1.On The Office, you can see the George Foreman grill that Michael burns his foot on in Season 2 — because he likes to wake up to the smell of bacon — in the Season 4 episode "Dinner Party."
2.On Friends, for Ross's bachelor party, the balloons are actually condoms that have been inflated.

4.On The Office, Dwight tells us a very ominous Schrute wedding tradition, and he and Angela do it when they get married seasons later.
5. On Friends, Phoebe subtly tries to steal Ross's coffee and cookie at Central Perk.
Once I noticed that Phoebe is sneakily trying to steal Ross's cookie and coffee throughout this entire scene, I can't unsee it. I love the fact that it is happening completely in the background of the conversation they are having and that neither of them even mention it. Just a cute detail. S6E3 from howyoudoin
