September 2024 marks 30 years since the first episode of Friends premiered, so take our quiz to see how much you remember about 10 seasons’ worth of adventures with Ross (David Schwimmer),

Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Monica (Courteney Cox), Chandler (Matthew Perry), Joey (Matt LeBlanc) and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow).

Members only Question 1 of 10

What question cost Monica and Rachel their apartment in the roommate quiz competition?

Which phenomenon scares the bejesus out of Chandler? What name is on the guys’ “TV Guide” address

label? What is Chandler’s job? What was the occupation of Joey’s imaginary friend, Maurice?

Rachel couldn’t identify what Chandler did for a living in Season 4’s “The One With the Embryos,” and we’re guessing that few fans can, either. However, they probably can tell you he wasn’t

a transponster because, as Monica put it, “That’s not even a word!” By the way, in case you were wondering, he was involved in statistical analysis and data reconfiguration.

Question 2

of 10

Joey’s biggest acting success was playing neurosurgeon Dr. Drake Ramoray on what soap opera?

“General Hospital” “Guiding Light”

Joey was living the dream until he mentioned in an interview that he came up with most of his own lines, which angered the show’s writers. Shortly afterward, his character, neurosurgeon

Drake Ramoray, fell down an elevator shaft. Years later, his character was revived, following a brain transplant from a character played by Susan Sarandon.

Question 3 of 10

In Season 1, Chandler got trapped in an ATM vestibule with which ’90s model?

Elle Macpherson Jill Goodacre Kathy Ireland Niki Taylor

Chandler spent the blackout in the world’s largest ATM vestibule with Victoria’s Secret model Jill Goodacre. She offered him a stick of gum (prompting him to utter the supremely awkward

line, “Gum would be perfection”). By the time the lights came back on, he’d choked on a piece of someone else’s used gum, and Goodacre performed the Heimlich maneuver on him. Aussie

supermodel Elle Macpherson later had a recurring role as Joey’s new roommate in Season 6 after Chandler moved in with Monica.

Question 4 of 10

When Rachel got pregnant, who besides Ross was suspected to be the father?

father of Ross’ girlfriend, Elizabeth Tag, her assistant at Ralph Lauren

Tag, whom Rachel had broken up with due to his lack of maturity, was actually trying to get back together with her and bailed when he realized she was pregnant. He and Ross both owned the

same red sweater, and one was left in the apartment he shared with Rachel, which made Joey suspect Tag was the father when it was actually Ross.

Question 5 of 10

Which one of these guest stars was not romantically linked to a cast member at some point?

Julia Roberts Bruce Willis Brad Pitt David Arquette

According to the late Matthew Perry’s 2022 memoir (Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing), Bruce Willis lost a bet with him and had to appear on the show as a result. Perry also

revealed in the book that he wooed Roberts with a poem about physics to get her to be in the Season 3 post–Super Bowl episode — and be his real-life girlfriend. Arquette was dating his

Scream costar Courteney Cox at the time he guest starred in Season 1 as a stalker who mistook Phoebe for her twin sister, Ursula. And of course, Pitt was famously still married to Jennifer

Aniston when he appeared as Will Colbert, a former friend of Monica and Ross who harbored a deep-seated grudge against Rachel due to her mean-girl behavior in high school.
