World Series of Pop Culture

[Snoogans]

This show is on VH1 right now. It's the first i've ever heard or seen of it, and its not too bad. the host blows and some of the contestants are fags, but the questions are pretty cool<br />

[Snoogans]

ok its actually a cool concept. Its 2 teams of 3, and one member from each team will battle another head to head in questions, and whoever loses the head to head battle is eliminated from the team. Whichever team runs out of players first loses<br />

[tele7]

I've been watching too.&nbsp; Actually, the host is pretty cool.&nbsp; Some of the contestants really rip on him.

[Snoogans]

yea as ive watched more, im startin to like the host more and more, but the contestants are still douchy, and some of them are fuckin idiots<br />

[Snoogans]

[badorties]

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>my job had tickets for the taping&nbsp;a few months ago at the zigfeld ... they sold it like you might get a chance to compete, but the 'teams' are from all over and had qualified to be there</p><p>i've never been to a trivia nite at a bar, but are these the kinda folks that play ...?</p>

[Don Stugots]

I caught this last thursday night for the first time, I almost didn't leave my friends couch to go to the bar. I think it's a great show, I love the questions.

[RingWraith]

<p>Had I known this show was debuting, I probably would've tried to get in this show with me, brother, and a friend.</p><p>Pop culture is&nbsp;a guilty-pleasure of mine and I'd think I would've done well.</p>

Awesome show. My friend was pissed I knew Tony played for St. Louis on Who's the Boss?.

<p>No softball questions anymore.&nbsp; The contestants are really good.&nbsp; I'm now hooked on this show.</p>

I won't spoil it.</font></p><p><font size="2">What bullshit! they had the final 4 tonight. The team won in the first to go to the final, and then they left it a cliffhanger with the other spot left undetermined, cause they were out of time and still playing.</font></p><p><font size="2">And it wasn't who&nbsp;I picked! Oh well, I'll still watch the finals next week.</font></p><p><font size="3">BASTARDS!!</font></p>

[Fallon]

I don't even care about the teams. I like answering the questions myself.

[NortonRules]

<p>The host, Pat Kiernan, is awesome.&nbsp; I love that guy.&nbsp; </p><p>He's the reason I stayed tuned.&nbsp; Now I'm hooked on the show.&nbsp; No homo.</p>

[Don Stugots]

[reillyluck]

thank you, vh1 Guru!

[cougarjake13]

just got finished watching it

some pretty easy questions in the first pairing

[JPMNICK]

i love this show. a lot of younger teams which means they always get stumped on anything pre 1985. we should have paired Mikeyboy, blackearl, and Ronnie B as the team to win it all.

[BeltOfScotch]

jesus christ they are televising fucking darts!!!

Darts on TV is awesome

And you forgot the World Series of Blackjack

[Johnny Manf]

it started on Monday at 9 and its been on every night this week since then.
tonight again, its on.

after the show ends you can go to worldofpop.com and enter in the $2500 challenge.
I tried the first 2 nights. I came in 38th out of 2000 on Night 1 by getting to question 17 out of 25 in a certain amount of time. And the 2nd night I did terrible, I came in 1740th of 3000 because I got question 6 wrong. Last night I couldnt even get on the website.

you have to register beforehand and you can login around 9 and sit there and wait for the game to start at 10.

[drusilla]

i love the show. i've been watching every night. i am constantly yelling the answers at the tv. it was so bad when 2 male contestants were up there & they couldn't' get any arnold schwarzenegger quotes. even my mom was yelling the answers from the other room. i tried to play one of the online games but lost on the first question about barbara streisand. is she really pop culture?

i was even more pissed when they both stood there and did not know the fucking caddy shack quote.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I would have run the table on that show last night except I thought Oprah won an oscar for Color Purple and that Jake's bar on Melrose Place was "Jake's Place" and not shooters.

[King Imp]

This is definitely a fun show and one I would love to be on. Some have totally stumped me (i.e. hip-hop stars in movies), but for the most part I know most of the answers. Good thing there isn't a time limit because I'm finding I draw blanks at first and it takes a few seconds to get the answer.

The best so far was that "Booty" category. Listening to the host say the lyrics was hysterical.

I kinda want to see that online team (Absolute Strangers 2.0) take on the team (Fragilay) who took out the defending champs. I think that would be a good matchup.

[JPMNICK]

it is always funny to me how none of the teams never know anything about hiphop. black culture means nothing to these people

[cougarjake13]

and about 75% of the country

[Fallon]

I suuuuuuuuuuuck at early 80's questions.

Sugar tits.

Oh well, so much for that. Fragilay got their asses handed to them in the next round so that matchup won't happen now.
