Here are just 5 of our favourite iconic launderette media moments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>1994, Friends<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>1998, Fight Club&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>2013, Anchorman 2<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>1985-2016, Eastenders<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>2017, Babydriver<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">1994, Friends&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who can forget those early episodes of Friends? Ross was so desperate to spend time with Rachel he would do anything. Including spending the evening at a launderette. In \u201cThe One with the East German Laundry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-diy-detergent\/\">Detergent<\/a>\u201d, Rachel is in the midst of learning how to live on her own, away from her parents\u2019 money. This includes being able to do her own laundry. When Ross accompanies her to the launderette, he teaches Rachel to stand up for herself against a woman trying to steal her washing machine. This earns Ross a completely platonic kiss and Rachel a new life skill- doing her own laundry. It was the beginning of their beautiful, and complicated, relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Friends-.jpg?resize=578%2C324&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5044\" width=\"578\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Friends-.jpg?w=516&amp;ssl=1 516w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Friends-.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Friends-.jpg?resize=293%2C164&amp;ssl=1 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><figcaption>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hotrodhomepage\/\">Geoffrey Chandler<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">1998, Fight Club&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first rule of fight club is to not talk about fight club\u2026 but let\u2019s talk about this iconic laundry scene anyway. Whilst Marla Singer, played by Helena Bonham Carter, is talking to the elusive Narrator, we see her head into a launderette. She goes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-your-washing-machine\/\">washing machines<\/a>, takes the clothes out, and then leaves. The Narrator follows her out, commenting on how she left half of her clothes in the shop. It\u2019s then that we see her selling the stolen clothing to a thrift store. Next time you\u2019re in a launderette, best keep an eye on your machine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/blog.laundryheap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Fight-Club.jpg?fit=611%2C344&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5046\" width=\"578\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Fight-Club.jpg?w=2443&amp;ssl=1 2443w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Fight-Club.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Fight-Club.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Fight-Club.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Fight-Club.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Fight-Club.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Fight-Club.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><figcaption>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vsellis\/\">Scott Ellis<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">2013, Anchorman 2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing on from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, everyone was ecstatic to see their favourite news team reassemble for Anchorman 2. In one scene from the squeal, we see the lovable idiot Brick Tamland take a perspective girlfriend on a first date\u2026 to a vending machine\u2026 in a launderette. Their whole date takes place in the launderette, where they drink cans of Dr Pepper from the vending machine. It may seem like an odd place for a date, but it worked for Brick as SPOILER ALERT- the two get married at the end of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Anchornan-1.jpg?resize=558%2C315&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5049\" width=\"558\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Anchornan-1.jpg?w=399&amp;ssl=1 399w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Anchornan-1.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Anchornan-1.jpg?resize=291%2C164&amp;ssl=1 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><figcaption>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hotrodhomepage\/\">Geoffrey Chandler<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">1985-Present Day, Eastenders&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Launderette in Eastenders is ICONIC. It was Albert Square veteran Dot Branning\u2019s workplace until 2016 and has been the home to some of Walford\u2019s biggest bust-ups. From Ashley Cotton driving straight into the window in 2001 to countless fights and airing of dirty laundry. One of the most touching scenes was in 2016 when, after 55 years of working there, Dot Cotton resigned and left the Launderette for good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"317\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Eastenders.png?resize=562%2C317&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Eastenders.png?w=562&amp;ssl=1 562w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Eastenders.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Eastenders.png?resize=291%2C164&amp;ssl=1 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">2017- Babydriver&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When getaway driver Baby meets Debora he wants to protect her from his life of crime. However, after settling the last of the money he owes mastermind Doc, he is free to live his life crime-free. He goes to the launderette with Debora and listens to music whilst waiting for their clothes. This mundane task signifies the beginning of their ordinary life together, away from Baby\u2019s past life of crime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/blog.laundryheap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bby.jpg?fit=611%2C344&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bby.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bby.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bby.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bby.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bby.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bby.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><figcaption>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bagogames\/\">BagoGames<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If these top 5 launderette moments from film and TV are anything to go by it seems that there a lot of emotions expressed in launderettes.
