>>137547494
What is Gojira?
>Editor's note: Gojira means gorilla + whale = Godzilla in Japanese
>>137547470
If you think this is bad, my mother watches Jeopardy every single night, and I often watch with her just to see if there's anything interesting, and one of the clues recently under the category "Logos" was the Reddit robot.
They very frequently have questions/answers about other dumb social media bullshit too.
>>137547561
Probably because they know they'd answer "Godzilla" instead.
>>137546923
Topekachu
what is godzirra
>>137547494
>Manhwa
Isn't that Korean? In which case, the Chinese answer, Manhua, would be legit, as well? But then it's no longer Japanese and wouldn't fit in the category.
Yeah, I saw this too and thought of doing this. Where did you find the clues after the fact? do they post them on the website?
>>137547642
>not memorizing it
>not photographing it
>not writing it down

>>137547543
>>137547561
>>137547580
We will take that pronunciation of "gooojiiiraaaa!"
>>137547639
I always pronounced those the same anyways.
>>137547864
Too bad there wasn't a Daily Double question behind one of them where some minor celebrity asks about who was the virtual singer idol who appeared on an episode of Letterman
the $200 dollar was the hardest by far. I dont really associate pinball with pachinko in my head
>>137547613
I saw that one! That was on college jeopardy recently. Maruchan cup ramen was also on there and I felt pretty smart for being able to answer a lot of the college questions.
Maybe one day 4chan or Chris Poole or even Hiroyuki will be on the show.
>>137547994
Yea I thought so too. The bento box one was pretty tricky. The answer was in the clue.

If I got the daily double, I would have made it a true daily double or subtly show off my power level be wagering $9001

Who are Kirino and Neko
I hope you did well /a/
Today's champion was a bus driver from Disney World Florida. He looked a lot like Deka pan man. He's a 3 day champion that knew little about Japanese pop culture except that pachinko is a variety of pinball. He has racked up quite a lot of money so check him out tomorrow if he breaks $111,111
>>137548454
For 100 dollars.
>>137548587
This reminds me, remember the time when Carlos was on Jeopardy? During the interview after the intermission he mentioned that he is a fan of anime and wrote anime reviews.
>>137547183
kek.
also. Who is.
>>137547747
I read that in his voice.
>>137548454
Who is Auska, Rei, or Horo?Finally, a chance to use this image
>>137549424
Ken Jennings is a connoisseur of films and has probably watched more Japanese films than you. I wonder how he will fare in Anime trivia. I wouldn't be surprised if he knows that Asuka and Rei combined are the most fapped to characters in existence.
>Jeopardy
>a foreign category that isn't French
Good joke anon. Unless Alex can flaunt his snobby Quebec heritage, foreign culture never shows up.
