By Any coffee addict will understand the struggle of people talking to you in the morning before you've had your first cup – because let's face it, you're basically a different person before and after your caffeine fix.
Anyway, in the best thing that's happened (since our morning coffee), Friends' Central Perk may soon become a real-life establishment.
Yep, if your job's a joke, you're broke and your love life's DOA... then good news! According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Warner Bros Entertainment secured a copyright in January to use the name Central Perk for "coffee shop and café services".
In the trademark request, Warner Bros asked to use the exact same logo seen on the show, which featured "a shaded oval flanked by coffee cups with steam rising above them, with the banner bearing the stylised wording CENTRAL and the shaded oval bearing the stylised wording PERK with a coffee bean design on either side of the wording PERK".
The Blast also reports that Warner Bros requested to use the name of the coffee shop on "toys, board games and slot machines", but that those filings have yet to be approved.
Back in 2014, a Central Perk pop-up shop opened in New York to coincide with the show's 20th anniversary.
James Michael Tyler, who played barista Gunther throughout the show's run, made several special guest appearances, while there were also weekly performances of 'Smelly Cat'.
