Sky Q users just got another new trick to try on their set-top box. Those who have this latest TV system installed in their homes are probably well used to barking commands into their remote controls. Voice commands can now find content, change channels, pause live TV and even turn off the box itself. Sky is constantly adding more features to its voice commands, and now there’s something new to try this week.
To celebrate the release of the highly anticipated FRIENDS: THE REUNION, which airs tomorrow (May 27), Sky has added a number of fun ways to find and record the show with just your voice. Now of course you could just say “Friends: The Reunion” into your remote control to track down this new episode, but that would be boring.
Instead, try a number of famous phrases, all of which provide instant access to this blockbuster TV event.
Here are some things to try if you are a huge fan of friends.

When you shout one of these commands, the show everyone is talking about should start on your television. As a reminder, FRIENDS: THE REUNION was directed by Ben Winston and features a variety of special guest appearances from David Beckham, Justin Bieber, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady Gaga, Tom Selleck and Reese Witherspoon.
FRIENDS: THE REUNION will be available NOW exclusively on Sky and streaming services in the UK and Ireland. The TV special will be broadcast on request from 8 a.m. and on Thursday, May 27 at 8 p.m. on Sky One.
This isn’t the first time Sky has added some funny phrases to find shows in its service with Line of Duty fans, and the Simpsons have a ton of things to shout into their remotes, too.
To mark the tenth anniversary of the epic fantasy show Game of Thrones, Sky Q now offers over 25 fan-favorite quotes and phrases. All commands can be found here.
You can also now easily find your favorite conversations with your voice and view personalized recommendations based on your viewing history and trends by simply typing “What should I see?” Say into your Sky Q Voice Remote.
