Living… in Manhattan surrounded by his friends. Profession… working in statistical analysis and data reconfiguration for a multi-national corporation. It started as a temp job that, in typical Chandler fashion, seemed to become permanent without him fully realizing it.
Despite his dislike of excercise, Chandler makes an attempt to assimilate himself in sports culture - watching Knicks games every now and then and occasionally playing basketball and racquetball with Joey and Ross. In high school, he tried and was rejected from the figure skating team. Relationship Status… hopelessly single, for the most part. Exhibit A: the screeching Janice. These commitment issues come up a lot while Chandler and Monica start dating. Fortunately, with a little communication and patience on both of their parts , Chandler and Monica make it work and end up getting married.
Which is why I think, out of all the friends, Chandler grows the most. Think about it: he goes from being the mayor of Commitment Issue City to falling in love and marrying one of his best friends. Not only does he overcome his fear of rejection, but he is also able to maintain his strong relationship with Monica through career changes and infertility issues.
I really want a kid. He shows up when he really needs to. Chandler is a realistic guy. He screws up. He makes mistakes. His humorous conversations with Phoebe ranged from why Donald Duck wears a towel when getting out of the shower , to why there isn't a superhero called "Goldman" inspired by Spider-Man.
When he and Joey are trying to pick up women, he would be referred to as 'The Funny One'. It is revealed he had the nickname "Skidmark" at summer camp. Throughout the show, Chandler claims he started using humor as a defense mechanism when his parents broke up, and tends to make jokes when he is nervous. In fact, when Phoebe dates a psychologist named Roger, he states that Chandler's behavior is textbook of someone who does.
His co-workers are so used to his sarcastic jokes that any serious comment he makes is thought to be another joke. At one point, the friends challenge him to not make fun of them for an entire week as his New Year's Resolution; this proves difficult when, among other things, Ross starts dating a woman named Elizabeth Hornswoggle.
He eventually breaks his resolution by sarcastically saying, "And, Ross, Hornswoggle? What, are you dating a character from Fraggle Rock? In Season 9, Chandler became jealous of Monica's new colleague, Jeffrey, because she claims that he is 'the funniest guy' she has ever met.
He tells Joey about the situation, and Joey agrees that Chandler has a right to be upset: "Bein' funny's your thing! However, Chandler's humor is sometimes seen as annoying throughout the show. The friend who tends to find Chandler's jokes most annoying is Rachel.
Rachel refuses to answer, until Joey says "Chandler? Ross tries to convince Rachel that if she picks Chandler, he will make jokes the whole way down the aisle. Rachel realizes that fact, and tells Ross that he is the lesser of two evils although Chandler is still involved with the wedding when he is assigned the position of Phoebe's 'father' to give her away when Joey - the original candidate - ends up performing the ceremony.
Chandler is also made fun of for his name many times in the series. When Chandler is going for a job interview which he is nervous about, he is told by Phoebe that he does not make a good first impression as he makes too many jokes.
He asks for her help in preparation for the interview, and Phoebe tests him by saying, "Instead of talking about what you don't do, let's talk about what you do do. After the interview, he explains to the boss that it "was hard to sidestep that doo doo thing" much to the boss's confusion. Chandler explains to him that "duties" are "poo" which offends the boss, thus ruining the first impression.
Chandler often finds himself in difficult situations or making statements that make him sound gay in accordance with a common stereotype of popular culture that gay men are behaviourally and emotionally 'effeminate'. His friends and colleagues describe him as having a certain "quality" that make people think he could be gay.
He also often has long "gay" hugs with Joey. At one point, he enters a room full of the friends and declared, "Well, don't we look nice all dressed up? It's stuff like that, isn't it? In the Season 4 episode "The One Where Chandler Crosses the Line", Chandler invites Kathy to sit in the canoe with him, and asks her whether she would rather sit in the bow or the stern of the boat.
Kathy replies saying she does not have a preference and asks Chandler which he prefers, to which he replies, "I like it in the stern In another episode, when Phoebe is wondering whether to propose to Mike, Chandler says, "If I were a guy The creators had Chandler reveal that he is, in fact, straight in the eighth episode of the first season, in "The One Where Nana Dies Twice", when a colleague of his offers to arrange a date with a man for him, thinking he is gay.
He tells his friends about this, but he soon realizes that they also thought he was gay when they initially met him. However, when telling a gay colleague of his that he is not gay, the colleague replies, "I know," and tells him that all gays have some kind of "radar". After Chandler plays a prank on Ross by posting on their college website that Ross had sex with dinosaurs, Ross creates a page for Chandler and puts on it that Chandler is "as gay as the day is long" with digitally edited images of Chandler and a policeman.
Many of the alumni congratulate Chandler on revealing this fact. As a retort, Chandler posts on Ross's page that he has died.
Another instance which insinuates Chandler's homosexuality is when Ross exposed Chandler's kiss with a man to Monica. Ross states "Now, Chandler isn't the type of guy who goes to bars and makes out with girls ," placing an emphasis on "girls" which causes Monica to scream, "You kissed a guy?! Much of Chandler's sexual ambiguity stems from his childhood, as do other personality traits such as smoking and resorting to humor. On Thanksgiving when Chandler was nine, his father announced that he was gay and that he intended to divorce his wife, because he would "rather sleep with the house-boy than [her].
Charles Bing later moved to Las Vegas where he opened up an all-male burlesque called 'Viva Las Gaygas', featuring such musical numbers as " It's Raining Men ", where he became a drag queen named Helena Handbasket played by Kathleen Turner.
While seeing the show in Las Vegas, Chandler tells Monica that when he was growing up, he "played the one on the far left," referring to the line of men on the stage. As a result, Chandler hates Thanksgiving and refuses to eat traditional Thanksgiving food. Chandler also highlights this as the point where he began to use humor as a defense mechanism and started smoking despite his young age. Further amusement emerges when listening to a self-help hypnosis tape designed to prevent him from smoking.
Unfortunately the tape was designed for females and Chandler comes under the suggestion of being a 'strong confident woman'. This manifests itself in Chandler applying ChapStick like a woman applying lipstick and blotting with a tissue, and emerging from the shower with a towel around his bosoms and a turban on his head.
He also tells Rachel that she is wearing a "stunning blouse". Eventually Joey overhears the tape and tampers with it, recording a message within it suggesting that Chandler should make him " Another instance of Chandler seeming gay is in an episode in the ninth season. Joey who is unable to stand the pain of eyebrow waxing asks Chandler to help fix his eyebrows having only been able to withstand the pain of one eyebrow waxing.
Chandler decides to help Joey, but only if he doesn't tell anyone that he is an expert at fixing eyebrows, having fixed his Dad's and his Dad's friends eyebrows instead of doing regular chores. When Chandler is done, Joey says that he is extremely good at fixing eyebrows.
