Terrible/Hilarious Quiz Ideas

[Anderson(Blackhawks65)]

I was in the middle of thinking of a "mixed word" quiz when I came across Druhutch's Mixed Word: Terrible Quiz Ideas. Well, I found that quiz hilarious. My favorite was "What a Terrible Rash! (Image Quiz). In this thread, post the worst, but still funny, quiz ideas you have. Don't forget to include a funny title!

[TheCleverone]

Worst quiz idea ever:
My Little Pony or Porn Star (Slideshow)

[beforever]

This isn't a terrible idea... but I guess it would be pretty ridiculous.

Maybe one day there could be a quiz that Headquarters programs especially... one in which you would have to enter an insane number of answers... perhaps a combination of (something like):

• Countries and Capitals of the World
• US States and State Capitals
• US Presidents
• Big 4 Teams
• Periodic Table
• Pokémon (Gen I)
• Shakespeare Plays
• Best Picture Winners
• James Bond Movies
• (Corporate Logos, Car Logos, The Simpsons, Flags of the World, if images could somehow also be incorporated)

Time limit: 1 hour

On second thought actually, make that 2 or 3 hours. 1 hour? Yeah, right.

This was pretty terrible . . . or hilarious.  Actually, it was just plain silly.

 

The Build Your Self Esteem Quiz

[RobPro]

Haha beforever, that would be like an exam, the 'Sporcle Exam', that would make for some awesome badge. No pausing allowed either. Except I really wouldn't want to take it, I have had enough of exams for my lifetime :P

[Anderson(Blackhawks65)]

"Words Banned by Sporcle (Image Quiz)" or "Words Banned by Sporcle (Uncensored)"

[Funnyfavorer101]

I've always dreamed of making a quiz like this:

Pop Star or Potato?

(On second thought, that might actually be kinda awesome)

[Anderson(Blackhawks65)]

Funnyfavorer, I hope you'll be OK with it, but I am going to make a pop star or potato slideshow. That WOULD be kind of awesome.

[TheCleverone]

That could be awesome actually, and I'll definitely play it (though don't make my earlier bad quiz suggestion - you'll get kicked off Sporcle!)

And for the sequel, "Pop Star or Potato: sound clips"

[zalkon2004]

I won't go into detail cause it's funnier if you just use your imagination but I once considered putting together a quiz that had the title, "Oops!... I Just Crapped My Pants"

[needapausebutton]

No; on that one, I'd prefer NOT to use my imagination...

[Samantha Wiegand]

Oh, DEFINITELY make a Pop Star or Potato. I meant that as an open suggestion, as I am too busy with other things right now to make something like that. Post the link here, I think we'll all want to see it!

"Pop Star or Potato"
Eccelent idea, funnyfavorer

[Funnyfavorer101]

Somebody just 1-bombed it! (Probably a Bieber fan.)

[Anderson(Blackhawks65)]

I noticed... too bad. Hopefully the rating will go up if I get a few more plays. Anyway, funnyfavorer, I noticed all three of your deleted comments and fixed them :)

[Samantha Wiegand]

Yes, definitely too bad.

For the comments, I had accidentally said the wrong things (once, you posted at the same time I did, about that fix, one redo.)

Great quiz :D !!!

 

But beforever's earlier idea could actually be a good accompaniment for the study guides - Sporcle Exams in each of the 15 categories. My suggestions would be 1 hour for each exam:

 

Geography - Countries, Capitals and Flags of the World, and US States and Capitals (possibly Longest Rivers, Highest Mountains to make it less list-based and more exam-like)

Sports - Big 4 Sports Teams, World Cup (Soccer) Winners, Premier League Teams, Tennis Open Era Grand Slam Champions

Music - Beatles Albums, #1 Songs (probably with a cut-off date like June 2013), something pop-related (I don't really listen to that much pop, so I wouldn't be able to give a good example)

Movies - Oscar Winners, James Bond Movies, Top Grossing Movies, something Star Wars-related, something actor/director-related

TV - Something Simpsons related, Most Watched Sitcoms (if that data exists), something to do with reality shows and their winners, actors who have played Dr Who.

JFF - Lots of logic questions and some form of 1-100.

Miscellaneous - Lots of baby names, logos, and people smarter than college students.

History - US Presidents, UK Prime Ministers, Former British Empire Countries, something about the Civil War, guessing the year

Literature - Something HP related, something LOTR related, ASoIaF, Shakespeare, and general questions about novels

Language - Some of the questions from beforever's Vocabulary series, German, French, Italian and Spanish verb conjunction and basic vocabulary

Science - Elements, Math Problems, Bones, Constellations

Gaming - Board Games, Poker Hands, something to do with console and PC games (don't play that many, so not an expert)

Entertainment - Something to do with musicals and broadway, and shows, comics, and celebrities

Religion - Books of the Bible, World Religions, Prophets, Greek and Roman Gods

Holiday - no idea! I'm sure there would be something though.

 

Then there could be a "Hardcore" or "A-Grade Student" badge for getting 80% or above on all 15.

 

P.S. Sorry for the inconsistency in capital letters here, I put capitals for the ones I knew or thought were already games.
