The Original Easter Egg
How It Started
For Friends’ 25th anniversary, Google hid playful nods to each character inside Search. Typing “Chandler Bing” revealed a recliner icon in the knowledge panel. One tap and the chair leaned back while the chick and the duck waddled across the page.
What It Did
The animation brought the duo to life: the chair reclined, audio clips quacked and clucked, and the pets bounced around the viewport before toddling away. The effect nailed Chandler’s long-running gag about never abandoning his La-Z-Boy.
Its Impact
Fans grabbed screen recordings instantly. The gag showed up on timelines everywhere, reminding viewers of the chick & duck chaos that cemented Chandler and Joey’s friendship.
Why It Was Removed
Like the other Friends easter eggs, the recliner eventually disappeared from Search. All that remained were nostalgic tweets — until restorations like this one brought the birds back.
The Restored Experience
What’s New
We rebuilt the recliner motion, audio cues, and pet animation loop from scratch. The chick and duck now keep their playful bounce even on high-refresh monitors, and the recliner snaps between states exactly as fans remember.
The Easter Egg Experience
Tap the recliner icon above. Chandler leans back, the pets march on, and the familiar chirps echo through the page. Tap again to send the little duo home and return the chair to its upright (and sarcastic) position.
How to Play
- Click the button above to open the restored page.
- Tap Chandler’s recliner icon beside the knowledge panel.
- Watch the chair tip back and the chick and duck tumble in.
- Enjoy the looping audio squawks as they waddle across the viewport.
- Tap again to reset the scene and tidy up the birds.
The animation timing now scales with frame rate, the pets respect screen size, and audio playback gracefully degrades if the browser blocks autoplay. It’s Chandler-proof and mobile-ready.
Final Thoughts
Few sitcom props are as beloved as that recliner. This restored easter egg keeps the chick-and-duck cameo alive for every fan who still quotes Chandler’s dry one-liners.
