“Friends” Joke Comes Full Circle

The new year has brought a payoff to a joke from 17 years ago. A 2003 episode of Friends saw Monica and Chandler delayed in leaving for a romantic getaway to Vermont, due to Ross and Rachel’s baby Emma taking a long nap before her 1st Birthday Party. Ross is making a video to show Emma on her 18th birthday and Chandler quips “Hi Emma. It’s the year 2020. Are you still enjoying your nap?!”

Noelle Sheldon, who played baby Emma along with her twin sister Cali, hit up Instagram to ring in the New Year with a reference to Uncle Chandler’s remark. Check it out below along with the original clip, plus a fun meme passed along on the tbaytel Talk & Text Line by Rebecca!
