What did the doctor say about the tall person who was in a rush to see him? "I just wish he was a little patient!" Anyone? No? Okay...

Well Adam Sandler may have laughed, after all, he himself encountered an unusually tall person while on a press tour of their latest movie Murder Mystery 2.

The flick is a sequel to 2019's Murder Mystery, which is focused on a married couple - played by Sandler and Aniston - who become caught up in a murder investigation on a billionaire's yacht. The sequel continues the story, with Sandler and Aniston's characters now private detectives investigating an international abduction case concerning their friend.

Following this year's movie, the 56-year-old Waterboy actor and the 54-year-old former Friends star have now worked together on three projects - 2011's Just Go With It, 2019's Murder Mystery, and this year's Murder Mystery 2.

Last month, the pair discussed how - despite their longtime friendship - there is still some awkwardness between the pair when it comes to certain things, like kissing.

In fact, Sandler seemed to imply that Aniston was slightly too enthusiastic when it came time to film their kissing scene in the Murder Mystery sequel. "For God's sake, keep your mouth closed," Sandler recalled saying to Aniston. "It was so wide! Every time, she'd come with a big, wide mouth, and I'd be like, 'Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho, whoa! What are we doing?'"

He also revealed that there were several scenes where he was injured, telling the outlet: "Jennifer kicked me in the ribs one take," adding that Mark Strong - who plays a member of the British Special Air Service (SAS) in the flick - accidentally hit him in the face during a fight scene.

Despite the awkwardness, the pair clearly have great chemistry. In fact, this was evident when they were on the red carpet for a press event recently, when they both had hilarious and shocked reactions to an interviewer's height.

In the short clip - which was posted by a user to Twitter - Aniston asks a reporter: "Why are you crouching?" At which point the Aussie reporter replies: "I'm such a big guy and I get in the way."

"What are you getting in the way of? Oh, the camera?" Aniston says, as the reporter stands up. "Oh I see," she says, as the reporter's full height is revealed.

Sandler then pipes up, screaming: "Oh my god! That's awful! That's not right!"

Aniston - who has had her hand to her mouth in shock - turns to Sandler, who then points to the sky and says: "Put your hat on and get outta here!"

As the crowd laughs, the reporter tells Aniston: "Sorry I scared you there, Jen."

Give me a friendship like these two!
