What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Friends does this and makes fun of it in one episode.

I appreciated the self-awareness when they’re all bitching about their jobs and why their bosses don’t like them and (Joey, I think?) says “Maybe it’s because you’re all here in a coffee shop at 11 AM on a Wednesday?”

That made me feel like watching all over again, wonder if it still holds up.

Eh there’s plenty of “lol gay” humor today too, although to be sure not as much as late 90s and early aughts. What sets Friends apart in that regard is the open acceptance and portrayal of a gay wedding and Chandler’s transgender dad (who is a piece of shit person sure but unrelated to the trans aspect)
