It's "The One with the World's Most Popular Search Engine."

In honor of Friends' 25th anniversary — the series first episode premiered on Sept. 22, 1994, if you can believe that — Google has hidden seven show-inspired Easter eggs across search results.

Dedicated fans will have no trouble finding these hidden gems on their own. But if you'd like a little help... we'll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour, like we've been there before, etc.)

Here's how to hunt down the 7 Friends Easter eggs currently on Google. Tip #1: Sound on.

7. The One With the Chick and the Duck

Search "Chandler Bing." Then, look to the info panel (right side of the screen) and click on Chandler's beloved recliner to get a visit from Yasmine and Dick. Be sure to click on the recliner a second time to send them back to bed.

6. The Smelly Cat Song

Search "Phoebe Buffay" (or just "Phoebe") and click on the guitar icon in the info panel for a rendition of the "Smelly Cat" song — now with visuals!

5. The Rachel

Search "Rachel Green." Click on the info panel icon of Jennifer Anniston's world-shaking '90s cut. Soon, you'll be redirected to an image search result page for [insert fanfare] "The Rachel."

4. "PIVOT!"

Search "Ross Geller." Click on the couch icon in the info panel once and you'll hear Ross shout, "Pivot!" as the entire screen rotates.

Do it again: "PIVOT!" and another rotation. Once more: "PIVOT!!" and another rotation. One last time, aaand... there will be no more pivoting. Refresh the page to get a new couch.

3. Not just clean. Monica clean.

Search "Monica Geller" (aka The Queen of Cleaning) and click on the soap bucket in her info panel. Watch as her search result gets a luxurious, refreshing, sparkling scrub down.

2. "Joey doesn't share food!

Search "Joey Tribbiani."

Try to click on that pizza in the info panel and soon you'll hear "Joey doesn't share food!" (the catchphrase repeated by Joey and your older brother for as long as you can remember.) As even more food pops up across the search results, a pair of hands will quickly snatch everything off screen. Because, y'know: Joey. Doesn't. Share. Food.

1. Friends glossary

Search "Friends glossary." Google's glossary tool will pop up with a rolodex of vocabulary from the show, including phrases like "phalange," "Fancy Guest," meat sweats," "hand twin," and — wait for it — "on a break."
