Wow, sad news. I wasn't the biggest fan of Friends but it was an iconic show for sure back in the day.

That kind of sarcasm humour is nearly always lead by demons though, there is a link unfortunately
RIP
Chandler was a fictional character though, reading out lines written for him by a team of comedy writers. Admittedly, Perry pulled it off as a natural, but you shouldn’t conflate the two as one. That kind of sarcasm humour is nearly always lead by demons though, there is a link unfortunately

I’m of an age that I grew up with Friends being a regular watch on TV. Always enjoyable. All the actors seemed to work so well together.
Even my young kids watch Friends now and love it - one of the those rare grown up programmes that has multi generational appeal because it was a feel good programme that was not offensive.
I thought it was very sad to see how vague he was on the Friends reunion. He seemed lost and almost unaware. I remember feeling very sad for him.
So many people of my era and older passing away now, each one makes me feel that little bit older.
Never met him but he came across as a funny and nice guy. RIP.

Just so you are aware, most of the lines were written by him. He would attend writers' meetings and adjust his character's lines which generally made it through. He'd said he never watched the show because all he could see in his performances was whichever drug he was on at the time of filming and that there were three full years where he doesn't remember anything of making the show.
I was very much one of those who'd roll their eyes when celebs told tales of how being wealthy & loved by millions didn't solve your problems, but guys like Matthew Perry really drove it home. I certainly have less time for the moralistic "addiction is a choice" types I encounter these days.
