Pop Culture Yay

Up first: Fat Guys in Little Coats (FGiLC) v. Women Who Think They’re Superhot, I mean Team Motherboy (TM)

Team Motherboy members are all wearing name necklaces a la Carrie Bradshaw

First category: Let’s Play the Feud (celebrity squabbles)

Questions about Rosie v. Donald, Simon v. Ryan, T.R. Knight, OMG A Firecrotch question!! And it’s tied 2-2

Uh oh, Team Motherboy loses Round 1 by incorrectly answering a question about the reconciliation between Jay-Z and Nas.

ROUND 1: FGiLC

Round 2: Scary Movies in a Nutshell (summaries of movies, you ID the title)

Lots of classics, including Child’s Play, The Ring, The Fly (I missed it) and The Amityville Horror (I missed it)

Oh! Both players swept the category. TIE BREAKERS! They have to provide answers until someone can’t answer or doesn’t answer correctly…name the 20 films nominated for Best Animated Oscar…how many can you name? They’re doing pretty well…Oh no! The player from FGiLC said Flushed Away, when I was very clearly yelling “SAY MONSTERS INC!!” Why don’t they listen to me? This round goes to Team Motherboy.

ROUND 2: TM

9:14 Commercials! (Mark should watch a preview for this movie “Hot Rod”)

TGI Friday’s commercial…I’m checking my feed reader.

9:17 We’re back! Round 3: Commercial jingles…How ’bout if I give you a few ?s and you see how you’d do?

Almond Joy’s got nuts….[ ] don’t (fill in the blank)

What product was intended for people who dare wear short shorts?

Kiss a little longer…hold tight a little longer…stay close a little longer, longer with [what kind of gum]?

FGiLC missed one, TM missed one…TIE BREAK! Name characters in the pilot episode of Lost. I have no idea. There are 16…CAN YOU NAME THEM?

OK the way this works is that each time a team loses a round, the player who was up during that round is out, giving the teams fewer players to choose from in 1-on-1 competition in each successive round.

ROUND 3: TM (I think I’m on the Team Motherboy bandwagon right now…)

Round 4: Looney Tunes (Provide the title of a song that relates to mental instability given year and a lyric)

FGiLC down to one player!

This is a hard one to live blog

1983 Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night/Lookin’ for the fight of her life…

1978 Just get me to the airport put me on a plane hurry hurry hurry before I go insane…

Team Motherboy totally rocked this one.

ROUND 4: TM

Team Motherboy wins the match-up and advances to the Quarterfinals

NEXT MATCH-UP: The White Russians (TWR) v. Remo-Leen-Teen-Teen (RLTT)

ROUND 1: RLTT

Round 2: Pop Hits of the ’80s

1983 We are young heartache to heartache we stand no promises no demands

The White Russians player can’t identify “When Doves Cry” and says that she doesn’t know it because she was too young when it came out…what? Lindsay, do you know that song?

ROUND 2: RLTT

Round 3: Physical Challenge (Actors who went to great lengths for their roles)

TWR are down to one player

Linda Hamilton trained 3 hours a day for what movie?

Salma Hayek sported a fake unibrow for what movie?

Ed Norton. Swastika. Shaved head. Name the movie.

OMG! I think they rolled the commercials too early! OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!

OK the commercials weren’t cued early, just oddly timed

TIE BREAK: Actors who portrayed “The Fellowship” in “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.” Name them!

ROUND 3: RLTT

RLTT takes the match and moves on.

And that’s it! Fastest hour ever.

PS: AAAH!!! Extended premiere for what looks like an INCREDIBLE TV show. Rock of Love with Bret Michaels. AMAZING.
