The Uber Eats spot also features Jelly Roll, Victoria and David Beckham, and Usher
David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston, beloved for playing Ross and Rachel on Friends, are back together. Or, at least, they reunited to tape a Super Bowl commercial for Uber Eats.
In the clip, which also stars Jelly Roll, Victoria and David Beckham, and Usher, Aniston accepts her Uber Eats delivery backstage on a studio lot. She informs her assistant that in order to remember to use Uber Eats “you’ve gotta forget something else.” Unfortunately the thing she ends up forgetting is Schwimmer, who attempts to hug her. “Worked together for 10 years,” he reminds her.
The ad is a riff on Uber Eats’ motto of “Whatever you forget, just remember Uber Eats gets almost anything.” Elsewhere in the commercial, the Beckhams can’t remember the name of Victoria’s formative band (Basil Babes?) and Jelly Roll is perplexed by the tattoos on his face.
Aniston and Schwimmer last reunited onscreen in 2021 for HBO Max special Friends: The Reunion. The reunion feature also included Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, and Matthew Perry, who died last year.
Schwimmer remembered his co-star and friend in a tribute on social media, writing, “Thank you for ten incredible years of laughter and creativity. I will never forget your impeccable comic timing and delivery. You could take a straight line of dialogue and bend it to your will, resulting in something so entirely original and unexpectedly funny it still astonishes.”
The surviving Friends cast also issued a joint statement remembering Perry after his death. “We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew,” they said. “We were more than just cast mates. We are a family. There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.”
