An icon of its generation, the NBC sitcom Friends introduced power couples like Rachel-Ross and Chandler-Monica. The world of reel often has a way of transcending into the real, especially with a love story like that of Rachel Green and Ross Geller. While the question still lingers whether or not they were on break, what one knows is how they fell in love. And also about the one who spilled the beans. It was only the first season, very much like the show their love was also in its ushering stage.

Now the deleted scene on the surface from the episode of The One Where Rachel Finds Out has got the internet cracking up.

The first season of Friends was a starter to the main course. And the last episode of the same was where the flare of love took its flight. It was still a time when people did not grasp the recognition this show was about to make. In The One Where Rachel Finds Out, Rachel discovers Ross’ feelings for her. And the one who let the cat out of the bag was none other than Chandler Bing. With the never-seen-before-scene now on the surface, it intervenes the moment Rachel returns to the apartment from the airport. 

Having missed the chance to meet Ross, she makes the announcement. The video captures Chandler’s comedic merriment once he finds out Rachel’s amiss. Earlier, while unpacking Rachel’s birthday gifts, Chandler shed the mystery. Although he justifies his humorous gala with the bait of “pizza coupons”, for the ones who know, well, of course, they know.

As the custodian of secrets, Chandler Bing really gave the best moments of laughter. His relationship with secrets was, well, no secret. Therefore, whenever something was under wraps, Bing was intentionally excluded. While that had happened countless times throughout the sitcom, a recurring memory of the most noteworthy example still makes the audience hysterical. In the episode, The One Where Rachel Tells.., the inauguration starts with revealing the best-kept mystery.

Following Rachel’s exit from the apartment after showering with the news of her pregnancy, the others finally reveal the plans for Ross and Rachel’s baby to Chandler. Upon hearing the same, Chandler reacts, perplexed, having been kept in the dark. He says, “I am an excellent secret keeper”. It is not just about the irony, but his quirky dialogue delivery. At least for the ones who knew his dictums of confidentiality, there was no way that the phrase would have gone down without a giggle.
