Have to agree about Joey. I mentioned it before. Joey was a pretty good friend to the women.
But with Chandler and Ross, he was less than great. But Ross and Chandler are geeks who don't have many friends, so they put up with his less than good qualities, because Joey is one of the few they do have.
Joey treats Chandler like crap. Any time Chandler was less than perfect, Joey would pout like a child, and need Chandler to do something embarrassing before accepting his apology.
The box was one thing.
Then there was having Chandler wear that blue lipstick, and call himself a pretty girl.
Chandler hated that ugly bracelet, and Joey throws a fit and doesn't let up until Chandler wears it, and gives him one.
Chandler mentioned how he didn't think that Vegas movie would be anything too good. Joey throws him out of the car on the bridge, then throws his clothes out on the street. Even after Chandler proved to be right, and his movie was shutdown, he still ignored all Chandler's calls while working as a Gladiator in a hotel. Then later when he talks about the hand-twin, he has the nerve to get an attitude with Chandler, stating "Are you un-supporting me again?!" When Chandler was right the last time.
Then him always bringing up how he's hotter than Chandler and Ross, or how they suck with women. Talking about how he can easily beat up both of them.
He thinks Monica is cheating on Chandler
Joey "I'll wait right here, in case the dude comes out."
Chandler "Is that necessary?"
Joey "Hey, I know you'd do the same for me. Not that you ever have to because I know how to keep my women satisfied. "
Joey "I have to figure out how to repel this woman. Hey, you guys repel women all the time. I've seen you do it. You get something going with a woman, but some how you manage to kill it."
Then one instance where Joey is rejected by a woman, and he turns to Chandler and wonders if that's what being him is like.
Arrogantly saying he'll let Chandler have the Dutch Girl.
Saying that he specifically thinks of Chandler during sex when he doesn't want to climax too soon with a woman.
Etc.
The one thing I can't hold against only Joey is him being a hypocrite because they all are, just about. When it came to their group, everything was peaches and cream. They could treat people badly, and nobody think anything of it. But if outsiders do it, it's a crime.
Look at how Joey has no problem humping and dumping women. When he gets dumped by Erin, because she didn't feel a spark, Rachel and Phoebe get an attitude with her and call her a tramp. So she's a villain for doing that to Joey, but they don't lecture him about the way he treats other women the same.
Or with Joey wanting to beat up the Noisy Guy Upstairs for sleeping with another woman, and hurting Phoebe. But again, he does the same to numerous women -even giving them fake-names so they can't track him down. Ken Adams.
With the whole Rachel vs. Emily thing, all of them treat Emily like a villain because she wants Ross to stay away from Rachel.
Then there's Phoebe -biggest one of them all with hypocrisy, who sleeps with random men all the time, goes on dates with stalkers, is into very kinky and dirty sex, and likes old men. But she doesn't want her brother with Alice. Or tries to play morality police when Ursula is doing porn. She had a right to be mad that Ursula was using her name. Perfectly legit. But when she goes to Ursula's apartment, first thing out of her mouth was disapproval about the porn movies. She doesn't bring up the name issue until a guy yells for Ursula, calling her Phoebe. She goes to say all of them should be ashamed, and that they're all disgusting. Or how she demands certain things from her friends, on grounds of her beliefs, but doesn't respect anyone else's. She insults them constantly, but can't take criticism herself.
