I'm sorry I can't vote because I can't choose between Chandler or Ross, although tbh I only really liked Joey, the rest kinda suck (also didn't watch most of the episodes, wasn't a fan of friends).

Phoebe was kinda annoying sometimes but I wouldn't shoot her probably, so I'll keep her an Joey and yall can have the rest.

Ross is the worst
Phoebe is the best

Depends on your definition of "worst". If it the one who brought the least to their group of friends, probably Phoebe. If it was the one who brought the least to the show, probably either Phoebe or Chandler. The most self-centered might have been either Rachel, Joey, or Ross.

I'm just going to go with Phoebe. Although she had her occasional moments, the show would have been just as well without her. I struggle to remember one big Phoebe storyline and, among the group, she had the fewest connections. Four members of the group were romantically involved, so the remaining two were kinda left out. Then, of the group, Ross, Rachel, and Joey seemed to get the most storylines. And Joey / Matt LeBlanc was huge at the time, even if he never really made it big after the show (although I loved Episodes) while Jennifer Anniston became a reasonably big name and then the chick who played Monica had a reasonably good run with Cougar Town.

Actually, in terms of success after Friends... let's see... there's a net worth list but that can't be right.

From what I can tell, though, Jennifer is by far the most successful cast member followed by Courtney Cox (who I forgot was in the Scream films). None of the others seem to have been huge afterward. Matt LeBlanc had a lot of work, but nothing was huge. I guess that might be enough to qualify him as number three. The rest all kinda seem about equal, although at least Kudrow has some films I recognize.

Short answer, Ross is the worst. Chandler is the best. Joey is close second.

I actually really like the show and remember watching it as it aired when I was young.
Ross is the worst character because (this is of course all my opinion) he is more annoying than funny, I dont think the constant whiny attitude is funny. And his dynamic with the other characters feels more like a filler role. I feel like the show would be largely the same or better without him.
His most substantial plot relevance is in his on and off relationship with Rachael, which is an annoying series long arch that didnt need to happen.

They shoulda kicked him off and made Paul Rudd the official 6th Friend.
