Top 20 Unscripted Friends Moments That Were Kept in the Show

bad time to say the wrong name harass that's true thanks Dad welcome to Ms Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 unscripted friends moments that were kept in the show he doesn't speak much English for this list we'll be looking at the best moments from this sitcom that were reportedly improvised somehow born out of a spontaneous moment or not included in the script that made it either to air or into the uncut DVD version which of these gems is your favorite let us know in the comments number 20 Rachel's bagpipe reaction in 2017 Lisa Kudrow told e that her favorite episode of Friends was the one with Joey's new brain you're not going to believe it my character is coming out of his coma and not only that I'm getting a new brain Joey's or rather Dr ramore's new brain is certainly entertaining but Kudrow's love for the episode has more to do with the part where she sings As Ross plays the bagpipes we have to admit that this scene is one of the funniest the sitcom ever produced in fact you might be familiar with the classic outtake in which none of the cast can hold it together [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] while Kudrow was able to get through it in the version that made the show you can see Jennifer Aniston breaking again we'd say that was unplanned [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] number 19 noisy name is this the first time you're seeing Emma yeah I think so it's nice to meet you Emma Phoebe oh that's a funny noise when Christina Applegate guest starred on the show is Rachel's Sister Amy she had some great moments and pieces of dialogue but one of the best bits is her getting Phoebe confused with Emma and then not grasping why Phoebe repeats her real name to her it leads to her asking well it turns out that hysterical quote wasn't part of the original script in fact Applegate revealed to today that it was penned on the day of shooting literally quote in front of the audience and yes the actress loves it too talk about a great rewrite and I say why does she keep making that noise that was written like as a rewrite in front of the audience and it was just I thought it was hilarious I felt very lucky that I got to say that number 18 water in Joey's face for the big post Super Bowl episode friends brought in a bunch of guest stars including Julia Roberts and Brooke Shields I'm Susie Moss fourth grade glasses I used to carry around a box of animal crackers like a purse Susie Moss Shields was Erica a stalker who didn't grasp that Joey was an actor and believed him to be his Days of Our Lives character Dr Drake ramore unable to convince her otherwise the friends tell her that he's really romore's horrible twin Drake what are you getting at I'm not Drake that's right he's not Drake he's Huns ramore Drake's evil twin to bring the LIE home Rachel and Monica throw water in Joey's face but the funniest bit is when Chandler does the same which rumor has it wasn't scripted he told me he would run away with me and he didn't and you let the toilet seat up you bastard unfortunately we weren't able to confirm this and it may Simply Be hearsay but Jennifer Aniston's reaction does hint that it was maybe unplanned we sure hope so number 17 authentic Branson hey so what do you find gentlemen in the market for we got uh scarves souvenir postcards check this out huh that's good stuff the friend's trip to London gave us two of the most memorable moments in the show's history there was the beginning of Monica and Chandler's love story and of course Ross accidentally saying Rachel at his wedding but it also might have given us an unscripted moment featuring one of the richest men in the world you might remember Richard Branson as the guy Joey purchases a hat from gonna make me choose between you and the hat I choose the Hat good choice thanks okay look well Branson reportedly struggled to get his lines right possibly from not having properly memorized them so as The Story Goes the writers apparently ditched the script in Branson Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry improvised he's just jealous you'll fit right in all londoners wear them oh really then how come no one here anywhere is wearing one they're all tourists number 16 Monkey Business I wanted this to work so much all right I'm still in there you know changing his diapers picking his fleas but he's just phoning it in we all remember Marcel the monkey Ross's pet Capuchin whose stint on friends was relatively short but certainly memorable right you probably also know that actor David Schwimmer wasn't a huge fan of filming with the two creatures who played the character so I'd have monkey grubby hands all over all over and it just wasn't it was it was time for Marcel too to off but did you know that apparently some of the capuchin's unplanned actions made it into the Final Cut of the sitcom as well trained as they are they were also still animals and there's a reason the expression is monkeying around while in many cases this led to delays in filming there were reportedly also times where the unplanned nature of what transpired resulted in comedy gold would you leave my like would you just stop humping me for two seconds okay would you just take him away just take him number 15. Paulo's Italian foreign [Music] if you were wondering if the show had any Italian writers writing the dialogue for Rachel's season one boyfriend Paulo the answer is no well some of the writers may have been Italian we don't know but they weren't writing Paolo's lines in fact no one was Poke uh no ah [Music] actor Cosimo Fusco has explained that the producers gave him a directive to make up the Italian dialogue as he went quote I was asked to improvise he said adding that he made up most of the Italians spoken by Paulo we may not have always understood what Paulo was saying but the actor certainly nailed his delivery I just say that and that's the best state in everyone's mind you know I said number 14 Joey's dislocated shoulder friends fans probably remember how Joey dislocated his shoulder in season three by jumping on his bed oh see Joe that's why your parents told you not to jump on the bed but that is until Matt LeBlanc did it that came while filming the previous episode in the one where no one's ready Joey and Chandler are fighting over a chair and in one scene Joey has to rush to it before his friend can get there well the actor fell and landed awkwardly dislocating his shoulder in the process and I want just to jump over the coffee table and somehow tripped and my legs went up in the air and my shoulder came out of the socket he had to wear a sling for a while so the writers had to change the script for the next episode in order to account for it thus the falling off the bed storyline and a whole story worked out but then uh Chandler sold me out well I'm sorry Joe I didn't think the doctor was going to buy that it just fell out of the socket number 13 wrong name I Ross Take the Emily take thee Rachel as amazing as it would be we're not here to tell you that raw saying Rachel instead of Emily at his wedding was a David Schwimmer ad-lib however it reportedly happened because of a previous flub the actor made you see the writing team didn't have a set plan for what was going to happen with Ross and Emily you take your time sweetie I'll be right out here she's just fixing her makeup and I love you one day while they were rehearsing for a different episode Schwimmer accidentally said Rachel instead of Emily in a scene the instant that happened writer Greg malins told co-creator David crane quote that's it and the IRAs take the Rachel moment was born Emily shall I go on he said he said remember 12 does a bear in the season 7 episode the one with the cheap wedding dress Ross and Joey both start dating the same girl Ross this is Joey Joey Ross hi hi it's nice to meet you yeah I used to have a friend named Joey I don't anymore the ensuing conundrum culminates in a hysterical back and forth with each other trying to embarrass the other in front of her needless to say she ends up leaving the two guys alone for dinner all right have you ever gotten stuck in a pair your own mother pants hey hey have you ever locked yourself in a TV cabinet VD boy monkey lover this led to Matt leblanc's seemingly improvising a line that didn't make it into the episode that aired on NBC but is in the uncut DVD version you hungry there's a bear in the woods the language used obviously wasn't what you call TV friendly but the moment sure is memorable number 11 grabbing the lamp he's talking to London why did he get in touch with Emily but no I'm not yet he's calling everyone on her side of the family hoping that someone will help me get in touch with her have you ever been so excited about something that you handed someone a lamp we can't say we have but Ross was in season five when Emily called from London to talk to him he runs over to the couch and in his excess of enthusiasm hands Chandler the lamp hello Ross Emily Emma oh my God oh my God exactly it's Emily everyone it's a great moment but rumor has it it's one that the writers hadn't thought of apparently this one came from the mind of David Schwimmer why or how he decided to do it we don't know but if it's true we are so glad he did we should also mention the comic mind of Matthew Perry who not only takes the object but hilariously holds on to it for a while she's three three number 10 worst hangover hello the gang's trip to Vegas is a memorable one but its aftermath is perhaps the most notable part Ross and Rachel drunkenly get married which is well awkward for them since they're currently in the off part of their on off relationship we weren't going to miss our friends getting married wait you did hello Ross's insistence on trying to make the marriage work leads her to become increasingly exasperated this culminates in a line Jennifer Aniston improvised reportedly they had to edit out the audience's laughter at this take number nine real tears hello [Laughter] given how long the show went on it can be easy to forget that Ross Begins the series going through a divorce his early attempts to get back into the dating world don't get off on the right foot either since his first date in years sees him run into his ex-wife Carol maybe I screwed up the first date I had in nine years that could be it oh God determined to make things better Ross implores Carol for a chance to make their marriage work here's a wacky thought um let's say you and I give it another shot actress Jane sibbetts welling up with tears during the scene was real and unscripted she said in an interview that she was just so moved by David schwimmer's performance you know you keep saying that but there's something right here I love you this is also not the only time Civic got emotional while filming her tears were real when she gave birth to Ben at the end of season one as it was filmed soon after she had given birth to a son in real life is here he's a person oh my God I don't like my Uncle Ed covered in jello number eight prank yeah you like that one yeah you're funny I'm funny oh thank God When Rachel is asked to watch Ross's son Ben she wants to be known to him as fun so to endear herself to Ben she teaches the boy about practical jokes Ross isn't amused at first because Ben does several of the pranks on him what then I can't do it what oh you get something here on your bed what after allowing Rachel to watch Ben again Rachel tells Ross about a sign tape to his back prompting father to chase son into the hall and onto the stairs which he then appears to fall down well you are in big trouble young man no it's actually a dummy that Ross and Ben are pranking her with but Rachel's shocked reaction was genuine from Aniston The Producers neglected to tell her about it to prompt her to deliver a more authentic performance number seven call for Bob this episode sees Chandler get a phone call by mistake for someone named Bob from a woman with an attractive voice named Jade I barely had the nerd after me so you know what I did what I got a little drunk and naked Bob here pretending to be Bob he sets up a fake date with her and then steps in when Bob doesn't show however his plan goes awry as Jade calls Bob to tell him it didn't go well so uh how was he eh the final scene shows Jade leaving a message on the machine which is overheard by Joey hi it's me it's me Jane's description of what she wants to do with Bob prompts him to trip over himself to get to the phone but if for all time's sake one [Music] although Joey picking up the phone was scripted his hilarious tripping was accidental on Matt leblanc's part and it was so funny they left it in number six cabinet smack Chandler has a lot of unfortunate romances before he finds the one and one of the most dangerous love interests is Rachel's boss Joanna okay but if you don't come back soon there's pretty much nothing I can do about it while fooling around in her office Joanna leaves Chandler handcuffed in there and without any pants things only get more embarrassing When Rachel discovers him there hmm events reach Peak funny though when Chandler punctuates his request to be freed by accidentally opening the filing cabinet drawer he's cuffed to and hitting himself in the head I'm gonna say this for the last time would you please just apparently this was not in the script and Jennifer Aniston can be seen covering her mouth to maintain her composure naturally it was too good not to include in the episode number five Williams and Crystal one of the most memorable openings and cameos in friends history sees two men played by Billy Crystal and Robin Williams enter the gang's usual coffee shop and then engage in a loud conversation so I go over there oh it's a little crowded do you mind if we said yeah could you scooch oh thank you Thomas played by Williams tearfully confesses to Tim played by Crystal that he believes his wife is cheating on him hey why is wrong with me what's the matter team I have a feeling I my wife is sleeping with her gynecologist Tim eventually confirms that it was he that was sleeping with his friend's wife prompting Thomas to storm off in anger enough and you are no longer my friend we are finished not a no more you are a bastard for doing that come on get away from me the entire scene was reportedly improvised by everyone involved including Williams and Crystal Matt leblanc's Interruption and Courtney Cox's declaration that she can't even remember what she wanted to tell her friends so Michael what were you going to tell us I have no idea if we were doing quantity of lines improvised this would easily be number one number four blue blazer black when Joey is down on his luck for having difficulty finding acting work Ross helps him get a job as a Museum tour guide hey you guys check it out check it out guess what job we just got however when the rest of the group sees Joey and his bright new uniform Chandler can't resist making fun of him I don't know but Donald Trump wants his blue blazer black but his awkward insult that Donald Trump wants his blue blazer black was an actual mistake made by actor Matthew Perry who plays her back he you said black why would he want his blue blazer black similarly the rest of the actors mocking him for his mix-up was not in the script and it was all in character enough that the creators left the moment in because it was blazingly funnier than the real line well you you know what I meant no you messed it up stupid number three pages stuck first there's a layer of ladyfingers then a layer of jam then custard which I made from scratch one of the show's famous Thanksgiving episodes also gave rise to one of its greatest improvised and filthiest jokes one plot line features Rachel making a trifle which ends up containing beef and peas of all things then raspberries more lady fingers than beef sauteed with peas and onions and then bananas and then I just put some whipped cream on top when trying to get to the bottom of the confusion Joey and Ross find out that Rachel has accidentally made half a trifle and half a shepherd's pie due to the recipe Pages being stuck together oh my God the pages are stuck together Chandler upon finding this out Joey immediately yells Chandler's name in admonishment for supposedly being responsible for the sticky situation according to the commentary this was made up on the spot number two Q-tip quip hey anybody know a good tailor the season 2 premiere finds Chandler having an unfortunate experience with a tailor when inquiring to his friends about going to see one Chandler is recommended to the Craftsman by Joey boo hens and Haws about when exactly he first went to his tailor I should go see Frankie my family's been going to him forever he did my first suit when I was 15. no way 16. no excuse me 15. all right when was 1990. Joey's poor memory and Incredibly stupid questions about when a particular year was prompt Chandler to deliver a spectacularly scathing quip about stopping a Q-tip when there's resistance in the ear okay you have to stop the Q-tip when there's resistance the remark was invented on the spot by Matthew Perry and it remains one of the actors favorite lines he ever said on the show before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to be notified for occasional videos or all of them if you're on your phone make sure you go into your settings and switch on notifications number one last laugh if that falls off the truck it wouldn't be the worst thing as sad as the final moments of friends are given the 10 years of laughter and joy that preceded them there are still of course some funny times seems smaller somehow is it always been purple one such case is the final line of the series once everyone has packed up their things and goodbyes have been made the gang decides they have time to get coffee do you guys have to go to the new house right away or do you have some time foreign okay should we get some coffee ever a reverend Chandler sarcastically asks where they'll get coffee as if they won't be going to Central Perk sure okay where Matthew Perry reportedly delivered this final quip off the cuff leaving one last Mark of his own on the series do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from mismo Joe and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos
