One Of Jennifer Aniston's Favorite Friends Moments Involved Guest Star Ben Stiller

In the show's 10-season tenure, there is one episode of "Friends" that star Jennifer Aniston still cannot get over. In an interview with Stylist, Aniston revealed that her favorite scene in the show was one where Ben Stiller raged at a chick and a duck: "An episode with Ben Stiller and the chick and the duck ... There really are so many funny moments and so many amazing memories of that show. I'm very lucky." This episode was the only time Stiller guest-starred, and it is arguably one of the funniest episodes of "Friends."

This scene happened in Season 3, Episode 22, titled "The One with the Screamer." Airing on April 24, 1997, the episode guest-starred Ben Stiller as Tommy, Rachel Green's (Jennifer Aniston) date. After Rachel reveals to Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) that she has a date for Joey's play, Ross discovers Tommy's incredibly short fuse when he lashes out at an elderly couple for no reason. When he tries to tell Rachel what he found, she assumes he is lying and trying to sabotage her date. Ross is intent on exposing Tommy's short temper, and he manages to do so when the friend group, including Rachel, discovers Tommy screaming his head off at a baby chick that urinated on him.

Jennifer Aniston isn't the only cast member who loved the episode. In the 2021 "Friends: The Reunion" documentary, Aniston brought up Ben Stiller when the subject shifted to the guest stars: "Ben. One of our biggest laughs ever." The rest of the cast heartily agreed with this sentiment. Plus, an Access Hollywood interview (via Rayo) with Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, and Lisa Kudrow revealed Kudrow's favorite guest stars: "I was blown away by so many. Ben Stiller was really funny."

Aniston holds Stiller's comedic skills in high regard. Season 3, Episode 22, was the first time they were on-screen together, and they later went on to star as the leads in the 2004 rom-com "Along Came Polly." "There's never a moment where you feel like he's playing comedy," she explained in a ComingSoon.net interview. "He just pulls it right out from the truth and it's brilliant." Stiller had a similar opinion about Aniston's comedic talent, describing her as "one of the few actresses I've known who, she has such impeccable timing as a comedienne/actress."
