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 :)

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
