INTERESTING MOMENTS

A new player identified Switzerland as one of her strengths in trivia. Not European geography in general, but specifically Switzerland. As it happens, one of the picture questions was a silhouette of Switzerland… which she failed to identify. This is why you should never say you’re really good at something. You just look like a fool if you’re wrong.

A question on fashion brands resulted in no less than three teams checking out the Levis logo on a teammate’s jeans. And the question wasn’t even about Levis.

One team predicted they would finish in 5^th place. And then finished in… 5^th place, which is impressively accurate when there are 9 teams.

And we heard someone describe a teammate as a nerd. Now let’s be clear. Anyone who comes to one of our shows is voluntarily taking an exam on a weeknight. NOBODY gets to use the word “nerd” as an insult. We depend on nerds for our whole business model.

See you next week.

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

WINNERS

TEAM NAMES

Humans do odd things. Here’s what the first person to do odd things thought.

I’m going to close one eye and open it again really quickly in the direction of the object of my affection to let them know I am attracted to them. It may also work to demonstrate I am making a joke.

I was thirsty so I decided to yank on the pink undercarriage of a cow.

Sure I’ll marry you. I’d love to have the same name as your mother.

Time for some dirty hot leaf water.

I just cooked you bread. Cook it again.

Welcome to Finland where we sit in REALLY hot rooms while completely naked.

I’ll dress my baby in pink so people know how to react.

I can’t get aroused. Beat me with a leather paddle.

I’m going to ask how you’re going and not listen to the answer.

My mother birthed me, so now I annually gather with loved ones.

What’s that snotty thing in the shell? I think I’ll call it an oyster.

I think I’ll eat that thing that came out of that chicken’s butt.

That’s a nice bird. I’ve got the perfect cage for it.

I’m gonna pat this wolf.

Yum yum, scrambled chicken period.

If I stomp on these grapes, will I get drunk?

My grape juice has gone bad! Oh wait, it’s gone GOOD!

The homework question is usually too tough to get without looking it up. But one team complained that it was too easy, because they knew it all without looking it up. (So we gave them a bonus point. Obscure knowledge pays off.)

See you next week.

What makes Australians swear the most? The actual answer was driving. But we had to give points to teams that said “assembling IKEA furniture” and “greeting friends”.

We asked a gambler’s question about how long it take mammals to urinate. Some of you tried to test it in the few minutes between the gambler’s question & the end of round two.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Every team got a question on French Presidents, except for the one team with an ACTUAL French person.

We played Livin’ on a Prayer in a medieval style. People still sung along.

And we had to break a tie when one team answered with “rock paper scissors” like they did when playing “rock paper scissors lizard Spock” on Big Bang Theory and another answered with “scissors paper rock”. Normally you get credit for that, but not when it’s a tie at the end of the night.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Our bonus question on French expressions for hangovers was answered very quickly… by a Frenchman.

On a question about countries with large populations that are spelled with the letters TA, that Antarctica was incorrect, because it’s not a country, and even if it was, it’s population isn’t all that high.

And as always, we saw people arguing intensely about the gambler’s question, when not one of them knew the answer. But their confidence was impressive.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team was all set to guess wrong on a jackpot question, before they reconsidered, concluding that their first instinct was too obvious to be a jackpot answer. Turns out they were right.

When we asked about how long you would survive on planets other than Earth, one team told us that was a silly question. Hey, that’s our speciality!

And one team came up short of first prize by a single point… after forgetting to make a choice on the dilemma question. Dammit people! These are really basic mistakes!

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We got complaints that we weren’t asking any English questions… you know, at a trivia night in Australia. They didn’t seem to care for our remark that literally all of the questions were in English.

If you suck at using your inside voice, you’re going to give away answers. Lots of them.

We witnessed two teammates arguing bitterly about who was right on a question about countries bordering Austria. Turn out both of them were wrong.

And we had a theme to our picture questions with all of them being movies & TV series filmed in the same cafe. After the second question, someone announced to the whole room “hey these are all in the same cafe.” Which meant everyone got our question on whether they were all filmed in the same place or not.

Sometimes you really need to remember to keep your mouth shut. 

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS 

When we asked about Italian cheeses versus Italian rivers, one played of Italian descent managed to get all three, and as his teammates reminded him, he “got to keep his Italian card”.

Countries spelled using the letter V? We got Bavaria & the Soviet Union, which at least used to be countries. We also got Ibiza, which isn’t a country now, wasn’t a country in the past, and doesn’t contain the letter V.

Who played Dracula in the 1958 film? Betty White according to one team. (It would explain why she lived so long.)

See you next week.
