Greg is looking more formidable with each episode. Curious to see how far he goes.
For FJ, "Wayne's World" leapt instantly to mind. I'm glad I didn't over think it, because I think I would have been seduced by "The Coneheads."
Er, okay, that last phrase sounds pretty weird, eh?

I immediately resolved it to be a complete toss up between Wayne's World and Coneheads. I couldn't remember whether the latter came out before or after WW, so I'm not going to give myself credit for getting this one.LHamilton wrote:Coneheads certainly isn't a bad guess, since the time frame was very close to Wayne's World, but you'd have to stretch the definition of "hit" pretty far.
Same here. I would have been peeved at Alex if I was one of those contestants.jjwaymee wrote:I did not like it. He gave me a severe moment of panic. "Wait a minute! There was a Church Lady movie??

Salvatore certainly muffed that first Two Syllable, Two Syllable clue.
Dani went with a 'nice tidy number' for her FJ wager, as opposed to a 'nice round number' resulting sum. Had Salvatore wagered a 'nice tidy' $5000 he would have taken second place away from her.
$24,200 seems to be a good number for Greg.

Ran "BB".
Lach Trash on "quibble", "seveth heaven".
Loved the Puss in Boots category.
I got only $200 in Back of the Bill. I've handled way too little money lately, so most of it has evaporated from my mind.
"Well, the only mountain I know of in Alaska is McKinley, but that's not named for a politician!"
NHO Stone Mountain.
WLT Israel on Where Ya From? for $400?
Judges: "Standing around" for "hanging around" on 2 Syllables for $1200?
Blanked on Berlin. Somehow all I could think of was Geneva.
Almost put down "It's Pat" as a joke until Wayne's World came to mind about 3/4 of the way through the think music.

The clue pinned the response by requiring it to be on the LAPD web site.TenPoundHammer wrote: Judges: "Standing around" for "hanging around" on 2 Syllables for $1200?

FJ was an instaget but then again, that's my name.

The "hit" part immediately made me think that the writers were asking for trouble. What is a "hit"? I guess if there were no other SNL movies in that time it works.
any Simpsons fans have a problem with the Monte Burns response?

My only problem with it was that Alex hesitated making it seem like "Burns" wasn't enough, in a category that gave you the "MONTY OR MONTGOMERY". (The character has been called by both names on the show.)Woppy T wrote:any Simpsons fans have a problem with the Monte Burns response?

Only a moron wouldn't cast his vote for Monty Burns.

I too took the FJ negbait on Coneheads.

Take off eh...what am I missing about the FJ answer...could have sworn it was 'Strange Brew' 1983. Maybe I am the only one who saw it.

I agree that the word "hit" is vague/ambiguous, However it would only be relevant if there were a film in between Blues Brothers and Wayne's World.

I was surprised to learn that Coneheads came after Wayne's World - clearly J's definition of "hit" doesn't matter for that reason - but I still wouldn't have guessed Coneheads because I don't believe it was a hit by anybody's definition...
