When it comes to fanbase from TV Series, FRIENDS is one of the shows with the biggest and best fans who love the show and its character with passion. But they loved the characters’ relationship, one of the ‘ships’ they loved was Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer as a couple, and it was their on-screen chemistry that made the fans love the show even more.
The show has a plethora of iconic moments during its run, but what made the scenes iconic was that numerous scenes that the fans love and remember were not scripted, and it was the idea of the cast members to prank their co-stars. One such instance was the bagpiper scene where Ross was playing the bagpiper and Jennifer Aniston could not control her laughter, and Lisa Kudrow’s reaction alone made it more iconic.
