(FOUR) JOEY
I feel bad for Joey. He got his own spin off show and it flopped hard. He seems like the nicest of the bunch. He gets the four spot simply because of the process of elimination. I could have went with Monica or Ross, but I dare say the Gellers were the worst brother and sister of all time. I like both actors a lot, but those characters were like nails on the chalk board. Joey wanted to be an actor, but Ross had a monkey. Any character that has a monkey gets to be in a category of its own. As much as I like little monkeys, I’ll never ever drop “How you doin’?” from my repertoire.
(THREE) RACHEL
Let’s face the facts, the characters on Friends are all pretty douchey. If you say you’d hang out with any of them on a platonic level you’re a big fat liar. I stress platonic because what guy wouldn’t hang out with Jennifer Aniston? Besides John Mayer, Vince Vaughn, Brad Pitt, and uh.. yeah. Rachel was a bit more down to Earth. By “down to Earth”, I mean she worked as a waitress in that high end coffee shop for a few seasons. Oh Rachel...
(TWO) PHOEBE
Who wouldn’t want to hang out with a masseuse slash musician? She can give a rub down and then rock out with a rendition of “Smelly Cat”. She was easily the “weirdest” of the characters and she probably did a lot of drugs in her younger days. That’s cool. And the fact that in the last season she married Paul Rudd’s character. If she’s good enough for Paul Rudd, she’s good enough for me.
(ONE) CHANDLER
By far the coolest of the Friend bunch is Matthew Perry. That fact aside, Chandler was the coolest of the bunch. He was the smart ass of the crew. He had a boring job and ended up stuck with Monica, but he kept his wit. Ten seasons of hanging out with all of those people and still maintaining a sense of humor makes him the best “friend”.
