About This Quiz

Are you going home for Thanksgiving this year? If you're anything like us, you're going to skip the big game and rewatch something amazing: those "Friends" Thanksgiving episodes. We're sorry, but watching Tom Brady run all over some field isn't half as entertaining as watching the "Friends" gang celebrate. Remember the one where Joey makes Chandler spend six hours locked in a box? Or the one where Phoebe gets a crush on Monica and Ross's dad? Or the one where Joey AND Monica put raw turkeys on their heads?

If just reading about those episodes is putting you in a good mood, we've got great news: "Friends" and Thanksgiving are what this quiz is all about! We want to know which "Friends" character you're most like on Turkey Day, so we've come up with some wild questions. By hook or by crook, we're determined to discover whether you're the second coming of Rachel Green or a Tribbiani at heart.

You're going to have to tell us which Friend you'd want to be on "The Amazing Race" with, who you think Rachel should have ended up with and what your favorite Thanksgiving side is. In return, we'll type your personality so you can finally figure out just how Phoebe (or Joey) you are. Could we BE any more excited? Not possible! If you feel the same way, play this quiz!
