TikTokers yell ‘lucky me’ thanks to trending 'Friends' meme: 'This is why you do the bare minimum

Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) is popping up on For You pages across TikTok, as a CapCut template of the iconic character is trending. 

The scene comes from Season 5, Episode 5 of Friends where Ross (David Schwimmer) tells Rachel that his wife, Emily (Helen Baxendale), has banned him from seeing her. Ross then said that he and Rachel could still see each other briefly before Emily moved and enforced her wishes.

Rachel sarcastically screams, “Lucky me,” which has now become a meme TikTokers are using to show their false excitement for a myriad of topics. Green is already a popular figure on TikTok, with #rachelgreen amassing over 3.6 billion views. Now, with this template, that number is sure to climb higher.

People are also bringing this attitude to work, especially when more items get thrown on their plate.
