Who Was It: Rachel, Monica, or Phoebe?

2K Shares

A true Friends fanatic like myself will be able to ace any quiz thrown his or her way regarding Ross, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, and Joey, and their quirky lives in New York City. This is because truly obsessed fans (again, like myself) will have seen every episode of every season multiple times because it is so good that you burst out laughing at the exact same jokes you have seen time and time before. There is just something special about the group that is so funny, relatable, and timeless.

Over the course of 10 years, this group of best friends- three guys and three girls- experience the highs and lows of life, everything from marriage, divorce, children, and dating, to the kookier stuff like poking Ugly Naked Guy with a stick through a window and being a surrogate for your brother's triplets and going on your ex-boyfriend's honeymoon. They have done all of this and much, much more.

For now, let's focus on the girls. There is the energetic chef Monica, the ditzy but endearing Rachel, and the lovably weird Phoebe. The show would not be the same without any one of them, as they all bring their own unique humor to it. How well do you know the girls of Friends? It is high time we found out!

Question 1

Who has an identical twin sister?

One of the three leading ladies has an identical twin sister, who even though we do not see in very many episodes, is usually up to no good. She makes porn videos under her sister's name, fails to tell her that their grandmother passed away years ago, doesn't tell her their real age, doesn't show her their mother's suicide note, and even sleeps with her boyfriend, pretending to be her! Although it makes for some good laughs, it is definitely a good twin, bad twin situation.

Question 2

Whose name did Ross say at the altar when he was marrying Emily?

Probably the most embarrassing moment of Ross Geller's life was when he was at the altar to marry his second wife, and instead of saying her name (Emily), said the name of an ex-girlfriend- who was in attendance and still in love with him. Not shockingly, Ross' second marriage did not last long, although they did give it the old college try for awhile. In the end, falling in love with a British woman and heading overseas to marry her all ended up being one big mistake- starting with his saying the wrong girl's name.

Question 3

Who dated Richard?

Everyone loved Richard, the older gentleman with the mustache that dated one of the main three Friends girls. She liked being with him because unlike her guy friends that were her own age, Richard was distinguished and mature. The guys were sometimes jealous of him, though- especially his ability to grow a thick, grown-up mustache. But in the end, things did not last between Richard and his love, because of one major detail that neither were willing to compromise on in their relationship: having children.

Question 4

Who is Gunther in love with?

Gunther is the lovable barista who works at the friends' hangout, Central Perk. Even though he was not supposed to be in so many episodes throughout the series, he was the only one who knew how to work the coffee machines and so he got the gig. Throughout the 10 seasons, he frequently alluded to being in love with one of the girls, even though she never returns his affections, or even really realizes that he has feelings for her, at all. The poor schmuck.

Question 5

Who got stung by a jellyfish?

In one of the earliest seasons, the friends all take a trip to the beach where Phoebe is going to meet her birth mother. Ross' girlfriend Bonnie also tags along, much to Rachel's dismay. But something else happens on this already crazy trip- one of the girls gets stung by a jellyfish while walking in the water on the beach, and the pain is terrible. It is so bad, that the only friends that are with her (Joey and Chandler) have to pee on her, since that is the cure for a jellyfish sting and she could not do it herself. They vow to never speak of the incident again.

Question 6

Who is constantly seeking her parents' approval?

There is one character that spends ten seasons trying to gain the approval of her mother and father. She has never been the so-called "golden child", and has always lived in the shadow of her older sibling. There are several episodes where their preference for their older child is shown through comments, actions, and obvious distaste for their daughter and some of her choices in life, It makes for funny episodes, but you can't help but feel bad for her.

Question 7

Who works in fashion?

Either Rachel, Monica, or Phoebe has a passion for fashion, and is eventually able to make it her career when she gets a job working for Ralph Lauren. She becomes quite the professional after having been a spoiled daddy's girl all her life and living on his credit cards, then cutting them all up to work as a waitress at the Central Perk. But over time, she worked her way up and ultimately found her dream job working in fashion.

Question 8

Who were friends in high school?

Some of the friends' relationships go way back before their days lounging in Monica's apartment and downstairs on the couch at the Central Perk. For example, Ross and Chandler went to college together, and ever since were best friends. Their friendship carried them through to the point in their lives where they added the other four to their group. So which two of the ladies also go back, and even farther than Ross and Chandler? Two of them went as far back as high school!

Question 9

Ross dates the daughter of whose boyfriend?

This question may sound a little odd, since the friends are all around the same age. Throughout the series, all six of the friends are in their mid-twenties to mid-thirties. But there is one point in the show that Ross begins dating one of his students, Elizabeth, who also just so happens to be the daughter of one of Ross' friends' boyfriends. Obviously, like Elizabeth herself, Ross' friend is dating a man much older, and one who definitely does not approve of Ross and Elizabeth's relationship.

Question 10

Who sings "Smelly Cat"?

"Smelly Cat" is a song that, while terrible, will live on in the hearts of Friends fans forever, because it was a part of the show for practically the entire 10 years. In case you were living under a rock that whole time, it goes: "Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you? Smelly cat, smelly cat, it's not your fault!" Like I said, a terrible song, but it is endearing and representative of the show as well as the character who wrote it.

Question 11

Who thinks her cleaning lady is stealing from her?

In one cringe-worthy episode of this neurotic character just being herself, she suspects her new cleaning lady of stealing from her. This is because she thinks she sees the woman wearing her jeans, So she sticks her head between her legs when she is standing on the counter when she is dusting, to try and see the crotch stain she knows is there. Then she suspects she took her bra, but by this point the woman is freaked out and runs out of the apartment- right when her former employer realizes her friend is wearing the bra she thought the cleaning lady stole.

Question 12

Who does not have a brother?

Joey has seven sisters, Ross has one sister, and Chandler is an only child. But what about the girls? Two of them have brothers, but one of them only has sisters. Throughout the series, the friends' extended family members with all their quirks provided plenty of material for laughs, like Chandler's Vegas showgirl father, Ross' lesbian ex-wife, Phoebe's ridiculous twin sister, and all of the others that help to make the show and the characters what they are. But what one of them is, is a girl without a brother.

Question 13

Who fake-seduces Chandler?

In one particularly amusing scene about halfway through the series of Friends, one of Chandler's three best girlfriends has no other choice than to seduce him- not for real, of course, but she is trying to get him to admit that he is in a relationship. Both Chandler and the woman in question are bluffing big-time, and it goes as far as him touching her bra and breast, and even the most awkward kiss in the world! But her plan works, and he is forced to admit that he is, in fact, in a relationship.

Question 14

Who gets married in Las Vegas?

What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas, as everyone knows, but it rarely does- especially when it involves eloping. That is what happens to two of the group of friends when they are there visiting Joey, who has taken a job in a casino after the movie he thought was his "big break" was a flop. He did not want his friends finding out, but they headed to Vegas anyway, and two of them got themselves in some trouble after drinking way too much.

Question 15

Who adopted a hairless cat?

The Sphynx Cat has been dubbed the ugliest cat in the world, because it is hairless. You would not think that alone would make it so very ugly, but it so does. In one episode of Friends, one of the girls adopts a Sphynx cat and carries it around on a pillow. The cat (and her) become the butt of jokes, and even manage to freak out the other friends because it looks so strange. But in the end, the cat that she paid $1000 for was not worth it because he is mean and scratches her, and she has to find a way to get rid of it.

Question 16

Who is Princess Consuela Bananahammock?

After getting married, one of the friends decides to legally change her last name to her new husband's. In doing so, she discovers that she is allowed to change her name to anything she wants- ANYTHING. Seeing this as an opportunity to be creative, she picks the name Princess Consuela Bananahammock, unaware of what a "bananahammock" actually is. Her new husband is not happy, and only proves his point about why she should switch back when he decides to name himself Crap Bag.

Question 17

Who sings on stage in a see-through shirt?

At first, this female friend was nervous to get up on stage and sing at this bar they were at one night, but after one song, she realized how much the crowd loved her. What she didn't realize, however, was that they were mostly cheering for the fact that her shirt was 100% see-through... and she had elected to go braless that night. As Phoebe's husband Mike, who was in the audience, put it, "Great night to go without a bra." Eventually she realized it, though, to the dismay of the crowd.

Question 18

Who almost moves to France?

At the very end of the series, one of the main characters of Friends receives a job offer in Paris, France. It is not easy to move to a new country of course, and especially to move so far away from her close-knit group of friends that are really more like family at this point. But she makes the decision to leave for Paris, and even goes to the airport. All plans are finalized, when her lover tries to stop her, and he would have made it in time but he went to the wrong airport, only to go home and find her waiting for him there, because she got off the plane.

Question 19

Who has a box of rats?

At one point in the show, one of the girls keeps quite the interesting pet- or should I say, box of pets? That's right; either Monica, Rachel, or Phoebe, for whatever reason, has a box of rats that they adore and keep as pets- for a time being. In the aptly-titled episode, "The One With ____'s Rats", her one pet rat named Bob actually turned out to be a girl and had a bunch of rat babies, which were then kept in a box, and even brought to a birthday party.

Question 20

Who was really overweight in high school?

Throughout tons of comments and a few flashbacks, viewers learn early on in the series that one of the girls was extremely overweight in high school, although all three are super skinny in all 10 seasons of Friends. This former fat chick is the butt of many jokes, both in the present time in which the episode is taking place, and of course back then when we are treated to a flashback from the 80's when the friends were all in their high school and college days.

Question 21

Who is deathly afraid of eye drops?

There are many things to be deathly afraid of in this world, apparently even eye drops. Or at least for one of the girls on Friends. In the episode "The One With Joey's Big Break", this eye-drop-fearing woman must face her fears when she is persuaded to head to the optometrist after experiencing itchiness and redness in one of her eyes. Not surprisingly, she is prescribed eye drops, and the only way anyone can get her to actually take the eye drops is by physically sitting on top of her and holding her down one big group effort.

Question 22

Who wrote an 18-page letter to her boyfriend?

When it comes to relationships, women sometimes over communicate, which is what happened to either Monica, Rachel, or Phoebe when they were having difficulties with a boyfriend in one of the earlier seasons of Friends. Trying to make her feelings clear and thus their relationship better, she wrote an 18-page letter to her man, but it was so long that he fell asleep reading it, and ended up agreeing to something he didn't actually agree with in the slightest. In the end, the letter only made things worse.

Question 23

Who dated a cop?

One of the women from Friends met a police officer by accident when she was pretending to be one, herself. She had stumbled upon his badge that he had lost, and decided to use it to better the environment, flashing it whenever someone littered or put their cigarette out on a tree. She even made one woman apologize to the tree! But then she flashed it to the wrong guy, the owner of the badge. Luckily, he was nice about it and asked only that she go out with him on a date.

Question 24

Who dates an Ultimate Fighting Champion?

Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe have some interesting collective boyfriends, and Pete the Ultimate Fighting Champion is just one more. He was a super rich guy who took one of the friends to Europe on their first date! So of course she swooned over him- for awhile. But she was not so attracted to him, and he kept getting hurt in his fighting matches- like, full body cast hurt. In the end, she decided she could not stay with someone who was constantly risking his own safety like that, and he was not willing to give it up, so they broke up.

Question 25

Who kicked Joey's girlfriend?

There was a time when the lovable Joey dated the cute, petite little Katie, who was as sweet as can be. But he started to complain to his friends that he really liked her, except for the fact that she kept punching him jokingly in the arm- and it actually hurt! Of course, his friends made fun of him for it because he was so much bigger than her, until one day Katie good-naturedly punched Monica, Rachel, or Phoebe in the arm, too. So she punched her right back, and Katie asked Joey if he was gonna do anything about it. He didn't, and they broke up.

Question 26

Who Hates PBS?

It may seem like a strange thing for a person to hate a television network so passionately, but one of the women definitely did. The reason she gives for this is that her mother used to watch Sesame Street on PBS when she was a kid until her mother killed herself. But she ends up donating $200 to Joey's telethon on PBS, for "the kids whose moms' didn't kill themselves." Sadly, this means her good deed made her feel good and Joey won the bet they'd made about how there are no selfless good deeds.

Question 27

Who dated the Yeti?

One day when Monica and Rachel are in the storage room of their apartment building looking for their waffle iron, a scary-looking man enters with an axe, and they "fog" him with their bug bomb. It turns out it was just their new neighbor Danny, who had a crazy long beard. The girls go to apologize to him although he is kind of rude about it, shutting the door in their faces. Later, after he shaves his beard to get the "fog" smell out, he ends up dating either Monica, Rachel, or Phoebe.

Question 28

Who gets a pink bike as a gift from Ross?

The charming and nerdy Ross treats his friends pretty well, and one time he even bought Monica, Rachel, or Phoebe a pretty pink bike with tassels because he learned she'd never had a bike as a kid. The recipient of this thoughtful gift is of course very thankful, but she also never learned to ride a bike, so she walks it everywhere until Ross notices she is not riding it, and then offers to teach her. Then the two engage in some bike-riding lessons, which are (naturally) very laughable.

Question 29

Who eats cheesecake off the floor with Chandler?

This may seem like a truly strange question, but not when you consider how quirky the friends can be, and just how much Chandler and one of the girls love this cheesecake. It all starts when they are mistakenly delivered a cheesecake from Mama's Little Bakery and it is so delicious that they even eat the second mistakenly-delivered cheesecake after delivering it to the right doorstep and no one has claimed it. They agree to wait for each other to eat the dessert and even cut it in half, but a fight ensues, and the cheesecake ends up on the hallway floor. But it is simply too yummy to go to waste, so they pick at it with forks.

Question 30

Who buys very expensive but very uncomfortable boots?

One of the ladies splurges and buys phenomenal boots that are hugely expensive- and, as she soon learns, hugely uncomfortable. It is hard to wear these boots anywhere without being in pain, and she cannot take them back because there is now blood on the inside. These are boots that cost more than her rent, so as you can imagine, her significant other is none too thrilled about this, especially when after a work party with lots of dancing he has to carry her home.

Question 31

Who has a baby the same day as Janice?

The nasally but lovable Janice is a recurring character throughout the series of Friends. She dates Chandler on and off, and then is just his friend, and she also briefly dates Ross at one point. But after making her way through those boys, she settles down with her husband and has a baby- at the same hospital and on the same day as Monica, Rachel, or Phoebe! Being in labor is uncomfortable enough, but when you add in Janice's annoying voice, the woman in labor gets that much more irritable.

Question 32

Whose doctor is obsessed with Fonzie?

In the 100th episode of Friends, when one of the three girlfriends is in labor, her doctor is freakishly obsessed with Fonzie from Happy Days. Her regular doctor fell in the shower and hit her head so she is unable to assist with the birth. But this new doctor is almost unhealthily obsessed with Fonzie, so the mom-to-be orders her friends to find her another doctor. The one they find is too young for her liking though, so in the end the first doctor, who clarifies for them that he is not Fonzie, handles the delivery.

Question 33

Who is the mother of twins?

Of the three women, one becomes pregnant with a single child, one carries triplets, and the third become parents to twins via a surrogate. This new mother was not aware she would be receiving twins though, until the second baby came out. Luckily for her, it is a boy and a girl, and she names them Jack and Erica. The twins are born in the episode called The Last One, Part One, and are not really mentioned or shown much in the series finale, which is called The Last One, Part Two.

Question 34

Who almost gets married in Las Vegas?

As we know, a drunken duo of the friends say "I do" while on a trip to Las Vegas with the gang, but two more of the friends actually almost got married there, too. In fact, they really only stopped their plans when they saw the other two stumbling out of the chapel, having just been married, themselves. Ultimately, they decide they want to wait and do things right when they get married, although they had already gotten something old, new, borrowed, and blue.

Question 35

Who went to Greece?

After a wedding debacle in England, Ross is doing everything humanly possible to get his new wife Emily to forgive him for saying someone else's name at the altar. At the airport, he is clinging to hope that she will show up for their honeymoon to Greece, waiting until the doors are practically closed. Then he runs into one of his close girl friends, and figures she might as well come with him so the ticket is not wasted, and since his wife did not show up. Except then she did show up, he chased after her, and his poor friend went on their honeymoon alone.

Question 36

Who gets mistaken for being Ross' mother?

At that same wedding in England, one of the women is having troubles of a different sort. At the rehearsal dinner, she gets mistaken by a drunk man for being Ross' mother, meaning around 30 years older than she actually is. Luckily, her good friend Chandler is sitting right next to her at the moment, and tries to comfort her when she starts to get depressed that she will never get married, and that she looks old. That is definitely not something you want to hear, at a wedding or any other time.

Question 37

Who almost married Barry?

Barry is a name Friends fans have heard since the pilot episode, when his runaway bride made her grand appearance at the Central Perk after having just left him at the altar- she is even still wearing her wedding dress! Amusingly, this happens right after Ross declares that he just wants to be married again. The bride proclaims that she just does not love her fiance anymore and could not marry him, Barry the dentist. And this is the first time viewers see all six friends together.

Question 38

Who opened up a mobile catering business together?

Two of the girls decide to go into business together, combining their kills and expertise (and need of money) to run a mobile catering business. It all came together because of a funeral that one of them needed help with, and afterward, they realized how well they worked together and decided to make it official. They even bought a van to make it mobile. But then one of them gets a better job opportunity, and creates a whole list of things the other could do on her own with the van.

Question 39

Who accidentally kisses her boss?

In "The One With ____'s Inadvertent Kiss", one of the girls accidentally kisses her boss, Mr. Zelner, on the cheek when he leans in to open the door for her after her interview for Ralph Lauren. Surprisingly, she gets the job, but she just keeps messing up around Mr. Zelner, and even touches his crotch by accident and tells him off! Of course, it is all innocent and she ends up getting the job anyway, although he did not allow her to hug him despite her excitement at the job offer.

Question 40

Who gives Joey a man purse?

In Season 5's "The One With Joey's Bag", Joey is very proud to be sporting a man purse that he thinks makes him look very slick. He falls in love with the bag given to him by one of his good girlfriends, but everyone else makes fun of him for it. It is a shoulder bag, but everyone else thinks its a purse, including the directors at the play he auditions for (with the bag). Unfortunately he makes his audition more about the bag than the part, and does not get a role.

Question 41

Who is known for being super competitive?

Throughout the series, there is one of the six friends who is known for being super competitive- with everything. And it is one of the girls. She will turn anything into a competition, refuse to throw a game even for the sake of her husband's boss' pride, and happily challenge anything she feels like challenging. Competing is in her blood, and she is one tough chick, which of course makes for a lot of good laughs throughout the 10 seasons.

Question 42

Who has a really weird style of running?

In the sixth season, there is an episode where two of the girls go jogging together for fun. But one of them has a very strange way of running, attracting confused stares from passersby and embarrassing her friend. Because of this embarrassment she no longer wants to jog with her friend, who runs like an elephant because it's "more fun". And she questions why anyone should care what anyone else thinks of them. In the end, the crazy jogger's friend tries it and finds that it is more fun and free, and she actually likes running crazy.

Question 43

Who bought the apothecary table?

In "The One With the Apothecary Table", one of the girls buys an apothecary table from Pottery Barn, despite the fact that her roommate detests mass-produced products like that. So she tells her its from a flea market so she will be allowed to keep it in their apartment. Then she keeps buying stuff from Pottery Barn and saying it is from this flea market, and even though she is eventually discovered, she ends up being able to keep all the stuff because her roommate likes it so much, too.

Question 44

Who dumps her boyfriend because he shot a bird?

One of the friends is fiercely protective of the environment and an animal rights activist. She refuses to wear fur, and when her police officer boyfriend shoots an annoying bird out his window that wakes him up every morning. she is horrified, and that is the end of a relationship that probably could have really gone somewhere, because they seemed to really like each other. It is especially sad because the two had just decided to move in together and it was their first morning as a cohabitating couple.

Question 45

Who gets stuck in a room while the other one is fighting with her boyfriend?

It is never a good idea to interrupt a couple in the middle of a fight, especially a really big fight. But two of the guys and two of the girls got stuck in Monica's bedroom while their other two friends were really going at it- and not in a good way. The foursome were stuck in the bedroom in the first place because the girls were trying to wax their legs but it was so painful the guys come to their aid, only to then get stuck in there while their other friends had a blowout fight.

Question 46

Who finds out she is pregnant at a wedding?

What better place to find out you are pregnant than at a wedding? That is what happened to Monica, Rachel, or Phoebe, essentially ruining their evening because besides the fact that she could no longer enjoy a glass of champagne or wine, she also had this heavy burden and needed to decide what to do about it. After having taken a pregnancy test in the bathroom with her two best friends, and the test was positive, the three women did what they always do- were there for each other, even in the midst of a wedding.

Question 47

Whose husband gets transferred to Tulsa?

In the later seasons, one of the friends' jobs sends him to Tulsa, Oklahoma, much to the dismay of his wife and friends in New York. New York has always been their home base, and to think of a member of their group being so far away was a tough thing on the gang. But to be fair, it was his own fault for falling asleep in a meeting and inadvertently volunteering to relocate to Tulsa. In the end, he quits and moves back to New York, but not before a lot of traveling back and forth happened.

Question 48

Who smokes with her coworkers to become closer to them?

In "The One Where ___ Smokes" in the sixth season, one of the girls wants to bond with her boss and coworker, who take frequent cigarette breaks outside. The problem is, they end up talking business and making a lot of decisions while they smoke, and since Monica, Rachel, or Phoebe is not a smoker, she misses out on a lot of opportunities this way- she even missed out on a Paris trip! So she pretends to smoke to get in with them, but her plan backfires when they tell her she should stick to her plan of quitting because she was doing so well.

Question 49

Who dated a scientist who had to leave for Minsk?

An infrequent but recurring character throughout the series is David, a scientist who dates either Monica, Rachel, or Phoebe. They are always very much in love whenever they are able to see each other, but David moved to Minsk, Belarus, after he got grants for his scientific research. At first he decided to stay for his love, but she realized she was being selfish and let him go. They see each other whenever he returns to New York, and he wanted to propose to her later on, but she was already with someone else.

Question 50

Who kissed Joey in Barbados?

This very unlikely pair were two people no one ever considered getting together romantically, and viewers were not a fan of it. Nevertheless, Joey had been having growing feelings for one of his close female friends, and she also began questioning hers for him. While in Barbados for Ross' paleontology speech, the two friends actually did kiss, after Joey had broken up with his girlfriend Charlie. But nothing ever comes of it, and although they remain very good friends, that is all they are going forward.
