Pre-Weakest Link Comments, Part 1: How to make Ernie nervous.
Here’s a tip if anyone you know is going to apply for a gameshow — don’t barrage them with trivia questions. Since they’re gonna be on a gameshow, of course they’re going to try to answer the questions. It’s like studying. But for the love of god, at least try to be supportive if they get one or two wrong.
Friend: Weakest Link, eh? Cool. What year did the Challenger explode?
Ernie: 1986.
Friend: WHAT COMPANY SLOGANIZED “NOTHING SAYS LOVIN’ LIKE SOMETHIN’ FROM THE OVEN?!”
Ernie: Uhmm… uhh… Pillbury!
Friend: WHAT DOES C-SPAN STAND FOR, YOU FOOL?!
Ernie: Uhmm… C-C-Congress…
Friend: CABLE SATELLITE PUBLIC AFFAIRS NETWORK, YOU IDIOT! YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK! YOU ARE A FAILURE TO YOUR FAMILY AND TO ASIAN AMERICANS EVERYWHERE! G’BYE!!
Ernie: (reaches for a seppuku knife and tries to disembowel myself.)
Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration. Point being, if I wanted this much strife, I’d go home to my parents house over Thanksgiving.
