Last week I was all about the sweetness, this week I’m feeling animated. I love cartoons, always have, always will. Tonight’s selection is a mix of cartoony questions, both old and new.
1. On Futurama, who is Bender named after?
2. There is only one actor who has provided voices for every single Scooby-Doo cartoon or movie ever made. Who is he?
3. On what sketch comedy show did the Simpsons make their first appearance?
4. Maurice Sendak, author of Where the Wild Things Are, also created what other character who is quite popular with the pre-school crowd?
5. Who is this little guy and what is his alter ego?
6. Speaking of alter egos, who were He-Man and She-Ra when they were not in super-form?
7. Which Bugs Bunny cartoon won an Oscar?
8. Which animator, who helped create Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Droopy Dog, Chilly Willy and Screwy Squirrel, was responsible for creating Red Hot Riding Hood and Swing Shift Cinderella (as well as the smokin’ hot Symphony of Slang)?
9. Jack Riley, who provideed the voice for Stu Pickles on Rugrats, had a recurring on-screen role in what popular sitcom in the 1970s?
10. What cartoon is this still from, and why is it significant?
*Bonus – What is this classy fellow’s full name?

3) The Tracey Ullman Show

5. Perry the Platypus, also know as Agent P (He’s a semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action).
He’s got more than just mad skills, he’s got a beaver tail and a bill.

You are my new hero for knowing both 1 and 9
I’m terrifying at Trivial Pursuit. Do I know anything that could potentially translate into money? No, but I know all sorts of random cartoon minutiae.
If only VH1 would do their World Series of Pop Culture again. We could kill it.
I know sadly few of these, but:
3 – The Tracey Ullman Show
4 – Little Bear
10 – Steamboat Willie, first cartoon with sound effects, music and spoken dialogue
Bonus – Michigan J. Frog.
off to google question 1, because now I am curious…
When it comes to subjects that I geek out on, I have a hard time gauging the difficulty of my questions sometimes.
