Friends fans reckon this blooper is funnier than the actual, absolutely iconic, scene from the show.
And like many hilarious moments from the sitcom, it features actor Matthew Perry.
Best known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends, the star died yesterday (28 September).

He was reportedly found in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home, aged 54.
NBC – the network which aired the beloved sitcom - confirmed the tragic news in a statement, writing: “We are incredibly saddened by the too soon passing of Matthew Perry.
“He brought so much joy to hundreds of millions of people around the world with his pitch-perfect comedic timing and wry wit. His legacy will live on through countless generations.”
The actor played Chandler for all 10 seasons of Friends from 1994 to 2004, becoming a global name for his beloved comedic performance.
While his character has many, many, stand-out moments, who could forget the pivot scene?

In season five episode ‘The One with the Cop’, Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) is screaming ‘pivot’ at Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) and Chandler as they try to move a way-too-big sofa up a small flight of stairs into his apartment.
But a clip from behind-the-scenes reveals the actors found it just as funny as we do.
Shared online, the three stars are in absolutely stitches as they struggle to say their lines between laughter.
Schwimmer keeps sarcastically yelling ‘pivot’ as Aniston has to walk away.

Perry ends up falling to the ground as he points at his co-star in hysteric laughter, with them having to cut filming as they couldn’t control themselves.
And fans reckon the blooper is just as funny - if not funnier - with one user writing on TikTok: “Friends bloopers are the peak of comedy – sorry you can’t change my mind.”
Another put: “There is a lot of Friends bloopers. This is by far the funniest blooper in Friends blooper history.”
Schwimmer also previously said filming that scene is probably the ‘hardest I’ve laughed in my life’.

Since the news of Perry’s death, fans have flooded social media with tributes to the actor, commenting on his last Instagram post: “Thank you for all of the laughter and joy you brought to the world.
“I hope you are at peace, and know how much you were beloved - truly beloved - by the world. Rest peacefully, F.R.I.E.N.D.”
An investigation into Perry’s death is ongoing and a cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
There was no apparent foul play.
