As I said, they're all hilarious. So even at 6, he's still hilarious. I just find the other 5 even more hilarious. For me, Perry tried a little too hard to be funny all the time. That's why he's 6 for me.

I agree with that point. The writers gave Chandler all the sarcastic one-liners but there are alot of gems in there, which is why I have him at no 2.

Ross is unintentionally funny. It's his countenance and tone/pitch when he delivers certain lines.

Chandler
Monica
Phoebe
Joey
Rachel

I genuinely can't believe you have Chandler last and Pheobe (of all people!) first. Is this Lisa Kudrow?

reply

The people that have Phoebe as number one are most likely females.

reply

Very few people that I've met find her funny but -to your point - the majority of those who do are girls. Even then, most female friends fans that I know don't find her funny.

I'm not sure what it is about her. Maybe it's the fact that the character seems like a walking burlesque performance. She's a little over the top. It's as if the writers are trying TOO hard to position her as the funny one, and it backfires.

reply

Maybe you're young. I watched the series as it aired, and back then she was considered the funniest. Lisa K won an emmy early on for Phoebe. None of the other cast members did until Aniston won towards the end of the run.

reply

I watched it live too. Not sure why on earth you seem to think you know my age.
The vast majority of the people that i know who watched it found her unfunny.

It's a matter of opinion. To dismiss some who disagrees with you as "too young" when he is - in all probability. - older than you are and has forgotten more about the shoe than you've ever learned, is silly.

Hmmmmmmmm....

Chandler is funniest to me for sure.

Ross is certainly the least funny.

In between? hmm

Chandler
Joey
Monica
Phoebe
Rachel
Ross

I reckon that's it.

Monica (before Mondler)
Joey
Ross

Monica (after Mondler)

Ross could be funny but he was also often irritating and cringworthy.
I didn't’ find Phoebe’s quirks funny or endearing, for the most part.
