On August 19, let’s raise a glass to the one and only Matthew Perry, born in 1969 and taken from us on October 28, 2023. Perry didn’t just play Chandler Bing; he embodied the friend we all secretly wished for, the one who can turn any catastrophe into a punchline (as if he was born to be Chandler). His epic bromance with Matt LeBlanc’s Joey Tribbiani was pure TV gold.
From shelling out for Joey’s acting classes to enduring those unforgettable “food issues,” Chandler’s loyalty was as legendary as his sarcasm. Remember that time Joey got stuck in a wooden box? Chandler’s patience was as impressive as his ability to come up with snarky one-liners. .
Their friendship was a blend of side-splitting humour and genuine warmth, creating a bond that, despite being fictional, felt astonishingly real. Here’s to Matthew Perry, the perfect friend we needed but never had! In this iconic episode, Chandler agrees to spend hours in a wooden box as a gesture of loyalty to Joey after a minor argument. The scene is a mix of comedy and sincerity, demonstrating Chandler's willingness to go above and beyond for his friend and Joey’s playful but sincere request for proof of loyalty.
Remember when Joey and Chandler took in that chick and duck? Proper chaos. The dynamic duo became proud dads in Season 3, and let’s face it, there was no splitting them up after that. Fast forward to the final episode, Joey buys a new chick and duck, only for them to get stuck in the foosball table! .
