Questions by the Tulane University Krewe of Quiz Bowl
TOSS-UPS
1. This song appears with “Train of Thought” and “The Sun Always Shines on T.V.” as a track on the album
Hunting High and Low. A 1999 cover of this song appeared on the album Why Do They Rock So Hard? as well
as the soundtrack to BASEketball. That version by Reel Big Fish came 24 years after the original version of this
song was a number-one hit in the U.S. but not in its band’s home country of Norway. This song’s music video
features a series of pencil drawings and the band’s lead singer being chased by some comic book figures on
motorcycles. Stating, “we’re talking away; I don’t know what I’m to say” and “I’ll be gone in a day or two,” this is,
FTP, what 1985 hit by A-ha?
ANSWER: “Take On Me” (do not accept “Take Me On”)
2. Two of this network’s stars are members of the Best Friends Gang, which was based in its corporate
headquarters when it performed a long con with Carvel birthday cakes. One of those personalities on this
network recently starred as a judge on America’s Kidz Got Singing with D’Fwan and John McEnroe, who also
hosted the pilot episode of a game show that saw contestants guess which briefcase was filled with gold. Criticized
for its disastrous salute to fireworks, this network fabricated its coverage of Olympic events such as synchronized
running and tetherball, a fact that was once discovered by one of its pages. The benefit concert Kidney Now! and
SeinfeldVision each ran for one night on this network, and it has found success with programs such as Makin’ It
Happen and MILF Island. Recently merged with KableTown, this is, FTP, what TV network that is located at 30
Rockefeller Plaza?
ANSWER: NBC
3. The selections of Jonny Flynn and Ty Lawson after this player confused many NBA fans, as it seemed
strange that the same team would draft three players at the same position in the first round. That team that
drafted this player was only allowed to pay $500,000 of the buyout that would be necessary to free him from his
contract with DVK Joventut. That contract issue was somewhat resolved when he signed a new contract with a
team in his home country, only to later leave that team and make his NBA debut in December 2011. He scored a
career-high 22 points on February 19th against the 76ers and was considered a contender for Rookie of the Year,
leading many to joke that he had “found Love in a hopeless place.” The first player born in the 1990s to be drafted
by the NBA, this is, FTP, what Spanish-born guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves?
ANSWER: Ricky Rubio
4. Earlier this year, this man slapped a homeless person who insulted his wife outside a restaurant. He starred
as the commander of a Polish parachute brigade in A Bridge Too Far twenty-one years before he voiced the
sinister General Mandible in Antz. Other roles for this actor include a sadistic sheriff in Clint Eastwood’s
Unforgiven, fast-draw champion John Herrod in The Quick and the Dead, and a role in a 1967 movie in which he
played the brother of Warren Beatty’s character that netted him an Oscar nomination. He was nominated for another
Academy Award in 1974 for his role in The Conversation, and he won the award for his portrayal of NYPD
Detective Popeye Doyle in 1971. FTP, who is this actor that played Lex Luthor in Superman, Washington Sentinels
coach Jimmy McGinty in The Replacements, and ex-president Eagle Monroe in Welcome to Mooseport?
ANSWER: Gene Hackman
5. A “Jazzercise” sticker is seen on this artist’s guitar in the music video for his second single, which also
features the artist washing a car’s window with a flaming sponge. He was featured on the track “Silk Pillow”
by rapper Childish Gambino, which he also produced. In 2008, he produced an album that includes the songs
“Youthless” and “Chemtrails”. That album, Modern Guilt, had a more straightforward rock sound than many of his
previous efforts, including the album Mellow Gold. A single from that album by this musician contains the the
German lyric “Sprechen sie Deutsch, baby?” as well as the Spanish lyric “Soy un perdedor.” The cover of another
album by this man features a dog jumping a hurdle, and it includes the tracks “Devil’s Haircut” and “Where It’s At.”
FTP, who is this artist behind the hit songs “Loser” and “E-Pro”?
ANSWER: Beck Hansen (accept either underlined answer)
6. In one appearance, a character comments that the character Igor was “probably a merchant before he
became” one of these creatures. That game also sees a green one of these that uses a fan as her primary
weapon. In another appearance, these creatures appear primarily in the hotel-themed world, and the “big” one of
these creatures can be defeated by being forced to eat chili peppers. In a mid-‘90s game the nature of these creatures
forces the player to ricochet eggs off of walls as they cannot be hit when the player is facing them directly. Using
these creatures in Mario Kart 64 allows the player to become invisible and steal an item from a nearby player. The
boardwalk stage from the “Special Cup” of that game is themed after these creatures. FTP, what are these that have
long tongues and hide their faces when looked at, primarily enemies from the Super Mario franchise?
ANSWER: Boos
7. A spin-off of this show that aired for one season on CBS was set in the year 2200 and strangely saw none of
the characters age. A dog named Simone appeared for two seasons of this show as a member of the titular
group, while a “new” version of it appeared on VH1 in 2004 with Emma Stone as Laurie. A star of this show
controversially appeared nude on the cover of a 1972 issue of Rolling Stone, while another learned the bass guitar
chords for one of its songs “Doesn’t Someboy Want to Be Wanted.” Other songs from this show were “I Think I
Love You” and its opening theme “C’Mon Get Happy.” The title sequence of this show features a cartoon version
of the namesake bird hatching from an egg, and it made stars of David Cassidy and Danny Bonaduce. FTP, what is
this former sitcom about the musical career of a widowed mother and her five children?
ANSWER: The Partridge Family

Parker, the samurai sword-wielding protagonist of Blind Fury. He also famously played the title character in 1986’s
The Hitcher. His career saw a resurgence in this century with roles as the ruthless businessman Earle in Batman

After winning the 1988 Davey O'Brien award, he was highly hyped and ended up the number-one draft pick
in 1989, but his team went on to select Steve Walsh in the supplemental draft later that year. They also hired
Walsh's college coach from the University of Miami. This man went 0-11 as a starter in his first season, but made
the playoffs in his third season and won his first Super Bowl in his 4th. This quarterback would later be coached by
the man who coached him at the University of Oklahoma, Barry Switzer. FTP, who this quarterback who won 3
Super Bowls alongside Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith while playing for the Dallas Cowboys?
ANSWER: Troy Aikman
10. This character has gone through a lot recently: in 2006, a superpowered Illuminati deemed him a threat
to Earth and shot him into space. He landed on the wartorn planet of Sakaar, where he was force to fight in
gladiatorial battles, went from lowly combatant to emperor of Sakaar, and returned to Earth with his warbound
brothers, only for his second wife, Caiera, to be murdered. Betty Ross, his first wife, is poisoned and cryogenically
frozen before being revived and transformed into a red version of this character. His most notable nemeses are The

Mark Ruffalo have played this character onscreen. FTP, who is this character known to become green with rage and

ANSWER: The Hulk (do not accept “Bruce Banner”)
11. In what is arguably this woman's finest music video, she dresses up in a literal interpretation of her song's
lyrics, donning costumes such as a killer bee, a mathematician, and a pediatrician. That song is "Konichiwa
Bitches". Her first album was titled [This Artist] is Here and it included the tracks “Do You Know (What It
Takes),” “Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect)”, and “You’ve Got That Somethin.’” A video surfaced online
of SNL's Taran Killam perfectly replicating the elaborate dance from the music video for this artist's song "Call your
Girlfriend". Though this artist has long dominated the Swedish pop charts, it was only in 2010 with her single
"Dancing On My Own" that she charted in America and garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording.
FTP, who is this pop star most well known for trilogy of Body Talk albums?
ANSWER: Robyn
12. Recent Hall of Fame inductees for this profession include Donald Pierce and Randy Romero, who once
suffered career-threatening injuries in a freak sauna fire. Kathy Kusner is credited with ushering in the
modern era for women in this profession in the United States, and apprentices at it are sometimes called “bug
boys” because the asterisk that appears next to their names in programs look like bugs. Aside from the obvious risk
of bone fractures, concussions, and trampling, many people in this profession suffer from dehydration and anorexia
due to the enormous pressure to keep their weight down. Following complaints from the United Nations, robots
replaced children as these in Middle Eastern camel races in 2005. FTP, what is this horseracing profession usually
practiced by relatively small individuals?
ANSWER: jockey
13. An episode of Frasier set during this holiday sees Frederick endure a number of minor injuries, including
a nosebleed after Niles hits him in the face with the refrigerator door. It’s not Chanukah, but an Adam
Sandler song named for this holiday includes the lines “can’t believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry” and “fifty
million Elvis fans can’t be wrong.” The closing of a Stockbridge, Massachusetts dump for this holiday indirectly
leads to an arrest that is the subject of a 1967 song by Arlo Guthrie, and it is also the holiday for which Steve
Martin’s character and a shower curtain ring salesman are trying to travel to Chicago in Planes, Trains, and
Automobiles. Arthur Carlson, the general manager of WKRP in Cincinnati, uses a helicopter in a disastrous
giveaway of turkeys for this holiday. FTP, what is this holiday that annually features a Macy’s parade?

series at the end of its sixth season in January 2007. Characters on it included the British criminologist Nigel the
forensic scientist Bug, who in one several-episode arc is detained and interrogated by the Department of Homeland
Security. This show’s main character, a forensic pathologist in the Boston Medical Examiner’s Office, would
regularly reenact crimes, suffered emotional trauma from her mother’s murder, and had a romantic relationship with
Jerry O’Donnell’s character Woody Hoyt. Starring Jill Hennessy as the titular crime-solver this is, FTP, what
former TV show that took its name from a biblical metaphor?
ANSWER: Crossing Jordan
15. One appearance by these characters in a series of comics sees them travel to Shermer, Illinois, in an
attempt to meet women. Another incarnation of these characters portrays them as members of a little league
team owned by the billionaire Leonardo Leonardo, and in one movie they tried to avoid the “first step on the
road to relapse” by reenacting the dance to “Goodbye Horses” from Silence of the Lambs. In another movie one of
these characters waves, lights a cigarette, and says “no ticket” after throwing two bad guys off a train. The title of
another movie in which they appear comes from a speech in which one of them explains that breaking up with a girl
because she was in a threesome was a mistake and that he has been “chasing Amy” ever since. Also appearing in
Mallrats and Clerks, these are, FTP, what View Askewniverse characters played onscreen by Jason Mewes and
Kevin Smith?
ANSWER: Jay and Silent Bob
16. A person featured on these videos confuses Richard Dreyfuss for the subject of one of them and George
Bush for a strangely goateed character in another. The main figure of another one of these videos brushes his
hair out of his eyes while digging holes for someone who will later use jumper cables to show that his theory “is
bad” and “will only cause mass deaths.” The narrator of another one of these videos laughs at the idea of 19 thcentury doctors throwing snakes and leeches onto a pneumonia patient, while the first sees a statesman use a cell
phone to call his family and tell them “I love you; I’m gonna miss you.” One of these videos posits that a Founding
Father’s son, “who he didn’t give a shit about,” actually conducted the kite experiment before spilling a beverage
and vomiting. FTP, what are these Funny or Die videos in which famous actors dramatize inebriated ramblings
about notable Americans?
ANSWER: Drunk History
17. In an episode in which these vehicles appear the show’s main character is tasked with writing an essay
that is tangentially about them, leading to his ripping both the essay and himself in half. That character is
poor at operating these, despite the fact that he has deftly piloted a large rock to deliver a pizza. Accidents
involving these vehicles cause one character to shout “my leg!” while a pair of aging superheroes have an invisible
one of these. A driver’s education teacher attempts to steal one of these from a troubled student when she falsely
passes him from her class, and she often puffs up and asks “why?” in a deep voice when she is involved in accidents
with these. FTP, what are these vehicles used as cars by the citizens of Bikini Bottom on Spongebob Squarepants?
ANSWER: boats or boatmobiles

include a movie set, a fast food restaurant drive thru described as “raw as hell,” and a personal jet in which the
singer watches a music video on her cell phone. At one point in this song, the singer notes that her father let her
know “the industry is cold,” and it includes a rap by Ludacris about “champagne wishes” and “lifestyles so rich and
famous Robin Leach will get jealous.” The line “if you ain’t got no money take your broke ass home” is repeated
throughout this song, as is the chorus that begins “we flyin’ first class, up in the sky.” FTP, what is this 2007 song
by Fergie?
ANSWER: “Glamorous”

Creighton, playing basketball, baseball, and track. He then played for the Harlem Globetrotters, but also

playing for the Globetrotters. This pitcher made his major league debut in 1959 and made his first All-Star game in
1962. He would go on to win nine Gold Gloves, but is perhaps best known for his dominance in 1968, posting a 1.12
ERA with 13 shutouts and leading MLB to lower the pitcher's mound starting in 1969. FTP, who is this former
flamethrowing right-hander for the St. Louis Cardinals?
ANSWER: Robert “Bob” Gibson

attempting to pay his girlfriend for sex. That character in this movie is the subject of an HBO special about
drug addiction; that program inspires him to get himself in shape in prison while his brother begins work with Sal
LoNano. One character in this movie admits that the main character’s half-brother was always her favorite after the
former has brief victory against the latter while practicing; despite these disagreements throughout this movie, that
