Although Seinfeld was released a few years earlier than the sitcom, Friends, it's remarkable how much the two shows have in common. With the height of their fame in the 1990s, it's interesting to see some of the different situations these characters found themselves in because of the times. From George Costanza using a payphone to call Jerry to the fashion choices Rachel and Monica made in Friends, these are definitely two sitcoms that let the audience know the era almost immediately within watching an episode.
While everyone seems to have their favorite characters within these two casts, it's comical to see that Cosmo Kramer and Joey Tribbiani had so much in common. Both of them were dreamers in how they were trying to go about succeeding in their professional careers and they both relied heavily on their friends. From Chandler having to help out with Joey's portion of the rent on more than one occasion to Kramer constantly eating all of Jerry's food, there's no doubt that these two characters would have probably become the best of friends if they were on the same show. Both of these shows became hugely successful and people are still falling in love with the characters, even after all of these years. Reruns for both of the shows continue to play on various television channels and they are both seen as two of the best sitcoms of all time. While you may think you know everything there is to know about these two characters, test your knowledge on whether or not you can tell if it was Joey Tribbiani or Cosmo Kramer that gave these infamous quotes.

Both Joey Tribbiani and Cosmo Kramer were famous for how well they were with the ladies. It seemed like both of them had a certain knack for garnering female attention and neither one of them ever really had issues finding someone to warm their beds. Yet, they each had a distinct crutch that they felt would help them in getting women's attention. From a specific jacket to a catchy pickup line, both of them seemed to have mastered their own technique in picking up women. They were both pretty comical in their methods but it didn't seem to hurt their chances with the ladies.

There were intelligent people on both Seinfeld and Friends but Cosmo Kramer and Joey Tribbiani weren't exactly the brightest crayons in the box. Yet, neither one of them ever really seemed to notice their shortcomings. In fact, they were often quite adamant about what they thought they were knowledgeable about. A great example was an early episode of Seinfeld when Kramer was adamant about Jerry's mom playing a word in scrabble that was obviously not a word. Even after they looked it up in the dictionary, he was still quite sure that it really was a word. He suggested that they look in a medical dictionary rather than concede that he was mistaken. This particular quote was when there was a mistake about a "moot point." Was it Joey Tribbiani or Cosmo Kramer that said this famous quote?

While Friends and Seinfeld both had moments that were purposefully hilarious, neither of these sitcoms relied solely on the characters trying desperately to say something funny. In fact, some of the funniest moments in both of these shows was when the characters delivered a line with a stone-cold precision without cracking up laughing as they said it. This particular quote was taken when some of the characters in the series visited a local gym. It was rare to see them in this type of environment but it made for a great episode with a myriad of ultra-hilarious moments. Yet, this particular quote wasn't extremely funny in regard to the line but it was funny in the circumstance. Was it Joey Tribbiani or Cosmo Kramer that said this famous quote?

While neither Joey Tribbiani or Cosmo Kramer were known for their intelligence, oftentimes their real dilemma was because of their gullibility. They both had a very optimistic point of view about the world. This was the type of character that was needed for someone that was aspiring to be a famous actor and someone trying to skate through life without real, attainable goals. This particular quote was taken during an episode where some of the characters in the cast were starting to talk about a New Year's Eve party for the millennium. While discussing an upcoming party, there was a hilarious quote that stated, "You think people will still be using napkins in the year 2000? Or is this mouth vacuum thing for real?"

Both Cosmo Kramer and Joey Tribbiani had a propensity towards food. Kramer was constantly obsessed with new foods, whether it was with the Soup Nazi or the idea to make your own pizza pie. Joey famously didn't share food and was quick to break up with someone for something as simple as stealing a French fry off of his plate. Yet, that didn't mean that they were extremely picky about the foods that they ate. Kramer was particularly adamant about getting fruit from Joe's in order to ensure the best mangoes and cantaloupe but that didn't stop him from constantly raiding Jerry's fridge without complaint. This quote was taken when everyone else seemed to hate a recipe that was mistakenly done wrong. Was it Joey Tribbiani or Cosmo Kramer that said this famous quote?

With both Joey Tribbiani and Cosmo Kramer being incredibly ferocious when it came to picking up ladies, it shouldn't surprise people that both of these characters had a high threshold when it came to appreciating a beautiful woman. Joey was infamous for loving supermodels and he was often surrounded by beautiful women due to his brief position as a soap opera actor. Kramer was also pretty scrutinizing when it came to beautiful women and he even once told someone that they would be just as pretty as all the other beautiful women in New York if she would just get a nose job. This particular quote was when there was someone that had a very distinct mole that needed to be inspected. Was it Joey Tribbiani or Cosmo Kramer that said this famous quote?

Joey once interrupted Chandler and Rachel while they ate a cheesecake that had fallen onto the floor and his immediate action was to see if he could join in. The quote, "Well, the fridge broke, so I had to eat everything," is something that either one of these characters would have undoubtedly said at least once in their perspective series.

While he did have a multitude of different roles throughout his career, he also had a number of odd jobs. From working at Central Perk to selling cologne at a department store, it seemed like he was always working an odd job in order to pursue his dream of becoming a world-renowned actor. Kramer was another character that always seemed to be bouncing around from one thing to another but he had a few acting roles as well. He worked alongside his friend, Mickey, doing stand-in work and helping medical students in diagnosing diseases. He also had a small role in a Woody Allen film.

Both Joey Tribbiani and Cosmo Kramer were huge lovers of food but there was one particular dish that they particularly favored. With Joey being Italian, it shouldn't surprise people that he was a huge fan of pizza. The gang even knew of the "Joey special," which was ordering two pizzas. Kramer had such a love for pizza that he wanted to open up his own pizza pie restaurant where the customers were able to make their very own pizzas. Yet, there was a bit of a hiccup when he wanted customers to be able to put whatever toppings they wanted on their individual pizzas. This particular quote was taken during a pretty heated exchange.

Who was the one that said, "If I had a kid, I would name him Isosceles."
Neither Joey Tribbiani or Cosmo Kramer were considered the most intelligent friends in their group but that didn't seem to stop them from participating in various conversations or attending certain events. Neither one of them ever had children on their shows, even though both of them seemed capable enough to become a father. There was an episode where Kramer began to wonder why he "never slipped one past the goalie," and there was a hint at little something when his girlfriend became late. Yet, nothing ever came about with a storyline regarding either one of them becoming a father. It would be interesting to see what either one of them would name their first child, even though one of the characters seemed to already have figured out an appropriate name. Who was the one that said, "If I had a kid, I would name him Isosceles."

Both Joey Tribbiani and Cosmo Kramer have a bit of a prankster in them when it comes to partaking in over-the-top jokes. Joey once tried to get back at Chandler for sitting in the chair he had already claimed and he repaid him by putting on every stitch of clothing Chandler owned. Joey also partook in the entire gang making a stick apparatus to poke "Ugly naked man" to make sure that he was still alive. Kramer was also a fan of getting into a bit of mischief and he's often dropped a few items from out of Jerry's window. This is actually quite dangerous when you think about both of these characters living in apartments at a decent height. Was it Joey or Kramer that said this famous quote?
Was it Joey Tribbiani or Cosmo Kramer that made this quote where they referenced the pizza delivery man being their friend?
With both Joey Tribbiani and Cosmo Kramer being huge fans of pizza, it's a little tricky to know which one of these characters made this infamous quote. Kramer has a reputation for befriending a variety of different people from all walks of life. From Jerry to Newman, it seemed like everyone that met Kramer became his friend. He was also often very friendly with restaurant owners, from the Soup Nazi to Poppie. Yet, Joey was the type of character that was extremely emotionally invested in his food.

Joey was called upon to take care of Ben, Emma and Phoebe's children on occasion. Kramer worked with children when he was a stand-in actor and he also babysat on occasion. Both of them had a distinct way about them when it came to how they interacted with children. Neither one of them were going to win a medal for the best role model figure on their show but that didn't mean that they weren't compassionate and loving towards children.

One of the biggest criticisms the Friends series has had was the fact that it started out with a group of people that lived in one of the most expensive cities in America, even though they didn't really ever go to work. It looked like they just hung out in their apartment or the coffee shop all day, which wasn't exactly in line with reality. Yet, the same can be said about Seinfeld since Jerry only works when he's off on location or practicing his material at a local comedy club. Kramer is the biggest slacker of them all since he never seems to be able to hold down a steady job.

Kramer didn't exactly get a recurring role on a daytime soap opera the way Joey did but he had a few moments that allowed him to think that he could truly act. From his one liner in the Woody Allen film to his stand-in work, he thought that he was more than qualified to act as himself in Jerry's pilot for NBC. Besides their own experiences acting, they also had quite a few opinions about their competition and understudies. Joey once had a relationship with his costar while acting in a play and the understudy was also throwing herself at him. Kramer had a few opinions about understudies as well.

Yet, besides their social quirks, they were seen as lovable and caring friends to the members of their group. This particular quote is a little tricky because both of them had storylines in their shows, concerning their underwear.

Even though both Friends and Seinfeld were seen as light sitcoms, there were times when both of the shows dealt with hard-hitting issues. Phoebe acted as a surrogate for her brother and his wife, Monica and Chandler had difficulty getting pregnant, and Chandler's father transitioned to become a woman. Seinfeld also dealt with some serious issues but they also managed to make it humorous. From George having coworkers with mental illness to Mickey being discriminated against as a little person, Seinfeld often showed real-world issues but turned it into something that the audience could laugh along with. However, the quote, "Never hit a woman" wasn't part of a serious dialogue. This was something humorous to convey how angry this character was at the time.

One of the most appealing attributes of both Joey Tribbiani and Cosmo Kramer is their childlike personality. Joey still slept with a stuffed animal he named, "Hugsy, my bedtime penguin pal" and he didn't like sharing his toy with Rachel's new baby. Kramer had a childlike attitude about responsibility as an adult and basically just coasted through life chasing one over-the-top dream after the next. In one particular situation, the characters from a show went to go see a tennis match and there was a fascination over the ball boys that would run and get the balls out of play.

Was it Joey Tribbiani or Cosmo Kramer that got an acting job to pretend to have gonorrhea?
When it comes to acting jobs, there are definitely some that are more glamorous than others.
