Top 10 Joey And Chandler Moments

One of the best early moments that united these two was when they were charged with looking after Ross’ new baby after he had to be rushed to the emergency room. If it wasn’t for these drastic circumstances, we’re pretty sure no one would have put Joey or Chandler in charge of Ben. Of course, everything goes awry when they get distracted by some attractive women and the baby is left behind on the bus. The highlight of this episode is the discussion that they have about ducks and clowns, which will be burned into our memories forever.

Even during its later seasons, “Friends” still managed to turn in comedic gold, epecially when it came to Joey and Chandler’s interactions. A notable Season 9 highlight is when Joey decides to have his eyebrows waxed for his new headshots. He can’t handle the pain and only ends up having one done. Chandler is ready to help him out because of some prior experience he has in the milieu. It’s the perfect opportunity for Chandler to give Joey a hard time, which is one of the funniest dynamics in their relationship.

From the pilot episode, Joey and Chandler have been roommates, which is one of the things that governs their close friendship. In the show’s second season, however, Joey gets a big break and decides to move into a nicer apartment with his newfound wealth. Chandler is surprised and saddened, even when Joey is acting like it’s no big deal. When it comes time for them to finally say their goodbyes, they both try to act stoic about it. After Joey walks out the door, though, he comes running back in for a big, emotional hug. Aw….

One of the events that really cemented Joey and Chandler’s relationship was their adoption of a chick and a duck in Season 3. Now that they had dependents, there’s no way they’d be parting ways again anytime soon. The chick (aka Yasmine) and duck make many appearances throughout the series before slowly fading into obscurity. In the show’s final episode, though, Joey buys a new chick and duck as a housewarming gift for Chandler and Monica. They get stuck in the foosball table, however, forcing its destruction in one of the show’s saddest moments

While the focus of this episode might be Ross and Rachel’s relationship, in one of the show’s best subplots, Joey buys Chandler a gold bracelet to thank him for everything he’s done to help further his acting career. The problem is the bracelet is completely hideous. Chandler tries to get out of wearing it and Joey overhears him mocking the gift. When he later loses the offending piece of jewelry, he replaces it but soon finds the original. Luckily, he convinces Joey that he wanted them to have matching ones. Bracelet buddies for life!

On the first New Year’s we see the six friends spent together, they make a pact to not invite dates to their party. Most of them end up breaking it as plans change and in the end everyone except Ross has a date for the big night. Things don’t go as planned and by the time the countdown starts, the gang is all together, but no one has anyone to kiss at midnight. Chandler is bemoaning his condition and begging for someone to kiss him when Joey steps up to the plate. What are friends for after all?

In Season 3, Joey builds an entertainment unit for their apartment, but mixes up the measurements, causing it to be far too large for the space. After living with it for a while, Chandler hits his breaking point when one of his suits is torn. They finally agree to sell it, although things don’t exactly go as planned. A potential buyer tells Joey he can’t believe a grown man can fit inside the unit. When Joey tries to prove him wrong, he locks him in. Once Chandler gets home, their apartment is pretty much empty, excluding the unit - with Joey still inside. The dialog that ensues is about as hilarious as you’d expect.

When Joey gets his first big role on the soap opera, “Days of Our Lives,” he decides to celebrate by getting some new additions for his and Chandler’s apartment. The two matching recliners are the perfect thing for these roommates, and Joey and Chandler spend the rest of the episode glued to their respective chairs while they have food delivered to them and avoid getting up at all costs. Sadly, the original barcaloungers are one of the casualties of the break-in, but Chandler replaces them with new ones a few episodes later.

One of the things these two friends bond over is their love of television, especially “Baywatch.” As a matter of fact, it’s revealed in a flashback episode that Nicole Eggert brought the two together when Joey became Chandler’s roommate. Chandler had been sceptical of Joey since a much more appealing roommate was available, but in the end Joey introduced him to “Baywatch” and sealed the deal. When Joey moves out, we even see the guys set a timer for when “Baywatch” is starting so that they can watch together while they talk on the phone.

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

In this fan favorite episode, Ross is trying to get the rest of the gang ready on time for a museum event. Everyone is having setbacks, including Joey and Chandler, who get into a fight about who has the rights to the comfiest chair. Things escalate as the episode progresses, with Chandler eventually stealing all of Joey’s underwear. In retaliation, Joey puts on every article of clothing Chandler owns and impersonates him while wearing it all. This moment is hilarious and shows just how immature good friends can be with one another.
