Quiz 257, from Niki Walton - I did better than last week, with 7/10 and 2/5.
Correct answers: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 11, 12.
Some inventive questions as usual, Niki - I particularly liked the Father Ted question, and the 'dual roles' one was a good idea, took me some careful thinking to work it out.
Suited me better too, a pleasing 9/10 & 3/5. Yes I thought the dual role one was an excellent Q, and sure enough I got it wrong although I'd got it down to one of two, I chose the wrong one, funnily enough for a dual reason I won't give yet, so as not to give the answer. Good quiz.
8/10.
# 7 was a pure guess.
Got # 1 wrong after first selecting the correct answer and then changing my mind.
# 10 I have to admit I don't even know as a stand-up comedian let alone knowing what she did before she became one!
No 257
I think I've slipped into a parallel universe..................bad again! 😳 Yet Niki and I used to be on the same wavelength.
5/10 and 1/5
Good morning everyone, I belive that Niki and I have some different comedy tastes, but thats all part of the fun of being on a comedy forum.
I correctly answered: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q8, Q9.
I incorrectly answered: Q5, Q6, Q7, Q10.
I'm not a fan of much "modern comedy" for me its the "old stuff" thats the best.
Herc, when's the Peter Sellers quiz?

Thanks AJK, that question seemed easy when I first wrote it but it took some thinking through, both from myself and Mark to ensure it was watertight.

Thanks Billy, I was hoping a few people might have learned the answer to Q10 as the comedian in question was on the radio yesterday talking about their pre-comedy career
5/10 and only one miseducated guess.

Sorry JJ I missed your post! I think our comedy tastes might overlap quite well. Though note that I did submit a quiz earlier this year with the caveat that just because I write a quiz question about a particular show or person, it doesn't necessarily mean I find it/them funny (though I might have done as a child when I had simpler tastes or certain jokes passed me by).
Also one person's "modern comedy" is another's "old stuff". I did once explain to a much-younger work colleague how exciting it was when I was a teenager and we got a new series of Blackadder, I did feel a bit like someone of my parents' generation talking about the Beatles

A Blackadder quiz, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the show, from Rhianna Evans. Enjoyed that, and did reasonably well, with 7/10 and 4/5. A few very tricky ones, even though I've seen most of the episodes numerous times over the years! (Coincidentally I rewatched the episode of Blackadder Goes Forth that question 5 was about, so that quote was fresh in my mind).
Correct answers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 11, 13, 14, 15.
6/10 & 2/5 for me. Still haven't seen any of the specials and I've only seen bits of Goes Forth which for some reason I found smugly irritating and haven't watched in its entirety although I keep meaning to, given its reputation.
4/10. Although the only one I was sure of was # 2.
I refuse to put myself through this.
Good morning everybody.
I scored a measily 3 out 10 today, however I'm a Blackadder fan - honestly.
I correctly answered Q1, Q2, Q8.
I incorrectly answered Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q9, Q10.
I am disapointed with my score, but that can only mean one thing - its time for a Blackadder rewatch.
