INTERESTING MOMENTS

When presented with five 50/50 choices, the best any team did at one quiz was two. Just two. Statistically, that’s worse than random chance, and that’s the best anyone did. One team got zero out of five.

When given a question about Ritalin, one team reacted in such a pronounced way that we thought something was up. Turns out half the team was currently ON Ritalin.

And one team argued for a VAR decision when they claimed to have said USA in the bonus round. We didn’t hear it, nobody in the room heard it, and all the gaslighting in the world isn’t going to make us think you said it when you didn’t.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 24 December 2023

A backyard cricket dispute resulted in stitches

My conspiracy theorist uncle decided to drop in unannounced

A power cut on Christmas eve meant the food for Christmas lunch was ruined

Any story about what ruined a perfectly good Christmas will get a bonus point.

Why has that creep been filming only Keira Knightley for the whole wedding?

My wife has been listening to those carol singers a long time

Why is that miser always surrounded by singing Muppets?

Uncle Clark needs therapy

Bloody hell Clark, they’re only Christmas lights?

A Gruber kind of Christmas

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Cities with high NRL attendance? Adelaide, Sydney, Perth said one team who probably didn’t know what NRL is. When we suggested they change some, they scratched out Sydney.

One team forgot to do their homework on Swedish Prime Ministers so they guessed the names of ABBA members, and because Andersson is both a member of ABBA and a recent Prime Minister, they still got one.

You know that famous Dylan Thomas poem? “Do not go gentle into that good night. Take as many of the bitches down with you as you can.”

One player complained that in asking about high population Sydney suburbs, we didn’t count dead people. Because that’s a totally normal way to count population.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 17 December 2023

It’s that time of year. It’s Christmas movie time.

For your team name, we want you to imagine what a minor character in a Christmas film is thinking.

I’m unemployed because a high flying businesswoman fell in love with a small town guy in a Hallmark movie and the company went out of business

I think something is going on at the McCallister house

Arrest that child running past airport security with no boarding pass

I didn’t even want to be at my husband’s Christmas Party at Nakatomi Plaza, and now I’m a hostage

Any Christmas films from the point of view of a background character will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
