In the video, Roshan posed a question to the AI chatbot, asking if it could be even more sarcastic, to which the chatbot responded in true Chandler fashion, saying, "Well, could I be more sarcastic? I guess I could but then I would have to charge you an extra fee for a sarcasm upgrade."
The creator accompanied the video with a heartfelt caption, acknowledging Matthew Perry's contribution to the world of entertainment. He noted that in the early days of social media, Chandler's jokes and memorable scenes from the show dominated online conversations.
He paid homage to the person behind the character and highlighted the positive impact Perry had on many individuals.
The tribute video quickly gained attention on Instagram, amassing 79,000 likes and garnering eight lakh views. Fans of 'Friends' and Matthew Perry expressed their emotions in the comments:
One user emotionally shared, "Dude I tried it I am crying while writing this... Friends has changed me in so many ways, and I really made it a part of my life. I'm still not over him passing away... thank you; it's just wow... hope this goes more viral."
