What is Friends?

Friends follows six friends navigating life, love, careers, and chaos in New York City. The show’s format is built for trivia: recurring jokes, relationship arcs, iconic props, and “only true fans notice this” details.

The comedy isn’t just situational — it’s character-driven. That means the best quiz questions often test what each character would do, say, or fail at (spectacularly) in a specific episode.

Main characters

Rachel Green
Fashion, growth arcs, unforgettable entrances, and relationship drama.
Ross Geller
Dinosaurs, “on a break” chaos, and emotional over-analysis.
Monica Geller
Competitive energy, hosting, cleanliness, and iconic Thanksgiving moments.
Chandler Bing
Sarcasm as a lifestyle, awkward charm, and elite one-liners.
Joey Tribbiani
Food, acting, loyalty, and “How you doin’?” energy.
Phoebe Buffay
Unpredictable stories, weird wisdom, and legendary songs.

What Friends quiz questions usually test

  • Quotes: punchlines, catchphrases, and who said what.
  • Episodes: plot specifics, guest stars, and what happened next.
  • Running jokes: recurring bits that only real fans remember.
  • Props & places: apartment details, Central Perk, and iconic objects.
