So, Duh! Pop Quiz… Movies That Rip Off Other Movies

Posted on by sgottahurt

How can they dew that?!

For this edition of the So, Duh! Pop Quiz, I’m going to have everyone figure out the movie that ripped off each of these films (well, one of the questions happens to be about the films that ripped off the original).

Here’s a little known truth:

It ain’t stealing if it’s an homage…

1) Which sci-fi flop copied these sci-fi flops?

 

THX 1138 - Parts: The Clonus Horror - Logan's Run

2) The second question’s always easy… What monster movie did these monster movies chase after?

Orca: The Killer Whale! - Alligator - Piranha

3) Which “groundbreaking” action film stole broken ground from these underground flicks?

Blade - Dark City - Ghost in the Shell

4) What piece of garbage ripped off these pieces of garbage, save the awesome underrated The Monster Squad?

Underworld - League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - The Monster Squad

5) Which film that was essentially a “cartoon” ripped off these “cartoons” (Dances with Wolves is certainly cartoonish)?

Dances with Wolves - Pocahontas - FernGully - Delgo

So for today’s So, Duh! Pop Quiz, I figured I’d look up a couple celebrities’ personalized license plates, and see if you could figure out whom they belonged to.  Good luck!

Posted on by sgottahurt

Wordplay is one of my favorite things, and anagrams are no exception.

Photoshop is also one of my favorite things, so today I decided to bring them together in a So, Duh! Pop Quiz.

If you don’t know what an anagram is, it’s when you take the existing letters of a word or phrase and mix them up into something else:

DO ZIP QUO PUSH is a (terrible) anagram of SO DUH POP QUIZ

Your job is to figure out which celebrity’s name is each anagram.  The visual aids are purely for my enjoyment.  Good luck!

Posted on by sgottahurt

He really has a "Can Do!" attitude.

This So, Duh! Pop Quiz was inspired by something my sister Becky noticed.  In 80’s movies, there was nothing more common than a good bike chase.  Well, maybe it wasn’t common at all, but it seems to be relegated to only films made back then.  See if you can figure out which spokes appeared in which flicks:

So, Duh! Pop Quiz… Which Magazines Make Up “Magazines” Edition

Posted on by sgottahurt

This edition of the So, Duh! Pop Quiz is easy.  Easy for me to make, anyway.  Courtesy of a current ad campaign for – what else – magazines.  Figure out what each letter is from, and we’ll meet you for answers after the jump.

(SIDENOTE: It should be mentioned that this ad campaign has been going on for five months or so, and I only just stumbled across it.  The cornerstone of the campaign is that magazines are being read more, and they’re not going anywhere.  I’ve read one magazine in five months.  You connect the dots.)
