The sitcom Friends is a show filled with many, many characters. There is six main characters on the show, and each of them engage and interaction with a number of different people throughout the ten seasons. Work colleagues, relatives, friendships, relationships, old classmates, strangers on the street, the list goes on. One of the great things about Friends is just how diverse the characters are. There are intelligent people and not so smart, people who love their jobs and people who hate their jobs, people who struggle with relationships, finances, and even body image. With the number of people that make it on the screen, it can be a little bit of a challenge to keep track of them all. And not just by their names and faces either, but by distinct qualities that make them all different. For example, only one person on the show ever owned a monkey as a pet. And only one person made Chandler wear ladies underwear as revenge for pulling up her skirt back in the third grade. With all of these backstories and overlapping connections, only a true fan of Friends will be able to ace this character quiz. Do you think you’re up for the test?
Which character left their fiancé at the altar on their wedding day?
Marriage and relationships are a common theme on the show Friends. All of the six main characters struggle in one aspect in their relationships throughout the ten seasons. For example, Ross has to cope with the failure of his first marriage in the beginning of the series; for several seasons Chandler can’t seem to get a girl to look at him let alone date him; and Rachel never seems to pick the right guy. Even when some characters do get proposed to that still doesn’t guarantee that a wedding will be held.
What is the name of the character who bought the cat from Rachel?
Despite all that Rachel had accomplished throughout the series, there was still parts of her that held onto the spoiled reality that was her childhood. She may have worked her way from the bottom up in her career, gained independence from her father and his money, but she still continued to neglect the true value of money. At least this was evident in her extravagant purchase of a hairless sphynx cat, which she only wanted because her grandmother had one when she was a little girl.
Which character did Monica and Rachel accidentally “fog?”
In the fifth season of Friends, Monica and Rachel venture down into the dark and dungeon-looking storage unit in their apartment building. Searching for Monica’s old waffle iron, the girls are clearly on edge because the basement has some creepy vibes to it. Their nightmares become real when a “yeti” man appears in the shadows, startling them because he was holding a pick axe. Running in terror, Rachel triggers a bug bomb which “fogged” the intruder. It is revealed that the scary yeti-man was actually a neighbor who had just returned from a trip.
What is the name of the character that bought Rachel a scooter for her birthday?
Turning older is something none of the six main characters really liked. Especially when it came to turning thirty – to them it was a true indicator of becoming old. None of them really handled it all that well. Joey had a mental breakdown, claiming he was never meant to get older. Phoebe tried her best to get all of the things done on her bucket list only to learn she had already turned 30 the previous year. Rachel had the luxury of being showered with gifts on her birthday, although some were less meaningful than others.
Which character bought a boat for one of their friends?
Most of the Friends characters struggle at one point or another with money. In fact, it is quite an important theme on the show. For Rachel, she came from a lifestyle in which she got everything she ever wanted or needed, even though she probably could’ve gone without most of it. Suddenly she had to start over, where she cut off all ties to her father and his money and struggled to adapt to adulthood. But she wasn’t the only one; many of them lost their jobs and/or had to work really hard to pay off their bills.
What is the name of the character who has eleven towel categories?
There is a certain character on the show who demonstrates a number of organizational qualities that seem overbearing to the rest of the group. Time and time again she nags her friends about different things, whether it be their cleaning abilities, their sense of taste when it comes to furniture and where it should go in the apartment, and many other things. For a while she wasn’t even aware of these qualities her friends constantly make fun of her for.
What character almost bought the house next door to Chandler and Monica?
In the last few seasons of the show, Monica and Chandler’s relationship continued to develop into marriage and parenthood. They went from being friends and across the hall neighbors, to one day spending the night together and something clicked. From there the rest was history. Although they’ve had their occasional fight, the two of them have dealt with many hardships. Their most obvious was the fact that they couldn’t conceive a child together, although that didn’t stop them from adopting in the last season.
Who was named after a hospital janitor?
There are a number of children born throughout the duration of the show – from a number of the main cast as well. Ross has two children, a son and a daughter (despite the fact that they are from different women). Although Monica and Chandler did not conceive their twins themselves, I think it’s fair to say they were very much a part of the journey with the birth mother. One of the more strange pregnancies and births on the show had to have been Phoebe and her being a surrogate for her half-brother and his wife.
Which character had their own taxi cab as their vehicle?
Surprisingly enough not many of the characters in this show have their own vehicle. Although if you think about where they live, most of the time they can either walk to their destination or simply take the train/subway/bus. Also they’ve commented several times about the parking situation, so I’m certain that might also have something to do with it. One of the cars that have been featured is of course Monica’s Porsche which she received as a gift from her father.
What is the name of the character that Rachel broke up with because of his excessive crying?
As it was said before, Rachel was not very wise when it came to dating. Remember the first guy she dated back in season 1? The Italian guy named Paolo who hit on her best friend Phoebe despite the fact that he was in a relationship with Rachel? Even her fiancé, whom she left at the altar at the beginning of the series wasn’t the best match for her. This was evident in the fact that he was cheating on his current girlfriend with Rachel.
Which character nicknamed Monica “Harmonica?”
Monica takes pride in being the mother hen of the entire group. She is the one who organizes all of the functions down to the theme, the playlist, and even the style of food that will be served. She’s also the person her friends go to for advice on practically anything. Unfortunately her reputation of being the strong, mature adult has its downfalls. Luckily there is one person in her life who still sees her as the little girl she once was.
What is the name of the character who would tap his apartment ceiling when Rachel and Monica were being too loud?
Despite the fact that all six of the main characters live in an apartment building, their interactions with neighbors are minimal to none. I don’t recall Phoebe meeting or speaking with any of the neighbors in her building, and Ross only engaged with the people on his floor when he first moved into his apartment building. Throughout the entire series there are only a couple times that Rachel, Monica, Joey and Chandler mention their neighbors. One of these is of course during the cheesecake stealing fiasco.
Which character did Ross marry in London?
As it was mentioned before, Ross doesn’t do that well in the marriage department of his life. In fact, by the end of the series he had been divorced three times, and it was beginning to take its toll on his mental state. His first marriage ended because his wife left him for another woman. This was extremely tragic for Ross because she was his first time and shortly after their separation it was revealed that she was pregnant with his child.
What is the name of the girl Rachel went to college with?
Although it was made clear that Rachel did not do much studying in college, it was a place for her to spread her social butterfly wings. She mentions on several occasions that she was in fact in a sorority, although no one seems to really care or comment on it until a dirty little secret is revealed by Monica. She accidentally shares with the group that one time Rachel and another girl got a little friendly during one of their parties.
Which character has seven sisters?
Sibling relationships are fairly common in the show Friends. The most obvious is between two of the main six characters, Ross and Monica Geller. They are very close in age and spent most of their childhood and adulthood together. Even when Ross went away to college Monica went to visit him and his roommate Chandler. There are other minor sibling relationships that make it on the show, such as Rachel and her sisters, as well as Phoebe and her twin, as well as her half-brother.
What is the name of the character Chandler kissed while she was dating Joey?
Joey and Chandler are depicted as not only close friends on the show, but in some cases as brothers. They were roommates during the first few seasons of the show, and although they had their differences, they would always back each other up no matter what. However, their friendship is tested when Chandler unintentionally falls in love with Joeys girlfriend, where he ends up kissing her one night. When he reveals to Joey what he has done, Joey feels completely betrayed and doesn't speak with him for several days.
Which character did Ross’s first wife leave him for?
As it was said before, Ross has a long history of failed marriages that led him to a total of three divorces. Although he has said on several occasions that what happened between him and Carol was not his fault, she simply discovered that she was attracted to women and he couldn't help that. Unfortunately for Ross, she came to realize this after they had already been married, and after they had already conceived a child together. Together Carol and her new wife raised their son.
What is the name of the woman who is overly critical of Monica?
Due to Monica's perfectionist nature and her compulsive disorder, she doesnt really take risks or do anything wild and crazy. In fact, its a running gag between the group that Monica isnt much of a "wild child." For example, Chandler once defends Monica by saying shes fun when it comes to organized indoor activities. Part of this behavior stems from her need to please almost everyone, including even her own neighbors. Remember the time she stayed up all hours to make them candies one holiday year?
Which character is the agent to Joey?
Joey is the one of the only ones out of the main six who sticks to the same career throughout the entire series. Sure, he has done plays, tv shows, movies, etc, but they all had to do with acting of some kind. Monica is also the only one who sticks to cooking. She worked at the diner, and the many restaurants, and even when she was unemployed she and Phoebe started their own catering business. Although Joey struggled sometimes with lack of gigs, he did make a lot of money with his TV roles.
What is the name of the character that married his home-economics teacher?
This character gets introduced in the beginning part of the series. At first he was just a random character that had an interaction with Phoebe while she was playing guitar on the street. Little did she know that she was related to this guy, and happened to be a long lost sibling she never knew she had. It was exciting for both of them to find out they were half-siblings to each other, and he continued to star on the series throughout the seasons.
Which character married a woman named Mindy?
At the beginning of the series, Rachel appears in Central Perk soaked head to toe in a wedding dress. She reveals to the group that she had just run out on her own wedding when she realized she desired the gravy boat more than her own fiance. Even though she left him, the two continued to see each other after the fact while Rachel was still adjusting to her new adult life. It wasn't until she realized he was seeing another woman that she decided to cut him off completely.
What is the name of Phoebe’s twin?
Throughout the entire series Phoebe struggles with her family life. For the first little while, she felt extremely alone because all she had was her twin sister and they did not get along very well. Down the road she found out she had another sibling, and the two of them had a positive relationship. Then she found out that her birth mother was actually alive and she was raised by an adoptive mother. From there she eventually met her biological father who abandoned her at a young age.
Which character did Rachel try and kiss while playing spin the bottle?
During the earlier seasons Rachel met an attractive young man while working at her job. He began her client and visited her often to get new clothes, which she loved because that meant she could stare at him all day long and dress him in clothes she fancied. Eventually she mustered up the courage to see him outside of her work environment, but he took it to be that they were friends. Determined to get him to like her, Rachel went to extreme lengths to appear attractive.
What is the name of Rachel’s boss at Ralph Lauren?
As it was said before, Rachel worked very hard to get to her position by the end of the series. She went from clearing tables and pouring coffees to being a highly sophisticated business woman in the fashion industry. During an interview with the company "Ralph Lauren" the man that would soon become her boss gave her a mixed signal and she accidentally kissed him on the cheek at the end of the interview. Although completely embarrassed, she was thrilled to learn that she received the job not because of the kiss but because she earned it.
Which character is missing the tip of his pinky toe?
The story about how this tragic event happened was shared during one of the holiday episodes. After he openly commented on Monica's weight the previous thanksgiving, she worked really hard and became thin and fit, to which this character was pleasantly surprised. But she was determined to make him pay for what she said about him. In the midst of her attempting to seduce him only to make a fool out of him, she accidentally dropped a kitchen knife and it landed right in his shoe.
What is the name of the character who bought Ross salt water taffy?
Ross met this woman at Monica and Chandlers wedding. He impressed her with his charm by dancing with all of the young children at the wedding. Although nothing happened with them that night, they met up again later at the coffee houses and they started a relationship shortly after. She even started hanging around the group, which no one really seemed to mind because she was a nice person. Things unfortunately ended between them after the complications with Ross and Rachel.
Which character proposed to Phoebe in Barbados?
For much of the series Phoebe was most known for her casual approach to dating. She was never interested in anything serious, and most of the time her circle never really met any of the men she dated. Her biggest relationship was with scientist David, although he moved away for a research study and she was left broken hearted. Of course she dated off and on throughout the seasons, but none lasted. Not until she met this character, which happened by accident thanks to Joey.
What is the name of the character who wrote his own comics titled “Science Boy?”
This character is definitely labelled as the "geek" of the show, mostly for his love of science and dinosaurs. He appreciates all things that are logical and have evidence in the world, which is why he stands firmly behind the theory of evolution. Although briefly Phoebe manages to break him and admit that there might be another possibility other than evolution. Nonetheless, he loves anything to do with learning, which is why he was so excited to get the opportunity to teach a college course.
What character picked Monica and Chandler to become the adoptive parents of her children?
As it was mentioned earlier, Monica and Chandler had to deal with a very real situation about not being able to conceive their own child. For months they had been trying and Monica finally decided it would be best if they both went to the doctors to make sure everything was alright. Unfortunately the test results revealed that there was problems with both of them, and it broke Monica's heart. She wanted nothing more than to be a mother. After having discussed their options, the couple decided to adopt.
Which character dated Monica despite being close friends with her father?
Throughout the first few seasons, Monica struggled a lot with dating. She was especially uncomfortable with the fact that her brother was having a child, and she was no where near having a family of her own. However, after an event one night at her parents house, she and a family friend felt some attraction for each other and the two eventually started dating. Things were actually going quite well with them, but when it turned serious he realized he couldn't give Monica what she wanted, and they broke things off.
