Ross is funnier than Gerry


Ross from Friends is far funnier than whiny Gerry. He doesn't whine nearly as much as Gerry and is funnier and dates hotter chicks. For a stand up comedian, Seinfelds is not very funny at all.

Mr. Ross's name is Donald, like the bubble boy? Was his cabin on a golf course?

They were pretty rough, but they had something.
What was it?
I think it was the trousers.

George: "What if it's Ross Bagdasarian?"

Jerry: "Then I'm recording the Ring cycle with a trio of singing cartoon chipmunks!"

George: "What if it's Dr. Doug Ross?"

Jerry: "Aw, shut up, George! Just shut up!"

Wasn't Dr Doug Ross the Gene Wilder character in Woody Allen's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex: But Were Afraid to Ask?"

Jerry banged Ross's sister.

Jerry pwned Ross.

I kind of agree with the fact Ross, as a stand-alone character, is funnier than Jerry, as a stand-alone character as well. Ross, as well as Chandler (who's however definitely more popular) is often the comic hub of some of the best "Friends" gags and plotlines; Jerry's role is mainly reacting to his co-starring personas' quirkiness. George and Elaine (I don't care much for Kramer) wouldn't work without Jerry, since writing everyone over the top means delivering a flat pace to your comedy narrative.
On a side note, Elaine, in my book, is much hotter, funnier, and sexier than Rachel, Monica and Phoebe combined (not that I dislike the Friends' ladies, just to be clear).
Besides, Jason Alexander's on-the-edge-George persona in "Friends" was a riot.
