Husband to Monica (Courteney Cox), best friend to Joey (Matt LeBlanc), king of the one-liner, and dad to a chick and a duck, Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) lives forever in our hearts as one of our favorite friends on Friends. We've picked out Chandler's best moment from each of the 10 seasons of the legendary sitcom, ahead.

Season 1: "The One With the Blackout"

In Chandler's best season 1 moment, he got trapped in an ATM vestibule with Victoria's Secret model Jill Goodacre (as herself) during a blackout. Chandler obsessed, in voiceover, over how to talk to her, then called Joey and communicated the situation to him using unintelligible noises. Always remember: "If Jill Goodacre offers you gum, you take it. If she offers you mangled animal carcass, you take it."

Julia Roberts guested in this season 2 episode as Susie "Underpants" Moss, who was a former classmate of Chandler in elementary school, thus nicknamed because young Chandler humiliated her by lifting up her skirt and exposing her underwear in front of the entire student body. Decades later, she got her revenge by going on a date with Chandler, convincing him to change into panties in a restaurant bathroom, then stealing his clothes and leaving him stranded.

Season 3: "The One With the Hypnosis Tape"

Chandler's most memorable season 3 escapade came when he tried to quit smoking through the use of a hypnosis tape. It worked, but, as it turned out, the tape was made to help female smokers kick the habit. Thus, Chandler internalized not only its anti-smoking guidance, but also its message that he was a "strong, confident woman."

Chandler was hardly visible (except for the occasional finger) in his most memorable season 4 appearance: He spent the annual Thanksgiving episode in a wooden box, trying to win Joey's forgiveness after having kissed Joey's girlfriend Kathy (Paget Brewster).

Season 5: "The One Where Everybody Finds Out"

When Monica and Chandler realized Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) knew about their relationship, they tried to force the women to admit what they knew. When Phoebe and Rachel found out that Monica and Chandler knew that they knew, Phoebe pretended to be interested in Chandler so he would confess his relationship with Monica. But when Chandler and Monica realized that Rachel and Phoebe knew that they knew that they knew...Long story short: In this season 5 episode, Chandler admitted to everyone, in the most wonderful and Friends-ian way possible, that he was in love with Monica.

Season 6: "The One on the Last Night"

While Chandler's emotional proposal to Monica (initiated by her) in the season 6 finale was also one of his most memorable episodes, we have to give credit to a great Joey-and-Chandler moment the night before Chandler moved in with Monica and Rachel moved out. Concerned about Joey's finances, Chandler invented a card game, "Cups," making up a new excuse with each hand they played to give Joey money. He successfully lost $1,500 to Joey — who then lost it all himself when he taught the made-up game to Ross (David Schwimmer).

Chandler had a VIP episode in season 7 when he tried to bond with Ross and Monica's dad Jack (Elliott Gould) with a game of racquetball. After the match, they went into the steam room where Chandler was temporarily blinded by the fog on his glasses and accidentally (and nakedly) sat on his future father-in-law's (also naked) lap.

Season 8: "The One Where Chandler Takes a Bath"

Monica got Chandler addicted to taking baths, but he had no talent for drawing them himself. When she prepared her own bath, he snuck into it before she got a chance, and all of the friends gathered around Chandler — sitting in the bathtub with a toy boat — when Ross and Rachel shared the news that they were having a girl.

Season 9: "The One With the Mugging"

In season 9, Chandler realized he wanted a career change (nobody knew what he did for work, anyway) and got an internship at an advertising agency. He felt like an old man compared to his youthful colleagues, but the generation gap inspired him to come up with a witty slogan for a rather horrible pair of sneakers.

Once again trying to make amends for having hurt Joey, and, once again, getting in touch with his feminine side, Chandler was forced to wear blue lipstick and call himself "a pretty little girl" after he lied to Joey about having watched a Japanese commercial for the beauty product that starred Joey.

Season 10: "The Last One"

Okay, so we already picked a best moment from season 10, but we couldn't help but include the very last scene of the very last episode. Before Monica and Chandler left their beloved apartment and moved to the suburbs with their twin babies, all six friends tearfully left their keys on the kitchen counter, then Rachel suggested they all grab coffee once more before Chandler and Monica left. As they all walked out the door, Chandler delivered the final line — and his final joke — of the series: "Where?"
