INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we announced that a bonus question was about chemistry, one player chimed in that his years in a meth lab might finally pay off… and then he got it right.

One team gambled π÷2 points on the gambler’s question, and wound up with 47.429205 points.

When we announced that the next question was on Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, one of our online players informed us that “we had a team member almost choke on her champagne she got so excited there.”

One team who knew nothing about sports teams based in Florida managed to guess the Miami Heat as a basketball team, and also went with the Miami Pugs, the Miami Dildos, and the Miami MILFs.

And someone caught a (not so) sneaky photo of one of our hosts doing our first show at Siren Bar in Gungahlin.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We were having a chat with one of our players who was an Italian immigrant, and as it turned out, the next question was a three point question on Italian words.

We found out that one of our players is related to either Bonnie & Clyde, or Charles Manson… but we never found out who.

And despite picking Hamilton as their special subject, one team admitted to never watching it. Perhaps they meant to in the last week. Never mind. “You’ll be back.”

See you next week.

A question on the fat content of a packet of Tim Tams resulted in guesses ranging from 3% to 800% of your daily recommended fat intake. So as far as you are concerned, they are either a health food, or they will cause a cardiac arrest if you look at them too long.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Quotes from when we played Radar Love by Golden Earring… “Oh my God, it finally pays off to know that song” – Anisa.

When answering a question on Disney films, one team put Snow White twice. Perhaps because they thought it was so monumental that it warranted a repeat. It was right, but only right once.

A question about the abolition of slavery prompted one player to say that getting rid of slavery was “political correctness gone mad”… sarcastically. Or at least we hope it was said sarcastically.

And someone who answered a question on the Oort cloud surrounding our solar system answered with a link to a paper they wrote about the Oort cloud. Sometimes a question really is made for you.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A team of Scotsmen didn’t know that the “border” in border collie is the Scottish border.

We asked about the Vanessa Carleton song A Thousand Miles, and someone came up with 500 miles. Perhaps they thought Vanessa was only half as committed to their relationship.

After asking about common words ending in ITH, we had to explain that Smith is a word. “But it’s a proper noun” they said… yes… and it’s also a word.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about painters whose names became terms describing full figured women. The answer one team came up with? PicASSo.

At one show, EVERY team gambled five points, and EVERY team went with the same wrong answer. We may as well not have asked it at all.

We asked one of our picture questions, and one veteran team asked “are you going to play the clip?” No, you see, we play clips for the audio questions. For the picture questions you look at the pictures. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to get the picture questions if you don’t.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked for the characters in Jurassic Park that said the most lines, and one team proposed “the T-Rex”. Well, we didn’t specify human characters.

Auto-complete can be tricky when playing trivia online. Especially when your answer to a question on Charles Dickens is “A Tale of Two Citruses”.

And because we had to cancel a live show the morning of the show, at the replacement online show we awarded 100 bonus points to the team that made a point of booking a table at the cancelled, to thank them for doing their part to keep trivia going. If you’re planning to attend one of our live shows, MAKE SURE YOU BOOK A TABLE!

See you next week.

I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100% Karen!

One Karen to rule them all.

Nobody expects the Karen inquisition.

Nobody puts Karen in the corner.

Not the Karen we deserved but the Karen we needed.

Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Karen anymore.

Karen, I am your father.

I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a Karen.

It’s raining cats and Karens.

Here’s looking at you Karen.

So Joey, have you ever seen a grown Karen naked?

I’ve had it with the m*th*r f*ck*ng Karen’s on this m*th*r f*ck*ng plane!

This is not the Karen you’re looking for.

The greatest trick Karen ever pulled was convincing the world she didn’t exist.

Citizen Karen.

Karenfornication

Say hello to my little Karen!

I’m gonna make Karen an offer she can’t refuse.

Frankly Karen, I don’t give a damn.

You can’t handle the Karen!

You must be the change you wish to see in the Karen.

I’m mad as Karen and I am not going to take this anymore!

You shall not Karen!

One small step for a man, one giant leap for Karen.

Release the Karen.

Karen, we have a problem.

You’re gonna need a bigger Karen.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team heard a metal rendition of Camilla Cabello’s hit song Havana and asked to hear it again. Not because they didn’t know it, just because they liked it so much.

Someone mixed up Rage Against The Machine with Nickelback.

A number of teams got a homework questions wrong because they went with the answer that came up on Google without actually looking any further. We’re never trying to trick you, but there is always an unambiguous answer, even if it’s not the first Google result.

And in the realm of dropping the ball on easy questions… beginning with the letter K, the substance that kills Superman is Korean food.

Also, the race of short hairy beings in Lord of the Rings beginning with the letter D… was hobbits. LISTEN TO THE DAMN QUESTION PEOPLE!

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team came up with a new policy for the times the came in last and chose the last place subject. If you choose the subject, the rest of the team expects you to get everything on that subject right. If you get something wrong, you buy a round. It’s a good policy.

We knew we were in for a long night at one venue when we had to explain what the word “fictional” meant.

According to one team, Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea was actually written by Harold Holt.

We asked for the most common word ending in IST… and got a minor flood of guesses of “racist”. A sign of the times perhaps?

Someone knew very little about Natalie Portman films but they were good with anagrams, and so they managed to turn A Nightstand Escort into The Standing Croats (rather than No Strings Attached.)

When asked about what a certain type of starfish eats, one team went with coral pussy coral pussy coral and wound up being right.

And the Silence of the Lambs was given as The Silence of the Labs.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked a question about suburbs containing the letter Z, and someone who lives in Rozelle didn’t answer “Rozelle”. Instead, they went with “Brighton Le Zandz”.

There was a lot of mirth over us using the acronym CBF is a way that was in no way dirty.

And when we announce your team name as Race Riots, even though it fits our weekly theme, you might want to avoid cheering too much.

See you next week.
