Even the stars of “Friends”\u00a0couldn’t help but crack up at some of the misadventures the Central Perk gang got up to.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow, who played Rachel and Phoebe on the hit NBC sitcom, reunited for Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series<\/a> this week and reminisced about their days together on “Friends”\u00a0\u2014\u00a0and all the times they couldn’t stop laughing while trying to shoot a scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I did love, with all my heart, all of us cracking up, including me, when Ross is playing the bagpipes,”\u00a0Kudrow recalled, referring to the Season 7 episode “The One With Joey’s New Brain,”\u00a0where Ross offers to play bagpipes at Monica and Chandler’s wedding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There was “nothing funnier,”\u00a0Aniston agreed, with the two giggling as they remembered Phoebe offering to sing along with Ross’ bagpipes \u2014\u00a0with a high-pitched screech.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“When I watch it,”\u00a0Kudrow admitted,\u00a0“I’m just like, ‘Oh, I’m fully laughing!’…\u00a0But I did crack up in tears, I laughed so hard.”<\/p>\n

#JenniferAniston<\/a> says there’s “nothing funnier” than Ross playing the bagpipes on #Friends<\/a> during her #ActorsOnActors<\/a> episode with #LisaKudrow<\/a>, where the two reveal their telltale signs for breaking character on set.<\/p>\n

“I was the worst,” Kudrow admits. “When I watch it, I’m just… pic.twitter.com\/BYZG3PtLjA<\/a><\/p>\n

Another Friends scene with Joey had Lisa Kudrow laughing hard<\/p>\n

NBC<\/p>\n

That wasn’t the only “Friends”\u00a0scene that had Lisa Kudrow holding back laughs on set, though:\u00a0She also pinpointed a Season 8 episode, “The One in Massapequa,”\u00a0with a particularly funny moment from Matt LeBlanc’s Joey. After Phoebe tosses an oyster on the floor at a party, Joey complains that “I slipped on a giant booger!”<\/p>\n

“He thought that an oyster-sized booger came out of someone’s nose!”\u00a0Kudrow said through laughs, with Aniston adding:\u00a0“Oh, God, LeBlanc was so good! And he played that really not smart guy so well.”<\/p>\n

Kudrow also admitted that she never watched “Friends”\u00a0after it aired because “I just couldn’t sit there at home and have anybody walk by seeing me watching a show that I’m in. Because it felt embarrassing to me.”\u00a0But she recently started watching the show again, and she\u00a0got caught up binge-watching just like the rest of us:\u00a0“I’d end up sitting there for three hours, and then it’s like two in the morning: ‘I need to go to bed! This is bad!’ But oh, it made me so happy to watch it.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
