Chandler Bing’s character on the iconic television show “Friends” often delivered the comic relief.
That was especially true when Bing, played by the late Matthew Perry, did so to the expense of himself. Many of Bing’s funniest moments came when he delivered one-liners to other characters. Perry’s comedic timing helped make some of the character’s one-liners memorable.
“Friends” had a decade-long run, airing from 1994 through 2004, and it’s still available on streaming services and through social media video clips, cementing the lines in television history and introducing them to a new audience.
