Their friendship has been the cause of plenty of laughs, as well as a lot of tears, and they have a plethora of quotes that prove they are truly BFF goals.
Fans can never forget one of the most memorable scenes where Joey wears all of Chandler's clothes as a way to take revenge on Chandler hiding Joey's underwear. The episode "The One Where No One's Ready" is one of the funniest episodes of Friends and this scene plays a big part in that.

Joey and Chandler never shy away from expressing their love for one another, especially Joey. Chandler pretends to get annoyed, but deep down he doesn't mind it at all.
One time, Chandler and Joey go to the apartment that Richard is selling and they are mistaken for a couple. Chandler denies it outright but Joey gets offended and asks him if he thinks that Joey is not good enough for him. It's such an adorable and funny scene and this playful flirting is what makes their friendship so iconic.
Joey and Chandler do not shy away from calling each other pet names, as well. Even after Chandler is married, their displays of affection don't stop. One of their cutest moments is when Chandler returns from the office and like a typical husband, he calls out "Hey, honey."

This scene proves how much of a stronger friendship Joey and Chandler have as compared to Ross. They are mostly in sync about everything and they both feel the same about Ross' situation, even though Ross and Chandler know each other longer.
The episode where Ross, Chandler, and Joey join Phoebe's cop boyfriend on duty is an extremely memorable episode that again highlighted Joey and Chandler's special friendship. A car backfires and they think it's a bullet so Joey instinctively goes to save his sandwich, but Ross gets the idea that Joey was saving him.
This doesn't sit well with Chandler. He is deeply hurt that if they ever got in danger, Joey would save Ross first instead of Chandler because he thinks they have a deeper friendship. This proves how much Chandler cares about being Joey's best friend and he can't imagine that Joey would choose any other friend over him, not even Ross.

Joey may be averse to forming deep romantic bonds with women, but when it comes to his best friend, Chandler, he has no problem going all the way. He buys them both friendship bracelets that are made of gold.

Even when Chandler has moved on in his life and is well on his way to marrying the love of his life, Monica, he can never forget his best friend, Joey. Chandler tells Monica about the future he has imagined for them. The future he describes is beautiful and includes a big house, kids, a cat, and also, Joey.
This is so thoughtful of Chandler to include his best friend in his family life. If Joey would have heard Chandler say that, he certainly would be on top of the moon with happiness.
The series finale of Friends is a hard pill to swallow for many fans because saying goodbye to friends is never easy.
