**HOLLYWOOD** – In a twist that has the internet simultaneously crying and laughing, Matthew Perry is trending again, but this time it’s not for Chandler Bing’s sarcastic one-liners or his tragic passing. No, the internet has discovered that the late ‘Friends’ star *predicted his own death in a forgotten 1999 Simpsons couch gag.*

The clip, unearthed by a user named @DankMemeOracle, shows a cartoon version of Perry as Chandler saying, “I’m telling you guys, this couch is a death trap,” before the couch literally eats him. Cue the eerie X-Files theme.

The irony? Fans are now using the clip to explain the current *Friends* reunion drama—alleging that the remaining cast has been “sitting on the couch” of legacy, waiting for a spinoff. The viral caption reads: *“Matthew Perry got the memo on the Friends reboot before anyone else. The man truly did not want a season 11.”*

The memes are writing themselves: *“Chandler Bing: ‘Could I *be* any more of a ghost who saw this coming?’”*

**Verdict:** The internet has decided that Perry’s greatest long-con was being a prophet disguised as a sarcastic sitcom star. And honestly? That’s exactly what he would have wanted.
