Favorite and least favorite of the main six characters and why?


Favorite - Phoebe because she's so hilarious, and I love her character's look.
Least favorite - Chandler. I think he's okay, but nothing special. His jokes don't makes me laugh as enough.

There's something wrong with Esther.

Favourite: Chandler - Because I think he's hilarious
Least Favourite: Phoebe - Because I think she's incredibly selfish and condescending with no redeeming qualities, and I don't find her funny at all.

Lol, totally contrary! 

Favorite would be Chandler, tied with Monica.

Least is Phoebe. After season 4, she became a huge bitch, who casually insulted all of her friends. And it;s made worse when the gang act afraid of her. And she's tied with Joey. No kind of character depth whatsoever, and treats women like trash, but somehow his sisters and 3 friends are the exception.

Joey was a good person...the women he slept with chose to give it up on their first dates with him so they couldn't have expected much from him! If Joey had been a female nobody would care....Double standard

My favourite is Phoebe by a mile. With the exception of Ross, she was the only character that made me consistently laugh out loud. The others were a little too 'vanilla' for the most part, although if course very entertaining.
My least favourite was Joey. Absolutely no depth to his character and being a chunky womaniser that is dumb as a rock can only take you so far. His character bored me.

Favorite- Chandler. He's the funniest, and this is a sitcom after all. He's also generally selfless, with the exception of a couple not so good moments which everybody has.

Least favorite- Monica, especially in the later seasons. She was rude and a control freak. She also stifled Chandler's humor.

Favourite: Chandler: Good man who is funny and caring and matured into a responsible family man.
Also Ross as he's an intelligent man who has such a passion for his work and science in general.

Least favourite: I'm torn between Rachel and Joey. Rachel as I find her spoiled and shallow and selfish a lot of the time. She's the sort of person I'd avoid at all costs.
I just don't think she ever really changed. Joey for the same sort of reasons, he had his good moments but was just shallow and a womaniser and never seemed to mature.







Love and Peace <3

Agree with Russian. Chandler by far the best because of personality, humor, facial expressions, etc.

I also agree that Rachel is my least favorite. She had her funny moments but compared to the others, least likable. She was too high strung and totally dramatic like the whole world revolved around her and her relationships it seemed.

Favorite: Joey. He had such a great heart and would do absolutely anything for any of his friends. He was dumb and ridiculous at times, but there were other times when you did see that there was some depth to him.


Least Favorite: Phoebe. She seemed to be the opposite of Joey, aside from being dumb. I never saw any depth to her and it so often seemed like she would only do something nice for one of her friends if it somehow benefited her.



If I were to rank them all:
Joey
Ross/Rachel/Chandler
Monica




Phoebe

Favorite - Phoebe / I love her, to me she's the best character ever created.

Least Favorite - Ross / I can't stand him, he is unfunny, stupid and I don't know... I really dislike him.

reply

Stupid? He's smarter than all the other friends, except maybe Chandler.
