurous in bed and doesn't want to try anything new in his sex life, but the other woman did.

Q1: Rachel is really busy with her tight deadline, and Ross is trying to make her an anniversary dinner in her office and making a lot of noise, which even makes rachel busier, rachel has to hang up the phone because ross made something on fire, but what is Shemp? Does it mean a mess? i looked it up and understand it’s an actor, is this actor always causing people trouble? Q2:three very simple English words, but i don’t really understand what ross means here? Why did he say nobody likes change as an answer to rachel’s question?
