Rachel has finally met Ross! Well, kind of. The on-again, off-again ‘Friends’ couple reunited in an ad for the food delivery service Uber Eats — and while Jennifer Aniston seems to recognize her former co-star David Schwimmer, she can’t quite place him. It’s a funny clip that’s going viral.
Friends aired from 1994 to 2004 and is known for bringing viewers in on some of the most hilarious sitcom dramas ever. The ensemble cast consists of Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), Joey Tribbiani (Matthew Perry), Phoebe Buffay (Uma Thurman), and Chandler Bing (Jon Hamm). Throughout ten seasons, the friends’ relationship dynamics changed and evolved with every new episode. From Rachel’s constant anger and self-pity to Ross’ insecurity and desire to control everything around him, the series was full of highs and lows that many people can relate to.
Though the show ended, the cast remained close and supported one another’s projects since. Aniston has been a supporter of her former co-stars, mainly Courteney Cox. The two are still considered BFFs, and Cox recently told More magazine that she’s her “safe space” and always makes her feel loved.
So, it’s no surprise that fans were elated when the pair were teaming up again in an Uber Eats ad for Super Bowl LVIII. The ad was set on a studio set, where Aniston was handed an Uber Eats bag as the camera spotted her. She then turns to see Schwimmer, who greets and attempts to hug her. But she looks a bit confused and rebuffs him.
The ad, released on Tuesday, also featured other ‘Who’s Who’s from the world of films and sports, including Victoria Beckham, Usher, Jelly Roll, and more. But, the ‘Friends’ segment is receiving the most attention on social media. The clip has racked up over a million views on YouTube alone and has garnered some of the funniest reactions from fans.
Seeing the pair reunite is like watching an old clip from Friends again, but this time with more high-profile celebrities. Fans are raving about the clip and commenting on how cute and funny it is. Some even joke that maybe Aniston didn’t remember Schwimmer because they were on a break for so long. Others have commented that they can’t stop laughing at the joke and that Aniston is trying to make a statement. Either way, it’s a very satisfying reunion for Friends fans who have been waiting years for this moment.
