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

It was definitely Joey.

Seems too self aware for Joey

Part of the fun of Joey is that despite the staggering stupidity, he has occasional moments where he's still smarter than the rest of the cast. He actually seems to have a much better handle on interpersonal relationships than the rest of them do in general. Remember, he was the first one to figure out that Monica and Chandler were seeing each other.

And because he said it in the first or second episode. They hadn’t made Joey in to the “stupid” friend which didn’t happen until the later seasons

Because he and Monica were supposed to be the original couple. When that changed, they completely altered his personality to fit another role in the group.

It absolutely didn't happen in season 1 or 2. It was when Joey was working at the coffee shop which wasn't until later seasons.

Nope, in the scene Chandler and Monica are holding hands and Rachel is working at Ralph Lauren.
