Across 10 series' full of comedy gold moments, there's one catchphrase that reigns supreme in the Friends world – and it's probably not the one you were thinking of.

With a total of 19 uses over the course of Friends' TV run, smooth-mover Joey Tribbiani's "How you doin'?" is officially the most mentioned catchphrase (according to new data from vaping company Blu).

Yep. A cheeky "How you doin'?" and a wink worked (almost) every time.

Sorry Ross Geller, your beloved "We were on a break!" actually rolls in at third place, while Janice's infamous "Oh. My. God" comes in second with 12 uses throughout the show's 10 season run.

And if you're a serial Friends quoter, why not check out this list we've compiled consisting of those classic everyday quotes fans still use from the show.

Could the gang be any more influential?

But for those fans still crossing their fingers in hope of a revival, Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman gave an unfortunate update on that last month. It's not good news.

"There are several reasons," she explained of why it will never happen.

"One, the show is about a time in your life when your friends are your family. It's not that time anymore. All we'd be doing is putting those six actors back together, but the heart of the show would be gone.

"Two, I don't know what good it does us. The show is doing just fine, people love it. [A reunion] could only disappoint – 'The One Where Everyone's Disappointed'."
