Unless you've been hiding under a rock you've probably watched (or at least heard of) Stranger Things, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Pretty Little Liars, Westworld, The Office, Archer, Arrested Development, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, and Parks and Rec among many others. First of all, lucky you—not everyone has HBO, cable, and a Netflix subscription. If you're anything like me then you're still using your ex-best friend's or ex-boyfriend's HBO login credentials or Netflix username and password. And if you're a lot like me, then you don't feel bad whatsoever for still mooching off them, especially if the relationship ended in flames.
Think you're a pop TV nutcase/guru/expert? Do you often impersonate Walter or Jesse from Breaking Bad in front of your friends at parties? Can you recite lines from Sons of Anarchy like it's nobody's business? Have you found yourself absentmindedly humming the opening to Game of Thrones while driving to work or showering in the morning? Then you're a perfect candidate for this pop TV trivia quiz! So, sit back—relax (uncork a bottle of wine or something)—and show off just how much you remember from watching your favorite TV shows.
Name this secondary character from Stranger Things!
This question is regarding the man on the right. On the left is his wife: Karen. He is father of Nancy, Holly, and Mike. He poses as the stereotypical father of that era, oblivious and unaware of what's going on around him. He's not in that many episodes so don't feel too bad if you miss this one. Here's another hint: his last name is Wheeler. Can you guess who I am referring to?
Match this scene to its TV Show!
Get this! For four years after this TV show ended in 2013, fans of the show kept throwing pizza on the roof of this Albuquerque home. Even the show's creator, Vince Gilligan, has come to the defence of the homeowners and kindly asked fans to stop throwing pizza on the roof. It was probably funny to the homeowners at first, but since it has been going on for years, I'm sure they are pretty sick of it.
What TV show does this living room belong to?
This show has about 11 seasons so far. This TV show charms its viewers by depicting the typical girl next door type, with the geeky and socially awkward characters. There are many jokes made at the expense of three of the show's main characters. Oh yeah, and this show has a laugh track, too, which is can be quite annoying. To some it just blends in with the show, but to others it feels like forced laughter. On the upside, it has a super catchy intro song!
Who does Leslie Knope end up marrying on Parks and Rec?
Parks and Rec lasted for about seven seasons. It stars Leslie Knope, an optimistic and enthusiastic mid-level bureaucrat. After the first episode, the TV show's writers had to redo Leslie Knope's character because people thought she was too naive and ditsy. Nevertheless, she is constantly trying to impress save her hometown, Pawnee, and she keeps a portrait of Hillary Clinton on her desk right when you walk in the door because she is a huge fan of her. She ultimately finds her perfect match. Who is he?
Who is this guy from Game of Thrones?
Remember the red wedding? Well, this guy was a conspirator in the red wedding, and in return, he was named Warden of the North by the Lannisters. Before Robert's Rebellion, he was traveling along Weeping Water when he spotted a pretty, young miller's wife whom he wanted for himself. So, he hangs the man and then has his way with the wife. Months later, the woman comes back with a newborn claiming that it belongs to him. Once he realizes that it is, in fact, his son, he gives money to the woman to raise the baby.
Name this villain from The Walking Dead!
For awhile, this character was the hero keeping everyone safe in Atlanta. He is known for his brutality and cunning. However, as the series went on, he became the series deuteragonist, especially in season two. Although he was best friends with Rick, he envied a lot of what he had (especially his wife Lori). He evens goes as far as considering himself a better father than Rick. Apparently you can't trust anyone during dystopian times, even the people you grew up with. Sigh...
Who said it: "I AM THE ONE KNOCKS!"
"Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears! It ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger! A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!"
Name this character from Pretty Little Liars!
She is one of the four protagonists in this TV series. She is known as the quirky, artistic girl who loves knitting and writing. She's the "hipster" of the group. She gets criticized by her classmates for starting a romance with an older man. That wouldn't be as scandalous if he weren't also her English teacher. She is played by the actress, Lucy Hale, who is about 28 years old and was born in Memphis, Tennessee.
Name this character from The Office!
Just about every girl I knew had a crush on John Krasinski's character. He was funny, sarcastic, and smart and did the best pranks! In the TV show, he has his audience practically drooling over the budding relationship with Pam Beesly. Together they made fun of their co-workers, the Regional Manager Michael Scott and the Assistant to the Regional Manager Dwight Schrute, with innocuous little shenanigans. Can you guess which character from The Office I am thinking of?
Name this character from GIlmore Girls!
There have been many romances throughout the Gilmore Girls. Lorelai meets this guy at the age of six and they dated in their teens years. When Lorelai turns 16 she finds out she is pregnant with this man's kid. However, he is not ready to settle down and refuses to take responsibility for his life. It is only after he gets a steady job and replaces his motorcycle with a Volvo, that Lorelai tries to become his girlfriend again. Can you name him?
Match this scene to its TV show!
This TV show follows a close-knit, outlaw motorcycle group in a fictionalized town in Death Valley, California. It's main themes are brotherhood, redemption, and loyalty. If you don't have cable TV then you might not get this one right since it only aired on the channel FX. The motorcycle gang is used as a simile for human development. If you paid close attention to the series then you will undoubtedly have noticed this as well. So which of the following TV series does this show belong to?
Match this scene with its TV show!
This Netflix show starts off with the scientists in Hawkins Laboratory accidentally opening up an inter-dimensional gateway between our world and the world of the Upside Down. No one said anything and since then an organic monster created an underground tunnel system under the city of Hawkins in Indiana. All of this goes on (unmentioned) until a boy, named Mike, turns up missing. The image you see is the way his mother communicates with him. It's akin to an ouija board.
Match this quote with its Breaking Bad character!
"Ah, like I came to you, begging to cook meth. Oh, hey, nerdiest old dude I know, you wanna come cook crystal? Please. I’d ask my diaper-wearing granny, but her wheelchair wouldn’t fit in the RV." This question is super easy if you have at least watched a few episodes. The quotes are iconic for each character. So, who said this?
Name this character from Arrested Development!
He is a licensed psycho-analyst and therapist, but unfortunately, he lost both of those licenses after accidentally harming a man during CPR. Ever since, he has tried to get work as an actor. He also has this weird undertone that makes almost everything he says borderline sexual. He doesn't know this, though. He also has a strange disorder that prevents him from getting naked even in solitude.
Name this character from Game of Thrones!
She is known as the Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, and Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea. But do you know her real name? She is one of the few recurring characters that hasn't died yet, which is really saying something if you have watched this show in its entirety. Finally, women today have a kick-butt heroine to look up to, at least ever since Xena: the Princess Warrior.
Who does Ross end up with on Friends?
This question should be a gimmie, too. Ross works as a scientist in the show. His sister is Monica Geller who used to be (by the looks of it) morbidly obese. Since her teenage years she has dropped the baby fat, and now works as a chef. Ross and his sister live in New York, along with their best friends Chandler Bing, Phoebe Buffay, Joey Tribbianni, and Rachel Green. They frequently meet up at their local coffee shop, as well as live in the same apartment building.
Name this character from Seinfeld!
This guy is quite the crazy character. He has trouble holding a steady job, but always seems to have money. He is known for his loud entrances, for having very little sense of personal space and for being a womanizer. On one side he seems gullible and naive while on the other side he can come off as well-read and intelligent. In the show he is known only by his first name and one episode covers how odd his first name is. Who do you think this character is on Seinfeld?
Match this quote to its character in Orange is the New Black!
So, who said the following quote: "Hey, did you ever see that one movie? The one where there’s this cowboy and he’s like the king of the castle and then this astronaut shows up and he tries to take over and so the cowboy attempts to murder him. But instead, the astronaut is taken hostage by this evil psychopath and the cowboy has to rescue him and then they end up becoming really good friends." I'll give you a hint: it wasn't Piper Chapman!
Who is Hannah Baker's unrequited love in 13 Reasons Why?
Suicide is the second most common cause of death for people ages 15 to 24. 13 Reason's Why is a show about a young girl, Hannah Baker, who through many struggles, ultimately decides to take her own life. Making a commentary on the reasoning behind suicide, the show follows 13 tapes, sent to 13 different people, explaining why Hannah ended her life, and the events that led up to it. Through these different perspectives we see how those around her were affected. One perspective, in particular sticks out, that of a boy who feels guilty for never having helped her. Who is he?
Which character from 13 Reasons Why wrote the following poem?
"I meet your eyes you don't even see me You hardly respond when I whisper hello Could be my soul mate two kindred spirits Maybe we're not I guess we'll never know My own mother you carried me in you Now you see nothing but what I wear People ask you how I'm doing You smile and nod don't let it end there Put me underneath God's sky and know me don't just see me with your eyes Take away this mask of flesh and bone and See me for my soul alone”
Name this character from Grey's Anatomy!
This cutie patootie is one of the doctors in the hit ABC series called Grey's Anatomy. And he's super smart, too. He was able to take the MCATs (which is the test people take to get into medical school) without his parents knowing and aced it. He was inspired to be a surgeon by his family members. He has always motivated himself to work hard at work and in school rather than his parents pressing him. Do you know who this is?
Name this character from Mad Men!
She didn't become a central character in this hit TV show until later on in the series. She is the beautiful daughter of Don Draper and Betty Hofstadt. She has a particularly close relationship with her brother Bobby. She is a pretty wild child having smoked cigarettes and learned how to drive by her grandpa. She isn't that fond of her mother for whatever reason. She much more prefers her father over her own mother. What is this actress's name?
Name this character from The Office!
He is arguably the funniest guy on this hit TV series. He is smart, gullible, loyal to his company (and Michael Scott), and very very particular. All the other characters in this show seem to know exactly how to pick on him and grind his gears especially Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly. He is the "Assistant to the Regional Manager" or "Assistant Regional Manager" depending on who you are talking to. Can you name this popular character from The Office?
Match this scene to its TV show!
This question should be stupidly easy unless you haven't been keeping up with your pop TV shows. This hit show originally started as a comic book in 2003. It wasn't adapted to a live action TV series until the 2010s. Originally it was about a Kentucky deputy who was shot while in the line of duty and later wakes up to find himself in the midst of a deadly zombie apocalypse and in a state-wide quarantine. Talk about a nightmare! So, which show does this belong to?
Match this quote to its character on Friends!
Who said the following quote? "It’s a trifle. It’s got all of these layers. First there’s a layer of ladyfingers, then a layer of jam, then custard, which I made from scratch, then raspberries, more ladyfingers, then beef sauteed with peas and onions, then a little more custard, and then bananas, and then I just put some whipped cream on top!" Here is an additional hint to help you out: it was not Monica Gellar or Gunther, the coffee barista
