Always Knowing Just What to Do, Ross and Rachel!
A surprising event unfolded as Jennifer Aniston appeared to have missed recognizing her co-star David Schwimmer in a new Super Bowl LVIII advertisement. The ad, revealed on Tuesday, shows Aniston, along with others, making an effort to remember that Uber Eats offers more than just food.
var pref_connatix_event_title_prefix = ‘ConnatixLarge’;var prefMainPlayer=pref_connatix_event_title_prefix;var pref_connatix_catapultx_id = ‘tdw-main-player’;
!function(n){if(!window.cnxps){window.cnxps={},window.cnxps.cmd=[];var t=n.createElement(‘iframe’);t.display=’none’,t.onload=function(){var n=t.contentWindow.document,c=n.createElement(‘script’);c.src=”//cd.connatix.com/connatix.playspace.js”,c.setAttribute(‘async’,’1′),c.setAttribute(‘type’,’text/javascript’),n.body.appendChild(c)},n.head.appendChild(t)}}(document);
cnxps.cmd.push(function () {
cnxps({
playerId: getUrsCtxStoryPlayer() ,”customParam1″:getUrsPI(),”customParam2″:getUrsSTI(),”customParam3″:”ConnatixMain”,settings: {queryJsTargeting:{apsTargetingKey:getUrsTI().split(‘_’).slice(0,1).join(‘_’).toLowerCase()},advertising: {macros: {“CustomMacro1″:getUrsPI(),”CustomMacro2″:getUrsSTI(),”CustomMacro3″:”ConnatixMain”}}}
}).render(‘307852102563439fa7d193066a4208a5’,connatix_js_ready_callback);
});
While Schwimmer tries to greet her on a bustling Hollywood set, Aniston asks, “Have we been introduced?” surprising Schwimmer with her apparent memory lapse. Despite Schwimmer’s attempts to jog her memory by mentioning their decade-long partnership, Aniston remains confused, leading him to quip, “You still don’t remember, do you?”
Aniston’s response, “I hate this town,” as she walks away grumbling about erasing a decade of her life, adds to the humor of the situation. Although the ad comically portrays Aniston’s character forgetting her on-screen bond with Schwimmer, viewers fondly recall their iconic portrayals as Ross Geller and Rachel Green in the beloved sitcom “Friends,” which aired from 1994 to 2004.

“Friends” followed the lives of six friends navigating careers, relationships, and the everyday moments in New York City, featuring Aniston, Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and the late Matthew Perry.
Despite Aniston’s lighthearted forgetfulness in the ad, the reunion between these two old friends is warmly welcomed, especially since their last on-screen appearance together during Max’s “Friends” reunion special in 2021. (Max and CNN share the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.)
The Super Bowl LVIII ad campaign also features forgetful moments from Super Bowl Halftime Show performer Usher, musician Jelly Roll, and David and Victoria Beckham, contributing to the entertainment and humor of the commercial series.
