Just Keep Acting
Year: 1997
Mistake: Matthew Perry didn’t intend to hit head on the cabinet
With a cast full of comedy maestros like Friends, it’s no wonder they knew how to improvise and turn a scene into comedy gold when things went off-script. One hilarious moment unfolds when Chandler finds himself in an awkward predicament, getting a little too close to Rachel’s boss and ending up handcuffed in her office.
As he desperately seeks assistance, Rachel, fearing the consequences, hesitates. This leads to a side-splitting sequence where Chandler attempts to make a hurried dash across the room, only to be painfully reminded that he’s handcuffed to a filing cabinet. Now, here’s the twist: that drawer smacking him in the head wasn’t part of the original script but was an ad-libbed gem that added an extra layer of hilarity to the scene.
