Can You Guess Who This Friends Character Is With Just One Quote?

7.1K Shares

Friends has six of the most likable characters in television history. Each member of the group and many of the co-stars had very strong personalities that never got boring or played out. From the outside looking in, it may seem that there was little character growth overall, but that's not totally true. From the last season compared to the first, only a couple of the characters are really similar. Sure, they each have their main features that never really changed, but it never got stale. Friends is also one of those shows that everyone has watched, many of us more than once. It came on at a time when the best sitcoms were going off the air, and it quickly claimed the throne as the best comedy on television.

We know you watched the show and we know you can remember most of the episodes, but how deep does your Friends knowledge go? If we gave you a quote, could you name the speaker? There are some quotes that are just too iconic and too easy for this quiz. We've excluded these. We've also tried to avoid the really random quotes. We tried to select the funniest and the most representative quotes without being too obvious. Let's see how you do.

Question 1

He's a transponster!

In season four, The One With The Embryos, the gang gets wrapped up in a high-stakes trivia game. The girls' apartment and the guys' animals are on the line. The questions are all about the opposing team members. Ross spends a ridiculous amount of time setting the game up and writing all of the questions. The quote above has to do with one of the questions in the game, referring to Chandler's job. During the final question, who said, "He's a transponster!"

Question 2

You ever realize Captain Crunch’s eyebrows are actually on his hat?

In The One Where Joey Moves Out, Chandler and Joey get into a small argument that snowballs. When Joey sees a friend's amazing apartment, he is spurred on to get his own place and he moves out. Obviously, things don’t last long on that front. On the other side of the hall, Monica and Richard are hiding their relationship from Monica's parents (also Richard's friends). Meanwhile, Phoebe and Rachel go and get tattoos, Rachel gets a heart on her hip and Phoebe gets a dot. But who said the Captain Crunch line?

Question 3

Gum would be perfection

Oh, are you setting Ross up with someone? Does she have a wedding dress?

Anyone could have said the following, but only one member of the group did. Who said, "Oh, are you setting Ross up with someone? Does she have a wedding dress?"

Question 5

You don't own a TV? What's all your furniture pointed at?

During one of the rare episodes that takes place away from New York City, The One in Barbados, several members of the group take a trip to Barbados. Ross and Charlie are there to work, Joey and Rachel are there for fun, and Chandler tries to help Phoebe negotiate her relationships with Mike and David.

But someone also said this line: "And remember, if I'm harsh with you, it's only because you're doing it wrong." Who?

Question 19

Bad day not to wear a bra

In the One Where Monica Sings, Monica gets up on stage at a karaoke bar and begins to sing. At first, she's shy and awkward, but when the male-dominated crowd starts to cheer, Monica gets a second wind and really amps up her performance.

Do you know who?

You threw my sandwich away?

Question 23

Well, when I walk outside naked, people throw garbage at me

In the One with the Cuffs, Rachel is having issues at work because Chandler and Rachel's boss are in a relationship. Monica and Phoebe cater a party at Monica's parents, which starts off disastrous but has a happy ending.

Question 25

Oh, I'm sorry. Did my back hurt your knife?

In the One with The Breast Milk, Joey and Chandler are uncomfortable with Carol breast-feeding Ben in front of them. Phoebe and Joey then taste Carol's breast milk, which pretty much freaks out everyone else. Joey and the Hombre Man have a showdown in the store seeing who is the better cologne sampler guy. It ends with the Hombre Man eagerly spraying cologne on a man and getting him in the eyes. Joey wins the girl and Ross tastes the breast milk. But who says, "Oh, I'm sorry.
