Friends was one of the most popular television shows during the 90s and into the early 2000s, ruling the sit-com world for 10 years. The shows success stemmed from the hilarious cast dynamic. Together they were like a well bonded close-knit family, but even on their own, each character had a unique and special relationship to one another, and in the end all came together as one big Central Perk gang. One of the best duos on the show was the ‘bromance’ between Joey and Chandler. These two characters were inseparable throughout all 10 seasons and their comical brotherly love kept audiences roaring with laughter. It was hard to narrow down, but here are some of the best moments between Chandler and Joey.

Ahhhhh. They end up spending the rest of the episode glued to the chairs in a television daze. Joey and Chandler spend so much time together in the following episodes, sitting side by side in their matching barcaloungers that Joey even goes on to name his Rosita…until Rachel ends up breaking his chair in season seven.
