Can You Remember The First Season Of FRIENDS?

From the word go Friends stormed the nation. We all fell in love with this show and all the characters in it. Chandler, Joey, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, and Monica are hysterical to watch because each of them is so relatable- it's pretty much relatable to every demographic! So it's not surprising we can't get enough of the reruns even though it first aired almost 15 years ago!

Now that NetFlix has uploaded the show we can't stop binge-watching it! So there really isn't any excuse for a 'true Friends fan' not to know all the ins and outs of the first season!

So we thought it would be fun to put this quiz together to test how well you know season one of Friends!

Warning! This test is only for the Friends fans who know their stuff! We'll be covering everything from ex-partners to funniest moments, to trivia- so without further ado let's dive into this quiz! I personally can't wait to get going!

Question 1

Why did this Friends character bail on her wedding?

It's not every day you see a woman in her twenties storm into a coffee shop in a meringue-style wedding dress and a full-on veil. So, it's pretty clear that this Friends character has just bailed on her wedding. Or perhaps she's just taken trying on a wedding dress to the next level!? Can you remember why this character left her fiance at the altar? Was it because he cheated? Was it because he was living a secret life? Or was it because she realised she didn't love him?

Question 2

What was the name of Rachel's Fiance?

Can anyone remember the name of Rachel's fiance? (This is the guy in the picture, lying with her in the dentist's chair). Here are a few pieces of trivia about this mystery man. Firstly, Rachel said he resembles 'Mr. Potato Head'. However, more importantly, while he and Rachel were engaged he was having an affair with her maid of honor. Then once Rachel bailed, he decided to go on the honeymoon he and Rachel had booked with the said maid of honor!

Question 3

What did Phoebe find floating in her can of soda?

Can you remember what Pheobe found floating in her can of soda? We'll give you a hint- it's pretty darn gross! There are some pretty standard yet disgusting things you may find floating around in your soda. These might include a stray fly, a stray hair, or perhaps a piece of food you've accidentally dropped in your drink. However, you never expect to pop open a can of soda and find a body part floating around in there! What body part was it?

Question 4

Which Friends character struggles with smoking?

During season one of the Friends, we find out that one of the characters has an on again off again relationship with smoking. This is something that continues to resurface throughout the rest of the franchise and often upsets the other Friends. Can you remember which Friend this was? DISCLAIMER: there is only one answer, we're looking for the character who is notorious for smoking, not a Friend who's dabbled with it. Was is Pheobe, Joey, Monica, Ross, Rachel, or Chandler?

Question 5

Which broadcaster do the girls spy on from across the street?

Can you remember the name of the broadcaster the girl's spy on from across the street? If not (we won't judge you too harshly because he was never actually shown in the episode!), here are a few hints that might jog your memory. He's a political advisor as well as an American broadcaster. The girl's accidentally get his pizza, instead of the one they ordered. This is when they spot him in the opposite building enjoying a romantic evening with a woman.

Question 6

Why did Ross go to the emergency room?

In episode four of season one, Ross has to go the emergency room- but can you remember why? We'll set the scene for you. The guys head out to watch a hockey game. Meanwhile, Ross keeps seeing things that remind him of his ex-wife (mush to both Joey and Chandler's annoyance). As the game goes on Ross begins to forget his troubles and roots enthusiastically for the Rangers. It's at this point Ross gets injured and has to leave- what happened to him?

Question 7

What are these friends characters looking for?

This picture shows these friends characters staring intently into a beautiful looking lasagna- what are they looking for? Hint: it was Rachel who lost something in there. Understandably, Monica struggled to destroy her work of art. So, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe stepped up to the plate (pardon the pun) and ate their way through the lasagne to find what Rachel lost. It's Phoebe who finds the missing item. So naturally, Joey polishes off the lasagne himself (however, I can't say I blame him- it looked amazing!)

Question 8

Who's the woman in the picture, and which Friend did she date in season one?

Do you recognize this fabulous face- for me she's one of the best characters in Friends, she's hysterical! Do you remember her name and the Friend she dated in season one? Here are a few pieces of trivia about this recurring character. Primarily, she's famous for her nasally sounding voice and her catchphrase exclamation of "OH MY GOD!" This character is excellently portrayed by Maggie Wheeler. Who interestingly, initially auditioned for the role of Monica but was then given this character instead.

Question 9

Why did Rachel kiss Ross in this picture?

Do you remember how thrilled you felt when you first saw Ross and Rachel kiss in this episode? However, can you remember why she did this?

Rachel's confident about doing her laundry until a woman moves Rachel's laundry basket that was reserving her washing machine and starts using it for herself. Ross then stands up to the woman and gets Rachel's machine back, Remember yet?

Question 10

Who did Joey meet at this performance?

All of the Friends come and watch a musical called Freud! That Joey's starring in. Naturally, the musical was tragic. Regardless of that, he met someone here who has a massive influence on his career (for good and for bad). What was the name of this fabulous character? Hint- they're pretty bad at their job, and they love to smoke! Plus, they once believed that Joey was trying to ruin their career so started bad mouthing him to people in the industry!

Question 11

What's the name of the model Chandler gets stuck in an ATM with?

During the episode, "The One With The Blackout", Chandler gets stuck in an ATM with a Victoria Secrets Model, Can you remember her name? This episode is probably most famous for Chandler responding to the model's offer of gum by initially turning it down, waiting a while and then declaring 'on second thoughts, gum would be perfection'. He instantly realises how dorky he sounds and mentally scolds himself for that, he finished by stating 'I loathe myself'. This scene never fails to crack me up!

Question 12

What interrupts this romantic moment?

How many times do they believe Nana to of passed? Was it twice, three, four, or five times?

Question 14

What does Ross do at his Nana's funeral?

Let's face it the picture pretty much gives this one away- we wanted to make sure there were a couple of easy questions in here! As Ross is talking and walking with the rest of the Friends, he gets caught up while admiring the beautiful weather, and then something happens. Can you remember what Ross did? Did Ross accidentally, walk into a tree, walk into a lamppost, fall into an open grave, or fall into a pond leaving him soaking wet?

Question 15

What do the friends eat for Thanksgiving in episode 9?

The Friends all rushed out to go and see the fly away Underdog balloon, and due to confusion over who had the keys to the apartment, the turkey got burnt and subsequently all the food Monica worked so hard to prepare got ruined.

Do you remember the name of this mystery man who Monica dated (on and off) during season one? Here are a few pieces of trivia about this character.
