5 Chandler Jokes That Didn't Quite Land

     I watch a lot of Friends and would consider it to be one of the greatest shows of all time, and a lot of people who also enjoy it would agree that without Chandler, the show just wouldn't be as good. However, Chandler made so many jokes throughout the 10 years that the show lasted that he was bound to have a few dud's. Here is my list of the 5 that didn't quite land.


1) "Get up"

     Chandler goes to the bathroom and comes back to find Joey sitting in his chair. After a few attempts to get Joey to move, Chandler resorts to telling Joey about the song he wrote called "Get up." This joke came out of no where, was set up by Chandler himself, and really didn't have a punch line.


2) "Hey, Kicky"

     Joey and Chandler are sleeping together on the couch when Joey starts kicking his legs trying to get comfortable. Chandler looks at Joey and says "Hey, Kicky!" I don't need to explain why this isn't that funny because Chandler basically just saw what Joey was doing and put a Y at the end of it.


3) "MY SHOE"

     Joey stumbles upon keys to someones Porsche and takes Monica's suggestion to put them in the lost and found where he finds his shoe. He then decides to leave a note on the Porsche letting him know. Chandler, making fun of the thought of anyone forgetting a shoe at a coffee shop, says to Joey, "When he comes back for his keys I'll be sure to give him your shoe."
Joey replies "Great thanks." because he didn't catch on to the joke, but can you blame him? Why would Chandler give a stranger a shoe? It just makes no sense.


4) "I'm in a tree"

     Joey finds out that Chandler got drunk and fooled around with his sister and instead of getting mad, Joey loves the idea. Joey gives him a hug and says, "You and my sister sittin' in a tree." to which Chandler replies, "Yep, I'm in a tree."
     It's possible that this one is deeper than it appears. Perhaps he was making some sort of subtle joke about hanging himself, but if that's true then it deserves to be on this list for being too subtle.


5) "Westminster Crabby

     At the Westminster Abbey.
     Joey- What do you think of the Abbey, Chandler?
     Chandler- I think it's great. You know they're thinking of changing the name of this place.
     Joey- Really? To what?
     Chandler- To "put the camera away."

     This joke really has nothing to it. He set himself up for a joke that didn't make any sense, and if Joey wouldn't have come back with "Man, you are Westminster crabby." then the scene probably just should have been scrapped.

     Like I said, I love Chandler. And with all the jokes he makes, five dud's really isn't that bad. In fact, he probably has a better good/bad joke ratio than most of us. And there's always a chance that some of these jokes were great in their day, but just don't translate now a days.

Bonus:

    A few weeks after I wrote this I was reminded of one of the bad Chandler jokes that I had had written down, but forgot about until now.

     Chandler obviously wants to talk about Ross and Rachel, but can't find a window, so he attempts to create one with this train-wreck of a joke when Ross arrives with a pizza.
