Vanessa does NOT get enough credit, she is constantly overshadowed by Kate. She almost NEVER breaks! I don’t know how she held it together here! Their chemistry and timing are incredible
It's called phase cancellation, when two audio sources sound way too similar some frequencies cancel each other out, resulting in a cool effect and in this case almost inhuman sound.
It was funny the first 30 seconds, then it went on for a minute more. In the end the basically admit through Anniston it's not that great and that it goes on for too long, which is just a cop out for lazy writing. It's like making a show about making a show and being all pretentiously self critical and aware, while actually admiring oneself in the mirror. But I suppose that's describing the millenial generation to a tee, so they eat it all up.
Vanessa Bayer's coy and authentic sincerity really sells this as with everything she does. It wouldn't hurt to bring her back in guest slots and she'd be an excellent host.
I saw bits when she was first working on it on stage and I was expecting this and it was...a work in progress. But now that she's gotten here it's hilarious to me.
@@leob4403 That is actually good observation. It can be both. grabbing hand like that or patting on the upper back (in the mid spine or near shoulder area) these can be either comforting gesture or a complete power move. I personally find her to be very dominant. If you see in the early interviews/shows she did not have these gestures, but in later times or now she has it. my conspiracy theory is she learnt to be dominant to survive in the industry.
Yes Friends was 5 million years ago, but it was one of the top 5 best-written comedies in history (after season 2 of course). Nothing has come close, in like 2 million years.
Mate, you know this is the TH-cam comments section, right? And just stating that a girl is cute is far from the most controversial opinion going on around here.
Nooo never! They were the cool and good looking FRIENDS I've never had! I know this is sad, but all my «friends» were boring, uninteresting and they kinda smelled funny. LOL.
The audience was so caught up and mesmerized, they missed the 2 ladies saying "Oh, Ross" in unison. I still caught it though! Friends & Living Single 4-ever!!!
She did an amazing job capturing Rachel's essence. The character doesn't have a specific thing that's really obvious or "out there", and yet she managed to channel all of Rachel's little mannerisms and sounds. Amazing!!
"Phoebs!" That was my favorite part. And with all that going on, she managed to fit it into one of the rare split seconds of quiet so you could hear it. Her timing is ridiculous.
This has already been said, but that synchronicity at 3:19 with both of their voices in exact unison caused a stereo reaction in my ears that I still cannot get over...
I've been binge watching Friends for all 10 seasons over the past few weeks and I can easily say after hearing Rachel's voice nonstop, her impression is on POINT.
Amy I was referring to when I was actually watching the whole episode so I didn't really know what was coming. There was a faint thought like "hmm wouldn't be great if Aniston just popped out out of- OH MY GOD"
Collin Lea I think Dwayne Johnson hates the Rock so that probably won’t happen. I don’t even think they look alike idk why everyone thinks they look alike
“Vannesa what are you doing?” “WHAT? Oh! Yeah.. well” (still impersonating) “Can you just drop that for a second?” “... (still impersonating but quieter)...yeah...”
@Jack Penny This comment is absolutely disgusting. How dare you focus on a ridiculous and incorrect stereotypes. Perhaps instead of posting nasty comments like this on social media you should take the time to learn about other cultures and understand people as humans.
@Jack Penny The level of ignorance in this malicious statement is not only sad and startling, but repulsive. I hope one day you learn to drop the bigotry and hate, and work towards being a kind, thoughtful, and compassionate human being.
Lately when I have a horrible day, I watch this clip...it makes me feel better..and I laugh like I haven't seen it...and Vanessa's sly smile after they say Ross..lol..
I am typing this on my pad and the ‘friend’ is being played on my tv from Netflix. I will never be moved on from friends because nothing’s more natural than this show. Thank u friends for being our generation’s show n I am blessed that i witnessed MJ and Friends on live tv in my 10s and 20s. Nothing gets better than this. Nothing else.
It also hasn’t aged well. Have you seen Rachel’s other appearance on Weekend Update (no Aniston in that one). At one pony she points at Che and says “what’s that?” Mystified, Jost says, “that’s Michael Che”, then Che explains, “dude, she’s from ‘Friends’. She’s never seen a black person”. Still love the show, very ‘90s.
Friends reminds me of nothing but that aweful feeling that such a good time spent watching it has gone so long by...aaah it hurts to recollect it... cause alongside those memories there is realisation it was long back...
DUDE. THE IMPRESSION IS TOO GOOD IT IS SCARY
What impression? All I see is two Rachels.
@@EwWhoIsTHAT oh my god you are right!
I hear it when I close my eyes

Never heard an Aniston impression as on point as that. Scarily accurate.
Yeah that girl on the left is so good
@@andrewoshawott1611 Yeah, and she got the hair just right. They should have her on again. Give her her own bit.
That's not a Jennifer Aniston impression. That's Rachel from friends!! How she acts in friends!

You should tell her. Coming from you she’ll be real impressed.

They had me at "Phebes!"
@@KondaaKage yes. that one right there. it's almost scary.
And the tone of the "ROOSSS"
Settle down.
Vanessa does NOT get enough credit, she is constantly overshadowed by Kate. She almost NEVER breaks! I don’t know how she held it together here! Their chemistry and timing are incredible
I love her jewish kid bit.
kate has a sort of crazy in her eyes that is comedic gold
She got stuck between kristen and kate, but she is awesome, I'm sure she will have a great career out of snl
Well and Cecily she can't break character for nothing
I think they're all very good: Vanessa Bayer, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig and Cecily Strong. 🙂

Keran Kerai she is amazingly hilarious!!
The "Pheebs" bit is great and it seems it caught Jen off guard too.
Her voice is SPOT ON. I swear, close your eyes, and it really sounds like her :D
RorySeizeTheDay could it BE anymore accurate?
With a bit of Kermit.
RorySeizeTheDay i closed my eyes and then i opened them and jennifer anniston was on the screen, so it really works
eyes wide shut
Uummm….. not really, but good enough for the bit.
She did a REALLY good impression omg 😂
Ellen R SO spot on!! Haha
except Vanessa is good looking and jennifer is old and a dude!
John shears I can't believe you just called one of the hottest women in the world a dude.
What? Nooo... What?
randomflashbacks Considering how old she is, she's still ridiculously hot. It's quite an achievement
“Can you just drop that for a second?”
“Em ... yeah!”
2:11
so subtle yet the funniest part for me
That was some damn good acting.
@aberas Yes
Great comedy chops. :)
That part had me in stitches too hahaha
Vanessa Bayer's coy and authentic sincerity really sells this as with everything she does. It wouldn't hurt to bring her back in guest slots and she'd be an excellent host.
"WHAT!? NO!? MON! PHEEBS! WHAT!?... ROSS!!!" That part made me burst out laughing! And I love how they forgot about Chandler lol.
Could they BE any more rude?
Not surprising. They even forgot his birthday, and the fact that he didn't wear glasses. So, forgetting Chandler is staying true to the character.
@jojofromtx Joey was mentioned.
Hahahha
He went to that lady puberty show again. Chapter 527 : my grandson's first period

I love how every skit I’ve seen Jennifer in she always grabs someone’s hands in a comforting way it’s amazing
It could be also be viewed as a "power move" to assert social dominance

She nailed it with that one word alone
That's actually great impersonation by Vanessa. Sooooo Raechel.
Yeah
*cough* typical Rachel
why are people arguing like this in the comments lmao
Is Vanessa single?
@Mike Knight never saw Friends.
The only thing she missed was the throat clear before almost every sentence.
That's something Ross does
@@ericwilkinson42 this is what the internet was made for
@@ericwilkinson42 Thanks for the link. That was the funniest thing ever. I don't know how I missed that.

Good one
Nope Mr. Chandler Bing
Could I _BE_ wearing any more clothes??
Ok, Chandler!😉
3:19 the way their voice harmonizes!!!
Break up with your girlfriend i am Bored it was so spot on it reminded me of A Monologue For Three by Britanick :D
Vanessa's satisfied grin at evoking Jen's true Rachel at 3:33 is outstanding.
That synchronized “what?!” at 3:15 tore a hole through the universe.
It’s 3:19
That was the best synchronized moment in TV history
Could it BE anymore synchronized?
it's well rehearsed....
@@woddenhorse 😂🤣
That smile after “Ross” is the greatest victory smile of all time.

Could she sound ANY more like Jennifer Aniston?

I Was not expecting Jennifer Aniston to Show Up! Loved It!
I was, because it said so in the description.
I didn't read the description
who reads the description before the video?????????????????????????
I only has Vanessa and Colin
exactly
"Phoebs!" That was my favorite part. And with all that going on, she managed to fit it into one of the rare split seconds of quiet so you could hear it. Her timing is ridiculous.
MrBook you're dead on. Earlier or later....she's OFF. And she was DeadON!!!
