Friends: The Reunion dropped on HBO Max this week and it’s been a delight for fans of the original sitcom. Jennifer Aniston (Rachel Green), Courteney Cox (Monica Geller), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay), David Schwimmer (Ross Geller), Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani), and Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing) all reunited for the event, and it’s had Twitter abuzz. Many folks were freaking out about some of the reunion’s special guests while others were bummed by the big absences. The latest Friends hot topic of Twitter is centered on LeBlanc and his current look. “Irish Twitter” went into a frenzy last night, cracking jokes and comparing the actor to Irish uncles.

Before productions were shut down last year, LeBlanc appeared on an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show and opened up about the reunion, referring to it as “the six of us together talking about the good old days.” The actor also said, “We got the band back together without the instruments.”

I just hope @Matt_LeBlanc sees the love on Irish Twitter for him these last 24 hours. Hilarious, but so warm too.
