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.

TEAM NAMES

Karen made a lot of appearances.

That’s not a Karen, THIS is a Karen.

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.

My name is Karen, and I will see the manager in this life or the next.

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.

A new player from Manchester identified himself as a music expert… and then didn’t know that The Smiths were formed in Manchester.

And someone answered a homework question on Japanese Prime Ministers… in Japanese.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We gave someone a point for answering Professor McGonagall on a question about Maggie Smith from Downton Abbey. Close enough.

One of our bonus questions asked about the weight in kg of a 200 pound man (which, as it happens, is the weight of one of our hosts.) Instead of dividing by 2.2, someone multiplied by 2.2 to come up with 440kg.

Instead of answering Lorde, someone said Randy Marsh.

A dilemma question on the ethics of wearing budgie smugglers away from the beach resulted in one team going against their personal view because they thought everyone else wouldn’t see it their way. They were wrong, and screwed themselves out of a point.

Matt Damon was confused for Matt Demon.

A player from overseas who knows nothing about Australian sport managed to figure out that Jean Holes is an anagram of John Eales. Yes, sometimes you can get a sport question by knowing other things.

We asked for words beginning with “van”, and someone came up with “vandetta”. Which we presume is a vendetta against people who drive vans.

And instead of saying Reel 2 Real, one team answered that the song “I Like To Move It” was performed by “the Lemurs from Madagascar.”

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

An Australian managed to beat a quiz full of Canadians on a question about Canadian Prime Ministers.

A dilemma question turned on two Scottish influenced teams being willing to accept a week of constant bagpipes being played in exchange for $10,000.

We played “Better Be Home Soon” by Crowded House. The only player who knew it was born after it was released, and was raised in Belgium. Not only was she the only one who recognised it, she recognised it when we played it BACKWARDS!

See you next week.

When reading out the answers, we meant to say Morgan Evans (the guy who performed the song “Day Drunk”) but instead our brain corrected it to Morgan Freeman.

We heard half of the room trying to sing All Star by Smash Mouth really quickly to try to figure out how many times a certain word came up in the lyrics.

We asked a question about anagrams of Olympic gold medallist Sally Pearson, and someone from overseas who had no idea who Sally Pearson was, managed to crack the anagram anyway.

There was extensive commentary on the creepyness of King Triton’s nipples in The Little Mermaid.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about actors in a clip we played of Moana, one player identified Alan Tudyk as the rooster.  We listened again, and sure enough you could hear him making rooster noises.  And that sufficiently obscure to warrant a bonus point.

If you’re a veteran player you probably know that on a bonus question, you get only one guess if the answer is a number. One player guessed twice, and we were all set to add one to their total when it was brought to our attention that their winning guess was their second guess.

Things said in our Challenge Quiz: “I forgot six was a number.”

The sequel to 300 was 301.

A Belgian got a question on Belgian beer wrong.

One of our hosts was mistaken for Jason Statham.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team answered a bonus question with “Eric Banner”, and a split second later someone else answered with “Eric Bana”. And right when we thought we were about to have an argument on our hands, the first respondent admitted “no im wrong, im an idiot”. Take note people. THAT is how to act when you’re wrong. Not whinging about how “it’s close enough and you know what I meant.”

When you google the homework question, you can’t just take the answer Google spits out at you. You may have to actually click on a link instead of reading a list of Vietnamese Provinces and naming the first four without checking to see they are the largest by area.

We listed a bunch of notable people, including Princess Diana and asked what they all had in common. Someone said they all died in “accidents”.

We hosted a corporate show for a company making kitchen appliances, and in the bonus lightning round, we wound up eliminating one team when they failed to identify a freezer as a device paired with a refrigerator that keeps food very cold. Whether someone was fired afterwards, we really can’t say.

And iQ Trivia is back to playing in venues again… sort of. One of our teams this week went back to their local at To All My Friends in Canberra, and played online trivia IN the pub.

We do hope to see more of this, and to get back to live trivia soon.

See you next week.
