00:00Opposite is opposite.
00:05He's got nothing!
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:08And today, the men from Friends are facing off as we narrow down which one is the best overall character.
00:14We'll be comparing their personalities, seeing how they interact with other friends,
00:18and looking at their progression through the show to determine which one reigns supreme.
00:22We'll be doling out points to each character for the round,
00:25with five points going to the winner, three points going to the runner-up, and one point going to last place.
00:31I'm done taking money from you.
00:32All right, I can take care of myself. Now what's next?
00:34Okay, here's the electric fill.
00:37This is how much we pay for electric?
00:39Well, yeah.
00:44Round 1. Humor.
00:46All three of these characters have had some seriously funny moments, many leaving us literally in tears.
00:52But which of them made us laugh the hardest?
00:54Joey's humor is derived from his dim-wittedness and his attempts to get girls.
00:58I'll give you a tip.
01:04Miss Monroe.
01:06Oh, there you go.
01:07While these moments are funny, they aren't as timeless as some of the other bits on the show.
01:12Ross, on the other hand, has had some one-liners that have lived on in infamy.
01:15My sandwich!
01:18My sandwich!
01:20His self-deprecating and hysterical demeanor is undoubtedly hilarious.
01:25Of course, he certainly made his fair share of cringeworthy jokes.
01:28And some of his funnier moments are a bit awkward in retrospect.
01:32Could the funniest male character on the show be anyone other than the one and only Chandler Bong?
01:37Ugh, sorry. Chandler Bing.
01:38I'm afraid the TV guide comes to Chandler Bong.
01:46I knew that!
01:47Rachel, use your head!
01:51Actually, it's Miss Chandler Bong.
01:53Chandler embraces his quirks and shortcomings, makes fun of his friends, and is the most clever of the bunch.
02:02Who could forget him fighting with Joey over the chair, taking bubble baths, or getting handcuffed to the filing cabinet in Rachel's boss' office?
02:09His physical comedy is matched only by his charm and quick wit.
02:13We still love quoting him today, over three decades after the show premiered.
02:17I see you got your mustache back.
02:19Well, my nose got lonely.
02:21And you don't have a mustache, which is good.
02:26I'm Chandler, I make jokes when I'm uncomfortable.
02:29Chandler, five points.
02:30Ross, three points.
02:32Joey, one point.
02:34Round two, friends.
02:36We know it's the name of the show, but let's be honest, some of the friends are better friends than others.
02:41Ross has a complicated dynamic with everyone in the group,
02:44as he's either romantically involved, related, or has a history with all of them.
02:49Between kissing Charlie when she was dating Joey, and annoying Joey and Chandler by moving in with them,
02:55he's a bit self-involved when it comes to his friends.
02:58Tell me if something's bothering you, okay?
03:00And for my part, I'll really do everything I can to keep my annoying habits, you know, just...
03:06Chandler proved to be a good friend, as we saw with his close bond with Joey.
03:12However, he's not tight with Rachel or Phoebe in a meaningful way,
03:16so we don't think he's the best when it comes to friendships on this show.
03:19I just need to know how you feel about this stuff.
03:25Okay.
03:29Joey and Chandler's friendship is enviable.
03:32Even though Chandler was the more giving of the two,
03:35Joey had his moments of kindness and selflessness.
03:37He was considerate of Ross when he and Rachel got together.
03:40He helped Phoebe have the perfect kiss,
03:42and he aided Monica and Chandler in hiding their relationship from the rest of the group.
03:47Please, just promise you won't tell.
03:52All right.
03:54We love his dynamic with Rachel, too.
03:56Even though they weren't meant for each other romantically,
03:58they brought out the best in each other as friends.
04:01If you had to, who would you punch?
04:03He's truly there for all of his pals and was close with every single one of them in a unique and sincere way.
04:17So we have to honor him as the ultimate friend.
04:20Joey, 5 points.
04:22Chandler, 3 points.
04:23Ross, 1 point.
04:25Round 3.
04:27Relationships.
04:28As much as the show is about friends, it's just as much about romantic relationships.
04:33This series expertly intertwines the two.
04:35Ross and Rachel's will-they-or-wont-they arc takes over Ross' love life for the majority of friends,
04:40and he deals with it poorly.
04:42Ross, you've got to tell her how you feel.
04:45No way.
04:46You can't just give up.
04:47Is that what a dinosaur would do?
04:49In fact, he handles all of his relationships poorly.
04:52He cheats on Julie, neglects Mona,
04:54and says Rachel's name at the altar with Emily before almost going on their honeymoon with her.
04:59I, Ross.
05:00I, Ross.
05:02Take thee, Emily.
05:04Take thee, Rachel.
05:08Naturally, we have to mention the three divorces.
05:10We'd give him negative points for this round if we could.
05:13I can't believe this is happening.
05:15Joey might not be the monogamous type, but he treats the women he dates well.
05:18Seeing him fall for Rachel near the end of the show is endearing,
05:22and leaves us hopeful that he'll settle down and fall in love for real one day.
05:25Hey, so this roommate of yours, is he good-looking?
05:29Mm-hmm.
05:30Oh, yeah.
05:31It must be tough to keep your hands off him, huh?
05:33Ha ha.
05:34Chandler struggles with his romantic endeavors in the early days, especially with Janice,
05:38but we know when he falls, he falls hard.
05:41He and Kathy's relationship is fun to watch as we get to see him grow up into a mature boyfriend type
05:46before he settles down with Monica.
05:48Their marriage is as perfect as one can be.
05:50Monica, I thought this was going to be the most difficult thing I ever had to do.
05:56But when I saw you walking down that aisle, I realized how simple it was.
06:00We're so happy he overcame his fear of commitment to start a life with her.
06:04Chandler, five points.
06:05Joey, three points.
06:07Ross, zero points.
06:09Round four.
06:10Iconic moments.
06:12Even though this show has been off the air since the early aughts, there are so many
06:15moments that fans of the show will never forget.
06:18Whether it be one-liners, plot twists, or funny scenes, each of the characters has brought
06:23a lot to the table in terms of memorable moments.
06:26Joey's, how you doing?
06:27Or Joey doesn't share food are still quoted today.
06:30When it comes to food, I have certain rules.
06:33Chandler's relationship with Monica in London and proposal to her are emblematic of the
06:45show.
06:45Yet, when we think of the most comedic and iconic scenes or moments, it's Dr. Ross Geller
06:51who springs to mind.
06:59Okay.
07:00Ross's most well-known moments are an even mixture of humorous, tragic, and emotional.
07:05He and Rachel have shared so many plot points together.
07:08Like, we were on a break and I got off the plane.
07:12Saying the wrong name at the altar and claiming that he's fine while sucking back margaritas
07:16are a few more that come to mind.
07:18The V is for this very surprising turn of events.
07:26Which I am still fine with, by the way.
07:29But really, it's his funny times that we remember fondly.
07:32Remember when he couldn't get his leather pants back on and he created a paste in an
07:36attempt to get them to fit again?
07:38And who could forget the pivot scene?
07:40Here we go, pivot!
07:43Pivot!
07:46Pivot!
07:47Ross, 5 points.
07:49Joey, 3 points.
07:50Chandler, 1 point.

08:07Round 5, character growth.
08:10All of the characters on the show evolve throughout the 10 seasons.
08:13The women settle into their lives as mothers, career women, or wives.
08:17The men similarly find themselves as true adults by the show's end.
08:21We see Ross go from a heartbroken, newly divorced man who's pining over Rachel to a three-time
08:26divorced man who's pining over Rachel.
08:28Do not get on this plane.
08:31Miss, are you boarding the plane?
08:32Hey, hey.
08:35I know you love me.
08:38I know you do.
08:39He grows in his career as he becomes a professor.
08:42But besides that, there isn't much progress for him.
08:45Joey kicks off the show as a ladies' man who can barely make ends meet.
08:48By the final episode, he finds success as Dr. Drake Ramore.
08:51But he's just as dim as he was in the pilot.
08:54Even more, actually.
09:00What are you guys doing?
09:02Try it.
09:02I can't feel a thing.
09:04Chandler goes through the most change among the gentlemen of Friends.
09:07He always stays true to himself, with his sarcastic, self-deprecating humor.
09:12What if it just gets worse and worse and worse,
09:14to the point where we can't even be in the same room with each other?
09:18I'm not great at the advice.
09:19Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
09:23However, he goes from a lonely, lost guy who doesn't know how to hold down a relationship
09:27and begrudgingly holds down a job he hates,
09:29to the total opposite of all of that.
09:32By the series finale, he's a committed husband to Monica
09:34and a loving father to twins Jack and Erica.
09:37He also becomes a copywriter,
09:39where he finally works in a career that suits his personality, lifestyle, and values.
09:44Chandler, you were the strongest person in the program.
09:46We're offering you the position of junior copywriter.
09:52Me? That guy who just said butt cracks?
09:54We love watching his character arc.
09:56His upward change throughout the show is inarguably superior to that of Joey and Ross.
10:01Hey, it's me. I'm coming in.
10:02I've had a very long, hard day.
10:12Chandler, 5 points.
10:14Joey, 3 points.
10:15Ross, 1 point.
10:17Chandler takes the win with 19 points,
10:19Joey's a close second with 15 points,
10:21and trailing in third place with 10 points is Ross.
10:25Which of these sitcom gents is your favorite?
10:27Let us know in the comments.
10:28Look at me. I'm Chandler.
10:31Could I be wearing any more clothes?
10:32Who knows?
10:33Tomorrow.
10:34How we live off a cruise?
10:39It's done.
10:42I'm so pratodig.
10:48How we live on a cruise one!
10:49If you live on a cruise one가 organizational介護 carta說 to the guitarist everyone
