First airing in 1994 with over 30 million viewers, Friends became an iconic American sitcom. No matter how many times you’ve watched each season, you can find something different and rediscover the show’s greatness every time you watch an episode. From coincidental messages that link to the acting crew to plot discrepancies throughout the show, we’re here today to dive deep and uncover Easter Eggs and bloopers in Friends that have gone unnoticed.
#1: Potato Sample
We’ve visited enough coffee shops to know that in most sample cases in a café or a food store, you’d expect to see a sweet or savory treat like a cookie, a muffin, or a cracker with a new dip to sample. In specific instances where there is a cake stand, most people would expect there to be cake advertised to buy a slice.
In the eighth episode of the fourth season of Friends, Joey and the coffee shop’s owner, Gunther, had a comedic exchange funny enough for anyone to notice what was in the cake stand next to them. Small details like this really add to the scene’s hilarity because they are such random and abstract details that are not related at all to what’s happening on set.
