 The inspiration for Phoebe 's character spurting blood was Dan Aykroyd 's Bass @-@ O @-@ Matic commercial on Saturday Night Live . In the sketch , Aykroyd plays a pitchman who sells a blender specifically designed to liquefy fish . He accidentally gets his hand stuck in the funnel , which causes it to be chopped off while blood sprays everywhere . The turkey stuck on Joey 's head is a reference to Act 4 in " Merry Christmas Mr. Bean " from Mr. Bean . Ross and Chandler 's costumes in 1988 were inspired by Miami Vice , which was popular at the time . The music used in Chandler 's accident was " The Murder " from Alfred Hitchcock 's Psycho .
