Shooting the series seemed to be just as fun. It was quite the process behind the scenes when it came to putting together an episode. We'll take a look at the trifle episode and what went on behind the scenes.

The Cast Of Friends Was Known For Improvising Their Own Lines

Although an episode of Friends usually ranged between 20-22 minutes on television, it was very much a different story on-set, as production could usually last five hours or more, depending on the amount of sets used on the day.

The iconic sitcom had a different way of shooting, if a line didn't hit with the audience, the writers did not hesitate to change it on the spot. A lot of the time, the writers would even ask the cast themselves on their input - Matthew Perry was trusted a lot to come up with his own lines when one didn't land and as per usual, the actor would hit it out of the park.

Another iconic improv moment featured Chandler stuck in Rachel's boss' office. When Chandler tries to free himself of the handcuffs, he accidentally hits his head on the filing cabinet. Somehow, he was able to keep it together while Aniston also held in her laugh - the duo created an iconic moment.

In truth, one of the writers revealed that the episode sprung to life due to a debate behind the scenes. "It sprung from a debate in the writer's about a trifle versus tripe, an edible part of a cow's stomach."

There were other doubts still, as some writers doubted Rachel would make such an error - though let's keep in mind, the internet was still behind at the time.

It turned out to be quite the episode, in large part, thanks to the brilliant acting from the cast, especially David Schwimmer.

David Schwimmer Pitched The "It Taste Like Feet Line"

“There’s no way I can write this so that it’s believable,” Malins recollects thinking. “All credit to this, and everything else in life, goes to the cast. Because we could write the craziest s— and then they could make it believable every time.”

Not only did the cast thrive during the scene, but David Schwimmer's iconic "it taste like feet" line was totally made up by the actor. “That was one-thousand percent David Schwimmer’s idea, and it was super, super funny,” he says. “I laughed right then when he pitched it.”

A key to the scene was making sure that at the very least, the trifle looked edible. “We did say at the production meeting that it should not look gross,” explains Malins. “Because Rachel needed to think she did it right and made a beautiful dessert. If someone puts beef and peas in a trifle, you can’t make that believable – but that cast made everything work.”

Credit also goes to Matt LeBlanc for the scene, who responded in typical Joey-fashion, enjoying the cake, which fans absolutely loved.
