Friend-Ception: Unveiling The Best Friends References In Friends

Let's dive into the references to "The one that made American Pop Culture"

1. Community

"The Community" lead Abed was always razor sharp when it came to sarcasm. And are you a truly sarcastic person if you never make reference to one of the most sarcastic TV series of all time, "Friends"? I guess the answer is no. And with that it’s worth remembering his friendship description with Annie as a Chandler and Phoebe amity. A friendship with only a few stories and moments together. The comparison gets cherry on top when he marks he is Phoebe.

2. The Office

Extravagant and unconventional manager Michael Scott from the TV show "The Office" had a habit of comparing himself to various people. On one occasion, he even compared himself to Beyoncé. However, his most beloved comparison was with the iconic sitcom "Friends". He would proudly proclaim, "I am Chandler and Joey." As expected, Michael, holding a strong sense of himself, would identify himself more closely with the witty and memorable character of Chandler.

3. How To Be Single

There are several expressions that are immediately associated with the legendary "Friends". The top one is “We were on a Break”. So when Alice made the same expression in the movie “How To Be Single” Rebel Wilson’s character Robin, who by the way never watched the show in real life (not cool Rebel, not cool) , comes with one of the most Friends-favorite comebacks: "There's no such thing as a break, Season 3 Ross!"

4. Brooklyn Nine-Nine

It’s no secret that Sergeant Jeffords from the crime-based sitcom "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" was an enthusiastic fellow. He was passionate about many things. One of them being the show "Friends". When his colleague Jake named the Manhattan gang and referred to Ross as the dinosaur guy, Jeff got upset. So did we, so did we!

5. The Good Place

When the creative Michael reached a dead end in “The Good Place” he felt like "Friends" in Season 8 - out of ideas, forcing Joey and Rachel together, even though it made no sense. A sour topic for all loyal Friends fans.
