Today marks the second anniversary of his death, and fans around the world are remembering the joy he brought to millions. While Perry worked in many projects during his career, it is his role on Friends that made him a household name. Alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and Lisa Kudrow, he helped create a show that has stood the test of time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"921\">Chandler Bing was only 24 when Matthew Perry stepped into the role, and over ten seasons, he gave audiences countless unforgettable moments. His humor, awkwardness, and charm captured the hearts of fans everywhere. Lines like \u201cI\u2019m hopeless and awkward and desperate for love\u201d or \u201cHi, I\u2019m Chandler. I make jokes when I\u2019m uncomfortable\u201d are forever etched in pop culture.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"923\" data-end=\"1209\">Some of his most iconic moments include his ongoing saga with Janice, played by Maggie Wheeler. Every appearance of Janice brought laughter, but one particularly funny instance was when Chandler tried to escape her by moving\u2014so much so that he had to buy tickets to Yemen to get away.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1492\">Chandler\u2019s secret romance with Monica was another fan favorite. Watching him awkwardly kiss her and then, by habit, kiss Rachel and Phoebe too, kept viewers laughing. Eventually, their relationship was revealed, leading to some of the sweetest and funniest moments in the series.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1666\">And who could forget Chandler\u2019s awkward dance moves? The way he smiled, posed, and fumbled through social situations made the character even more relatable and endearing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1936\">Finally, Chandler and Monica\u2019s marriage proposal remains iconic. Despite interruptions from Monica\u2019s ex, Richard, the emotional and heartfelt moment between the couple was unforgettable. Fans continue to cherish this scene for the love and vulnerability it captured.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1938\" data-end=\"2188\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Though Matthew Perry is no longer with us, his legacy as Chandler Bing will live on forever.
