  • Matthew Perry rose to stardom in the 1990s as Chandler Bing on the sitcom "Friends."

  • Fans loved his character for his deadpan sarcasm, dad jokes, and relatable neuroticisms.

  • Here are some of the best Chandler quotes and one-liners, including Perry's favorite line.

Tributes for the "Friends" star Matthew Perry have been pouring in after authorities found the actor dead at his Los Angeles home Saturday. He was 54.

For a decade Perry appeared in more than 200 episodes of the Emmy-award-winning sitcom as the neurotic but sweet Chandler Bing.

Perry, who was just 24 when he landed the role, managed to set himself apart as "the funny one" on one of the funniest shows ever produced. The showrunners even gave him the last word in the final episode as the cast heads out of the apartment and Rachel suggests grabbing a coffee. "Sure. Where?" jokes Chandler.

Here are some of the best one-liners from Matthew Perry's character.
