It's time for another round of...
« on: January 14, 2006, 03:23:26 PM »
The contestants are in the winner's circle. The celebrity is faced with the final category: "Things that are bogus."

The celeb tries the clue, "counterfeit money." This elicits the response, "Things that are fake." The celebrity nods, pauses for a monent, then gives the winning clue: "Counterfeit money, duuuude."

You're the judge. You decide. Is the clue descriptive? Do you hit the buzzer?

1) I would have hit the buzzer on "counterfeit", never mind the followup, as that is a synonym for "bogus".

2) The rules are "Give only a list". The "duuuuuude" is not part of a list, it is embellishing an item on the list. Bzzzzzzzt.

That's what I thought.

What is a good clue, though? Is there a money clue? Is "Bogus" used in any well-known titles?

That's the perfect clue right there. Thanks, Dick! =P

Those kind of clues work the best for words that are in well-known titles. For example, when the category "Things that are Wonderful" came up on the WC, Dick Clark came in and presented the perfect clue, "The World of Disney!"

Rod Roddy: "Yes, I'm afraid that's true."

~Rod making a joke after Peter complains that it's Labor Day and he shouldn't be working on Press Your Luck.

That's not buzzable for prepositions?

Maybe the fact that it's a title makes it OK?
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

They would be lenient with prepositions in some cases, like titles and very common phrases ("a piece of cake" is the one I always think of).

Of course, it's also possible that the judge wasn't paying attention to the post mortem that day. Or did he give it a bell?

("Louis Armstrong's World" is better, anyway.)

Or "Frank Capra's Life".
