They were friends in college and away from their parents at that time, so that's probably why. It's not like Rosa's connection to Rachel, whose parents were very close and spent time together.
@@lordalessan Still hard to believe, especially if they were so close and held a long-term friendship. If they were just typical friends, who weren't close/best friends, then I could understand.

@@pb4ugo19 Chandler had been distanced from his parents for so long because of their troubled relationship. It's not surprising the Gellers never really met Nora and Charles.

Kathleen Turner was probably the best casting for a transgender woman. And I mean that in a genuine way. Bette is a handsome woman, and they handled the topic actually really well for a 90's show, in spite of her being a joke character. I wonder if they had a transgender woman consultant? At most Chandler 's mom was a bish,, but more in a jilted ex instead of a phobic bish You also have to remember, it's a show from the 90'd a sitcom at that. So probably wouldn't have gotten away with changing the pronouns or making it a joke. Like how Ellen made it a joke for her being a lesbian
@@AgentZ46 it's the 90's they couldn't really be In Your face about it back then, the writer didn't want to go out saying yay or nay, look at what happened to Ellen when she came out, her show dropped faster than a rollercoaster at 6 flags. It's hard to say, tbh,

No wonder Chandler had doubts. He did show up in his shooting dress. It starts with Joey convincing Monica to be a ministainer where he shows a hat🤠 to wear at the wedding
Morgan Fairchild and Kathleen Turner were fantastic as Chandler's parents. Their banter is comedy gold; you totally buy that they used to be married. You also totally buy that these are the people that raised Chandler: with parents like those, how could he not grow up with a sharp wit? The extended scene is really interesting, it implies that Charles/Helena Bing's sexuality was never a secret, making it sound like a marriage of convenience (or at least a toxic codependence) rather than love.
I know it’s a stupid question, but after I finished every single episode in this show I still haven’t yet figured out the whole story of chandler’s dad. I mean was he gay before he was married or after and why does he have the intention of turning into a woman because in the episode of Monica’s wedding chandler’s mom said she saw him in a wedding dress when they got married, and I also still don’t understand how he transformed totally into a woman, did he have surgeries to turn his body into a female one?
She likely had the top surgery but not the bottom surgery. You don't even have to have a surgery to be considered transgender. She likely thought she was just gay. But felt validated wearing dresses/crossdressing.
From what I understood of the story, Chandler's dad was Bi at first and did Drag. But then acknowledged that he was gay but still kept doing Drag. He is not trans or non binary and defines himself as him, also allowing Chandler to call him dad as he is, his dad. I am sure that outside the close family group, the dad would prefer to be called by his stage name and does not mind being identified as male much by his son as he also treats him in a gender fluid way but cannot avoid calling him 'dad'. He did not transition and seems to be a top so I don't think he is a trans woman in every sense of the matter, just genderfluid, before genderfluid was a thing.
"A groovy kind of love" rdcorded in the 60s by The Mindbenders, covered by many artists, like Phil Collins in the 80s. It was inspired on a melody by a classical composer.
“did you know i slept with the bestman” yup he told me, unless i think that was what he said, so difficult to understand with “ His legs wrapped around my head” 😅😅😅
@@thewodnisty2 well it’s funny, the only reason there was interracial relationships was cause David Schwimmer specifically asked for women of different races to be love interests
What's truly hilarious is people mislabeling Charles Bing as a trans woman when the show and the screenwriters always made it clear back then that he was just a cis gay guy who was really into crossdressing, on stage and IRL. It's indeed "hilarious" to see that for some people, a crossdresser and transgender person are apparently the same thing... And I thought it was only transphobic people who equated trans women with "dudes who wear a dress, makeup, and a wig"...
What i really love abt this show is how nobody was extra sensetive in 90s so all of the chef’s kiss jokes weren’t considered as “offensive” you cannot make a show like this nowaday cuz ppl re getting offended by everything they would probably cancel you
the original creators already declared that a lot of their jokes and humor in general are old visioned and would be wrong by today standards. don't be a dick, it's not about people being sensitive, it's about respecting others.
@@LukOliveira95 someone talking bout respect while calling others dck 💀 my bff is trans she enjoys trans jokes a lot cuz she is smart enough to understand that it’s a fcking JOKE and there is noting to get triggered or get offended. Y all are just sensetive af
These sort of comments are so useless. Like imagine if I found an upload of a racist film from the 1920s that had blackface in it and your dumbass was commenting the same thing there. No shit people would have problems with it because it's outdated.
He said it as a joke but Chandler does have very good looking parents. He has some nice genes.
If they weren’t fictional. 🤷🏻♀️ Because, technically, none of them are related, and Chandler’s “dad” is played by a woman.
@@73cidalia That is pretty obvious from a logical stand point, why bother bring that up when the comment was clearly talking about the characters inside the story? She's just praising Chandler's parent's looks.
Perry's real parents are very good looking too. His dad was an Old Spice model.
Well considering that his mom is played by Morgan Fairchild and Dad by Kathleen Turner sure 😂
“I didn’t have a chance to act like I’m ok with it!” 😂
Ross' father and Rachel's father do not have to try hard, the moment they are in the play it is funny for no reason.
Ross's parents and Chandler's parents
True story!
“You can’t ask us, that would be cheating” 🤣🤣🤣
Rachel's ' a- man -duh'😂
“It’s not bad luck then”
“Honey it isn’t good luck”
'are you chandler' 'are you joey' 😭😂
"Honey, it isn't good luck.". 🤣
About my favorite line in the whole series.
1:05-1:13 we all can see where Chandler got his humor from. Both their parents are extremely sarcastic😂
He makes jokes when uncomfortable
“Are you Chandler?”
“Are you Joey?”
😂😂😂
Jack Geller is my favourite supporting character on the show.
“I didn’t even get a chance to act as though I’m ok with it.” 😂😂
He smashes the character whenever on screen
He was such a great film actor just 20yrs before Friends
☺️
2:41 the way Nora comforts Monica you can tell shes gonna be a good mother-in-law and a even better grandma to Jack and Erica
I often pictured what it would be like with them showing up to see the babies ❤
I wish it was aired :)
"Honey it isn't good luck!" 🤣
Chandler: Hi “Dad”
Monica: Hi Mr. Bing
Mr. Bing: Nora
Nora: Charles 😆😅😂🤣
That pause though🤪
Jack Geller is endlessly entertaining, the only person besides Chandler he always consistently gave me a laugh.
1:50 This cracks me up every time - no words just the looks!
It just occurred to me Chandlers parents divorced for the same reason as Ross and Carol😂😂😂
Right on point 👌
Little Ben had it easy becuase it happend before he was born. Little Chan had to see it in an age where he already had conscience that his family was going to blow
Carol was gay. Chandler's father turned out to be trans. Different things.😢
Almost the same; I mean Carol chose to be with another woman, while Charles chose to be a woman.
Well I'm assuming u know about Ross and Chandler's mom too 😂
Kathleen vs Morgan was GREAT casting....
I know right? They worked so well off each other! 😄
Such a missed opportunity to not have them occasionally reprise their roles. Their burns on each other were golden!
Ross dad was hilarious 🤣🤣
I want Kathleen Turner’s voice to be the voice of my thoughts. So rich and mellow. Smooth and round and chocolatey.
1:40 I got a six pack laughing at this
0:06 "Oh honey, this is so exciting! I thought we'd screwed you up so bad this day would never come." This line steals the spotlight for me in this entire scene!
Yup..
From every story Chandler said about his parents, no wonder everyone is surprised 🤪
Fight btwn Chandler's parents 🥰
Great combo of roasting each other
RIP, Matthew Perry.
We miss him..
Apparently, he went out of rehab to shoot this episode, then went right back. Fought for so long... RIP
"so you two were married, huh?"😂😂😂 No one can deliver that as perfectly as Phoebe
Phoebe's mindvoice: No wonder Chandler's so screwed up, making jokes when he is uncomfortable.
You can't ask us son that's cheating 😂😂
He crushed it
You look beautiful too dad!!
I didn’t even get a chance to act like I was ok with it lol 😂
He crushed it
If Ross & Chandler have been close friends for decades, how can the parents have never met?! Lol.

Gellers hated chandler for the pot thing maybe that's why they didn't chandler met more or his parents.
@@pb4ugo19 Chandler had been distanced from his parents for so long because of their troubled relationship. It's not surprising the Gellers never really met Nora and Charles.
Chandlers parents got divorced when he was a kid so it is safe to assume he lived on his own when he was in college.

Funny and sane, something you won't find on TV today.
2:21 Ok Phoebe is either thinking "No wonder Chandlers screwed up" or "Ok its official Chandlers parents are the most intreseting"
I really thought Chandler was screwed up by his parents.
Always thought they could have made Monica and her dress better for wedding
Yet she is beautiful
She has to give up her favourite dress for booking swing music for Chandler
I really liked her dress lol to each is own ❤.
ive always thought the same 😭 her dress that she had to give up was so much prettierr, i wish she stayed with something similar.
It’s so clean
My favorite interaction of all time between Morgan Fairchild and Kathleen Turner. 2nd fav is Brad Pitt on Thanksgiving episode.
You can't ask us son,that's cheating.
Are you Chandler?
Are you Joey?
