Line 6:
'''Chandler Muriel Bing''', son of romantic novelist Nora Tyler Bing ([[Morgan Fairchild]]) and cross-dressing Vegas burlesque star Charles Bing ([[Kathleen Turner]]), was the roommate of [[Ross Geller]] in college. Chandler met Ross' sister [[Monica Geller]] and her friend [[Rachel Green]] while celebrating the holidays at the Geller family residence. Chandler later moved to apartment #19, across the hall from the apartment of Monica and her then roommate [[Phoebe Buffay]]. [[Joey Tribbiani]] joined him shortly and Chandler stayed with him until he decided to move across the hallway with Monica upon their engagement in season 6.
Chandler worked as a [[Data entry clerk|Data-Processor]], a job which he thoroughly loathed. His friends, ina trivia game, could not guess his job in one instance. However, Chandler was unable to simply quit his job as it was his nature to avoid ending anything forcefully, be it his job, a relationship or even his membership with a [[gym]]. Possibly the finest - and most extreme - example of his determination to avoid ending a relationship forcefully involves the 'mind-numbingly annoying' character [[Janice (Friends character)|Janice]], who was a constant reoccurring fixture in his life. His final attempt to leave her once and for all involved Chandler claiming he was moving to [[Yemen]] (address: 15 Yemen Road, Yemen), and then actually boarding a plane and flying to Yemen (albeit reluctantly) just to prove to her that he is not lying.
Chandler’s [[wit|wise-cracks]] were a particular highlight of the show. Some fine examples include Chandler describing [[Rachel Green|Rachel]]’s attempts to stop him smoking by throwing away every [[cigarette]] he puts into his mouth as "the least fun game ever", quoting [[A.A. Milne]] as having said "Get out of my chair, Dillhole" in an attempt to persuade Joey to vacate the chair he'd been sitting in, and his insistence that his surname is [[Goidelic languages|Gaelic]] for ‘thy turkey’s done’. His conversations with [[Phoebe Buffay|Phoebe]], which ranged from why [[Donald Duck]] wears a [[towel]] when getting out of the [[shower]], to why there isn’t a [[superhero]] called ‘Goldman’, were another highlight of the show. Often, when he and [[Ross Geller|Ross]] are trying to pickup women, he would be referred to as 'The Funny One'.
Line 14:
Chandler famously shared an apartment with his best friend [[Joey Tribbiani]]. [[Chandler and Joey's apartment]] became an important focal point for the series as one of the meeting areas of the gang. The two formed perhaps one of the most likeable and enduring television friendships in sitcom history. Their adventures included losing Ross's son on a [[bus]], building an 'entertainment center' which was so big it covered both of their doors, buying a chick and a duck (affectionately named '[[The Chick and The Duck]]'), replacing their dining table with a [[foosball]] table and spending hours watching [[Baywatch]]. In the final episode the two symbolically destroyed the foosball table, before Chandler moved to [[Westchester County, New York|Westchester]]; however, despite no longer living in the same apartment block, Chandler and Monica made it known that their new home would have a specially designated 'Joey room'.
In season 4, Chandler began an affair with his close friend [[Monica Geller]] in [[London]]. They had been friends for some time and had known each other for a long time. The two fell in love and eventually moved in together. They married (their wedding was officiated by Joey, who was ordained over the [[internet]]) and, in the final episode, watched as their (unforseen) adopted twins - Erica and Jack - were born.
Some interesting Chandler facts:
* Monica accidentally severed his toe with a knife one Thanksgiving.
* He had a [[third nipple]] (his "nubbin"). Apparently, it was "the source of all his power." However, he had a "nubbinectomy" after he lost his one-legged girlfriend, Ginger, who was bothered by it.
* Subscribed to [[TV Guide]] under the alias "Ms.
