Courteney Cox Was Moving A Table And Couldn't Pass Up An Opportunity To Quote A Classic 'Friends' Scene

Fans of Friends will enjoy Courteney Cox's newest Instagram video. In it, she has three people helping her to move a large desk down the hall and into another room. Courteney begins by offering advice, yelling "Pivot!" several times.


Fans of the show might recognize the line from a scene with Ross, played by David Schwimmer, and Chandler, played by Matthew Perry. In the iconic scene, Ross and Chandler are attempting to move a very large couch up a flight of stairs and find it tricky to maneuver it properly.

Earlier in the scene, Rachel, played by Jennifer Aniston, attempted to help Ross move the couch up the stairs by herself. They were unsuccessful, and this led to the couch being dropped over the railing and back to the ground floor.

A later attempt with Ross, Chandler, and Rachel results in Chandler becoming pinned between the couch and the stair wall, and the couch getting stuck. All-in-all a complete (but hilarious) disaster. Chandler's response of "Shut up, shut up, Shut uuup!" was the icing on the cake.

The table in Courteney's Instagram story proved to be a bit less of a challenge, but it wasn't all smooth sailing.


Quite a few people professed their love of the iconic scene.





Several people confessed to reenacting the scene themselves.







Many fans will be glad to know that even after the nearly 15 years since the last episode of Friends, the show's stars still remember and find joy in it.

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Dunks On Trump For Hosting The Kennedy Center Honors

California Governor Gavin Newsom trolled President Donald Trump by sharing an AI-generated photo of himself accepting the inaugural—and not real—"Kennedy Center peace prize" from Trump.

The photo accompanied a post in which Newsom mocked not just Trump but also Ric Grenell, the Kennedy Center's president, whom Newsom referred to as a "janitor" in a post that—like many of Newsom's past posts—is written in a style not unlike the rants Trump publishes on Truth Social.

Matthew Lillard Shares Heartbreaking Reaction After Quentin Tarantino Criticizes His Acting

Actor Matthew Lillard has built a career out of playing the chaotic, the heartfelt, and the unexpectedly unforgettable, from Scream to The Descendants to She’s All That and even James Gunn’s early live-action Scooby-Doo movies.

And yet, none of it has managed to charm Quentin Tarantino, who recently announced that he does not care for Lillard’s acting. Or, apparently, for Lillard at all. During an appearance on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, Tarantino casually tossed Lillard onto a list of actors he thinks miss the mark.
