Pointless: Episode 4 (Head-to-Head 2)

[RedCoyote]

Ah, okay. Thank you, CC.

So many choices. I'll go with

Harold Ramis

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Is Harold Ramis right, and how many people said it?

Spoiler:

It is, and it scores you a very strong score of

1 point!

Well done, he of course played Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters. Probably more famous as a director and writer than for his acting, but that helped you get a great score here.

Highkey, what are you thinking?

[Vijarada]

damn it highkey

[CuddlyCaucasian]

If 24 hours go by, you'll go first, and if he hasn't shown up by your team's turn on the next pass, we'll find a replacement.

[Vijarada]

well it's been 24 hours and i won't be able to post for nearly a day. I pick Lacey Chabert, who played Gretchen Wieners in mean girls.

edit now xalxe looks silly

[Xalxe]

Gretched?

Also /in with whomever

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Xalxe, do you want to replace in for Highkey if he doesn't show up, since you don't have a partner? I don't want to split any of the existing pairs up if they want to stick together!

How many people said Lacey Chabert?

Spoiler:

1 person!

Cephrir's score is starting to look concerning, but we've yet to have a wrong answer this round.



Drench, you're up! What do you like to do in Bristol?

[Drench]

i'm a civil servant

let's go amanda seyfried and cop the high number

[CuddlyCaucasian]

How many people said Amanda Seyfried?

Spoiler:

Again, only

1!

This leaves everyone tied, Ceph and STD should be very worried.



Cheery Dog, can you keep the trend going?

[Cephrir]

Maybe this isn't the game show for me.

[Drench]

i appreciate you not asking me any more questions about my work as a civil servant

[Xalxe]

If vij is okay with it I'm fine taking that spot

[Cheery Dog]

Maybe this isn't the game show for me.

I haven't answered yet, you'll probably be fine!

because I know like 5 actors total and quite possibly am lame enough to have not actually watched any of those movies.
I feel like I might have watched one, but since I don't actually pay any attention to who was in it, and I'm fairly sure I don't own a copy to watch it again

so instead I'm going to go for a wild stab in the dark on the more obscure actor I can name and know they are an actor and hope they played one of these roles.
My basis of naming him here is he is an actor I remember being a pointless answer for something I knew one time i watched the show. I'm also pretty sure the other ones I can name normally do action movies and are unlikely to be used in groups like this.

Please everyone laugh at my hopeless actor knowledge. - I will always falter if it comes to having to name people

Alan Rickman

[CuddlyCaucasian]

How many people said Alan Rickman?

Spoiler:

Incorrect.

Bad luck, that was probably a good guess to go with, but unfortunately he wasn't in any of the listed movie groups.




Xalxe, you're up next. You just need a score of under 100 to advance.

[Cheery Dog]

yeah that's what I thought.

I'm going to go research the other names (once it's confirmed Xalxe & SC actually know people) and see if there's any of the actors I could name.

[Vijarada]

ty xalxe

[Xalxe]

Well I'm glad that was wrong because pop culture is my weak point.

Lindsay Lohan

Sorry Vij :/

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Lindsey Lohan seems like a safe answer to be correct, so how many people said it?

Spoiler:

51,

and now that's all the Mean Girls out of the way. Fortunately, you're still through to the next round!

StrangerCoug, you need to score 99 or better.

[Xalxe]

Wow I figured that'd be WAY higher

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Not all 100 people were big movie fans most likely, and 100-second time limit I guess!

[StrangerCoug]

Only one I know is

Joe Pesci

.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

How many people said Joe Pesci?

Spoiler:

32!

He was one of the wet bandits of course.



Alright STD, it's all down to you. You need a 60 or better to advance.

[Save The Dragons]

I have the Dumb and Dumber actors, Charlie's Angels, one Ghostbuster, two usual suspects, maybe one breakfast club, and a couple of anchormen, all of which are probably pretty high

Let's go with

Steven Baldwin

[CuddlyCaucasian]

How many people said Stephen Baldwin?

Spoiler:

Only

1

again! Well done, I had no idea he was in The Usual Suspects.



Let's take a look at the pointless answers on the board, there were actually a few.

• Bill Paxton (Tombstone)
  
• Kevin Pollak (The Usual Suspects)
  
• Sam Elliott (Tombstone)
  
• David Koechner (Anchorman)

David Koechner is also famous for Final Destination 5 (at least in my eyes). The cast of that movie also made a great Saved by the Bell parody together.



Let's see the top 5 answers.

• Jim Carrey (Dumb & Dumber) -
  62
  
  
• Lindsey Lohan (Mean Girls) -
  51
  
  
• Bill Murray (Ghostbusters) -
  49
  
  
• Lucy Liu (Charlie's Angels) -
  47
  
  
• Will Ferrell (Anchorman) -
  45

Drench and Cheery Dog, you couldn't pull through this time, but you'll have another chance next episode.
