"So no one told you life was going to be the this way?" Well, no one told us that our lives would never be the same after Friends came out! The iconic comedy series has made such an impact on so many, to this day. Even if you were like me and weren't an adult yet when the show initially aired, it's stayed alive and is still being discovered by audiences thanks to its reputation and numerous reruns all over TV. No matter when you watched the series, do you think you're an expert and remember it all from the 10 seasons? Test your knowledge with our Friends quiz!
There's some wonderful ensemble casts from sitcoms like Modern Family, Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Office, and so many more. Though I feel like the Friends cast was just the exact perfect recipe for success. Jennifer Aniston as Rachel; Courtney Cox as Monica, the late Matthew Perry as Chandler; David Schwimmer as Ross; Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe; and Matt LeBlanc as Joey each brought their own unique talent to the characters. I really can't imagine anyone else in any of these roles! This is one of the reasons why Friends was, and still is, such a fan-favorite.
It's still so hard to believe that Perry is gone. Each of the characters had certain traits that were comedic, but it was Chandler's one-liners and sarcasm that really always made me laugh the most. And a lot of that is due to Perry's comedic genius as the writers would allow him to come up with a lot of the jokes, as well as keep some of his improvisations. And really when you think back on perhaps who the funniest Friends character is, it's definitely Chandler. Would you agree?
All 10 seasons of Friends are currently streaming on Max.
