The results of the #FriendsFest favourite Friend poll are in, and you voted for Ross!

The Rossatron won with 25.6 per cent of the vote. Chandler came second with 25.4 per cent and Joey did just fine in third place. 

Meanwhile, Phoebe was named the show’s most popular female character, followed by Rachel and Monica in fifth and sixth place.

Whether you agree or disagree, it's hard to deny that The Divorce Force had some pretty amazing moments. We've collected some of our faves into a handy gallery.

Now if you'll excuse us, we're off to get a spray tan and buy some leather trousers. And get married a couple of times.

The Best Moments in Ross History

  • Ross is Great, and Comedy Central viewers agreed when they voted him the best of all the Friends. We take a look at some of his best moments... Like when he flirted with stories about gas.

  • Or got a BIT too intense about Unagi. (Not salmon skin roll)
    NBC/Friends

    NBC/Friends

  • The time we realised that he was not a man to be messed with, sandwich-wise. He'll protect his MoistMaker™ fiercely.
    NBC/Friends
    8 of 15
  • What do you do when you leave a sweater at an ex's but still have a key? Pop round to get it! And then hide awkwardly behind the sofa while she makes out with a new boyfriend. Smooth move.
    NBC/Friends
    9 of 15
  • When he embraced a new trend (leather trousers) but they embraced him a *little* too tightly.
    NBC/Friends
    10 of 15
  • When he found the perfect nap partner in his pal Joey.
    NBC/Friends
    11 of 15
  • That time he found out his baby daughter liked offensive novelty rap songs. (WHO DOESN'T?)
    NBC/Friends
    12 of 15
  • PIVOT. PIVOOOOOOT!
    NBC/Friends
    13 of 15
  • The time he fell asleep while reading a very, very long letter. (It was eighteen pages.) (FRONT AND BACK)
    NBC/Friends
    14 of 15
  • The time he dazzled us all with his staggering (lack of) musical talent.
