This is an iconic scene from the sitcom. It was one of the Thanksgiving episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S in which Monica was apprehensive about using her new dinner set. She wanted to preserve it for the ‘Queen Of England’. In this episode, Rachel and her sister were fighting and they broke a plate.
Chandler got infuriated and reprimanded them, which impressed Ross, and he said that if anything happened to him, Rachel, and Monica, Chandler could take care of Emma. In the end, when Chandler was bringing the diaper bag for the bag, he accidentally broke the entire dinnerware set. He said, “Who knows I’d be the first one to die.”
The One Where Chandler Was Wiser Than Monica

In one of the episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Phoebe and her cop boyfriend were flaunting that they were the IT couple. It made Monica jealous and competitive. She kept seducing Chandler to get back at Phoebe and show her that they were the IT couple and the spark was still alive between them.
In the toilet, when Monica asked Chandler to get intimate, he refused. He told her that not being on the honeymoon was the best part of him about the relationship. He added that now that he could be himself with her, he was more happy and content in the relationship. He joked that he was the wise one in the relationship and performed a goofy dance. He suddenly stopped and realised that Monica was still the wise one.

In the second season, Chandler bought himself a laptop. He was boasting about its features, and as soon as he stopped, Phoebe asked him what would he use it for. He replied, “Games and stuff.”
This is the same laptop on which Chandler types a list of the pros and cons of Rachel and Julie because Ross was confused about who he should pick as his partner.
The One Where Chandler Was Stuck In An ATM Vestibule

This scene is from the first season titled ‘The One With The Blackout’. During the blackout, Chandler got stuck in an ATM vestibule with model Gill Goodacre. He was acting all aloof. He called Monica with Gill’s phone and spoke weirdly with Joey to convey that he was there with Gill.
He was eating gum which eventually got stuck in his throat, and Gill helped him from choking. It was one of the best episodes, and Perry as Chandler was a sight to behold.

One of the most memorable scenes of Chandler was with Janice. He had an on-and-off relationship with her until he committed to Monica. This is when Phoebe was pregnant, and the guys were living in Monica and Rachel’s apartment.
One night, he hooked up with Janice and realised he could not bear to be in a relationship with her. Janice was a hilarious character, but every time, she was in the frame, it was Chandler and his reactions that were in the spotlight.

There are endless memories of Perry as Chandler. When he was on the stage, he owned the frame much like his five other friends. We saw him last in the F.R.I.E.N.D.S (If You Liked F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Here Are Other Sitcoms To Watch) reunion, where they gathered to reminisce about what fun they had while shooting the sitcom.

In one of the interviews, he talked about his drinking addiction and referred to his group of friends as penguins. He said that when he was struggling, Jennifer Anniston, Matt Le Blanc, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, and Courtney Cox were his penguins who stood by his side until he was better. He also wrote a memoir titled ‘Friends, Lovers, And The Big Terrible Thing' in which he talked about his life and addiction problem.
May his soul rest in peace.
