Were we friends? Jennifer Aniston doesn’t recognize David Schwimmer in hilarious Super Bowl spot | CNN
In a surreal twist that seems straight out of a parallel universe, Jennifer Aniston finds herself struggling to recall her “Friends” co-star David Schwimmer in a fresh Super Bowl LVIII ad. The ad, released recently, showcases Aniston, among others, experiencing memory lapses to emphasize that food delivery service Uber Eats offers more than just meals.
Aniston, playing herself, encounters Schwimmer on a bustling Hollywood set, prompting an awkward interaction. Schwimmer attempts to initiate a warm embrace, only to be met with Aniston’s puzzled expression and a genuine question: “Have we met?” Despite Schwimmer’s attempts to jog her memory of their decade-long collaboration on “Friends,” Aniston remains perplexed, expressing disbelief at the idea of forgetting a significant portion of her life.
The commercial playfully references the iconic on-screen relationship between Schwimmer and Aniston’s characters, Ross Geller and Rachel Green, on the beloved sitcom “Friends,” which aired from 1994 to 2004. The show chronicled the lives of six friends navigating the complexities of work, relationships, and the amusing challenges of everyday life in New York City.
