Trust in Mumbai Police giving good advise with a hilarious post, and they will never fail you. In a witty advisory post, Mumbai Police used a creative meme from the NBC sitcom Friends asking people not to go forget wearing their protective face coverings amid the coronavirus pandemic. Shared on Police’s official Instagram handle, the meme featured a still from the series Friends depicting the character Chandler Bing donning his mask with the text written in bold, “I am Chandler, I wear a mask when I’m going out”. The creative was captioned as, “The kind of ‘Friends’ for keeps!” 

While masks reduce the risk of transmission of the COVID-19 disease that has recently been proposed by the scientists to be airborne, the Police indicated the importance of masks with a blend of a sense of humour and a serious advisory to stem the infection. Internet users appreciated the Police’s recommendation saying that they have been doing “a wonderful job” in the frontline, battling the crisis. Meanwhile, several others lauded the department’s wit and the memes they share from time to time amid the challenging situation and the hardships to keep people entertained.  

“Mumbai police, Love from Chennai,” a user on Instagram wrote in the comments thread. “Meanwhile Janice "OMG EHEHEHE",” wrote another. “Love this,” said the third. Mumbai Police is known for its innovative ways to spread awareness and they manage to win the hearts of netizens by urging people to take precautions from time to time. Earlier, in one such post, with a subtle dose of humour, the police department urged people to only step out for essentials as they shared an image of Chrome Dino game, the T-rex game.
