When ‘Friends’ started, Matthew Perry’s colleagues joked that he didn’t act when he played Chandler. They said that his personality was so similar to that of the role that he simply earned money for being the way he was. A very similar comedic appearance and a charisma that he has achieved that his death has hurt all his fans precisely as if he were a friend. One of those colleagues capable of making you smile even in hard times. We review the funniest and most iconic moments of one of the most beloved characters on television.
Locked in an ATM
Although Chandler’s character evolved throughout the ten seasons, it was clear from the beginning that sarcasm and absurd situations were going to be a constant. In the seventh episode he gets trapped in an ATM with actress and model Jill Goodacre and struggles to interact with her. The first cameo of a celebrity. Some time later, well-known faces such as Brad Pitt, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, Reese Witherspoon and George Clooney, among others, would appear in the series.

The arrival of the armchairs
It’s hard to think about the strong friendship between Joey and Chandler and not have the afternoons and evenings they shared in their leather chairs come to mind. Joey bought them and one of their favorite pastimes was watching ‘Baywatch’ together. The armchairs provided great moments in the apartment they both shared.
Se ‘muda’ a Yemen
Some of Chandler’s funniest moments were in the company of the irritating Janice. The character played by Maggie Wheeler dated him for a while and tormented him for several seasons with occasional appearances. Both gave rise to fun situations. One of the most memorable is Chandler’s trip to Yemen in a desperate attempt to get rid of her.
The duck and the chicken
The duck and chicken that lived with Joey and Chandler for a good number of episodes became pets even more beloved than Marcel, Ross’s monkey. They gave rise to hilarious sketches.
The robbery
Joey makes a mess when he dabbles in carpentry. She builds a huge piece of furniture that horrifies Chandler. She forces him to get rid of it and the sale couldn’t go worse. Because of his naivety, the buyer ends up becoming a thief and loses all of his things. Except the furniture, that is. Just as funny as the scene itself is the ‘remodeling’ of his apartment.
Change of floors: Chandler is not a transpositor
The chicken ends up turning into an early-rising, singing rooster and Monica and Rachel risk their apartment in exchange for Joey and Chandler getting rid of the animal. Ross prepares a fun contest that will expose some of Chandler’s shame and reveal that his friends don’t know him as much as he thought. In fact, the bird stays and they have to move into the boys’ apartment.
The incident with the jellyfish
Chandler, Joey and Monica keep an unspeakable secret for several episodes. After much insistence, they finally tell their friends about the incident they experienced on the beach. She suffered a jellyfish sting and to relieve the pain she tried to urinate on the area where she had received the sting. She did not succeed and she had to ask for help from her colleagues who, despite her trauma, did not hesitate to lend her a hand.
It started in London
That of Chandler and Monica is one of the love stories most celebrated by sitcom lovers. Their relationship began, in the silliest way, in London, at Ross’s wedding to Emily. They slept together. Their romance was going to stay in that hotel room, but the scriptwriters, upon seeing the commotion and enthusiasm generated by that scene, decided that they should start dating.
Pivot!
Over time, the scene in which Rachel and Chandler help Ross carry his new sofa up the stairs has become one of the most iconic of the series. So much so that even some furniture stores have used the famous ‘pivot’ as a slogan. The actors confessed that the most difficult thing about recording the episode was not, by any means, maneuvering on the steps, but holding back laughter.
He tries to seduce Phoebe
The entire episode is hilarious, although this is one of the scenes where Chandler shines the most. His friends discover the relationship he has with Monica, but they play pretend so they end up confessing. The situation becomes so delirious that he ends up going on a date with Phoebe and they both engage in the least sexy seduction in history.
The request for a hand
It won’t be the funniest scene Chandler starred in, but it is one of the fans’ favorites. The romantic proposal for Monica’s hand is now television history. The image of both of them kneeling and excited to the point of not being able to speak was the end of a chapter in which it seemed that the relationship was going to break up.
Chandler doesn’t know how to pose for photos
Barney from ‘How I Met Your Mother’ had the gift of looking good in every photo. Well, the opposite was true for Chandler. He was unable to pose. We discovered it when he wanted to announce his engagement to Monica in the newspaper. There was no way for him to smile naturally. In the end, they had to make a ‘drastic’ decision. Next to Monica, posing as her fiancé, was a photogenic Joey.
