Tribute to James Michael Tyler aka Gunther from FRIENDS: A look at his iconic moments from the show

James Michael Tyler aka FRIENDS’ Central Perk barista 'Gunther' died this Sunday, October 24. Tyler spoke in June 2021 that he had been diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. He was known for his 'splendid as the sun' hair and lonely one-sided love for Rachel in cult-show Friends. Here are some quotes which cracked us with laughter.

2/6

"What does Rachel see in this guy? I love Rachel. I wish she was my wife." (Season 3, Episode 7)

The episode begins with the internal dialogue of each character. At the point when Gunther goes to get an espresso for his friends, he is struck by the fact that Ross is dating Rachel. "I love Rachel. I wish she was my wife." The scene impeccably captures Gunther's feelings for Ross, which are exclusively persuaded by jealousy. In any event, when Ross attempts to be nice to Gunther, it's never enough to keep the him at bay.

3/6

"Oh, like you don't already have everything?" (Season 3, Episode 8)

Ross and Rachel embrace toward the beginning while getting their coffee orders at the counter. At the point when Ross asks Gunther for a napkin, he couldn’t resist the urge to specify his relationship with Rachel. "Oh, like you don't have everything?" Gunther asks before forcefully putting down the napkin on the counter.

4/6

"Hey, buddy, this is a family place. Put the mouse back in the house." (Season 3, Episode 13)

Exactly when Phoebe introduces her friends with her new companion, Robert, Chandler quickly notices that his athletic shorts are a little... uncovering. He quickly tells Ross, and Joey later sees the issue for himself. At the point when Phoebe discovers her lover's issue, she decides to cut it off. Robert knows nothing concerning why women keep on heading out in different directions from him, nonetheless, Phoebe doesn't have any clue how to let him know the bare truth. Enter Gunther, who expresses the infamous line: "Hello, pal, this is a family place. Set the mouse back in the house."

5/6

"I dropped a cup." (Season 3, Episode 19)

Gunther fantasises in his mind about asking a recently single, Rachel out. "Say, Rachel, I was contemplating whether you'd prefer to go out to see a film with me at some point. As my sweetheart," he thinks. "Excessively out there. Perhaps grab a bite with me at some point. As my darling." Her associate Mark then, enters and surrenders that he's had a distinct fascination with her. He asks her out, and she agrees. Gunther then, at that point, retreats to the back of the café, and a loud crash can be heard. When he comes back to the front, everyone is staring at him. "I dropped a cup," he says as an excuse.

6/6

"Jij hebt seks met ezels." (Season 8, Episode 7)

Ross chooses to become familiar with some Dutch to dazzle an older apartment owner and snag her living space when takes her last breaths. He refers to Gunther as an "ezel," which is a donkey. Further Ross replies to him "Hey, Gunther, you're an ezel." Unfortunately, Ross is unaware that Gunther is fluent in Dutch. Gunther responds "Jij hebt seks met ezels," referring to Ross's relationships with donkeys. "Damn it!" Ross exclaims.
