Pub Quiz Update #WHTZ-100 (Triosby)

Tues April 26
Team Name: Theooooooooooooooooooooo!
(House of Cosby reference)
Placement: 1st
Points: 121
Comments: an amazing come-from-behind. Chiang Kai Shek my ass. Ignorant Folk from the South refer to Ice Hockey as a slur offending homosexuals participating in a race on ice. This is why Canadian teams such as the Winnipeg Jets and Quebec Nordiques become (not factually) Nashville Predators and Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning. what?

Theooooooooooooooooooooo! is not so much a House of Cosby reference as it is just a Cosby Show reference.

Think about all those times Cliff had to take a dump, and Theo was primping for a date with a nice girl who Cliff would later embarrass Theo in front of with his unique brand of Jibber Jabber.

For some reason all I can remember* from the Cosby show are the awkward exits that one of the children and a guest would make (or actually any character and a guest would make). The camera would follow them out the door and then there would be an odd pause before it cut back to Cliff and Claire. Like a pause to respect.


*I also remember the time Cliff ate some chili in the kitchen and it was really hot.

i would have to say that the spirit of "Theoooooooooooooooooooooooo!" of that night came more from House of Cosby, with its bad Cosby impersonators than the sacred Cosby Show with its rituals.

I also believe that your impression of the Cosby show is similarly based upon blasphemy. that "hippin and the hoppin and the bippin and the boppin" and Jello pudding consumption was also actually in the show.

another sacred pause would be to show time. even if two scenes occured in the same room, they would cut to an exterior shot of the house and then go back into same room. amen.

be careful or one day whilst attending your errands you receive the "Zrbtt" of death.

Well the hot chili scene is from episode #416 "The Drum Major". I was 7 years old when it aired on that cold Thursday night. Regardless, your criticism of my remarks has struck precisely and struck deep.
