Courteney Cox recreated her famous Thanksgiving turkey head dance from 'Friends'

Asking for a Friend: once a turkey has been worn as a helmet, can you still stuff it, roast it, carve it, and serve it up to guests? Because it seems like a big waste of meat to do otherwise, especially around American Thanksgiving. Sometimes, however, putting a raw bird carcass on your head (for the second time) is the only way to silence the horde who, every SINGLE year for 22 years, have been reminding you of the first time you did it.Tired of being sent the same old GIF of a thing she did in 1998, Courteney Cox decided to one up the Friends fans who have turned a brief moment spent inside some poultry into an annual Thanksgiving meme by… doing it again. Bet you didn’t see that coming.The iconic turkey dance originally takes place in a fifth season episode appropriately titled ‘The One With All The Thanksgivings.’ The plot is constructed out of a series of holiday flashbacks to traumatic turkey dinners of years gone by. The reminiscing is spurred on by Ross, who’s getting both divorced and evicted, and has been claiming that he’s having the worst Thanksgiving ever. One of the bad Thanksgiving tales involves Joey getting a Butterball stuck on his head. Another reveals the true story behind a twenty-something Chandler losing his toe (the fault is mostly Monica’s) and so, as a way of saying sorry, she recreates the Joey-in-a-turkey moment, which looks like this:Not only does Chandler forgive Monica mid-dance, but he also tells her he loves her for the first time. Joey, however, is traumatized all over again. Turkey PTSD is no joke.And so, perhaps in the hope of replacing the old GIF with something more fresh for 2020, Cox decided to do the turkey dance again, this time on Instagram. Backed by the Friends theme song, the actor gives her adoring fans something to be thankful for, sunglasses and all. And like Chandler before us, we love her for it.
