Who is the oldest of the friends cast?

Answer 1

Oldest to youngest, the characters are (with their birth dates):

1. Phoebe (February 16, 1967)
2. Joey* (1968)
3. Chandler (April 8, 1968)
4. Ross (October 18, 1968)
5. Monica (March 22, 1970)
6. Rachel (May 5, 1970)

*Joey's birthday is unknown, but we know he was definitely born between 1967-1969. It is assumed he was born in 1967 or early 1968. Joey at one point talks about how he loved Spring Break 1981, to which Monica responds, "You were 13 in 1981," meaning that he was born in 1968. However, for Joey to be 13 during Spring Break 1981 and have been born in 1968, he would've had to have been born in early 1968, since most Spring Breaks are in early April. The other alternative is that he was born in 1967 after Spring Break season, and he hadn't yet had his 14th birthday. We know that Joey is older than Chandler, because Joey says during a flashback to his thirtieth birthday, "Why, God, why!" Then during a flashback to Chandler's birthday, he says, "Now, Chandler!" showing that at first he was upset about his own birthday, but then he's upset again about Chandler's birthday. Joey is without a doubt the second oldest because he is older than Chandler, but younger than Phoebe because if he was older than Phoebe, he would've been 14 during Spring Break 1981.
