OK, I’m gonna try to make this very short, but I don’t think it’s all that weird that towards the end Chandler is put off by Janice. You have to take him into consideration something you mentioned earlier or kind of alluded to. He is very insecure. He’s not sure of himself, I think the final time that Janice basically says I’m going to pick my husband and the father of my child over you even though he’s the one who suggested it I think deep down he really wanted her to pick him and when she didn’t pick him and he built this Reason to hate her and despise her even though deep down, he still had deep feelings for her. If you look at it from that lens, it makes perfect sense. Why all of a sudden that final when she does the husband and goes back to the father of her child and he feels like he was turned down, that he then builds up this wall and refuses to let her in and now despises her, especially taken into consideration that every other time they broke up, it was him who broke up with her. There’s more that I could speak on, but I already feel like I went way past being a short response lol

I love Janice and I can't stand Monica since she got together with Chandler. Monica became unbearable.

Something interesting about Monica being the most similar to Janice is that Maggie Wheeler, Janice's actress, had originally auditioned for Monica

Monica and Chandler never sat right with me. It always felt to me like she married him out of desperation brought on by her emotionally abusive parents. She doesn’t seem to respect him or even like his personality very much.

I went down the Fran/Janice rabbit hole a while back, and from what I could find there's no relation. The Friends creators said that wasn't their intent. But they could have just been trying to cover their tracks for legal reasons, so make of that what you will.

No, this relationship was funny af. We all have that one person we bang in life that we are embarrassed by and do our best to keep hidden but damnit they just won't play their damn position.😅😂😅
The episode where he tells her he's going to Yemen and tells her his address over there is 123 Yemen Road, Yemen, lives in my head rent free.
Chandler was immature, yes , and Janice was, you know, Janice.

I never really liked Monica with chandler all that much, I think it seems more like they each need someone who complements themselves better rather that makes them a different kind of weird. I really liked her with Richard Burke, Tom Sellek was super attractive back then and his understanding, helpful and charismatic personality really worked well with Monika’s ocd crazy easy and youth. I think that Richard should have gone through some situation that made him consider having kids with her, either something about being a grandfather making him suddenly want kids or maybe he would have to have one of his kids and their spouse die (you I don’t think ever meet them) and he would be pushed into taking care of his grandchild more as a main parent or maybe he seeing her friends have kids or he meets a man his age and sees how he takes care of his kids and reacts arround his kids to make it sound more appealing or maybe have he and monks try to have kids and when she can’t cuz of her sperm eating eggs that maybe he’d be cooler with adopting a tween or teenager or something. Something along those lines since they were perfect for each other in every other way and he got along with her friend group good without having to be like a new member of the group. I got one don’t necessarily need for every person in the group to be coupled up with another person in the group long term if that’s what the show was trying to do. I mean I like that with Ross and racheal but not necessarily for anyone else and I think it could be cool to see the difference in a couple bothe members being in the friend group and in the other couple one maybe not being in the friend group but being able to coexist nicely with the group as well. Well that’s just my opinion.

I don’t think it’s Chandlers baby cuz he and Monica tried to get pregenant for a long time and the doctor told them that Chandler has a low sperm count and Monica’s eggs have a condition that will kill all the sperm chandler has. So even with someone with normal eggs I don’t think it’s his.

I always fucked w/ Janet… she was a lil too thin for my taste, but she put the effort in to stay hot, she love bombed the hell out of CB, and never shown ulterior motives… all good in my book.

The Take did an amazing video about 5 years ago called "Is Janice Chandler's soulmate?" I think it came at a perfect time for me. I had the same values I still have but I could easily been influenced by certain manosphere figures that could have recontextualised. Janice is a great person, her being annoying doesn't devalue her as a person.
@queenloiskosher6119

Omg I love your take on this! I always thought it was unrealistic and unfair how Janice was portrayed. PLEASE do a video on Emily and Ross (I don’t think they belong together but her hate is so unwarranted). Also a video on Rachel and Joey (i think those two could’ve been good for each other if they let Joey mature. They liked each other and shared similar interests).

Obviously while the fake move to Yemen is unforgivable, my guess is that he kind of “detoxed” after she left him to go back to her husband. He knew he couldn’t make it through another on/off stint and had to make sure he was over her for good.
@TheRetroGuy2000
September 27, 2024 at 4:27 pm
I enjoyed the video on Janice, but felt like the 2.5-long minute ad in the middle of the video was a bit much. If you made your ads shorter, people might watch them all the way through, instead of skipping.
Anyway, Janice was a bit of a tragic character, constantly being broken up with by Chandler, and being lied to with ridiculous lies ("16 Yemen Road, Yemen."). Chandler did her dirty.

September 27, 2024 at 4:27 pm
i like janice more than o=any of chandler's friends but i get it why they portray her as someone very annoying. her bubbly personality, her constant talking, cheering, laughing and etc. is charming on screen in very little dosages, but seeing/hearing this in real lfe all day long can be too much. also she's obviously caring but such people also can be too overbearing. plus her very annoying voice lol it's like in HIMYM with glass breaking episode, you really can tolerate these type of 'quirks' only if you really truly deeply love a person. as much as i love Janice, i think i couldn't be able to be around her 24/7 in real life

Honestly Janice was never that bad. Especially compared to the core cast who we're actually supposed to like. She's certainly way more honest than the rest of them and personally I think that's why they didn't like her. She was genuine where they weren't. I think her and Chandler make way more sense than he and Monica, excluding the whole "best friend's little sister i fatshamed for years and wouldn't look at twice until she became conventionally attractive" thing.
@toddrickfrancis8860

#JusticeForJanice. Also, i never realize how similar her and Monica are, and i totally see it, which would make sense why he was so quick to be more than friends (no pun intended) with her when the time came. So my head canon is Janice returns and finds out Chandler and Monica have the twins. Shes with her first child who Monica notices looks like Chandler, but he doesnt wanna believe it. They confront her, and she tells the truth that it is his and thats why her and her first husband finally split. Both Monica and Chandler and Janice and her current husband agree to be good friends and be as close as the OG group
@ItWasBetterBefore
September 27, 2024 at 4:27 pm
What I always thought about the baby was that Janice rushed out and had a rebound relationship after Chandler, got pregnant right away, and then married the father. That would partly explain why the marriage doesn't work out; it was rushed and a matter of practical convenience. I appreciate the video. Justice for Janice.

Finally someone's talking about this. I never understood what was wrong with Janice, that she was constantly made fun of on d show. She was always nice to everyone in the gang n seemed to really love Chandler. The show was unfair to her for sure.
