The Friends reunion was worth it just for this glorious meme.
Unless you have been living under a rock, you are probably aware that the Friends Reunion episode aired in Ireland last Thursday and got a huge reaction.
The general consensus seems to be mixed-to-positive. While audiences were less fond of the non-Friends-related celebrity guest appearances, viewers were just happy to see the actors who played Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey, and Ross reunited and reminiscing about old times.
One takeaway some people who watched the special did have was that Matt LeBlanc (who played struggling actor and food-loving womaniser Joey Tribbiani) appears to be as fun and charming as his much-loved character.
That said, Twitter users have begun screenshotting a moment of the special in which LeBlanc seems to embody every Irish auld man and the results are hilarious.
Below JOE has selected ten of the best examples.
