That surprised the hell out of me immediately. He walked in and I thought “oh, here comes Chandler”, then they call him Joey and I had to do a double take. Ngl, that creative decision kinda made the whole skit 10x better.
Isn't it easy to do Joey? You just have to use the "gorilla with his mouth full of peanut butter" voice. So the fact that Perry "can't" do it just makes it funnier.
ok everyone's talking about the whole "oMg that guy should have been chandler" situation and I'm just like... the couch is facing the wrong way. that made me really uncomfortable 😂
Chandler was definitely the funniest and kindest character on this show. It's so terrible that the the actor died so young. In this day and age, he could have been around another 30-40 years. Drugs suck. RIP, Matthew. I hope your pain is finally over and you can find your soul mate in Heaven.😢😢
but plays him exactly like he plays chandler. which makes me wonder, is this the only way he could play back then (so not play, just be yourself)? or was it on purpose?
@@bokkiegm Isn't part of the point of the sketch that everyone is doing a bad job? Either exaggerating the character, or being completely different to it or just not looking the part?
RIP Chandler, Oz, and O’donelle. Matthew Perry brought such a joy to each of our films with him, may you rest in peace my friend. Thank you for the laughs and joy you brought into our lives.
the Rachel head shake, Monica and Phoebe sound uncomfortable , Ross sounds like he's about to cry , Joey is over reacting , and Chandler is obnoxiously gay, I'm lovin it😂😂😂😜😜😜😉😉😉
My thought process: "Wow, their Chandler looks just like the real Chandler!" "Wait, that's supposed to be Joey? Why don't they have the Chandler-looking guy playing Chandler?" "Hold on. Is that actually...? Oh my God." "Yeah, I get it now."
So much laughter this guy brought to my life... so much.. very grateful to have watched him. No matter if he dies at 30 or 60 or 100 years old. He has done great.
i think people aren't getting the fact that he is making chandler to be extremely campy in front of the guy who actually plays chandler on purpose.. the rest is so on point especially the monica "hello?" haha
fonziegee I mean, I get it. It just sucked. It was all cringey. Yes, even the part where they pretend to drop character. SNL has used this premise in other sketches and it has worked before. But this was just awful. Colin staring at his cue cards at the end, ALL the actors seemed like they only watched one episode of Friends prior to this. I guess Chris’s Ross was pretty close but the reaction to Matthew’s insult to acting was embarrassing. It’s just a terrible sketch.
I like how so many people are questioning the fact that Matthew Perry is playing Joey. Like, this is a very simple concept and you fail to understand the point? He is playing a different character so he can get annoyed by someone else playing his character wrong.
It's a common enough SNL trope for Famous Celebrity A to play someone professionally related to them while an SNL cast member plays Famous Celebrity A. Like, one time when Mick Jagger was a guest he and Mike Myers went on "Weekend Update" with Myers playing Jagger and Jagger playing Keith Richards. ruclips.net/video/USleHz6FimQ/видео.html Also, when originally run people would have gotten the concept right away because Matthew Perry was the guest host that night, they expect Matthew Perry to be in sketches.It's only through hindsight of watching random RUclips videos that people might not know that Matthew Perry is in it at first. I mean, hel-LO!
@@joshuasteward6097Anyone who ha watched Friends and who didn't know the premise until Matthew Perry got annoyed with the portrayal of Chandler just shouldn't be watching this. From my perspective, everyone should have suspected the premise as soon as Mathew Perry walked through the door, spoke like Joey, and was called Joey. Then when Chandler came in and got it completely wrong from the outset, the entire premise was more than clear. Now, anyone who had never seen the show before gets a free pass. Impressions (or impressions so bad they're funny) only work with an audience familiar with everyone involved.
It was an exaggeration of their "characteristics" i.e. the way Monica sounds when she complains about something or how Rachel is constantly shaking her head when she explains certain things...just take it for what it is, humor.
They seem like depressed version of the actual characters
@CountryKid2005 most -of the real- actors are depressed
@CountryKid2005 No, not the actors, but the characters.
He’s saying the FRIENDS cast actually does battle depression.
And funnier
No that's the real version of friends

But he never did
That is so true! 😂😂😂

Chandler Bing definitely the Chandler one.
The Ross impression was the worst to be honest. The voice isn't even remotely the same tone. Or resembles ross at all.
Eesh don’t know what you were watching then
Matthew Perry❤❤😂😂😂 has it even out of character
Ok so many people are completely missing the sketch and getting all offended by it 😂😂
That Ross impersonation is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen 😂😂
they should really do a sketch where the real actors switch roles with each other as chandlar played joey and so on!!! would be soooooo funny
That would be awsome!
edunodl I think it's a decent idea, just needs to be fleshed out. No need to be such a prick about it
There was an episode of Glee where that exact premise happened. The actors played each other’s characters.
