In fact, some of these characters were absolutely hated by “Friends” fans.
So, here they are, ranked from worst to best.
However, her twin sister Ursula Buffay was a different story.
Ursula was well the worst.
Unlike Phoebe, she didn’t seem to have a conscience or any level of respect for her sister.
She evenusedPhoebe’s name for her career in the adult entertainment industry.
As we said she was the absolute worst!
It turns out, Lisa Kudrow, who played both Phoebe and Ursula, also hated playing Ursula.
However, when the character was brought into the “Friends” universe, she wasn’t too pleased.
Janice is one character that was both awful and wonderful.
“I was so shaken by it …
In fact, the producers thought so, too.
Janice may have been the worst character, but we wouldn’t have had it any other way.
From thefirst momentshe appeared, she was completely self-absorbed.
Later, she evenpiercedEmma’s ears, saying, “Doesn’t it make her nose look smaller?”
and announced that she was going to be a “baby stylist.”
Amy was objectively awful.
As Applegate toldToday, the character was meant to be terrible.
Even though Amy was completely horrible, Applegate’s portrayal made her hilarious.
She even won an Emmy for her performance.
When asked where Amy would be now, Applegate said, “Highly successful and childless.”
We have to say she might be right.
Not only did Judy openly prefer Ross to Monica, she was also constantly criticizing and bullying her daughter.
In aninterview, actress Christina Pickles spoke about how similar she is to her controversial character.
So, for Pickles, being an awful mother was actually pretty fun!
“It was a detriment in some ways, the whole jot down casting thing,” he revealed.
Taylor also explained that he was happy his character was finally wrapped up at the end of the show.
“I’m grateful because they [the writers] gave Gunther closure,” he shared.
Of course, despite the typecasting, Taylor was happy to be on “Friends.”
In fact, he was only cast as an extra in the beginning.
“I was very lucky that they kept me,” he added.
The character had left Ross before the first episode after falling in love with a woman named Susan.
Still, Carol was actually a pretty cool character.
She put up with Ross’s tantrums, often canceling date nights with Susan to help him out.
As she put it, “The only thing funnier than a lesbian is one who fits stereotypes.”
This is one “Friends” character that probably should have been approached completely differently.
For one thing, Ross was often sexist.
When his sonwantedto play with a doll, he practically had an existential crisis.
Then when a brilliant male nanny applied to be the nanny for Emma, he once againfreaked out.
Ross was also a terrible boyfriend to Rachel.
Not cool, Ross.
His character was essentially created to give Phoebe a traditional, romantic happy ending.
And Mike was undeniably a sweet character.
As he explained, Mike wasn’t really meant to be a hugely interesting guy.
“I was only in it for just a blip.
I felt, ‘I’m like a prop on this show.
It’s not about Mike Hannigan.'”
For one thing, Monica was fat in high school and the writers used this as a cheap joke.
As Mindsum noted, “Monica is a prime example of OCD being portrayed as being only about cleanliness.
The sandwich-eating soap opera star was goofy and seriously lovable.
For one, Joey has a tendency to objectify women.
Additionally, Joey is famous for dating lots of women and dumping them unceremoniously after one date.
Before Chandler and Monica got together, Monica’s most significant ex was the mustachioed Richard.
Richard was her father’s best friend, so he was quite a lot older than Monica.
It turns out, Richard was actually pretty great.
He was handsome, mature, understanding, and, most importantly, a real grown-up.
Some fans even thought Richard was a better option for Monica than Chandler.
It’s true Richard and Monicahad a great love story.
Even when Monica chose Chandler in the end, Richard was passionate but ultimately respectful of her decision.
In short, he was an all-round great guy.
But, nevertheless, she was completely lovable.HelloGiggleseven thought Pheobe was the best overall character on “Friends.”
You have to love Phoebe!
Even if the character was a little over-the-top, we will never get enough of watching her!
And even with her flaws, it’s impossible not to relate to Rachel while watching “Friends.”
What we love about Rachel is that she’snotportrayed as a perfect, idealistic young woman.
He’s “the funny one” and he knows it.
He’s found a new job, too, one that he really cares about.
Chandler also learned to take life a little more seriously without giving up his funny side.
It’s no wonder he is ranked as the number one favorite “Friends” character onRanker.
