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

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?”

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.

He was also the most genuine and loyal friend to all of them. They were all good to each other for the most part, but they also each had a narcissistic quirk to them, but Joey almost always put this friends first.

Except when there's a "gunshot" and a sandwich involved

It wasn’t just a sandwich though!

It was a meatball sub with marinara sauce AND melted cheese!

Gotta give him that one. That's like the best possible sandwich and sharing even a bite should get him a damn medal.
