Wonderful Person of the Week: Janice (from Friends)

Oh. My. God. In episode 25, Jacob and Spenser said that they’d use Janice as a Wonderful Person if there were no wonderful people to name. That dream has now come true this week.

Janice is one of the most loved and hated reoccurring characters in any sitcom. She was annoying, needy, unfaithful, and liked to make up nicknames for Chandler “My Bingaling.” Played perfectly by Maggie Wheeler, Janice appeared in every season of Friends and stole every scene she was in. Her nasally New York accent and her goddamn laugh were the essence of many jokes. Once, Chandler wanted to get rid of Janice so bad that he had the plan to lie to her that he was moving. Of course it backfired, and he lied about moving to the country of Yemen the next day. She drove him to the airport, and he actually had to go to Yemen. 

Janice was favorited by none of the Friends but many fans adored her stir-the-pot attitude. She’s wonderful because she makes us miss Friends.
