Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 24 August 2025

This week we’re going to fix ad slogans.

Plenty of slogans are inaccurate. Well your team names are going to fix that.

Tinder: Feel lonelier than ever

Red Bull gives you a headache and tastes terrible

The Irish backpaker my dad hired picks the fruit that goes to Cottee’s

Eat Fresh…ish

Tupperware: Throw your leftovers out next week instead

The debt you go into to buy this diamond is forever

Any ad slogans revamped for honesty will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

An opening question about first names of Simpsons characters was deemed “too hard” by a team who said they couldn’t think of a single Simpsons character. We gave them fairly obvious hints of detailed descriptions including “the guy who runs Moe’s Tavern” and they still couldn’t get any.

A team went from last place to first place, party because of the special subject.

We asked bout a famous writer with the initials WS, and instead of coming up with William Shakespeare, you know, the most famous writer of all time, four teams came up with Wilbur Smith.

And our leaders are still in the lead, but they’re going to have to keep winning to keep their spot.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 17 August 2025

Everyone likes feeling like they’re the best at something.

So for your team name, inspired by someone who described one of our hosts as “the most jacked trivia host I’ve ever seen” (which is a pretty low bar), your team name should be a set of criteria in which you would be at the top of the list.

If this quiz was just questions on the first season of Veronica Mars I’d clean up

Greater knowledge of Taylor Swift lyrics than an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon

Naming more stations on the New York subway than people who have never been to New York

Speaking Welsh better than anyone else on this bus

Stack the deck in your favour as much as you need, and tell us what specific thing you are best at.

Have an interesting week.
