Flamboyant Chimney

Spooky Cassowary

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team at an online show was the only one to get the gambler’s question right, and they only got it right because the scribe overruled the rest of the team.

Once in a while you come across statements in the middle of the quiz that would be absurd or offensive in any other context. A player saying “yay Hitler” when Hitler was the answer to a question is one of those moments.

We asked for AFL clubs that wear the colour white, and one team asked if “under the nose” counted. Well if you mean what we thin you mean… then no.

In addition to their answer of “testicles”, one team drew a pair of testicles, perhaps assuming that our host might forget how to read.

We asked a question about the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, and five minutes later, the musician outside started playing Bohemian Rhapsody.

One team thought a picture question on Die Hard was either an easy three points or nothing. But sure enough, one team got Die Hard, Bruce Willis, but couldn’t remember John McClane. HOW DO YOU FORGET JOHN MCCLANE and all he did to protect the innocent people at Nakatomi Plaza?

See you next week.

In more than one instance, the winners were the team that had chosen the last place subject. It makes a real difference.

Common words beginning with UN? How about ultra, urine, and never as suggested by one team. (It does pay to listen to the questions.)

One of our hosts at one point found himself explaining anatomy to a team, before realising they were nurses.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about a world class soccer player, one team came up with… “that other bastard, you know, the one that isn’t Ronaldo.”

The egg & spoon race is part of a triathlon.

A question on the most common words ending with DLE led one team to the word “fondle”. Which probably says something about them.

And a bonus question on sexual arousal really gave us a frankly disturbing window into what our players are into. Before someone thought of music, melolagnia was guessed to be a state of sexual arousal brought on by sunburns, feet, having a tongue in your ear, pictures of your grandparents, and urine. Some of you people are freaks!

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about the most common words beginning with “bro”, and a LOT of teams went for brothel. Which might indicate something about our players.

A dilemma question on a hypothetical fight between a UFC champion and a pack of Justin Biebers showed us that most of you just want to see half a dozen Justin Biebers get their collective asses kicked.

And one of our winner came in with a 79 point win, largely because they enlarged their team to have some “young uns”. Diversity helps your trivia team people!

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A bonus question asked for days of the week in Portuguese. One team gave us the answer… in Spanish. But luckily for them, Saturday & Sunday are the same in both.

One of our bonus questions restricted players to one guess each. The closest guess went to one player, who went on to guess three more times. So we announced that they would have gotten a point if they had just stopped there, but they played themselves.

We gave players a choice between answering a question on video games or cold war countries. Dance Dance Revolution was more popular as an answer than Deutsche Demokratische Republik by a margin of 13-3.

One team misnamed the film 127 Hours as 27 Hours, and then pointed out that he could have saved himself 100 hours or torment.

Seven Nation Army was misremembered as Southern Nation Army. No, The White Stripes weren’t a Civil War based band.

See you next week.

The Oscar Wilde quote “we’re all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars” was, according to one team, from High School Musical.

One of our teams said with their team name that they were afraid of Ronald McDonald… and then we asked this picture question about an early version of Ronald McDonald.

A number of teams thought this picture was from Forrest Gump.

Which would have been a VERY different movie.

One team knew a disturbing amount about how to survive a grenade blast.

The title of one of Barry White’s songs was given as “I want to f*ck you all night”, which, to be fair, is the gist of most Barry White songs.

(That’s the first result we came across when we googled “slutty seven”.)

A question on low lying places resulted in us having to clarify that we meant now, not in 100 years if sea levels change.

Our current events question on the Belgian woman banned from the zoo for having an emotional affair with a chimpanzee drew an answer of her giving the chimp marijuana.  No, that’s the Netherlands right next door.

Our bonus round asking for countries in the southern hemisphere ending in the letter A had a maximum bid of 19 (in about four bids) which resulted in a score of 9, and a bid of 16 that resulted in a score of 2, which is mathematically the worst performance we’ve ever had in the bidding round.

Who was meant to play Hagrid? The Rock, at least according to one team. (That would have been interesting.)

Shakespeare plays beginning the letter M… how about Mamlet, Momeo and Muliet, Married At First Sight, and the Mandalorian.
