MRS. CRANKY JEOPARDY

Neither Mrs.
C nor I is very good at answering the questions on this show (technically
responding with questions to the answers…) but we still enjoy it. Every once in a while there is a category that
we can answer. Mrs. C made the point
that if she was on the show and was lucky enough to get the right categories, she
could easily become champion.
She is right
as usual. If only she could get on a
show with the right categories.
Alex Trebek: “OK
folks, welcome to “Mrs. Cranky Jeopardy” the game where we give the answers and
you ask the questions. These are today’s
categories”
Movie dialog – “That will be obscure dialog from any movie ever made.”
Name That Commercial – “There will be a two second blurb from a commercial, you will need to
name the product.”
Where are they now – “Here we name anyone from your grade school and you tell us where they
are now.”
What were you wearing when – “We will name a date and you have to know what you were wearing on that
day.”
Where is it in New Jersey –
“We name a starting point and a
destination and you need to give the correction directions.”
What car did they drive – “We name one of your
relatives and a year, and you tell us the model and make car they drove.”
“Our reigning champion Mrs. Cranky
will start it off.”
“’Where is it in New Jersey’ for 2000
Alex”
“Franks Pizzeria in Old Bridge from
New Brunswick”
EEEEH
“Mrs. Cranky.”
“What is rt. 18 south to Gordon Road
and turn left on Bank Street it is two building on the left next to a Shell station.”
"Oh, I'm sorry the station is an Exxon...wait, the judges say it used to be Exxon but is now a Shell station."
DING
“You are correct, next category.”
DING
“You are correct, next category.”
“’What were you wearing when’ for 500
Alex.”
“Nixon resigned.”
EEEH
“Mrs. Cranky”
“What was my Sesame Street footie PJ’s?”
DING

“’Movie dialog’ for 2000 Alex.”
“I-denticle!”

“You hit the Daily Double, how much do you want
to risk?”
“Let’s make it a true Daily Double
Alex.”
“OK, for $4500, 'Who are you…'”
“What is ‘Who are you talking to?’ The
Allstate Commercial!”
DING
Contestant #2 leaves her podium.
“Excuse me, Sally the MIT professor, where
are you going?”
“This is ridiculous! How does anyone know these questions. I’m outta here.”
Contestant #3 also walks off.
“Me too!”
“Wait Charles the brain surgeon, you
can’t just walk out.”
“Try and stop us!”
“Well I guess that is it, Mrs. Cranky
you remain the champion of “Mrs. Cranky Jeopardy! Tune in tomorrow folks when
we add a new category,"
Why is your husband a jerk? - "We give you a situation and you explain why your husband is a jerk."
"GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!"
Do dee do do dee do dee da DUMP ta DUMP DUMP DUMP tee Da
"GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!"
Do dee do do dee do dee da DUMP ta DUMP DUMP DUMP tee Da

I don't think we get that show here, but if we did I certainly wouldn't watch it. I don't need to feel any more stupid than I already am.
ReplyDeleteSesame Street footie pjs? That is a hoot! I could give Mrs. Cranky a run for the money on Name That Commercial, Where Are They Now, and What Was I Wearing. The last one is particularly helpful when you own clothes for decades and no one has still seen you in the same outfit twice,
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be neat if we could have them write questions for that which we are knowledgeable about? I would do well with the category "what happened on this day in your life years ago".
ReplyDeletebetty
Hubby would have to go with me on the show because between the two of us, we know all the useless information in the world. Love it, even when Alex is long-winded. The kids know not to phone when it is on!
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahaha. I don't watch game shows, but I'd watch this one. What a hoot it would be.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day Joe. ☺
very cute and obscure knowledge bank she has, there. :) i knew cousin vinny.
ReplyDeletei loved the snl skit with sean connery as a contestant where he repeatedly said, 'i don't like you, trebek!' :)
Over the years we've watched jeopardy off and on. We're currently back to watching. I'm a terrible player because my knowledge is very limited. I do well in History and Literature, and I kill at Art which comes up only occasionally and is often the last category picked. My Mrs. C. is a better player because she reads magazines and is much more knowledgeable about celebrities and current topics. We both suck in the sports and science categories.
ReplyDeleteMy friend claims she would win it all on Jeopardy if she only knew how to bet for final jeopardy.
ReplyDeleteI could easily beat Mrs C because I NEVER forget anythi...who's calling, please?
ReplyDeleteHeeheehee! Excellent job Mrs. Cranky would do!
ReplyDeleteAnd i'm still trying to figure out what it means that when i was pregnant with Bigger Girl, and watched Jeopardy most days, she would hiccup through the whole show. She did not hiccup on weekends at that same time of day, nor did she when i missed it. She would start as soon as the theme music came on, and hiccup until the final music was done.
Haven't watched in years, and she never really liked the show when she grew up. Wonder why?
Jeopardy is a very informative show. I learned a lot. I did not realize that Jeopardy has some fun moments.
ReplyDeleteWe watch Jeopardy most evenings but Mrs. C would definitely beat me out. I can ask maybe two questions in a game.
ReplyDeleteI feel very pleased with myself when I answer a question correctly.
ReplyDeleteOOH! Mrs. C needs the category where they show a picture, and it could be of her shopping list, and only she would know the answer!
ReplyDeleteI watch the show on and off, too. I really was hooked for a while when Ken Jennings had his famous winning streak. If it weren't for the fact that you have to hit the buzzer quickly, I might be good in a few categories. Like geography. But I have slow reflexes. I'd never win against Mrs. Cranky!
ReplyDeleteNot that's funny, I don't care who you are :)
