About This Quiz

"You go, girl" (or boy)! Just for thinking of taking this quiz, Martin is going to give you props, but are you the ultimate fan? Will you be allowed to stay in the crib or will you be forced to "get to steppin'?"

Calling all '90s fans! One of the biggest sitcoms of the '90s premiered on FOX Network in August 1992. Starring comedian Martin Lawrence, "Martin" followed his character as he maneuvered through his everyday life in Detroit.  

With an ensemble of friends, the show highlighted Martin, a radio show host with a lot to say, his girlfriend Gina, a successful marketing exec, her best friend Pam, Martin's long-time frenemy, and Martin's two best friends, Tommy and Cole, the former of which is level-headed and intelligent while the latter is a bit simple-minded.

Martin Lawrence helped frame the comedic world with his slew of special characters. While average fans know of his group of friends, can you as an ultimate fan remember his neighbor Sheneneh Jenkins? What was the name of the pot-bellied security guard who could fight surprisingly well? If you wanted karate lessons, who would you go to?

"Oh, no, you didn't!" It seems like you're ready to challenge this quiz. Are you setting yourself apart from the average fan and proving that you're the ultimate one with this ultimate "Martin" quiz? Let's find out!
