Top 5 Chandler-Joey moments on Friends

1. The "Welcome Home" hug after the Eddie situation

So, in Season 2, after putting up with all the weird stuff Eddie (Chandler's crazy roommate) was doing, Joey finally comes back to get his old room. And when it's all said and done, Chandler and Joey share a lingering hug.

That scene at the end, where they just hold onto each other, hits you right in the feels. It shows that their bond goes way deeper than just sharing a place to crash. It's about being there for each other through thick and thin, like a family you choose instead of the one you're born with.

2. Joey wishes for Chandler’s success over winning the lottery

In the 9th Season's "The One With the Lottery," everyone in the group gets all excited about the chance of winning a fortune. But Joey does something that tugs at the heartstrings during the episode.

Instead of making a wish for himself to get rich, he wishes for Chandler to get a better job. Joey puts Chandler's happiness first, no matter what. This part shows how much Joey cares for Chandler and how he's always looking out for his buddy, which is typical of their relationship.

3. The emotional goodbye with the "Joey room"

In Season 10, there's an episode titled "The One With the Princess Consuela" that tugs at the heartstrings when it comes to Joey and Chandler's friendship. As Chandler and Monica get ready to move out to the suburbs, Chandler does something very sweet for Joey.

He tells Joey he's going to have his special room in their new place, just for him.

"You don’t think we’d buy a house without a Joey room, do you?" Chandler quips.

This touching moment shows that no matter what happens or where life takes them, Chandler cherishes their connection. It's a beautiful reminder that true friends stick together, even when their daily lives start to look different.

4. Chandler covers Joey’s financial troubles with the Cups game

In the Season 2 episode called "The One With Five Steaks and an Eggplant," Chandler comes up with a sneaky yet thoughtful plan to help out Joey financially without making him feel all down on himself.

He turns it into this little game with cups where Joey thinks he's winning, but really, it's all fixed so Joey ends up with the cash.

This whole thing is a perfect example of how much Chandler cares for Joey. It shows that even though Chandler can be pretty sarcastic most of the time, deep down, he's got Joey's back and is a really good friend.

5. The "Go get Kathy" moment

In Season 4, there's a hilarious episode called "The One With Chandler in a Box." It shows the ups and downs of Chandler and Joey's friendship. Chandler makes a big mistake when he kisses Kathy, who's Joey's girlfriend at the time. To say sorry, he gets into a box! It's crazy sure, but it also shows how much they care about each other.

What's cool is that Joey eventually forgives him and even tells Chandler to go for it with Kathy. That's what friends do, right? They work out their problems and look out for each other's happiness. That's what makes their friendship so amazing.
