It has been nearly three decades since the iconic NBC sitcom TV show FRIENDS was released, tickling fans' funny bones even to date. This American TV show is not just a sitcom, but a comfort show for many around the world, transcending boundaries with its heavy fanbase.
And even after all these years, fans of the show can clearly remember all the funny one-liners and iconic dialogues from the show each unique to the main characters of the show. To honour one of the most iconic sitcoms of history Google honoured the iconic characters with a fun twist.
What Google Search Does Upon Searching FRIENDS Characters' Names?
To feed the nostalgia of the show's fans, Google's search engine has a hidden surprise for all of us that might have gone unnoticed by many. But it is never too late. You can search for the name of any of the six characters from the show and tap on the unique icon displayed beside the name of your favourite character.
From the iconic moment "Pivot" to "Joey doesn't share food!" there is a unique animation stored in the search engine for your favourite character of the show.
Chandler Bing's Recliner:
I remember wanting to have a recliner at my home since I saw Chandler and Joey had the best of their times on the comfiest chair to exist (at least I believed so). And remembering the same recliner, Google has a recliner drawn near the name of Chandler Bing, but what pops up are the most unique and bizarre pets owned by the duo, the iconic duck and the chick.
Phoebe Buffay's Guitar:
We all have a friend in our group who sings terribly but still chooses to sing a song. The FRIENDS had our favourite Phoebe Buffay to give life to those 'delulu' friends we have in our circle. A masseuse-cum-singer sang some famous songs at their usual hangout spot Gunther's Central Perk coffee shop. And despite Phoebe's bad singing her song 'Smelly Cat' became an iconic favourite also sung by mega popstar Taylor Swift. You can click the guitar beside Phoebe's name to check for yourself.
Which #friends Easter egg on #Google is your fav.

Joey's Pizza:
Joey Tribbiani's love for food, especially pizza is so famous that there are many pizza places which have named their shops after the iconic charachter's name. But that's not just it, his catchphrase 'Joey doesn't share food' has lived in all of our hearts and helped us to escape many situations where we hate sharing food on a lighter note with the catchphrase. That's what happens when you click on the pizza beside Joey's name as your screen will be showered with his favourite food items.

Ross Geller's 'Pivot':
One of the funniest moments of the show was the iconic 'Pivot' moment that not only remains in our hearts, but many of us still use the word whenever lifting heavy things, and only the FRIENDS fans would get it. Once you click on the couch beside Ross Geller's name, the search page will be lifted to the right with 'Pivot' in the background, then to the left with the same dialogue, and at last the couch tears up with the dialogue "OK, I don't think it's gonna pivot anymore."
It is still the best Google #EasterEgg by far. #Pivot

Monica Geller:
Monica Geller is that 'mom' friend of every friend's group who not only takes care of everyone from feeding to hosting them but Monica is also known for her hysteria with cleanliness, and once you click the bucket and sponge beside Monica Geller's name on the search engine, the sponge will rub Moica's name cleaning it into the iconic purple colour of the door of her apartment.
