Speaking of memorable guest stars, few are as cute as Marcel the monkey. Ross' rather illegal pet, having a monkey join the cast somehow managed to work, despite the insanity of it. 

Marcel was played by two different monkeys: predominately one called Katie, but also her double, the creatively-named Monkey. When Marcel returns to the show, it's to film the movie Outbreak II: The Virus Takes Manhattan. This is a fictional film, but the one that came before it - Outbreak - does actually exist, and what's more, it starred Katie and Monkey.
