Not real friends tv show image
The show that we have grown up all these years have some funny tidbits that makes it a more wholesome show even off set. Here's some funny facts about that
Coffee Consumption: The six main characters consumed a lot of coffee throughout the series. It's estimated that they drank over 1,100 cups of coffee at Central Perk over the ten seasons.
Central Perk's Location: While Central Perk is portrayed as a cafe in New York City's Greenwich Village, the exterior shots of the building are actually from a real cafe located in the West Village called The Little Owl.
Chandler's Job: Chandler Bing's job is often joked about on the show. His job is something related to data processing and statistical analysis, but the specifics are intentionally left vague and constantly change throughout the series.
Marcel the Monkey: Ross had a pet capuchin monkey named Marcel in the early seasons. Marcel was played by two monkeys named Katie and Monkey, and they both wore diapers while filming.
High Salary: By the final season, the six main cast members were each earning $1 million per episode, making them some of the highest-paid actors in television history.
Ugly Naked Guy: Throughout the series, the gang often talks about their neighbor, "Ugly Naked Guy," who lives across the street. However, the character is never actually shown on screen.
No Script, No Rehearsal: The entire cast agreed not to rehearse scenes before filming, so their reactions to each other's lines would be more spontaneous.
Recurring Characters: Characters like Gunther (played by James Michael Tyler) and Janice (played by Maggie Wheeler) made recurring appearances throughout the series.
Phoebe's Weird Past: Phoebe has a dark and strange backstory, including living on the streets and mugging Ross. Her past is often a source of humor on the show.
Crossing Over with "Mad About You": The characters from "Friends" and "Mad About You" (another popular '90s sitcom) exist in the same fictional universe. There are crossover references between the two shows.
Real-Life Friendships: The cast members became close friends off-screen as well. Courteney Cox even became Jennifer Aniston's maid of honor at her wedding to Brad Pitt.
Ross's Wedding: Ross's wedding to Emily in London is one of the most memorable episodes. The scenes in London were actually filmed in a studio in Los Angeles, not in London.
No Cell Phones: The show is often cited for its lack of cell phones. In the '90s and early 2000s, cell phones weren't as ubiquitous as they are today, so the characters relied on landlines and payphones.
Joey's Catchphrase: Joey's catchphrase, "How you doin'?" became iconic and is still associated with the character and actor Matt LeBlanc.
They have become one of the symbol of pride and joy of many people's lives and this show will always be an instant hit classic worth remembering and revisiting
