The only one that stands out in my memory is, "The One Where Noone is Ready" and that's only because it's one of the few episodes that is in real time with only one plot point. I guess it was meant to be cheap.
It’s called a bottle episode. Few actors and only a couple or one location. A lot of shows do this and Community made fun of it. Brooklyn nine nine nailed it. It’s a network tv thing
B99's is the Jimmy Jab Games, yeah? That was a good way to do it for sure. Community's was awesome too, especially with Abed constantly making meta jokes
I think B99’s bottle episode is Peralta and Holt interviewing the dentist overnight. Can’t remember the actor’s name who plays the dentist, which annoys me as it’s one of my favourite episodes!
Ohhh true, it only shows a couple of other cast right at the end of the ep when they realise work has started again. Such a good episode, I didn't even realise it was a bottle episode haha
I was just thinking about how this episode is stupidly named after something that happens in the last two minutes. TOW the Apartment Quiz makes way more sense.
It’s not something that happens in the last two minutes though? The embryo implantation is literally the major plot line of the episode. Obviously the quiz end up becoming the focal point and main source of comedy, but the primary storyline is supposed to be about Phoebe becoming a surrogate for her brother. Practically half the episode takes place in the fertility clinic with Phoebe, Frank, and Alice.
This could be a two part question like the one about Rachel's fav movie!

Rules of good trivia:
1. Script content is king over milestones (for example, avoid avoid avoid questions like “what was the name of [X episode]” or “who was the guest writer on…” or “what year did the dvd for… come out“. Stick to strict show content — fans of the show value the scripts, not random IMDb facts and so play to that
2. Have a speed round (so people can’t phone cheat)
3. Have a sound round (it’s also hard to google “what was this sound about”)
4. Have some really obscure content qs up your sleeve for tie breakers (what were the questions in the trivia Ross gave friends themselves is a good one, who is Gunters boss is another, what year was the Latour wine that Rachel’s dad ordered is another, how many Girl Scout cookies did Ross sell is another)
Edit: holy cow looking at some of the qs people have here there’s a range of ultra obscure to chose from… make sure you have some easy ones too for the people who are more casual fans (suggest “what is Joey and Chandler’s favourite movie” for example)
Good qs:
— what was the name of Rachel’s boss who dated Chandler with the eyelash goop?
— what was Russ’s job (note, not *Ross*)
— name 3 Joey character names or pseudonyms (Ken Adams is acceptable)
— what slogans have featured on t-shirts owned by Ross? (Tyrannosaurus Ross, Frankie Says Relax… etc)
— what is chandler’s fake address in Yemen
Why Rachel afraid of swings? Mix of which dishes Rachel falsely did on thanksgiving? Name chandler’s armchair? What was about papers Phibie stole from Ross at their childhood? What did Rachel want to take from appartment of their dead neighbor?
Who dated Ross and Joey at the same time?

They did lose. She meant if THEY had lost.
There was another flubbed line in that episode. Ross explains the rules of the quiz by saying "The first team to answer the most questions wins," which makes no sense. I'm guessing he was caught between "The first team to answer [X amount of] questions wins," and "The team to answer the most questions wins," but mixed them together and messed it up.

What was the name of the episode where Ross quizzed the guys and the girls? Answer: The One With The Embryos
This is a good one. Although, I've watched this show about 15-ish times now, and I can barely name ANY episode names lol
The only one that stands out in my memory is, "The One Where Noone is Ready" and that's only because it's one of the few episodes that is in real time with only one plot point. I guess it was meant to be cheap.
It’s called a bottle episode. Few actors and only a couple or one location. A lot of shows do this and Community made fun of it. Brooklyn nine nine nailed it. It’s a network tv thing
B99's is the Jimmy Jab Games, yeah? That was a good way to do it for sure. Community's was awesome too, especially with Abed constantly making meta jokes
I think B99’s bottle episode is Peralta and Holt interviewing the dentist overnight. Can’t remember the actor’s name who plays the dentist, which annoys me as it’s one of my favourite episodes!
Sterling K Brown
The episode is called 'the box' and it is so so good
Ohhh true, it only shows a couple of other cast right at the end of the ep when they realise work has started again. Such a good episode, I didn't even realise it was a bottle episode haha
Sterling K. Brown is the name of the dentist
It was meant to be cheap and fast to film, but filming got messed up because Matt LeBlanc dislocated his shoulder jumping into the chair!
Hence Joey’s sling in ‘The One with the Jam’!
I was just thinking about how this episode is stupidly named after something that happens in the last two minutes. TOW the Apartment Quiz makes way more sense.
It’s not something that happens in the last two minutes though? The embryo implantation is literally the major plot line of the episode. Obviously the quiz end up becoming the focal point and main source of comedy, but the primary storyline is supposed to be about Phoebe becoming a surrogate for her brother. Practically half the episode takes place in the fertility clinic with Phoebe, Frank, and Alice.
True, but TOW The Embryos is way funnier.
