Watch: Courteney Cox Recreates Monica's Iconic Thanksgiving Turkey Look From FRIENDS

Courteney Cox, renowned for playing the role of Monica Geller on FRIENDS, has kindly given fans a Thanksgiving present by recreating an iconic look from the evergreen 90s sitcom. In the fifth season episode eight, titled, The One With All The Thanksgivings, Monica dons, literally, a Thanksgiving turkey with glasses on her head - a scene that continues to be eulogised on the internet through GIFs and memes. Sick of being bombarded with GIFs of the turkey-on-the-head moment every year as Thanksgiving rolls around, Cox finally decided to once and for all settle the matter by recreating her classic turkey shimmy.

Delivering a roller-coaster range of emotions, through a video shared on her Instagram, the 56-year-old says she's going to "snap" if she sees another GIF "with a turkey on my head dancing like a f**king fool... So anyhow, since I’m the symbol of Thanksgiving, here you go, hope it makes you happy." And then she breaks into dance.
