The Best Main ‘Friends’ Characters Ranked

In This Article:

If you ask me what I'm watching on Netflix, 9/10 times I'll say 'Friends'. I have re-watched this show at least 5 times and it never fails to make me smile! It has gotten me through some pretty hard times and has taken away my boredom numerous times. For the most part, I have very strong opinions about the main characters, so here it goes. Feel free to disagree.

6. Ross

Sorry not sorry, but ross kinda sucks. He is just so annoying!!!! First, just because you were on a "break", doesn't give you the right to go sleep with another girl IMMEDIATELY!!!! Second, why the heck did he get married and divorced so many times? Seriously, get it together. Third, he has TERRIBLE taste in women.... besides Rachel of course. Fourth, he is SO condescending and judgmental over everyone. Fifth, the whining. never. stops. JUST SHUT IT, ROSS! Sixth, he finds anyway possible to make everything about himself, and it's obnoxious. I can pop out 30 more reasons, but I think y'all get the point.

5. Monica

Yes, her and Chandler are AMAZING, but Monica can really get on my nerves. She is just so pushy and bossy. She has to be the best at everything, no one else is given a moment to shine. Also... can we just talk about this gif real quick. Monica, honey, your hair looks DUMB. If your hair is frizzing output it in a bun or two french braids! I do, however, feel bad for the lack of attention, love, and support she receives from her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Geller, your daughter is wayyyy better than your son, please pay attention to her!

4. Rachel

It's not that I don't like Rachel, she just has her moments. I was so proud of her when she went her own way and made a life for herself in the city without the help over her parents. But.... her history with Ross really just bothers me and brings her down a few pegs. She tries way to hard with guys and when her snobby spoiled side peaks out it drives me crazy. On the positive side, she put up with a lot of garbage and she was a GREAT mom!

3. Pheobe

My dad is not a big "Pheobe Fan" and to this day I cannot figure out why. She is hilarious!!! Yes, she is a little dippy and the whole "my mom killed herself" excuse can be a bit excessive, but overall Pheobe is always there for a good laugh. I love how comfortable she is with being herself. She doesn't care what anyone else thinks of her and I really admire that. Nothing made me happier than when her and Mike fell in love. The two of them are the true OTP!!

2. Joey

First of all, his intense love for food and his Italian culture really hits home! I feel like something about Joey that is overlooked a lot is his dedication to his career. He doesn't have much success at auditions, but that doesn't discourage him from going to more auditions in the future. Not to mention, did you see how great he was to Rachel and Emma??? He totally stepped in there to help out and he even gave up Hugsy (with only a little bit of whining). Joey's downfall... he is a little too much of a player for my liking.

1. Chandler

How could one NOT love Chandler Bing?! I mean look how cute!!!! i just want to hug him. He is such a great husband to Monica, he is the BEST friend a person could ever ask for to Joey, and he is so cute with the twins at the end of season 10. The poor guy is always looked over and I feel like he is WAY under appreciated. I'm sitting here trying to think of a bad thing about Chandler and the only thing I can think of is that he prefers cats over dogs.... that's it.... otherwise he is perfect! I love you Chandler Bing, I hope I have a husband like you someday.

Well, it's time for me to go watch some more friends. I'm now contemplating doing a sequel to this article in the near future involving less important characters from 'Friends' or even doing this for different shows. Guess you will just have to wait and see :)

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
