Only A Total Joey Would Have Trouble Naming These Friends Characters

Even though the show Friends sadly ended in 2004 after 10 hilarious seasons, fans of the show are still dedicated and still rewatch their favorite episodes on Netflix over and over. It's so much fun to rewatch the series, whether it's an episode here and an episode there that are particularly funny or to watch the entire thing and see every single relationship, breakup, baby, and monkey. Even though it's been close to 15 years since the show aired its last ever episode, it's still a super popular show and it's hard to meet anyone these days who hasn't seen it and doesn't have a really strong opinion on Ross and Rachel.

Another thing that any huge fan of Friends will know is that, along with the main six characters, there were a ton of other characters on the show. Even though the show revolved around these six friends, their family and relationships that they had also played a large part in different storylines throughout the course of the 10 seasons that the show aired.
