For example, when you type in “Phoebe Buffay,” you’ll see an image of a guitar on the far right side of the screen. When you press it, you’ll hear her infamous “Smelly Cat” song.

And when you look for “Ross Geller,” you’ll notice an illustration of a couch. Each time you tap it, you’ll hear him scream “pivot” before he gives up and says “I don’t think it’s gonna pivot anymore.”

Google isn’t the only brand to pay tribute to the iconic show.

Lego recently released a Central Park set that includes the characters. And Utah-based communications company Frontier Communications offered one "Friends" super fan a chance to win $1,000 if they could watch 25 hours straight of the show.

“Friends” ran from to 1994 to 2004, lasting 10 seasons. During its run, it racked up 62 Primetime Emmy Awards and won the outstanding comedy series award in 2002.
