Friends: 10 Most Relatable Chandler Quotes | Screen Rant
It is not a secret that Chandler Bing is the king of sarcasm. His sarcastic one-liners are one of the best things to come out of the iconic sitcom Friends. However, that's not Chandler's only great quality. He can be incredibly relatable as well.
His quotes are used by most of the fans on the internet simply because they are so relatable and almost every person can relate to them. Even his best one-liners are some of the most relatable quotes ever.
Chandler Bing is the most awkward among all the six friends in the show. He is always struggling with what to say at what moment. Lots of people have social anxiety and don't know how to form words in exceedingly tense situations.
The best thing about Chandler is that he isn't afraid to admit how awkward he is and in this quote, he conveys it perfectly. It is a hilarious quote that surely many people can relate to.
In the modern world, dating has become increasingly complex. Due to this, most millennials and gen-Z have thought at least once that they are never going to find an ideal partner and end up all alone. This is why at the moment where Chandler says that he is going to die alone, so many people can see themselves in him.
Chandler didn't have much luck in his love life until he and Monica fell for each other and they had their happily ever after. This also serves as a message of hope for fans, they too can come out of their bad luck and find their soulmate. They might even be closer than they think.
There's no one who knows Chandler better than he knows himself, and the same goes for most people. Almost every person in their low-esteem moments has thought about how their future partners or spouses will be able to put up with their troubling parts.
Chandler says the quote to Monica a few months before they're about to get married. Out of context, this quote is extremely relatable. However, he says the line right after making a fatphobic joke and this quote of his proves that he knows that it is unacceptable to make such comments. This blatant fatphobia is one of the things about Chandler that have aged poorly.
Who doesn't love a delicious cheesecake? Even though Joey is the foodie of the group that doesn't mean that Chandler can't appreciate good food. Everyone appreciates a tasty meal or delicious dessert - even if it's been dropped on the floor.
This is why fans can't help but relate to this moment where Chandler can't stop eating the delicious cheesecake even though he is completely full. This moment is from a memorable episode where fans witness the amazing chemistry between Chandler and Rachel that they hardly ever get to see.
This quote is brutally honest and self-aware and that's why it is hilarious as well as relatable. Chandler's worst nightmare is an uncomfortable situation. Many people like Chandler use humor as a coping mechanism for uncomfortable situations just like this.
He doesn't know how to act or what to say when he gets stuck in one, just like most socially awkward folks, and ends up making a silly joke that no one finds funny except him. No one likes to be in uncomfortable situations, but while some people know how to keep their cool, there are many who end up making it even more unpleasant through their witless humor.
Almost every young person has, at least once in their life, felt extremely desperate to have a romantic partner. It could be due to a lot of reasons, peer pressure or societal expectations, or a vulnerable and lonely state. Whatever the reason may be, hardly anyone is immune to the desperation for romance.
In the early seasons of Friends, Chandler was probably the one among the main cast who was most desperate for love, followed by Rachel, as he conveys in this amusing quote. He lists out all his flaws in one go but these imperfections are present in most humans, which makes the line totally relatable. Viewers can't help but sympathize with the guy.
Chandler and Janice were doomed from the start. They had a rocky on-off relationship that was toxic for both of them. Even though they broke up for the last time in season 4, they kept on running into each other somehow and Chandler hated it every time. They never left things off on good terms, so it is understandable why he wouldn't want to run into his clingy ex-girlfriend.
This time when they run into each other when he and Monica are house-hunting in the final season, he makes an off-handed comment that he keeps running into her and never into Beyonce. It is a hysterically funny line but it is also something everyone can relate to. After all, most people would love to run into their favorite celebrity on a random day.
Chandler is not good at many things. Here he frankly expresses his weakness of not being great at giving advice to people but he also tells about his strength, which is sarcasm. It is one of many hilarious Chandler quotes that prove that he is the funniest character on the show. This is why his fans love to quote this.
It is also extremely relatable for people who are terrible at being wise counsel. Such people can take inspiration from Chandler who is not ashamed of that fact and would rather make his friends laugh than give them helpful life advice.
Not knowing which career path to choose is probably one of the biggest predicaments in the lives of most humans. This rings true, especially for millennials, whose generation is seeing plenty of historic events and important changes impacting the world of work. Fans of the sitcom found it refreshing that Chandler left his high-paying job in his thirties and began to figure out what he really wanted to do.
There is something highly empowering about Chandler leaving a successful career because he wasn't happy and starting fresh in a completely different career that's much more fulfilling to him. Of course, he had Monica to help him financially but that also goes to show that the show was so ahead of its times in many ways for showing a wife supporting her husband.
The first time the showrunners showcased the potential for Monica and Chandler was in episode 7 of season 2 where she becomes his personal trainer. Being Monica, she takes it incredibly seriously and puts Chandler through arduous workouts, which of course, not many people as inactive as Chandler would be a fan of.
Chandler is immensely exhausted during these workout sessions and he finally draws the line on Sundays. Every fan watching the scene can relate to it because Sundays are certainly meant for staying in bed rather than exercising.
