When it comes to casts on TV shows, you can't beat the characters on FRIENDS- all of them! That's why we've dedicated this quiz to remembering all of the secondary characters on this hysterical show!
If you're the kind of FRIENDS fan that can quote every episode and knows all the weird and wonderful trivia points on the characters, and all of the behind the scenes gossip, then you'll probably smash this quiz out of the park.
WARNING- some of these questions are really hard, do you think you're up for the challenge?!
There's a reason why FRIENDS is still one of the most popular shows in the world. All of the characters are incredibly relatable, funny, and real- and we're not just talking about the main FRIENDS- Phoebe, Rachel, Monica, Ross, Chandler, and Joey! The secondary characters played a massive role in making this show what it is today.
Let's face it, only true FRIENDS fans will get all of these correct. Some of these are tough but don't worry we've put a couple of easier ones in there too. So, what are you waiting for?
Who's this lovely lady?
We thought we'd ease you in gently with this one. It's incredibly hard to forget this woman. However, here are a few hints to help jog your memory. She was Chandler's girlfriend during the earlier seasons of FRIENDS and had a brief encounter with Ross Geller. However, her nasally laugh and her over the top catchphrases would be enough for any man to flee the country, which is precisely what Chandler did when he fled to Yemen! We can't help but think that it would have been easier and cheaper to just tell her the truth?
Who's this man?
Who could forget this man? This character was a laugh a minute (without meaning to be) and had a penchant for being incredibly inappropriate without realizing. Some of his most notable quotes include referring to Emily's father as a "thieving, would-be-speaking-German-if-it-weren't-for-us, cheap little man"- at her rehearsal dinner! Also, here's a fun fact for you- this character appears in all 10 series of FRIENDS! So what's this beloved FRIENDS characters name? Is it Gunther, Jack Geller, Joseph Francis "Joey" Tribbiani, or, Fun Bobby?
What's the name of the guy in the picture?
This secondary character only made one appearance, but boy did he leave a lasting impression! Can you remember the name of the stripper who came to Phoebe's bachelorette party? (played by the incredible Danny DeVito). Hint: he was incredibly sensitive about his looks and was struggling to come to terms with the fact he was aging. He had, therefore, convinced himself that Phoebe would love his performance but in fact, she had the opposite reaction- awkward! What was this guys name?
Who is the woman facing Rachel in the picture?
Can you remember who the outlandish woman is facing Rachel in the picture? If you can't recall her name then maybe these facts will jog your memory. She came into the FRIENDS lives for a short amount of time because she was having boyfriend problems. She also continually gets Rachel and Ross's daughter's name wrong- which is pretty insulting! Plus, she loves sushi (we can deduce this because she mentions this in both the two episodes she features in). So what's her name? Is it; Jill, Amy, Judy, or Ursula?
What's the name of the guy facing Monica in the picture?
Can you remember the name of the guy in the picture (who's facing Monica)? Here are a few hints to help you recall this mystery man's name. He appears fleetingly through seasons one and two. In season two he developed an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and is dedicated to combatting his alcoholism. One of the FRIENDS does their best to get him sober, and succeeds! So, after all of these pieces of trivia, can you remember what his name is? Gunther, Bobby, Mike, or Paul?
Who is the man next to Rachel?
Can you remember the name of the man sitting next to Rachel in the picture? Here Bruce Willis plays this eccentric character for three episodes. Did you know that apparently, Bruce Willis agreed to come on FRIENDS because he made a bet with Matthew Perry, he lost and stared for free! This character's famous for being physically intimidating and definitely scares Ross. No matter how hard Ross tries to impress him, it never seems good enough! So, what's this guy called: Mike, Gunther, Paul, or Bobby?
Can you remember the name of this lovely lady?
Can you remember the name of this lovely lady? She's hysterical! As the picture suggests, she's partial to a smoke...or two!

Some of her clientele included an act with a 'pyramid of dogs' and Al Zebooker. Al's unique talent was eating paper. Out of the following four names, which one sounds correct; Jill, Estelle, Judy, or Amanda?
Can you remember the name of the guy sitting next to Monica?
Can you remember the name of the guy sitting next to Monica? He was such a sweet and kind character. However, he then formed a rather unusual hobby.

It's shortly after that he leaves the lives of the FRIENDS- we wonder what ever happened to him?!
What's the name of the guy next to Rachel?
Can you remember the guy in the picture who's standing next to Rachel, and looks and acts freakishly like Ross? As you can notice from the photo the only physical differences between this mystery man and Ross (apart from his fashion sense and haircut) is that he has a more pronounced chin. Interestingly, his overall sense of style resembles that of 'Fun Bobby' who also appears in the same episode as this character! So which of the following four names sounds right? Reese, Marcel, Russ, or Richard?
