Who is Joey Tribbiani?
Joey is the character the writers had to rescue. The original conception was a slick, predatory ladies' man, and it did not work — the retooling made him warm, guileless and genuinely dim, and that is the version people remember. What holds it together is that his loyalty is absolute and never played for a joke: the show is willing to make him foolish about almost anything except his friends. He is a struggling actor whose one real credit is a soap opera, and the running gag about him not sharing food is the sort of small consistent detail that ten seasons let a sitcom build. Matt LeBlanc later carried a spin-off, which failed, and the general view is that the character only functions inside the ensemble.

Why Joey Tribbiani endures
The clearest example of a sitcom character rescued by retooling, and part of an ensemble whose collective pay negotiation changed how television casts are contracted.

Signature motif: The Friends wordmark with coloured dots; a slice of pizza
This property's merchandise is overwhelmingly the wordmark rather than any character — the dotted lettering and the Central Perk sign carry nearly all of it. Character-specific designs are almost entirely quoted lines.
