Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 1 December 2019

Uncategorized, , ,

Movies tend to spend a lot of time on the lives of the main characters.

This week we’re looking at minor characters.

For your team name, we want you to re-title a film or TV series to focus on a minor character.

Kill Some Blonde in a Yellow Jumpsuit: There’s 88 of us, we’re gonna win easily

The Assassination of Greedo by the Coward Han Solo

Vernon Dursley and the Ungrateful Nephew

Anything that re-titles a film or TV series to focus on a minor character will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 24 November 2019

Uncategorized,

We get a lot of different ages at our trivia shows.

This week we want to know how old you are, but we don’t want you to use numbers.

I’ve literally never lived in a world without the internet.

When the Simpsons started, I was Bart’s age. Now I’m Homer’s age.

Saw every Star Wars film in the theatre.

I’ve never owned a watch.

The dumb things I did in my youth aren’t on social media.

Anything that tells us your age without using numbers gets a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team wrote their answers on three separate sheets of paper, none of which were the actual answer sheet. Because apparently putting the answers in the allocated spaces is too complicated.

The Rock’s occupation was described as “wrestler, the fake ass kind.”

Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump was described as “that wheelchair guy who was also in CSI: NY.”

One team opted against a question on castanets despite having three Spanish speakers on their team, and then got a question on French cities wrong despite having a French citizen on the team.

The word “pisspot” was given as one of the most common words ending in POT.

And after getting the gambler’s questions wrong, one team tried to convince us that one of their number had gambled 5 points by mistake, and could we just deduct one point instead. Yeah… nah.

See you next week.
