Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Yes... the meme is back. Answer the ones you can without using google. Identifying the show is worth something, but you'll need to explain what's going on to fully solve that item. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. *Okay, okay, some of these are less "famous" and more "moments I liked."

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 #5 is the final episode of M*A*S*H obviously #9 is the episode of Friends where Ross says Rachel's name instead of Emily's while attempting to marry Emily. this turns out poorly for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Edit: Anyone recognize this Cronkite moment? (I'm sorry... I don't know any of them and can only identify a few of the shows at all.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 1. Is that Dr. Beverly Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation? Judging from the scene, I'd guess it's a moment from the episode Remember Me, where she's stuck in static warp bubble, basically a little pocket universe, and she's in danger as it starts to collapse. 10. Is this Bob Newhart? From the conclusion of second show with him, where at the end he woke up and the entire second show was a dream of his character from the first show?

Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 #1 is Star Trek Next Generation. I saw that episode a couple nights ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 #1 and #5 have already been identified. The other one I know is #7: Lucy and Ethel are trying to prove to Ricky and Fred that they're able to hold down a job. They're wrapping chocolates on a conveyor belt that's moving too fast for them, so they eating/hiding the chocolates instead of letting them move on unwrapped. Hilarity ensues.

Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 1. Yes! "If there's nothing wrong with me, there must be something wrong with the universe." 5. Yes, it's the message BJ leaves for Hawkeye. 7. Yes. I believe the image is the moment where the overseer comes over and shouts to speed up the line. 9. Yes. 10. Yes! It's the conclusion of _Newhart_ which wraps back into the old _Bob Newhart Show_. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 4. Mary Tyler Moore show where they are at the funeral for Chuckles the Clown. 6. Seinfeld where Jerry takes the last marble rye from an old lady and later finds out she knows his family. Edit - Not sure if the Cronkite moment is the death of President Kennedy. It can't be later than the mid 1960s since it's still in black and white, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 #6 is Jerry Seinfeld stealing the last marble rye from the old lady after he followed her from the bakery. EDIT: You have got to be kidding me >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 4. Yes. Chuckles died in a particularly hilarious way, and Mary spends the entire episode refusing to laugh about it and berating everyone else for laughing. She finally stops being able to hold in her laughter during the funeral. It's a good enough performance that this episode frequently makes the #1 spot on published lists of the funniest TV moments. 6. Yes! It's Mrs. Choate. This leaves 2, 3, and 8. Some hints: 2 and 3, like 4, both involve reactions to someone dying. In both cases, however, the character is rather less peripheral than Chuckles the Clown. 8 is actually even more ridiculous than it looks like. It also has something in common with 10.

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I just realized...I don't see any image for 3. No idea about 2 or 8, but I would guess that 8's commonality with 10 might be that it's from a series finale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 That is not what 8 has in common from 10, although the episode in 8 is from close to the end of the series, and the series finale is relevant.

Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 #3: Nope -- I didn't think of that -- but close! It is from arguably the best episode of the series. Any last guesses? #8: Yes! More specifically, it's Roseanne in the guise of Roseambo, rescuing her family from the ninja-terrorists who are holding them hostage on a speeding train. I am not making this up. However, Click to reveal.. Roseanne was: in the series finale, you find out that the entire last season of the show was written by Roseanne and the events that actually took place differed in numerous ways. Hence the similarity, in some ways, to Newhart's ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 #1 - Star Trek TOS: Two of Kirk's crewmembers are turned into cube-thingies by an alien. Said alien demonstrates superiority by crushing one of said cubes into powder. #6 - Stargate SG-1: O'Neil and Teal'c are stuck in a time-loop, and take the opportunity to do things they wouldn't get away with under normal circumstances.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 10. Justice League Unlimited episode Piggy where Circe turns Wonder Woman into a pig and Batman is forced to sing a romantic song in front of an audience to get her turned back into a human. 6. I really liked this Stargate One episode because they could save money just using the stock sets so they decided to have fun with Jack and Teal'c. Halfway through the episode it was all for fun when you have all the time in the world and only the two of them know what they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 9. The statue of Jayne from Firefly. I'm surprised it wasn't picked up immediately. —Alorael, who supposes he can't pick the exact moment of that shot of the statue. He'd guess it's the statue's first appearance, but only from the camera work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Soul of Wit Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I've got to say that genre shows do not make for an easier challenge. I watch a lot of these and I'm still stumped. For example, even with the "in orbit" hint, I took far too long to get to one of the Justice League series. Naming the specific episode would have been impossible.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 @Nioca: Yes and yes for #1 and #6. Fun fact: that episode was my first introduction to TOS. @Rowen: Yes and yes for #8 and #9. @Galanos (whose original PDN I can't recall at this moment): Yes for #4. . Depending on your perspective, it's either hilariously campy or horrendously awkward or incredibly awesome. Or all at once. #3 is Red Dwarf, but it has nothing to do with the devil. #2 is not Doctor Who, but you are getting warmer. @Randomizer: Yes for #10. Justice League mostly kept away from the corny plots. Mostly. @Soul of Wit: What are you talking about? I got 10/10. :-P But seriously, you've got a point. Just be glad I didn't go with my original plan: Canadian Edition. I realized that people wouldn't get the answers even if I linked the opening credits. (For what it's worth, this was my first JLU choice, but making fun of Batman has been a thing for me lately.) Remaining to be guessed: #2: Somewhat obscure. #3: You already know it's Red Dwarf. #5: Rather obscure. #7: Slightly obscure. For what it's worth, I *think* there's at least one fan of each show left. EDIT: It's not like anyone is keeping score, so go ahead and guess the show even if you can't guess the moment.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Actaeon's second image (and the second Futurama one) was from (I think?) the last episode of season 4. Fry has been learning to play the holophone to try and impress Leela, because, when he was infested with worms he was badass at it and was finally making romantic headway with her. After the worms were removed, he became terrible at it, so he trades his hands with the Robot Devil's so that he can write Leela a symphony, which he does. The image is, I think, Leela telling Fry that she's not at all impressed with him cheating to get her affection. Wow, that was an involved answer. Edit: Dintiradan: The style of #2 reminds me of a cartoon I used to watch when I was a kid. I can't for the life of me name it, but it might help somebody else.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Close enough, Nikki. Leela's actually quite impressed with Fry's skills, but has unfortunately been tricked by the robot devil. She is telling us all about it... in song. "Fry, you do not understand...
