"I'll be there for you," is the Friends theme song, which tells everybody what they can expect from the characters in this show, and reliability is a big part of that. The entire series is full of moments where the gang showcases their loyalty to each other, whether it be Ross cheering up Phoebe with a bike or Rachel working for Monica when she does a tasting at her own apartment.
That isn't just with the lead characters either, as the ing cast is also a reliable bunch as well. While they are not always perfect, with the Ross and Rachel break debate being an example of that, the characters on the show can depend on each other for the most part. But who would fans say is the most reliable?
Mr. Treeger
Mr. Treeger is the superintendent of the building where Monica and Chandler's apartment can be found, and he does a great job for them. He is someone who will always be there to help them when needed, despite Ross not believing that he can't fix things when the apartment is incredibly hot.
Mr. Treeger always gets the jobs done when asked, which he deserves credit for. While he is technically hired to do that job, he is ionate about it and helping others, which is what makes him so reliable
Richard Burke
Richard Burke is one of the most memorable partners that one of the main characters dates throughout the show and a big reason for that is his reliability. He's one of the romantic partners who are always there for the other person, treating Monica with great respect throughout the entire relationship.
He is there for her from the start, even risking his friendship with Jack to make it work, with Richard refusing to give up on her even later on in life. He also makes a big influence with the rest of the group, spending time trying to get to know them, with Chandler even growing a mustache like him.
Janice
Janice might annoy a lot of the characters, but one thing that cannot be denied is that she is reliable to people. When she's in relationships with Chandler, Janice is always loyal, happy to be around, and wants to spend time with people.
Even though she actually gets treated very poorly by Chandler in particular, Janice is always happy to give a second chance and never questions things. She pops up several times throughout the show, even as just a friend to people, proving her kindness.
Gunther
Gunther might not be the first character that everybody thinks about, but the loyal Central Perk employee is incredibly reliable. The fact he is always at work is something that shows he is reliable, not being sick or deciding not to attend for any reason.
However, he is also someone who is always there for the group when needed. Of course, this is mainly for Rachel, but whenever there is a party, he will attend and when someone needs a job, he makes it happen. He does his best to prove he can be counted on.
Ross Geller
Ross Geller is a reliable friend, but outside of that, he can be quite questionable in regards to this trait. Ross is normally there for all his friends, although when he is in a grumpy mood, he can be a little harder to deal with.
In relationships, Ross isn't always the most reliable, which is proved by how things go with both Emily and Rachel throughout the show. He's also not shown seeing his son for long periods of time and often es him off to his friends and family, but on the whole, he is someone who can be relied upon.
Monica Geller
Monica Geller can be bossy at times and likes to be in control, telling everybody else what to do. However, she is a reliable person who all the other group depend on at times and want help when needed. She's always there for her brother, no matter what poor decisions he makes, proving her loyalty.
She is happy to give advice and the fact that she opens her apartment up to so many people throughout the series proves how trusting and reliable she is overall. Monica will always make time for people, no matter how busy she is, and the fact she can do that is proof of how great she works with others.
Rachel Green
Rachel Green might be selfish when the show begins, simply due to her spoilt nature, but as the series goes on it becomes clear she learns how to be kind and caring. Rachel is reliable as a friend, being there for all of them when needed.
Whether it's helping Ross with his relationship with Emily, going to several awards shows with Joey, or helping Monica with her job interview, Rachel always tries her best to help.
Phoebe Buffay
Phoebe Buffay has a heart of gold, and that is why she's so great at being reliable for people. She is always there for her friends, wanting to cheer them up whenever needed, and she is someone who never has any bad will in her mind and the need to help others is clear within her.
Whether Phoebe is driving people around frantically in her cab, looking after her grandma, being a surrogate mother, or just being a great friend, Pheobe is someone who can be relied upon no matter the situation.
Joey Tribbiani
Joey Tribbiani might not be the smartest character in Friends, but he does have the biggest heart, and that is why he is so reliable. Joey wants to do his best for everyone that he loves, which is why he's always there for every single member of the main group.
However, he's also a dedicated family man, looking out for his sisters or telling his mother about the affair his father is having. Joey is always there when somebody needs him with a laugh and a joke or a hug when the situation requires it, making him one of the most reliable characters in the show.
Chandler Bing
Chandler Bing is ultimately the most reliable person within Friends. While he often just gets seen as a loveable and comedic member of the group, he is ultimately someone who is always there for his friends. Throughout his life, he has been by Ross' side, and once he meets Joey, he treats him with kindness as well, letting him live in his apartment despite Joey's money issues.
He might not be as close to Phoebe and Rachel as other characters, but he is kind to both of them and always there with advice and warmth. However, his reliability is best shown with Monica. Even before they become a couple, Chandler is there for her, such as when he has to wee on her jellyfish sting or comforting her after Phoebe moves out. Everybody wishes they had a friend like Chandler.
