Top 10 Funniest Jennifer Aniston Bloopers on Friends
#10: “And … Action” "The One with Rachel's Dream"
Top 10 Funniest David Schwimmer Bloopers on Friends
Sometimes, you’re a little ahead of the curve. On set this day, Jennifer Aniston was just that. During this scene, you can see Aniston and Courteney Cox sitting on the famous Central Perk couch. They start to go through their lines, when all of a sudden a voice calls from offstage. Action! Aniston and Cox look at each other, baffled, before looking out to the audience. In a moment of hilarious confusion, Aniston apologizes and says she thought they were already acting. That, folks, is what we call jumping the gun.
#9: The Bra Won’t Come Off "The One with Ross's Tan"
Some “Friends” fans weren’t hugely supportive of the romantic relationship between Joey and Rachel that emerged in later seasons. But at least it gave us hilarious bloopers like this one. As Aniston moves to remove her bra in the interest of saving time, she gets a little stuck. When she can’t get her undergarment off, she curses and scurries into the apartment’s bathroom. Matt LeBlanc, in typical Joey fashion, scurries in after her to complete the outtake in what can only be described as a hilarious move. Leave it to Joey to get the last laugh.
#8: Accidental Phone Call "The One with Joey's New Brain"
This is why you turn your phone off on sets! We’re not quite sure what’s going on in this blooper, but it seems like Jennifer Aniston might’ve forgotten that little rule. It’s unclear whether the phone is actually hers or not, but standing in Phoebe’s apartment, she realizes that someone is talking back to her on the other side of the line. She waves the device around awkwardly as she marvels at the fact that somebody is actually there. She recovers pretty well, though, telling the person that she’ll have to call them back. She is doing a scene, after all!
#7: Let Her Blow "The One Where Eddie Won't Go"
One of the funniest episodes of “Friends” comes in season two, when the women get hold of a little book called “Be Your Own Windkeeper.” After reading this book, Rachel decides she’s going to start making some changes in how she handles her relationship with Ross. In one pivotal moment, she asks him how he expects her to grow if he won’t let her blow. We assume you hear the innuendo. In this blooper, neither Jennifer Aniston nor David Schwimmer can get through the silence that follows this comment with a straight face. And neither can we.
#6: Aniston Curses "The One with the Football"
Listen, most of us know what it’s like to get a little overzealous watching or playing sports. Many of us have let words slip that maybe don’t show us in our finer moments. But most of us aren’t filming in front of a live television audience when this happens. During the season 3 Thanksgiving football episode, Rachel is definitely the weakest link of her team. When she (debatably) almost catches a pass, she brags about it. It’s unclear what Jennifer Aniston messes up here, but Matthew Perry calls her out on it, and that’s when the curse word slips. We’re struggling to make out exactly what Aniston says, but it’s enough to make her cover her face and make the audience howl.
#5: Baby Giggles "The One Where Rachel's Sister Babysits"
Top 20 Baby Yoda Moments
Whenever you’re working with children, things can get a little wonky. Especially if that child is as young as the literal baby playing Ross and Rachel’s daughter Emma. In more than a few blooper clips, the actress portraying Emma (usually Cali or Noelle Sheldon, depending on the scene), lets out some giggles. This particular moment with Christina Applegate stands out as our favorite. When Applegate, as Rachel’s sister, says that she’s marrying her old beau’s dad, the little one lets out the cutest giggle we’ve ever heard. Naturally, Jennifer Aniston can’t help but laugh as well.
#4: “Pivot!” "The One with the Cop"
One of the most hilarious scenes in “Friends” history also amounted to one of the funniest bloopers in “Friends” history. And Jennifer Aniston was part of both of them. In “The One with the Cop,” Rachel and Chandler are helping Ross move his new couch up the stairs into his apartment. Ross starts yelling the word “pivot” at the pair with an increasingly strange cadence. Finally, Chandler tells him to shut up. Fortunately for us, the trio was not always able to nail this without laughing, and we got a hysterical outtake out of it. Between Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, and Aniston, it seems someone was constantly breaking out into giggles.
#3: The Kid Knows Aniston’s Line "The One with the Truth About London"
Actors forget their lines — it’s totally natural. But sometimes, an unexpected co-star might be able to help out. When he was a child, long before “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” Cole Sprouse played Ross’ son Ben on “Friends”. While filming a scene with him, Jennifer Aniston forgets her line. Who should cut in with the right piece of dialogue but Sprouse himself. In a sassy little move, he flicks his hand at Aniston in a “no big deal” sign. She takes the barb from him, but not before she returns the hand gesture herself.
#2: Monkey Business "The One Where the Monkey Gets Away"
Working with animals is hard. Usually, you’re probably working with a dog, or maybe even a cat. But early in “Friends,” the cast worked closely with none other than a monkey. Ross’ pet Marcel was reportedly played by two monkeys, one named Katie and one named Monkey. In this early scene, Jennifer Aniston is sharing the set with Katie. As Aniston tries to explain the inner workings of a soap opera, Katie seemingly gets bored. She starts hopping around the couch while the actress unsuccessfully tries to get her to calm down, to great comedic effect. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. Outfit Struggle, "The One Where Rachel Finds Out" Wardrobe Malfunction to the Max “I Spit on Her”, "The One with the Fake Monica" Talk About a Spit Take “Don’t Give Me That Look”, "The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies" We’ve All Gotten Names Mixed Up Before! “You Used to Be Able to Act”, "The One with the Secret Closet" Shots Fired at David Schwimmer Almost Destroying the Tape, "The One with the Videotape" Everyone Shouting Nonsense at Aniston Is Impossible Not to Laugh At
#1: The Bagpipes "The One with Joey's New Brain"
Top 20 Funniest Friends Bloopers
Ross playing the bagpipes is a signature “Friends” moment. Even if this famous blooper hadn’t started making the rounds on the Internet, the scene itself would’ve been an all-timer. But the outtake does make it particularly special. Lisa Kudrow is the focus of the clip, as she struggles to keep it together while imitating the bagpipe sound. But actually, everybody loses their composure. And Jennifer Aniston is the secret star of this one. She truly can barely keep it together, and we don’t blame her. In fact, her struggling not to laugh and giggling actually made it into the final cut of the episode!
