The entire world is hyping Barbie and Oppenheimer‘s release. While these two movies are making historic moments, fans are hyping over this forgotten moment from the ’90s sitcom Friends. The 1994 sitcom, where 6 friends live together throughout the show, has some iconic moments. One of them was resurrected amidst the global hype around the recently released films.

While Oppenheimer talks about a horrific historic nuclear invention by J. Robert Oppenheimer, Barbie talks about an entirely different theme. The Greta Gerwig movie redefines the purpose of toys with the undertone of generalizing gender roles. Amidst these two films, a clip from the show, Friends caught the attention of fans. The clip features Ross trying to convince his son, Ben, not to play with the Barbie. Although Ben holds tight to his doll and neglects his father’s attempts to make him play with a monster truck or a dino soldier.
