Question 725: Glasses make the man

Although having the manners and impressions of (1), the name of (2) and (3) is far more extolled. ID whats being talked about

#brownie points for 1,2, 3.

Question 712: Kermit is no Hermit

Robot Chicken as a show isn't known for having a lasting impression, but this character created as an antithesis to kermit is a pun upon the actual character's name. This 80's go getter went on to define a generation, although his later avatar was a huge disappointment as a mere anticlimatic antihero.

SO ID the character here (not kermit) and who he is based upon from the world of cinema.

Question 651: Detective shows teach us a whole lot

 The Supreme Court of the United States held that an elicited incriminating statement by a suspect will not constitute admissible evidence unless the suspect was informed of the right to decline to make self-incriminatory statements and the right to legal counsel , and makes a knowing, intelligent and voluntary waiver of those rights.


It is supposed to be a safeguard against self-incrimination. As a result, if law enforcement officials decline to offer the warning to an individual in their custody, they may still interrogate that person and act upon the knowledge gained, but may not use that person's statements to incriminate him or her in a criminal trial.

What's the warning called? You would have heard it tonnes of times (Not the name. But the actual warning).

Question 647 g: /with pleasure

Identify this, ahem, piece of art and the, ahem, artist.

Where would you have come across this?

Also, go for the bloody theme!





Ps: Please.

Question 621: Balancing act

Okay, I had saved this question long ago, before I left. I'm just posting it now.
This is an excerpt from __X__:
Well I now have the results here of the interviews and the aptitude tests that you took last week, and from them we've built up a pretty clear picture of the sort of person that you are. And 1 think I can say, without fear of contradiction, that the ideal job for you is _________ ___________.
A: But I am a _________ ___________.
B: Jolly good. Well back to the office with you then.
A: No! No! No! You don't understand. I've been a _________ ___________ for the last twenty years. I want a new job. Something exciting that will let me live.
B: Well _________ ___________ is rather exciting isn't it?
A: Exciting? No it's not. It's dull. Dull. Dull. My God it's dull, it's so desperately dull and tedious and stuffy and boring and des-per-ate-ly DULL.
B: Well, er, yes Mr A, but you see your report here says that you are an extremely dull person. You see, our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. And w/hereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in _________ ___________ they are a positive boon.
A: But don't you see, I came here to find a new job, a new life, a new meaning to my existence. Can't you help me?
B: Well, do you have any idea of what you want to do?
A: Yes, yes I have.
B: What?
A: (boldly) Lion taming.
B: Well yes. Yes. Of course, it's a bit of a jump isn't it? I mean, er, _________ ___________ to lion taming in one go. You don't think it might be better if you worked your way towards lion taming, say, via banking'...
A: No, no, no, no. No. I don't want to wait. At nine o'clock tomorrow I want to be in there, taming.
B: Fine, fine. But do you, do you have any qualifications?
A: Yes, I've got a hat.
B: A hat?
A: 'Yes, a hat. A lion taming hat. A hat with 'lion tamer' on it. I got it at Harrods. And it lights up saying 'lion tamer' in great big neon letters, so that you can tame them after dark when they're less stroppy.
B: I see, I see.
A: And you can switch it off during the day time, and claim reasonable wear and tear as allowable professional expenses under paragraph 335C...
B: Yes, yes, yes, I do follow, Mr Anchovy, but you see the snag is... if I now call Mr Chipperfield and say to him, 'look here, I've got a forty-five-year-old _________ ___________ with me who wants to become a lion tamer', his first question is not going to be 'does he have his own hat?' He's going to ask what sort of experience you've had with lions.
A: Well I ... I've seen them at the zoo.
B: Good, good, good.
A: Lively brown furry things with short stumpy legs and great long noses. I don't know what all the fuss is about, I could tame one of those. They look pretty tame to start with.
B: And these, er, these lions ... how high are they?
A: (indicating a height of one foot) Well they're about so high, you know. They don't frighten me at all.
B: Really. And do these lions eat ants?
A: Yes, that's right.
B: Er, well, Mr A ... I'm afraid what you've got hold of there is an anteater.
A: A what?
B: An anteater. Not a lion. You see a lion is a huge savage beast, about five feet high, ten feet long, weighing about four hundred pounds, running forty miles per hour, with masses of sharp pointed teeth and nasty long razor-sharp claws that can rip your belly open before you can say 'Eric Robinson', and they look like this.
(The counselor produces large picture of a lion and shows to Mr A who screams and passes out.)
B: Time enough I think for a piece of wood.
(CAPTION: 'THE LARCH')
Voice Over: The larch.
(Cut back to office: Mr A sits up with a start.)
B: Now, shall I call Mr Chipperfield?
A: Er, no, no, no. I think your idea of making the transition to lion taming via easy stages, say via insurance...
B: Or banking.
A: Or banking, yes, yes, banking that's a man's life, isn't it? Banking, travel, excitement, adventure, thrills, decisions affecting people's lives.
B: Jolly good, well, er, shall I put you in touch with a bank?
A: Yes.
B: Fine.
A: Er... no, no, no. Look, er, it's a big decision, I'd like a couple of weeks to think about it... er... you know, don't want to jump into it too quickly. Maybe three weeks. I could let you know definitely then, I just don't want to make this definite decision. I'm er... (continues muttering nervously to himsel)
B: (turning to camera) Well this is just one of the all too many cases on our books of _________ ___________. The only way that we can fight this terrible debilitating social disease, is by informing the general public of its consequences, by showing young people that it's just not worth it. So, so please... give generously... to this address:

The League for Fighting _________ ___________,

55 Lincoln House, Basil Street,

London, SW3.

ID each of the characters in the pictures for a point each. No points for the 3rd one.

Question 569: Yes We Mccann

A very late question (a month old i guess), but i just found out about it and im posting it on both blogs
The Quizzard & Another Blog in The Wall.


This is an excerpt of an episode from CSI, im not going to tell you when it was aired. 
It features the return of a very popular character, the synopsis is as such.


The character ___X___, played by ___Y___, is a troubled teen worried about his brother.


It begins with __Y__ warning Stokes not to enter his house as it may be booby trapped (the irony of this phrase chosen will come to light when you crack the question). Stokes enters either ways, finds out that its a bomb, gets extracted by CSI squad, & is grateful to __Y__.


Although Stokes tries to interrogate __Y__ about the attempted house bombing, the teen remains tight-lipped about who the perpetrator is, and he's eventually picked up by his legal guardian. Soon after, the CSIs pay a visit to  __Y__'s guardian, only to find him dead inside his work warehouse. Unfortunately, beneath his dead body is a device that traps Stokes and his team inside the building as a bomb surrounded by lasers ticks away.


Greg and Sara find a surveillance video of  __Y__ buying bomb-making supplies with an accomplice: Timothy Johnson, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist who was dishonorably discharged from the Army several years ago. Nick realizes that  __Y__ has been playing him, and Sara points out that he, Catherine and Vartann were the ones who killed  __Y__s brother—and they were the ones trapped in the booby-trapped building. Nick and Greg work to track  __Y__ by calling his cellphone, and they are able to locate his general area. The cops set up a roadblock and stop the van containing  __Y__ and Johnson as they try to escape to California. Johnson would rather give up than die, but Jason has other ideas. 


He yells that Johnson has a bomb on his body, and during the momentary confusion, __Y__ pulls out a gun and shoots one of the cops . Nick and the others return fire, killing __Y__ in a hail of bullets, as his corpse floats like a feather before gracing the sweet ground.


SImply ID X & Y.
The reason why this became famous will immediately come to light then

Y(can't tineye this, you should get it though)

Question 567: What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons.

Apt title for this clip, which is also a quote from the original.
ID the parody, ie, what is being parodied.
The title should give you a hint.

Question 529 : *Wink wink*

__X__  started a still hinted-at controversy in 1999 due to his carrying a bag that looks much like a woman's handbag. __X__ was alleged to be a  "gay role model" who was a hidden symbol of homosexuality meant to brainwash the children. The official response given was,  "He's not gay. He's not straight."

In May, 2007, the matter was revisited and an enquiry was planned by one Ewa Sowińska."I noticed that he has a woman's handbag, but I didn't realize he's a boy," Sowińska told a magazine in an interview adding, "Later I learned that there could be some hidden homosexual undertones." Sowińska said she would ask her office's psychologists to look into the allegations, and judge whether it can be shown on public television and whether the suggested problem really exists.

But on 30 May 2007, Sowińska said in a public statement that she no longer suspected the allegation of promoting homosexuality. She said: "The opinion of a leading sexologist, who maintains that this series has no negative effects on a child's psychology, is perfectly credible. As a result I have decided that it is no longer necessary to seek the opinion of other psychologists."

Id X.
