Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 23 February 2025

The concept of the deepfake has recently emerged.

That’s fake videos that look real.

For your team name this week, we want you to propose a deepfake that is so unlikely, nobody would believe it.

Kim Jong-un: I’ve got a really dumb haircut

Taylor Swift: Cats are overrated

Elon: I’m really not as smart as people think

Jennifer Aniston: I really regret accepting that role on Friends

Kanye: I’ve converted to Judaism

Come up with a deepfake so implausible that nobody would believe it for a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We quoted Sam Kerr’s statement after her acquittal, and someone thought it was Donald Trump. Ohhhhhh dear. Not even close!

When we played It’s A Wonderful Life, one player who is about 50 years younger was thrilled, noting that it’s his favourite movie and that he can’t watch it without breaking down. So much for “before my time”.

What’s the national anthem of Australia? We had guesses of Down Under by Men at Work, and You’re the Voice by John Farnham.

And we still have one team that has won every week and leads our quarterly tournament.
