The Original Easter Egg
How It Started
Google made a set of small Google Search surprises for the 25th anniversary of Friends. When people searched for Chandler Bing, a tiny recliner appeared beside his knowledge panel, waiting like a joke only the apartment knew was coming.
What It Did
One click made the chair lean back. Then the chick and the duck popped into the page with their chirps and clucks, turning Chandler and Joey’s old apartment pets into a quick little page-wide parade.
A second click sent the pair away and let the recliner settle upright again, so the whole bit could begin from the top.
Impact and Reach
Friends fan posts kept the recliner in circulation because the chick and duck were instantly recognizable. The gag was short enough to clip, share, and replay without explanation.
Its Discontinuation
Chandler’s Easter egg had one special pause: public listings record it as temporarily removed after Matthew Perry’s death on October 28, 2023, then restored sometime in mid-November 2023. Like the wider Friends anniversary set, the official Google version later left Search; the exact final removal day is not verified, but the full anniversary set is documented as gone by August 2025.
The Restored Experience
What’s Different Here
This restored page keeps the little chain that made the original work: the recliner tilts, the birds arrive, their sounds loop while they bounce around, and a second tap returns the scene to calm.
The Easter Egg Experience
Open the page and tap Chandler’s recliner. The chair leans back, the chick and duck spring up from the bottom of the screen, and their tiny noisy visit keeps crossing the page until you tap again.
How to Try It
- Click the button above to open the restored Chandler page.
- Tap the recliner beside Chandler’s knowledge panel.
- Watch the chair tip back as the chick and duck hop into view.
- Listen for the chirps and clucks while the pair bounce across the screen.
- Tap the recliner again to send them off and return the chair upright.
The current version keeps the interaction small and repeatable, with pet paths and reset timing adjusted so the gag still reads clearly on modern desktop and mobile screens.
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.
