MRS. CRANKY JEOPARDY

I am a big fan of the TV quiz show “Jeopardy.” I even kinda like the host Alex Trebek. He is annoying but entertaining in a train wreck sort of way.
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, you need to name the movie.”
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.”
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
“That is correct, next category.”
“’Movie dialog’ for 2000 Alex.”
“I-denticle!”
EEEH
“Mrs. Cranky”
“ ‘My Cousin Vinny’ It was the prosecuting attorney”
“That is correct, next category.”
“’Name that commercial’ for 600 Alex.”
Ding Ding Ding
“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…'”
EEEH
Mrs. Cranky
“What is ‘Who are you talking to?’ Jake from State Farm!”
DING
“That is correct"
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 me!”
“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
Applause applause applause
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE. BE SAFE!
Got my laugh in this morning. Love it.
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahahahahahaha. Love this. If only it would come true.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
You were very creative here. My only concern is who is the judge that verifies the answer?
ReplyDeleteNow this is super funny! Love it! I would bomb every category except: "What was your weight" (give any year and day since birth).
ReplyDeleteMrs Cranky has ALL the answers. Happy July 4.
ReplyDeleteHa! We also watch Jeopardy and as I get older I seem to know less. I'm good at a few categories, such as Art, and on the rare occasions when that category shows up contestants are very hesitant to select it.
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious. You got me there.
ReplyDeleteThis cracked me up. I should ask my husband and kids what categories I'd be good at. It would be a hoot for them!
ReplyDeleteWow she is good. Too funny Cranky and it they ever get those categories, she is the new Ken Jennings.
ReplyDeleteThis one's gotta go into your Cranky Classics Collection!
ReplyDeleteGood one!
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny!
ReplyDeleteI thought Jeopardy was that bit on Saturday Night Live, with Sean Connery and Burt Reynolds. No?
ReplyDeleteI love it! I would SO watch that version! Now we need to know YOUR categories. How about "Say Yes to the Dress" questions--I mean answers...
ReplyDeleteHappy Independence Day! Everyone needs to create their own Jeopardy answers/questions.
ReplyDeleteLoved it Joe, that was too good.
ReplyDeleteYou and Mrs. Cranky are just too funny.
ReplyDeleteThat's very funny, especially the other contestants giving up and walking away.
ReplyDeleteI've watched My Cousin Vinny several times and I NEVER would have picked it as the answer from I-denticle.
Mrs. Cranky is brilliant, but you knew that!!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha A funny post on this celebration day.
ReplyDeleteshe won and hope you are satisfied with all her spontaneous answers hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI lost $728,000.00 on Jeopardy. It's okay, Alex is letting me make payments.
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE Jeopardy in our house and always have competitions. To date, I am the reigning Queen of Jeopardy but my oldest definitely gives me a run for my money. I don't know about going against Mrs. C tho.. :D
ReplyDeleteMy hat's off to that lady :)
