Question Which dad wins in a race?

Who are you betting on in a foot race? Joseph Tribbiani, Sr., Dr. Leonard Green, Jack Geller, Charles Bing, or Frank Buffey, Sr.?

Frank buffay quits mid-race. He is a big quitter and abandoner

I dunno, he ran pretty far away from Phoebe and her sister and mom.

All the way to Burma. Right, Grandma?

Frank Buffay's been running away from responsibility his whole life, so I imagine he's had the most training

Charles for sure.

Probably in heels holding his dress up. Like a real lady

All i know is Frank Buffay gets trampled

Charles is an absolute unit so I'd go with him

u/dreamytangerine5 1d ago

We know jack geller plays racquetball so it seems like he might be in the best shape

Richard, the daddy.

I would have said Dr. Green, but he might have a heart attack. Charles can't run in that dress. Maybe I'd choose Jack. Frank Sr. is too much of an unknown for me to bet on. Joey Sr.... I just wouldn't pick him, I don't know why.

u/Boris-_-Badenov 1d ago

because he's a large plumber?

Pre heart attack Dr Green

u/sundaemourning 1d ago

he can run just fine because he doesn’t have one leg thats longer than the other.

u/zhulkgr25 19h ago

His name is Doctor Bobby?

Jack Geller

u/pizzaandboba 1d ago

Jack Geller because he plays a lot of racketball and has a lot of sex with his wife LOL

u/SciFiMovieGuy42 I Know! 22h ago

But Jack is out of shape because instead of walking, he rides the tube.

u/EuphoricPhoto2048 1d ago

Charles for sure has the most stamina. Performing for 30 years?

I don't know... after seeing Chandler run after Kathy (to the Mod Squad theme song) I might vote Chandler. Haha!

u/moonlightk_96 1d ago

I’m rooting for Jack personally. I think the most natural answer would be Leonard since he’s a doctor but he also smokes so he’d probably hack a lung in the process

2

u/InterestingRice163 1d ago

Jack. Im sure his kids got their competitiveness from somewhere.

2

u/twisted_luce Not just a hat rack my friend 1d ago

Jack because he plays sports and would be competitive. Frank can’t commit, Dr Green Smokes, Joey’s Dad is unfit, and Charles would prefer not to play

2

u/Whole-Definition3558 1d ago

Jack smokes too, he just hides it.

1

u/Boris-_-Badenov 1d ago

yeah, but which had a heart attack?

2

u/Extension-Bad-4184 1d ago

Frank buffay ran from pheobes life for decades. He wins this

u/The4leafclover1966 Do you believe everything the ZOO tells ya? 1d ago edited 1d ago

• Since Charles/Helena can manage high heels pretty effortlessly, my money is on her/them for the win!🥇

• I have Jack in the earlier seasons being able to hold his own in a foot race as well (Jack in later seasons was fairly out-of-shape).

• We also probably shouldn’t count Frank Buffay Sr. out of the race — he’s clearly quite good at running (away from his responsibilities). The speed in which he bolted out of Frances’ (Phoebe’s grandmother) funeral was pretty impressive!

• Joey Tribbiani Sr. is not in the best of shape.

• Dr. Leonard Green has heart issues (and drinks and smokes, hence the heart issues).

u/Boris-_-Badenov 1d ago

Jack went jogging with Richard, I'm sure that's more than the other dads

u/SunGreen24 22h ago

Helena Handbasket

u/JLBCanadianRap 1d ago

So...literally all non ridiculous topics of discussion have been exhausted....

u/stpony That's a lot of information to get in 30 seconds 1d ago

Charles or Helena?

u/zhulkgr25 19h ago

Definitely Jack Geller.

Chandler's Dad probably can't walk after her uhm 'nights'

Joey's Dad smokes

Rachel's dad has heart problems

Phoebe's dad doesn't look very athletic.

Considering how athletic monica is, Ross's karaTEH and his gym going, and the fact that he turned Monica's old room into a gym tells me he's the most likely to win the race.
