How funny are you on a scale of Gunther to Chandler? Perhaps he is not that great with advice, but Chandler can always provide you with some sarcasm... or maybe a cheesecake. Mathew Perry took the character of Chandler Bing and ran with it. He is, till date, the face of sarcasm thanks to his run on the show. Fans believe that no character in the entirety of the sitcom genre is as cleverly and wittily written as him. It is half luck and half skill. Reportedly, the undisputed king of sarcasm improvised most of his lines in season 3 and season 4 of this sitcom. On the occasion of Friends' 25th anniversary, we bring you the top ten sarcastic remarks by the King of Sarcasm. Here's a list of 10 times when Chandler's sarcasm was on-point.
