That 70’s Show is still in syndication today, and it seems that the nostalgic, smoke-filled program will continue to live on and entertain people of all generations. Few sitcoms with young kids are able to boast such clever and timely humor on such a consistent basis, but That 70’s Show always manages to hit the mark. The show is also able to pull off big laughs with limited set pieces, as most episodes just take place in Eric Forman’s basement, The Hub (a local restaurant), and their high school.
The show also has an impressive cast, and many of the actors in the show actually got famous because of their involvement in the program. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are probably the two biggest stars from the show, but Topher Grace has gone on to do some high profile films, (Spiderman 3, Interstellar), and Laura Prepon is the star of a hit Netflix series, (Orange is the New Black). All of these incredible comedic actors helped to ensure that That 70’s Show would be a massive hit both critically and financially. So test your knowledge of everything Point Place, Wisconsin and see if you can name all of these That 70’s Show characters.
Who Is This Star Wars Loving Guy Next Door?
The lead of the show, this character has a certain affinity for everything Star Wars, his redhead best friend next door, and smoking (a lot). He’s certainly the quietest and most soft spoken of the group, but he also might be the wittiest. And according to his father, he’s both a smartass and a dumbass at the same time (which is pretty incredible if you think about it). There are few people in Wisconsin that can match his knowledge of Star Wars.
Who Is This Delinquent Of The Group?
This government despising anarchist didn’t exactly have the healthiest of the greatest childhood, but he’s responsible and deceptively caring despite all that. He does have trust issues, namely for The Man, but that doesn’t stop him from having a ton of fun. He also has a very specific dream of being able to drive a car that runs completely on water. He’s had several fathers throughout the series, he had one true love, and he eventually went on to run his own record store.
Who Is This Suave Foreigner?
This candy addicted teen is always trying to satisfy his “needs” and will stop at nothing until he finds someone that will help him in this search. He’s usually on the receiving end of most of the group’s worst pranks, and they’re always tricking him into doing crazy things due to the language barrier that exists between him and the kids of Point Place. He does eventually end up with the love of his life, Jackie, and he works as a stylist at a local salon.
Can You Name The Angry Uptight Dad?
This man certainly takes the cake when it comes to dads that are difficult to live with. He’s always belittling his son and referring to him as a, “dumbass,” and he never takes a vacation from being angry. When he’s not torturing his son and his son’s friends, he’s usually watching the Packers, or working diligently to make sure that his family is taken care of. At the end of the day, he’s a good husband and father whose primary concern is that his family is cared for and content. But that doesn’t stop him from flying off the handle every once in a while.
Can You Name The Caring Mother?
The matriarch of the show, this incredibly caring woman is the heart and soul of the show at times, and she’s absolutely hilarious. She (like the previous character on this quiz) is primarily concerned with making sure her family is healthy (and especially well-fed) and that her much-beloved house is still standing at the end of the day. And making sure her son and his friends don’t burn her house down is definitely a full-time job (especially with the amount of lighters they use daily).
Can You Name The Elder Stoner?
When this guy can actually find the gang, (who are always in Eric’s basement) he’s generally pretty baked and confused. The actor that portrays this character is part of a famous comedy duo, and he shows his comedic chops as well as his wonderful timing almost every time he appears on screen. He ends up giving Hyde and Fez jobs at his Photo Hut, and afterwards he can be seen wandering around Hyde’s record store, Grooves. He’s always willing to lend a hand or a lighter to his friends.
Who Is The Prankster Of The Group?
This dimwitted chaotic character is without-a-doubt the funniest part of That 70’s Show, and he always manages to liven up an episode. He’s always concerned with either dating and fighting with Jackie, or with attempting to date every other beautiful girl in Point Place, and he’s usually successful in his efforts. And he may not be the smartest man in Wisconsin, but he always manages to have a ton of fun with his friends, and even manages to keep himself entertained most of the time.
Can You Name The Noisy Neighbor?
This character is one of the greatest neighbors in sitcom history, and he’s the perfect counterpoint to Red’s serious and angry persona. This character also just so happens to be the father of Eric’s true love and girl next door, Donna. He’s always the first one to reach for food at the Forman’s house, and he tells the greatest Dad jokes in all of Point Place. And he can always cheer up anyone who visits him with his signature catchphrase, “hey there, hi there, ho there.”
Who Is The Wonderful Girl Next Door?
The emotional lynchpin for the entirety of That 70’s Show is the romance between Eric and this character, who happens to be his one true love. Even though these two characters constantly bicker and even break up for a few periods of time, they are the definition of soul mates, and they even end up together in the end. And this character manages to thrive, even when she’s on her own. She’s the strongest person in the entire program, and she always manages to keep her head on straight (unless she’s dating the eldest Kelso brother).
Who Is The Bratty Cheerleader?
This character is definitely the most self-centered and shallow person in That 70’s Show, and she would actually be proud to admit that. This self-possessed cheerleader always tries to boss around the members of the gang, but she can usually only manipulate Kelso into doing what she wants done. She actually ends up dating three of the four guys in the group, and eventually gets together with Fez, which turns out to be one of the best relationships in the show.
Can You Name Eric's Crazy Sister?
Eric’s sister is one of the craziest characters in the whole show, and she’s pretty popular in Point Place (especially with some of the gentleman). Her greatest appearances in the show revolve around her messing with her little brother, and she almost always gets the upper hand with him. There are few sisters in sitcom history that can be as cruel or unwavering as this character towards their brothers. She also just so happens to be one of the wittiest characters on the show.
Can You Name This Dense And Trustworthy Mother?
The hilarious mother-next-door is one of the sweetest and most caring characters in the show, and her interactions with Bob and the Forman’s are absolutely hysterical. She’s always a great mother to Donna, and even when she ends up leaving the show for a short period of time, her presence and cheerful attitude can still be felt while she’s gone. And there are few episodes of That 70’s Show that can match the Alfred Hitchcock homage episode, and this character is a prominent part of that.
Can You Name Eric's Replacement?
Eric’s replacement in the latter part of That 70’s Show is funny, cool, and a lot more collected than Eric ever was. He’s also less obsessed with science fiction, but he shares Eric’s love of a specific red headed neighbor girl. He ends up working for Hyde at Grooves Records, and he slowly, but surely wins Donna’s affection by being kind, supportive, and by listening to her problems (namely Eric and her mother leaving). Things don’t end up working out for them in the end though, because Donna’s heart still belongs to Eric.
Who Is This Meddlesome, Charming Brother?
This character is the second Kelso to appear on this quiz (and that’s far too many Kelsos). He’s much more suave than his brother, Michael, but he’s also pretty heartless at the same time. He’s terrible to the women he dates, (namely Donna) and he’s just so happens to be the object of Mrs. Forman’s affection. He started dating Donna shortly after her breakup with Eric, and he treated her so poorly that Eric even had to threaten to beat him up if he ever hurt Donna. Luckily, Donna ended up suffering from a pretty bad breakup with this character, which allowed Eric to win her back.
Who Is This Insanely Popular Girl At School?
This girl is a reoccurring character in the show, but she’s generally shown in a pretty unflattering way. She’s not a very well-rounded character, and her basic personality traits are that she’s dull, dumb, but ridiculously attractive (which is what draws Kelso to her). Kelso constantly talks about this character, especially when he’s mentioning his sexual escapades, and this character can even be seen in the alternate future episode of the show, where she’s dating Kelso (and he cheats on her with Jackie).
Who Is This Big And Wonderful Character?
This character was a big part of the show for quite a while, when she was dating Fez. She was a breath of fresh air in the group, because she added a completely new dynamic to the gang. She was always ready to fight (even the guys) and she always had a big appetite. While she was dating Fez, the other girls in the group even tried to give her a makeover to impress Fez on their first official date, but Fez preferred her when she was acting like one of the guys.
Who Is This Hilarious Man Of God?
This character is certainly one of the funniest on the show, but it’s usually because he gets himself into some hilarious situations. He’s also a big part of some of the best episodes of the series, from the one where he and Red become best friends, to the Christmas pageant that Eric tries to direct. He’s also unwavering when it comes to his love for God, and some of his lines are iconic in the span of the program. “There’s a much better drug than LSD or PCP, I get high on G-O-D” is without-a-doubt one of the best lines in the show.
What Is Jackie’s Mom’s Name?
Jackie’s mom is just like Jackie in the beginning of the program, she’s incredibly shallow, conceited, and terrible to everyone around her. She ends up seeing Donna’s dad, Bob, after Midge leaves the picture, and the two of them even end up fighting for his affection. She’s only shown in a handful of episodes throughout the show, but she’s mentioned frequently before and after. She does make a big impact in the few episodes she appears in though, and she livens up the program even further.
Who Is Fez’s Mortal Enemy?
This character pops up frequently throughout the show, and he’s generally giving the male members of the group a hard time when he does. He ends up confusing Eric’s ring situation, and calling his home to tell Mrs. Forman that a ring was available for her. Of course Eric’s mom ends up going down to the store, expecting the ring to be from Red, but finds out that Eric is planning to propose to Donna instead. He also hates our favorite foreigner, Fez, and he attempts to torment him whenever he gets the chance.
Can You Identify Steven’s Mother’s Name?
Hyde’s mother isn’t the most caring or attentive maternal figure in the show, but she does seem to care for Steven immensely (at least in the beginning). She’s mentioned only a handful of times throughout the show, and it’s generally just her screaming at Hyde as he’s leaving the house to go out. She’s only seen in one episode, and in it she’s the school chef for the boy’s school. Shortly after this appearance, and following her screaming bouts with her son, she ends up leaving Steven all alone, abandoning her only son.
Can You Name Red’s Lazy Co-worker?
This character appears in another outright hilarious episode of the show, and it’s shortly after Eric scores a job working at Price Mart, under the management of his own father. At first, this circumstance seems like it’s going to spell trouble for Eric, but he soon finds out that a co-worker of his is the clumsiest, laziest, and most disrespectful employee in grocery store history. Eric uses this to his advantage, and his father ends up complimenting Eric (the best he can) by insulting this character constantly while comparing him to his son.
Can You Name Fez’s Crazy Ex-Lover?
This character appears rather frequently throughout the show, and she’s always either dating Fez, or attempting to win his affection again. She was actually mentally unstable throughout the show, and had some severe anger management problems that she never seemed to actually resolve. After her short absence from the show, she eventually returned, claiming that she had some electroshock therapy done (which is surprisingly dark for such a lighthearted sitcom). Everyone in the group was absolutely terrified of this character, and it was the one person they were cautious about making fun of.
What Is Mrs. Forman’s Mother’s Name
This character is portrayed by the always hilarious Betty White, and she manages to torture both her husband and her daughter to no end. She’s notorious for screaming at her husband whenever he pretends to ignore or brush her off. One of the best moments in the first episode she’s in is when Donna ends up yelling at Eric to get him to do what she wants, and this character tells her that yelling will get her no where (after yelling at her husband for the entire episode).
Can You Name Steven’s Half-Sister?
Steven’s half-sister is introduced in the latter part of the series, right after Steven is introduced to his biological father, WB. She is smart, and a little entitled, and she even ends up dating Kelso for a little while, which obviously Kelso manages to run in Hyde’s face with every opportunity he gets. But eventually they break up, and she serves as the co-manager of the Grooves record store with Hyde, until she eventually moves on to manage a series of stores for her father.
Who Is This Conceited Talk Show Host?
This character is portrayed by quite possibly the most well known actress in the entirety of That 70’s Show. She’s introduced towards the end of the series, and she hosts her own talk show, What’s Up, Wisconsin? Jackie idolizes this character, and even ends up working for her for a short while, which turns out to be quite the nightmare. But this popular actress of stage and screen manages to liven up every scene she’s in with her trademark snarky attitude and wit.
