MOOPY FAMILY FORTUNES - ROUND 9 - RESULTS - 7PM TONIGHT! (23/07)

[D5K]

I've checked the rules from previous rounds and wrong answers were still given points. I decided just to go with exactly how previous rounds have been scored.

I think there's usually a nuance that if an answer is wrong because it's clearly specified in how the question is worded then it's vetoed, but this is your round so you can make the rules!

 

[COB]

I honestly thought Olly Murs was third that year

4 - A famous, *living* Richard (i.e. no Richard III or Richard Nixon cos they ded)

16 - Richard Branson (Manic Kangaroo, Queen Of The Bay, Halli, Ill Advised, Ag, Kate, Music, Soldi, jyxz, Ellie, Rita, David 5000, Barnacle, BoysForSeles, Marilyn, funky)

9 - Richard Gere (Alla, Tisch, COB, Indie, Alex, Raining On Me, Dark Carnival, RJN, VoR)

4 - Richard Madeley (Jacques, ButterTart, Frozen, dmlaw)

2 - Richard Ayoade (Zen Giraffe, Peekaboo)

1 - Richard E. Grant (Rhythmbarbican)

1 - Richard Osman (.org)

Yes, shooting himself into space and then, sadly, coming back down made Branson the most famous Richard of the moment.

I've finished the adding up so...

 

[Generic Account]

Surprised not to get any Rebecca Ferguson for the one. I know she isn't even the most famous Rebecca Ferguson, but Moopy not going for the woman?

Or Rhydian!

 

[Indie]

Dammit. Almost put branston too, but Gere was top of Google....

 

[D5K]

near to space

 

[RJN]

I didn’t answer Branson because I’m protesting him, and definitely not because I forgot

I assume that all of the Bransoners would have got a big fat zero if his spaceship had exploded.

 

[D5K]

My answers did specify "at time of submission"

 

[ButterTart]

[BoysForSeles]

For ages I could only think of the dreaded Madeley then the Amazon man was on the news and so reminded me of the Virgin man.

 

[Jacques]

Quite pleased just not to have been alone on Madeley. I thought of Branson but didn't want to put him.

 

[octophone]

I assume that all of the Bransoners would have got a big fat zero if his spaceship had exploded.

I;d have been too busy celebrating to add up the scores.

Madeley is shit in an iconic way. Branson is just shit.

PECKER

 

[Indie]

NEB?

never ever heard of that one

 

[AlgoAlex]

Snout never even crossed my mind

 

[ButterTart]

Snout never even crossed my mind

It came to me quite late. I’d had conk for that one then worried it might be a regional thing.

 

[RJN]

I feel like a snout is more than just a nose

 

[BoysForSeles]

NEB?

never ever heard of that one

I think it’s prob more used in Ireland/Scotland perhaps?

 

[D5K]

Snout never even crossed my mind

Nor me; I struggled with that one.

 

[octophone]

PECKER

Apparently this is a wee bit like "pussy" - in the 1970's, it meant nose with a tiny undercurrent of penis but in 2021, it means penis with a tiny undercurrent of nose.

 

[D5K]

My backup was hooter so it could have been worse.

 

[ButterTart]

I feel like a snout is more than just a nose

You’re right, it’s also a way of pronouncing ‘trout’ if you have a severe speech impediment

 

[RJN]

PECKER

Yeah I almost entered “cock” but decided against it

 

[Tisch]

1 - A Number One single from 2002




18 - Sound of the Underground – Girls Aloud (Jacques, Manic Kangaroo, ButterTart, Ill Advised, COB, Music, Soldi, Indie, Rhythmbarbican, jyxz, Alex, Raining On Me, BoysForSeles, Marilyn, Dark Carnival, Zen Giraffe, funky, VoR)

[RJN]

You’re in quite the dilemma now

 

[ButterTart]

Yeah I almost entered “cock” but decided against it

The word for nose in Armenian is ‘ballsak’, glad I didn’t go for that.

This may have been a lie.

Great work on the image there.

[Tisch]

Dammit. Almost put branston too, but Gere was top of Google....

Same! Plus I forgot about Branson.

 

[Indie]

Well, I was 50/50 between Mojo and Rolling Stone, so fine.

 

[RJN]

I googled Billboard to see if they still make actual magazines, and apparently they started in 1894
