Don't we all wish we had the kind of friendship that Chandler and Joey have? The Chandler and Joey saga is probably one of the greatest bromances of all time. The two bachelors were living the dream as roommates in their Greenwich Village bachelor pad in the middle of Manhattan, New York City. What more could you ask for as a young 20-something year old single guy than to be living with your best friend in one the greatest cities in the world?
The pair are the perfect counterpart to each other, a dynamic duo, partners in crime, and often times they could be found not far from one another. They lived together until season six where Chandler ultimately moves in with Monica and the friends are finally torn apart. While they still remained close friends after the fact, it wasn't quite the same anymore, but the classic scenes and memories they brought to our televisions each week are unforgettable as their personalities played off of one another to make for comedic gold and at other times really sincere moments between two friends.
While Ross and Chandler were friends since college, there was something about Joey which made he and Chandler much closer, and although the trio are great friends, Ross always seemed to be on the outside looking in.
In this quiz we will test your knowledge of the two best buds from Friends, but if you're anything like Ross you will probably fail!
