Friends might not be on Netflix anymore (*moment of silence*), but that has not affected its status as one of the quintessential sitcoms in the history of television. It was just three men and three women going through the ups and downs of their daily lives in New York City, yet viewers were constantly enthralled by the show's wit, heart, and relatable characters.
Ross, Chandler, and Joey were the three main male characters on Friends. All in all, they encapsulated a huge range of personality traits, making them that much more understandable to the audience. Although they were vastly different, they all got along, leading to some epic bromance moments. Here are some of the very best scenes of pure friendship between the men of Friends: Ross, Chandler, and Joey.
Best Nap Ever
Who doesn't love a good nap? Who doesn't love a cuddle buddy? Put those two together, and you have Ross and Joey snuggling up on the couch. At first, it was an accident, much to the horror of both of them. They just happened to fall asleep on one another.
It was apparently the best sleep they'd ever experienced, though, and they just had to do it again eventually. It took some convincing, but Ross and Joey rekindled their napping set-up. The rest of the gang catches them, but it was probably worth it for the quality of that snooze.
Wedding Officiant
(Spoiler alert!) Monica and Chandler eventually get married. Who did they choose to officiate the most important moment of their lives? That would be none other than Joey Tribbiani! Much like Sir Ian McKellen officiating Sir Patrick Stewart's wedding, it is a true sign of friendship to have your best bud stand up there during your wedding.
Although Chandler and Monica initially thought it was a bad idea, given Joey's propensity towards boneheadedness, they simply could not deny him in the end.
Chandler Claus
Real friendship means not only being good to the person you are friends with but to the people important to them as well. This is exemplified when Chandler decided to dress up like Santa Claus for Ben, Ross's son.
Much to Ross's dismay, he can't seem to find a Santa outfit to wear for young Ben on Christmas. Chandler gets word of this and borrows one himself, surprising Ben as the jolly man in red. Now that's a good friend.
Arm Wrestling
When you're trying to impress a girl, a true bro will do whatever he can to make you look good. That's what wingmen are for. Ross and Chandler are arm wrestling in front of Chandler's new girlfriend, Mona.
The two seem to be evenly-matched (though neither one of them is very strong). Ross might have come out on top, but he wasn't about to embarrass his oldest friend in front of Mona. He took a dive and let Chandler take him down as any good wingman would.
Die Hard!
Movie nights with your best friends is a tried and true tradition. Chandler, Joey, and Ross all love the movie Die Hard (who doesn't?). So, obviously, they enjoy getting together to watch it, while also letting out a primal Die Hard! chant before every viewing.
Chandler isn't quite as into it as Ross and Joey, though he at least stayed for one round. As for Ross and Joey, they are more than willing to watch the same movie again immediately. They don't really have much of a choice since Joey accidentally rented Die Hard again instead of Die Hard 2.
New Year's Kiss
Ideally, you'd like to have someone to kiss on New Year's Eve after the clock strikes midnight. Chandler never had much luck with the ladies before Monica, so he didn't always have someone to smooch on the last day of the year.
As the gang tries to coordinate who would be kissing who, Joey takes matters into his own hands, laying one on Chandler after he pleads "somebody kiss me!" Would you be willing to kiss your best friend in the mouth if he or she asked for it?
Thanksgiving At The Gellers
Joey might have joined in on the bromance later on, but Ross and Chandler go way back. All the way back to college, when they were both making some questionable fashion choices.
Chandler didn't exactly have a normal home life, so he didn't have a place to go on Thanksgiving. He was always welcome at the Gellers though, as shown by Ross inviting him to break bread with his family on that special day.
Pets
You'd think two often-single roommates who didn't always have their lives together would get a more traditional, low-maintenance pet, right? A goldfish, a cat, or perhaps a turtle?
Nope. Chandler and Joey decided to get a chicken (maybe a rooster) and a duck as pets. Those two birds really were a part of the family in that apartment. Have you ever raised a chick and a duck with your best friend? Because Joey and Chandler have.
Joey's Eyebrows
Friends don't let friends go out with uneven eyebrows. Joey goes for an eyebrow-waxing because he's getting a new acting headshot, but he can't handle the pain and leaves after only one of his brows is waxed. This leaves him with one thin, sleek brow and one bushy one. He asks Chandler for help.
Luckily, Chandler used to fix the eyebrows of his father and his father's friends when he was a kid, so he has experience in this area. He evens Joey out nicely, and with minimal pain. Joey is thrilled, looks much better, and now wants Chandler to curl his eyelashes.
Quit The Gym And Bank
Bromances don't always lead to successful ventures. Chandler feels like he is unable to end his gym membership because of the tactics of the people working there. Ross, always a good friend to Chandler, says he will accompany him to help end things.
They are unsuccessful but then formulate a plan to close the bank account attached to the monthly gym payments. Ross again says he will be by his side. This is also unsuccessful, for neither of them have any backbone. Still, it's the thought that counts, right?
