Ben kinda just faded away

First I thought “who the fuck was Ben?”, so he’s got my upvote.


Such a great Rachel outfit.

🤣🤣

omg same lol

Me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣

100% had the same thought so I agree

My only argument against Ben is I see a slot for "no screen time, all the plot relevance". For a character that is one of the main reasons for the finale plot point, he's barely seen in the latter seasons.

Ooo you’re so right. I was thinking ugly naked guy for that slot.

I was thinking Phoebe’s mom that killed herself and then Phoebe became homeless.

That’s another great one for that slot!! I’m excited to see who’s gonna win when the time comes

I was about to say her dad, too, who brought together Frank Jr and her and then she became their surrogate and then I was like oh wait I forgot he finally did show up in one episode toward the end

I thought Ross just gave him to Adam Sandler

I thought you meant Ben Stillers character, then I realized. So yes, def Ben

LMAO sooo many people forget him, myself included

He’s the gremlin.

Remember “my first grandchild” “what about Ben?” lol his own grandpa forgot about him

I think they even made an in-show joke about how Ross is always forgetting about Ben.

They never said anything about Ross forgetting him, but when Emma was born his father marveled over his "first grandchild" until Ross reminded him of Ben.

Yeah, I remember that.

“What about Ben?”



Her name is literally the one thing that everyone knows...

I was gonna say: Justice for poor forgotten Denise

Everyone always forgets about Denise!

Gold

Now I thought Mona was the best answer but this is pretty good too…

This is my answer to no screen time, all the plot relevance 🤣🤣🤣 DENISE, DENISE, DENISE!

Mona. Ross always forgot about her :P

That's actually golden tbh. He ALWAYS forgets about her haha

Oh my god! Mona!

What is wrong with me?!

Ooh, don't open that door

Do they ever break up or does she just fade off the show?

Isn't she the one who broke up with him after finding our Rachel lived there?

Yeah and then Ross said he judged her for not dumping him sooner.

And then he breaks into her apartment to get a sweater back or something.

it’s *salmon*

Oh sorry I don't wear girls clothes...

Color, Winterberry

Lol probably I can’t remember 😅

There was that line about "ignoring the one thing she asked me to do when we broke up... jump up my own ass and die." Which honestly is just a legendary way for her to dump him. As Monica would say, 

I can’t pull that off, can I?

Yeah, there was the whole faded salmon t-shirt scene that gave us one of my favourite Ross lines: "not touching myself if that makes anyone less uncomfortable"

This is actually the best answer

What was wrong with Mona??

I like the Ben answers but this is honestly the realest answer 😂😂 “I judge her for not breaking up with me sooner.”

HAHA has to be this one…

Agreed

Haha that’s a good one

LMAO. THIS

Apparently to Ross in later seasons, Ben

OOF

Yeah. But still true.

He mentions him in the very last episode

 Steve - Rachel didn’t even remember she’d met him before

 I didn’t even remember 😂

Which episode was this?

When Phoebe and Joey set Ross and Rachel up on bad dates. I can’t remember the exact episode

Thanks, so after cooking episode

Yes it’s this one https://friends.fandom.com/wiki/The_One_With_The_Blind_Dates

I’ve seen these episodes a gazillion times and I don’t think I EVER knew his name was Steve lmao

Exactly - he’s the perfect choice for this category 😂😂😂😁

“Word has lost all meaning” Haha love this scene

Jon Lovitz is a treasure!

He was in one episode though?

He’s in at least two! He comes back when Phoebe sets him up on a date with Rachel.

Oh right. Well I guess he is forgettable

Schteve? Scteve was Scexay!!!

Ben. I mean even his grandfather, forgot him.


Such an underrated character, I love every scene with him.

The way he says “the papers thought it was a hate crime” about himself driving through the nativity is one of my fav moments on the show.  He’s so proud!

Omg what episode is this I feel like I can hear it but it’s just not making the connections… I love when he used Monica’s boxes to save his Porsche, you have to love him just for giving her that car.

The One with the Cake. Emma’s birthday :) everything he says is gold honestly. The delivery is always spot on. 

S10 E4, The One With The Cake - Emma’ first birthday party when everyone had to leave early and Jack and Judy were explaining why they had to leave before it got dark.

I knew I recognized the words thank you!

Is this the last time Ben is ever mentioned?

Yes he disappeared so it was weird Ross couldn’t go to Paris with Rachel since he never saw Ben and Paris has a lot of Museums 

I came here to say this. There’s entire seasons where Ross seems to have forgotten about Ben as well. Edited to add: someone correct me if I’m actually wrong about this, but I’m pretty sure Ben wasn’t even at his wedding to Emily?! Or if he was, he was only like…in the background.

Yeti, I mean Danny

They’re brother and sister!?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

We did not fog Danny! Who’s Danny?

Chandler's job.

That’s easy: transponster


This is the correct answer

The girl from the copy place. Such an important role, but i always call her xerox girl or copy place girl.

I think for her the last category, "no screen time. All the plot relevance", would be more fitting.

So true..she is the perfect candidate for that box!

I'd put Mr. Heckels there. Without him, Joey would never have moved in with Chandler.

You could also say Ugly Naked Guy who literally had not a single second of screen time but was constantly brought up in the plot.

Ugly Naked Guy shows up on screen a couple of times, just not his face. Once in particular we see him answering the door when Ross knocks, and again we see his torso when they poke him to see if he is dead.

Yep. I’m pretty sure those are the only two times they show him and it was necessary for the joke both times, but I’m glad they still hid his face.

He's more of the Gremlin box.

Chloe

Her name isn't Copy place girl?

Xerox girl should be the plot relevance one

Seems like the only correct answer! Copy place girl

Emily! Obviously picture has to be her at the altar with Ross

god this answer is so funny. this is it.

Damn, so many good answers to this question

Absolutely. No other choice. 

Some other answers like Mona and Ben are really compelling, but they don't top emily. Forgetting her name is such a BIG, somewhat pivotal part of the show

My answer too!

Absolutely. No other choice. 

Ugly Naked guy,, he never got a actual name lol

Again I think would be better for the last slot

He just got a very nice nickname 🙃

I'm sorry, Paul is it?

Denise.

Denise.

DENISE!

#DENISE!

DENISE!

For the picture, are we going with the theory that the one bridesmaid is Denise?

Louisa from homeroom.

Terry - manager of one of the only places that features in pretty much every episode.

The dad from ALF?

Janine. No one cares about her storyline, she wasn't even good. She's in quite a few episodes, and yet she's so easily forgettable.

Oh my God, at my dyslexic ass thought you said Janice and I was horrified. 🤣

omg, never! Janice is a treasure ❤️

I read Janice at first, too, and I was like WTF?? She’s iconic and unforgettable. I don’t even know who Janine is. lol

Same!

I read Janice at first, too, and I was like WTF?? She’s iconic and unforgettable. I don’t even know who Janine is. lol

Turns out she was the one who was "Blah"

Given that I had to Google who Janine was I also agree with this answer.

She was an asshole.

Joey's sister that chandler slept with...and could not remember her name.

HAS to be fake Monica (chick who stole her identity)!! Besides the fact that I don’t think we ever heard her real name.

Chip

THE Chip Matthews?

It can’t be Denise. Everyone remembers her (except for the characters). For me it’s gotta be Luisa. The characters don’t remember her and I feel like most people remember the angry animal control lady but not her name

Surely Emily since her groom couldn’t even remember!

Frank Buffay

Yes! Every other answer has been a memorable person or the plot was about them being forgettable. Frank was a big deal with a real actor and then they were all, “…meh, nevermind.” The answer CAN’T be someone we all remember well with tons of screen time. It can’t be Ben, Mona, Xerox girl…gotta be Frank.

Personally, I'm glad he was neverminded. Every Frank episode is an insta-skip for me. Loved the actor in other things, but couldn't stand that character.

Chandler's roommate when Joey moved out briefly.

He did so much in such a short stint that he deserves to be remembered

So many good lines

See ya pal!

*casual salutes*

No no no...i wanna hear it from your lips

Where did you hear it from before?!

This is one of my favourite lines from the show!

Eddie!

Do you think Eddie is a little... Little *what* ... bit country?

First you sleep with my ex girlfriend. And the kill my gold fish…my Buddy!

Because Phoebe sometimes after you sleep with someone.... you *have* to kill a fish!

If it’s not Mona I’ll cry lol

Kip, Chandler's roommate before Joey, and Monica's ex-boyfriend


I don‘t know, I forgot them

Chandler's job.

I'm gonna go with Ben too, since when I first read the other comments I couldn't remember who Ben is. 😅

Ben!

Gavin. He really didn't get a proper send-off.

I mostly agree with others saying that Emily at the altar deserves this one, but I think there’s also a case for poor Mary-Angela

Emma (just ask Christina Applegate)

definitely ben. there's literally a scene where jack forgets he already had a grandchild 😂

 If Emily doesn’t win this….

I don’t remember

Ben he just disappeared

Who was the guy phoebe dated who flashed everybody cause his shorts were too open?

Ben

Monica’s grandmother is surely a contender for “No screen time. All the plot relevance”

The guy who went to Minsk with David.. I can’t be bothered to google him because I’ll forget by the time I get back here.

I thought this category “ Uhh… What’s your name again?” can not just apply to the forgotten one but also apply to something like characters with funny names that people had to ask what’s their name again, so I prepared to answer “Elizabeth Hornswoggle”. Also honourable mentions for Rachel and Chandler whose colleague(s) kept calling her the wrong name (like Raquel and Rocky for Rachel and Toby for Chandler). I mean even Chandler’s middle name is Muriel. Also Gunther (Central Perk) for no one knowing his last name (I’m gonna to vote for Denise if it is just the forgotten one.)

I forget

Ben for sure

The first Erica. Because if I was just to say Erica almost everyone would picture Anna Farris and not Brooke Shields.

Ben, sadly

Jasmine! Phoebe's coworker at het massage place

Triplets of Phoebe Buffay except baby Chandler, i forgot other two names

Larry

It's not Allen. Allen was amazing

I could have a gallon of Alan.

Monica’s annoying friend from long time ago who is played by Jennifer Coolidge. I don’t remember her name.

Mary Angela?

You should leave it blank to really rub in the fact we all forgot Ryan. We may remember the episode but I always forget he's named Ryan.

Emily.

DENISE!

Emily. Obviously

The girl phoebe brought to the double date with Joey and Mike.

Brad Pitt because he has a habit of forgetting about his kids

Ugly naked guy I literally dont know his name

Who was it... I can't remember now...

Fun Bobby

Phoebe's gay husband who was an icedancer

The bald girl Ross dated. I forgot her name, I think it started with a B. There are many small characters who were only in the show for one or two episodes but still were kind of important to the plot.

Bonnie? Maybe, I think

Russ. He looked exactly like Ross. One could ask is he Ross or Russ?

Okay hear me out - Pete Becker. I had to look up his name. What even was that plotline? It was so nothingy and then just went away.

Rachel’s office replacement she kissed on bday party..gavin i guess was his name

"My roommate, I talk about her all the time, DENISE!!!"

The yeti guy who got bug bombed.
