  1. Ok..... How about "The Hangover???"
  2. Was this from "Wonder Woman 1985"????
  3. It rings a bell, but it might even if I've never seen that moment.
  4. "WIN Ben Stein's Money." Whenever someone answered in the form of a question, Ben would look shocked, and shout "No! This isn't 'Jeopardy'!" There's a dunce cap in the props, sitting on a bust that's also wearing sunglasses. That's the dunce cap that's taken and put on the answerer. When Jimmy Kimmel co-hosted, he occasionally warned that contestant that, if they did it again, they'd put the pointed hat somewhere else.
  5. They were thinking of making it the official state song. Robert Wuhl had some fun mulling that over, considering the lyrics. "In the day, we sweat it out on the streets Of a runaway American dream At night, we ride through mansions of glory In suicide machines." He talked about how few anthems contained the word "suicide." "*hums La Marseillaise* su-i-cide..."
  6. OK, game shows again. Name any to take the round, name more than one for bragging rights. A) WIth one game show, the key was to find connections between one word and another, and get from one word to a completely unrelated word- by going through all the unrelated words in-between, with each word connected both to the word preceding it and the word following it. B) One of the features of this game show was, if you accidentally answered a trivia question in the form of a question, they passed you a dunce-cap to wear for the rest of the round. In the final round, one of the hosts usually offered the contestant the hope that he'd beat his opponent thoroughly in the final "best of 10". That's because his opponent was not another contestant, it was the other host! C) I've now put three shows up for guessing. At least 2 game shows took place in supermarkets. Concerning this one, it's primarily a cooking competition. (What are you waiting for? The clock started!) This one starts with 4 cooks, either amateur or professional, who have a timed cooking challenge. Generally, there's a theme they have to adhere to for the round, as well as limitations on what can be used. In each case, the contestant begins by moving through the supermarket to get their ingredients before they can start cooking. All of that's on the same timer, and ingredients are subject to availability, so a popular ingredient that round could actually run out. Challenges could include a limited number of ingredients, a limited number of aisles to get ingredients, or a limited budget for the prices (that round included a cashier and a handout of sales.) This show was hosted by the same host as "Triple-D" , that is, "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives." Despite the title, it took place in a full-sized supermarket, not something smaller. D) This show has been described as being like having "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" take place in the back of a taxi. It was usually hosted by comedian Ben Bailey. Once you requested a destination in the taxi, he revealed you were on a game show. He would ask questions all the way to your destination. If you answered them all, you won the money. If you got stuck, you could use two shout-outs, pulling over and asking a single pedestrian, or phoning a single person. If you missed three questions, he pulled over wherever he was and let you out without the money (but not having paid for the partial ride in a yellow taxi.) Finally, if you made it to your destination without striking out, he offered you the chance to go double-or-nothing on a single question with a video clip. If you got it right, you doubled your winnings, if you got it wrong, you only won the free ride. (It was optional and not everyone took it.) If you had a long ride, you could potentially make a lot of money on one taxi ride... which probably inspired the show's name. (This show has had more than 1 version, including one that took place in another city.)
  7. For a time, the Powers That Be for the state of New Jersey examined local boy Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." They were considering bestowing a certain honor on it. Which one?
  8. "Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine"
  9. Team America World Police????

  12. "They can't stop us. We're on a mission from God."
  13. *checks* Human without the Bean is being generous with me. In the newer "Casino Royale", Bond was asked if he wanted his martini "shaken or stirred." His reply was "Do I look like I give a damn?" I thought the drink was offered "shaken not stirred". Apparently, H w/o Bean judged it close enough to count, which was nice of him. On the other hand, now it's my turn again, let's see....
  14. The Moody Blues, "Question." (I remember the band first, then this song's name.)
  15. If that's not it, is it "Dennis the Menace???"
  16. "You here to make fun of me too? " No, ma'am. We at the FBI do not have a sense of humor we're aware of. May we come in? "Sure." "Did he say anything to you? "Yeah, that the world is coming to an end." "Did he say when?" "You chose me... so you recognized the skills, so I don't want nobody calling me son or kid or sport or nothing like that, cool?" "Gentlemen, congratulations. You're everything we've come to expect from years of government training. Now please step this way, as we provide you with our final test: an eye exam..."
