Mumbai Police share quirky tweet with FRIENDS reference, urge people to wear masks
Quirky Tweets shared by Mumbai police often feature among viral tweets. Recently, Mumbai Police shared a Tweet with a Friends reference.
The comedy sitcom Friends is one of the most binge-watched television shows. There is hardly anyone who does not pick up on a Friends reference or Friends memes. Several Friends’ catchphrases like ‘We were on a break’, ‘Smelly Cat’ are often featured in social media posts and memes. Another Friends reference that is extremely popular among the masses is 'Joey doesn’t share food’. Recently, the Mumbai Police also shared this catchphrase on their Twitter handle. Further, the tweet also carried a social message.
The tweet shared by the Mumbai Police featured the Friends actor, Matt LeBlanc in a mask. It is extremely unsafe for one to share a mask. Hence, the Mumbai Police said that sharing masks was a ‘moo-point’. ‘Moo-point’ is another Friends’ catchphrase by Matt LeBlanc’s character, Joey.
According to Joey, a ‘Moo-point’ referred to something useless. Mumbai Police also captioned the post as, “JoeyDoesntShareMasks”. The Joey Doesn’t Share Food dialogue featured at a time when the actor refused to date a girl since she took some fries from his plate. Joey also refused to share food with Rachel’s infant, Emma.
