[@barbarahamlyn922]

I don’t agree! It all depends upon your individual sense of humor. If you like silly… if you like physical… if you like sarcastic…. Subtle… I know people who think the Ross character was too childish and over- the- top ( silly)- but loved Chandler. You think Ross had the most funny moments. That’s the beauty of “friends” - if you don’t like one, you’ll like another! There’s something for everyone here-

[@madeinhisimage9277]

Ross makes the show. I love those 3 too though

The laughter brought me back to life. I was so saddened to hear of Matthew’s passing. The world will miss him and it won’t be the same without him here. However, his love will live on in the altruistic deeds he’s done for others. All that being said, I wish I had a “Monica” to come n clean my house.

@Oliver The golden trio of friends was always those characters who were the funniest and most iconic, and somehow, most important. Therefore, the golden trio is Ross, Chandler, and Phoebe. They were the funniest ones without any doubt and David, Matthew, and Lisa were def the most talented comedians and actors out of the six. Especially David and Lisa. Ross and Phoebe as characters required more acting skills than the rest because David as Ross had and invented all amazing physical reactions that became legendary besides having hilarious delivery and timing. He was also amazing in serious drama, not just comedy and you can see it in the scene of the breakup between Ross and Rachel - the most serious and dramatic scene in the history of the show. And Phoebe's strange quirks required a great level of acting too. Matthew of course had his amazing sarcasm. I love Monica, Joey, and Rachel too but the truth is, they were nowhere near the comedy genius level of David, Matt Perry, and Lisa. Ross was also kind of in the center of things since the storyline started with Ross and Monica's family, their family's apartment which Monica inherited, and the people around Ross and Monica. Chandler was Ross's best friend since high school, then Chandler brought Joey into the group, then Phoebe appeared and Rachel had a childhood connection to the Gellers too. And of course, to Ross, as his forever love, and Ross and Rachel's romantic relationship is in fact, the main relationship on the show, like it or not, cause it starts in the very first episode when they tell us their history and then continues throughout the show as on/off-again relationship. So in reality, the golden trio was Ross, Chandler, and Phoebe. I'm willing to change Phoebe for someone else if I have an argument with someone who doesn't rate Phoebe among the best 3, maybe Monica or Joey; but for me, personally, Phoebe is the funniest among girls so she stays. As for Ross and Chandler, they are untouchable since they are 100% the funniest and most iconic characters, and Ross is also the most consistent. Even Chandler lost the brilliance of his sarcasm around season 7 but Ross remains hysterically funny from s1 till the very end, from the very first episodes with his nerdiness and jealousy over Rachel when she is with Paolo or his clumsy attempts to tell Rachel he loves her to ending episodes with Emma's birth or the one when Ross is fine (plus, as I explained, Ross is in the center of things). I know many fans, especially young fans today, hate Ross often, but when we, older fans watched it first Ross was always among the funniest and fav characters, and most iconic. And I don't really care about the modern 'analysis' of the show when angry feminazis and easily offended, oversensitive liberals are constantly hating on Ross, cause if you actually watched the show, the truth is that Rachel was 1000000% more toxic than Ross, and Ross was, in fact, a sweetheart. He just made mistakes like every other character on the show, the focus was just on him more, and it all made for great comedy anyway, which is the goal of the show.

Janice's laugh is one of my favorite she's sounds like hyena 😂 🤣

For me Phoebe's Smelly Cat is on top of this list followed by Chandler's sarcasm 😊

the woman who played the stewardess on the plane when Rachael was there, is SO funny. She was on The New Adventures of Old Christine as a HS principal. She was hilarious

Chandler is my favourite character with Phoebe a close second. I really wanted those 2 to get together. But my favourite episodes are all Ross centric as the "a" story.
