Who is your least favourite Friend?

My DD and I are currently in the middle of a thousand piece Friends jigsaw puzzle and the topic of least favourite Friend came up. We both chose the same one Friend and we decided to see if our decision was universal! So Rachel, Ross, Chandler, Phoebe, Monica or Joey? You could also tell us your favourite Friend as well!

Ross is an abusive shit and gets worse, not better, as the show goes on.

But then they all get worse in myriad ways.

Rachel is my favourite.

whenindoubtgotothelibrary · 02/10/2022 12:11

Ross was the worst - a jealous and emotionally manipulative boyfriend.

Chandler the best.

FavouriteDogMug · 02/10/2022 12:13

I didn't like the way they made Joey so unbelievably stupid as the series went along, at the start he was maybe a little bit less intelligent than his very clever friends but more streetwise with better social skills.

Welshmumma92 · 02/10/2022 12:16

Least favourite - Monica
Favourite - Chandler

GingerPigz · 02/10/2022 12:18

Ross was the funniest and therefore my favourite.
Phoebe was annoying and therefore my least favourite

Sux2buthen · 02/10/2022 12:25

Joey. There's not much to him

Sux2buthen · 02/10/2022 12:26

Or possibly Rachel

siriusblackcat · 02/10/2022 12:56

Monica the least favourite, find her very annoying.

DoingJustFine · 02/10/2022 13:00

Phoebe was my least favourite, by a LONG way.

I stopped watching it around the 3rd series. I loved it till then but Ross started really getting on my tits, marrying everyone. I disliked him but still hated Phoebe more.

ZenNudist · 02/10/2022 13:03

Least favourite joey overall but late era phoebe was awful.

Ross a favourite but chandler a close second. Ooh I can't decide.

I'm the bitterest man in the living room
Vs
I'm an EIGHT!!!!?!!

maranella · 02/10/2022 13:31

Monica - super annoying!

threegoodthings · 02/10/2022 13:40

Least favourite Phoebe, closely followed by Joey.

Favourite Chandler.

Forfukzsake · 02/10/2022 13:44

Phoebe for sure. What a shit character in a show of great characters.

Forfukzsake · 02/10/2022 13:45

Forgot to put my favourite
Rachel.

Hawkins001 · 02/10/2022 13:54

I'm not sure, at a guess prob Joey

feckoffbrian · 02/10/2022 13:56

Phoebe is my least favourite.

Favourite is Ross. Comedy genius.

maranella · 02/10/2022 13:59

No, you're right, Phoebe is worse. Monica is, at least, a good friend to people at times. Phoebe never is.

ludocris · 02/10/2022 14:00

Phoebe. She was always doing annoying things or insulting the others. Like when she threw the lottery tickets off the balcony.

Wheredoallthepensgo · 02/10/2022 14:03

Ross was my least favourite - whiny, manipulative, was definitely punching above his weight with Rachel. (And too much hair gel Grin).
That said, the character was very well played by David S and more believable than some. I agree that CC only knew one way to act.

I liked Phoebe! She knew herself and what she wanted in life and made a life that worked for her with a lot less angst than the rest of them. She was smart.

washingbasketqueen · 02/10/2022 14:03

Phoebe is my least favourite. Can't decide on my most.

wilddreams · 02/10/2022 14:17

My least favourite is phoebe too. She came across as manipulative and played dumb when it suited her. Also can't stand the amount of times she said 'hey' as a greeting.

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 02/10/2022 14:22

Least favourite is Ross. First time round (showing my age here) I loved the character and was always wanting him and Rachel to get back together!!

A few weeks ago I introduced my 13 year old "friends virgin" DD to it. Started at S1E1 and now up to S6! But Oh my days how did I not notice how manipulative and aggressive he is! Ross is NOT A NICE PERSON!

Joey is my favourite, everyone needs a Joey.

VerbenaGirl · 02/10/2022 14:25

Chandler is my favourite, Ross my least.

EsmeeMerlin · 02/10/2022 14:27

Chandler is my favourite. Joey is my least favourite, he wasn't stupid in the first couple of seasons but they made him so stupid it's a wonder he managed to do anything by season 10.

Arnaquer · 02/10/2022 14:35

Favourite Chandler. Least favourite Ross.
