9 Ups & 3 Downs From Friends: The Reunion

6. The One With The Trivia Quiz

Front and back!

That's what Jennifer Anniston yelled out as the famous trivia quiz returned to the Friends set. The inclusion of this had already been teased in the official trailer for the special, but seeing it actually play out in full was tantalising. That this easily could have been the exact same quiz from the actual episode it was in rather than the questions being tweaked to Friends trivia is a testament to how great everyone was here.

Just lay all this out; Chandler's job being described as "Nobody knows, really", Matt LeBlanc screaming out "18 pages!" prior to Anniston's "front and back" wail, the barbershop quartet hired by Ross to sing for Rachel performing an encore performance of that very song, the return of Joey's hand twin, and surprise appearances from Tom Selleck and Larry Hankin, who, according to Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, is called either Mr. Hinkle or Mr. Wriggles, rather than Mr. Heckles.

Everything about this quiz came together to create something that was on a similar level to the actual quiz as seen in The One With The Embryos. That initial quiz saw some spectacular acting from all involved; the same applies to this, with one small exception. This was no act, but rather a group of genuine friends having a laugh like it's 1994 all over again.
