Unless you have never seen Friends or seen any Friends-related posts, you are probably familiar with Phoebe Buffay. The character, played by Lisa Kudrow, is one of the main characters in the popular American sitcom. People are reminded of her again after a video shared on Instagram went viral. The video depicts two women’s reactions to spotting someone who resembles the character.
“Is she for real?” reads the caption posted alongside the video on Instagram. The clip begins with the text, “POV you saw real-life Phoebe Buffay in the center of Athens.” The clip then shows a street musician dressed as the show’s character. The background score makes the video even more interesting to watch. It is the Smelly Cat jingle from the show, which Phoebe Buffay frequently sang.
Five days ago, the video was shared. The video has received over 1.5 million views since it was posted, and the number is still growing. Several comments have also been left on the video.
“She is Regina Phalange,” an Instagram user joked, referring to Phoebe Buffay’s alter ego Regina Phalange. “That is completely Regina,” said another. “No dude, it is Ursula,” said another, referring to another character, Phoebe Buffay’s twin sister. “Phoebe, on the other hand, does not play the cello,” wrote a fourth.
