Match the HBO comedy to quotes

What you’ll do in this quiz

Each question gives you a quote and asks you to match it to the right HBO comedy. With mixed difficulty, you’ll see both instantly recognizable lines and deeper cuts that reward true fans.

The format is simple: 4 options per question and no timer, so you can focus on recall instead of speed. Before you start, choose your question count and set the difficulty to keep things light, challenging, or fully mixed.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll sharpen quote recognition, character-voice memory, and show-to-tone matching—especially when multiple series share similar comedic styles. It’s also great practice for separating “I’ve seen it” from “I can place the line.”

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

A lot of misses come from confusing shows with overlapping casts, similar settings, or the same kind of punchline rhythm. Another trap is overthinking: sometimes the most obvious HBO comedy is correct because the quote is a signature catchphrase.

How the difficulty is balanced

Mixed difficulty blends well-known quotes with more niche references, so newer viewers can still score while longtime fans stay engaged. If you want a smoother run, lower the difficulty; if you want maximum variety, keep it mixed and increase the question count.

• Read the quote out loud to catch the show’s cadence and style
• Watch for slang, era-specific references, and recurring catchphrases
• Don’t let shared actors or similar premises override the quote’s tone
• Use elimination: rule out shows that wouldn’t use that kind of language or humor
• If you’re unsure, pick a shorter question count and replay to learn patterns
