10 Reasons Why Chandler and Joey Aren't Real Friends | ScreenRant

Binge-watchers across the country mourned the loss of Friends when Netflix took the hit series off of their streaming service at the stroke of midnight, January 1st, 2020. Friends won't be available on another streaming service for at least another five months, and it's rumored to be a part of WarnerMedia's new streaming service, HBO Max, in May. While you wait to relive the Manhattan 20-somethings' experiences with life, love, and dating, take a good look at some of the times the best-buddy duo Chandler and Joey weren't terrific friends to each other.

10 "The One Where Chandler Can't Remember Which Sister" Season 3, Episode 11

Midway through the third season of Friends, Chandler royally screws up. The friends throw Joey a birthday party, to which they invite all seven of his sisters. Chandler gets way too drunk after gobbling up Monica's vodka jello shots, and he makes out with one of Joey's sisters.

While that's bad enough on its own, Chandler couldn't remember which sister, and he only remembered her name because Joey brought it up to him. On top of that lie, Chandler tells another one: he thinks he could really fall for Mary Angela. Ultimately, Chandler's lies are revealed in a painfully embarrassing scene that ends with a punch to the face.

9 "The One Where Rachel Is Late" Season 8, Episode 22

While Chandler shows support for Joey in so many ways throughout the series, including paying for his headshots and rent while Joey struggled to make it as an actor. However, near the end of the eighth season, Joey finally gets his big break: a real movie! Joey only has one ticket to the premiere, and, after some deliberation (read: arguing) among the friends, Joey decides to take Chandler as a way to pay him back for his support over the years. During the movie, Joey looks over to find Chandler asleep instead of paying attention. Come on, man!

8 "The One With the Cat" Season 4, Episode 2

After dealing with one too many injuries, Chandler convinces Joey to sell his gargantuan entertainment center. In the process of showing the furniture to potential buyers, Joey gets locked into the entertainment center while a burglar robs them of everything in the apartment.

Chandler is understandably upset, but he reacts way too harshly to Joey's mistake. After all, it's not like Joey meant for them to get robbed! At the end of the episode, Chandler still makes Joey get rid of the entertainment center and trades it for a canoe. At least the entertainment center was mildly useful.

7 "The One With the Chicken Pox" Season 2, Episode 23

While Chandler is usually the jerk when it comes to his friendship with Joey, Joey's no angel. In "The One With the Chicken Pox," Chandler helps Joey out by getting him a job at his office. Joey takes this as an opportunity to work on his method acting. He pretends to be a man named Joseph with a wife and children. In the end, Joey gets way too into his character and almost costs Chandler his job when Chandler was just trying to help the guy out!

6 "The One With the Prom Video" Season 2, Episode 14

While Ross and Rachel are falling in love, Chandler's a jerk to Joey again. After receiving a big paycheck for his first real acting job, Joey tries to spread the wealth by buying Chandler a piece of jewelry. Admittedly, the gold bracelet is hideous.

However, Chandler takes it too far and makes fun of the bracelet loudly. Of course, Joey overhears, and his feelings are hurt. Karma gets Chandler in the end, though. After Chandler thinks that he lost his bracelet and buys a new one to replace it, Gunther finds the lost bracelet. Then Chandler has to pretend that he wants to be "bracelet buddies" with Joey if he doesn't want to look bad again. Ha. Ha.

5 "The One With the Chick and the Duck" Season 3, Episode 21

Giving animals as gifts always seems like a good idea. Until you realize that you're actually gifting an animal lifetime of obligation to its new owner. After watching the news, Joey decides to adopt a baby chick for Chandler. Chandler is understandably upset with the new responsibility, seeing as how he's already responsible for taking care of Joey, a full-grown man who eats a ton. Chandler even takes the chick back, but, when he finds out that the chick will be killed if no one adopts her, returns home with the chick and an adult duck. It works out okay, but Joey definitely didn't think this one through.

4 "The One Where Joey Moves Out" Season 2, Episode 16

When Joey and Chandler are roommates, it's clear that Chandler enjoys living with Joey, although he often has to foot the bill for rent, food, and utilities. So, when Joey lands his dream job and a fat paycheck, Chandler is pretty upset that Joey decides to move out into his own place. Joey is clueless and doesn't pay much attention to Chandler's feelings during this whole process. Only after spending time apart and realizing how much they miss each other does Joey eventually realize the error in his ways. Sheesh.

3 "The One With Ross's New Girlfriend" Season 2, Episode 1

While Rachel battles with her newly realized feelings for Ross, Chandler needs some new pants. Joey sends Chandler to his tailor, who then inappropriately touches Chandler while measuring him for new pants.

Not only does Joey's ignorance result in this uncomfortable situation for Chandler, but he actually laughs it off when Chandler tells him about it! Ross and Chandler get Joey to think about it a bit more, and then he's shocked. Maybe his shock is why he never apologizes to Chandler for sending him to get groped.

2 "The One With Ross's Sandwich" Season 5, Episode 9

Chandler and Monica are busy covering up their affair, and, because Chandler sometimes treats Joey as a disposable oaf, they shift the attention to Joey to take the heat off of themselves. Forcing Joey to take the fall for things like Chandler's gross whitey-tighties on the couch at the girls' apartment and a video camera set up in the living room over at the boys'. No matter how you look at it, that's a pretty crappy thing to do to your best friend.

1 "The One Where Chandler Crosses the Line" Season 4, Episode 7

Chandler's worst transgression, by far, was when he kissed Joey's girlfriend, Kathy. Chandler knew he had feelings for Kathy well before they kiss in Chandler and Joey's apartment. While Joey's stuck with a broken-down car on the highway, Chandler makes out with Joey's girlfriend. Then they decide not to tell him about it! In his guilt, Chandler refurnishes the apartment (left bare after they were robbed), and Joey is ecstatic. Chandler eventually admits his wrongdoing, and Joey is livid and stops talking to him.
