Well as some of us have seen a return to lockdown (or incresed restrictions) - I think it's high time to do another pub quiz!
The prize is a custom pub quiz trophy to adorn your profile! So have a watch, maybe a chuckle and a think.
You have until Sunday the 29th of November to message me with your answers!
Good luck!
Round #1 - Missing lines from comedy!
In this video there are 10 scenes from comedy movies or TV shows. Do you know what the line that has been blanked out is? (Doesn't have to be 100% exact, you get a point for the right gist)
Round#2 - Musicless music videos
In this video, the music has been lost in the edit for these pop songs, leaving only the original sounds recorded during the filming of the video! Can you tell who the artist is, and what the title of the missing song is? (1 point for each)
Round #3 - War
Just so the quiz is not all about pop culture, here are 10 questions about war! (no googling, you *narrows eyes*)
- Who wrote "the art of war" in the 5th century BC
- In WW2, US paratroopers and a British field army attempted to seize 9 bridges along the river Rhine, making a Salient into Axis held territory, disrupting their retreat and quickening the end to the war. What was the name of this operation?
- What name did the city of Saigon take following the Vietnam war?
- What is the race in the 40k universe that might be lead by a warboss?
- What crisis did the bay of pigs invasion spark?
- What is the name of a 1200 page classic novel by Leo Tolstoy (that might fit the theme of this quiz round)?
- Which island nation was ceded to the Ottoman empire following the Ottoman–Venetian War in 1570, annexed by the British in 1925, then invaded by Turkey in 1974 where it eventually captured 37% of the territory (including half of the captial city)?
- Who are the Roman, and greek gods of war? (2 points)
- Which war, fought from 1337 was over the right to rule the Kingdom of France? Bonus points if you can name the three main houses that this concerned.
- Which company developed the World of Warcraft?

He got 34 points. It was a really close thing in the end, but the quiz crown has now passed over to him! Congratulations! I'll be in touch about how you want your prize to be.
Thanks very much to everyone who entered. I hope you enjoyed it! :)

Well, I nailed the war round at least, so for once I seem to be representing the pseudo-Fremen position on a quiz: dim at the culture stuff but knows about how to wage destruction on your feeble "civilisations" with their puny "music videos" and "comedy". :)
-
Congrats Florp! I think i did better on this one, got most the war ones and i enjoyed the musicless videos. I'm kicking myself as I did know the ww2 question as my grandpa parachuted into Arnhem in operation market garden, but thats what i get for speed running my answers at 12am lol.
-
I think Market Garden was the only point I missed on that one... it was the musicless videos that 100% massacred me. Ah well, next time :)

Oh dear.
Well I did have another one of those ready I was thinking of deploying for the next one. They really amuse me, so I did a few of them.
Perhaps if you simply watched all music videos, then you will get top marks!

wow!

Congrats Florp!
Kicking myself I went for rap god instead of lose yourself, always get those mixed up despite their giant, startling and usually dichotomic differences in style, tempo and feeling.
The crown will be mine once again... just. you. wait. mwahahahahaha
