FDNY Commemoration
Friends aired for ten seasons, during which various tragic world events occurred, the most devastating of which was the 9/11 attacks. The show couldn’t stay silent any longer, so they paid tribute in the only way they knew how: with Easter eggs.
The show’s creators would place easter eggs of the FDNY insignia in the scenes as a tribute to the New York City Fire Department, which sacrificed their lives to save victims in the towers that day. This is seen on Joey’s shirt and the dry-erase board at Chandler and Joey’s.
