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.
