We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to share some of their favorite out-of-the-ordinary things they've spotted while watching Friends. Here are some of the best responses:
1. Central Perk once put a potato in the cake display stand.
2. Following the 9/11 attacks, the show paid tribute to the FDNY and NYPD in multiple episodes.

3. In "The One With the Jam," you can see someone walking behind Monica's closet.
4. There's a background actor who seems to be chewing her coffee.
And the award for best "Friends" extra goes to woman who sips coffee then chews it.
While some people think that she's eating something and then takes a sip of coffee (hence the chewing), if you look closely, she definitely doesn't look like she's chewing anything prior to taking a drink.

5. During Joey's butt double scene, there's a moving box behind the crew that has "Monica's" written on it.
6. The actress who plays Estelle previously played a nurse in the episode where Carol gives birth to Ben.
7. Rachel's last name has an extra "e" in it on her invitation to Ross and Emily's wedding.
8. When Monica is opening her wedding presents, the big box goes from wrapped to unwrapped to wrapped in the span of one scene.

CORRECTION
An earlier version of this post included a moment from "The One With Monica And Chandler's Wedding" where Chandler's office door reads "Mike Smith." The following scene where the joke is explained is not included in the episode available on Netflix.
An earlier version of this post also included a mention of Chandler and Joey’s “second microwave,” which is actually a bread maker.
