▶ play This Weekend: Smackdown! Trivia "We're going to smack team Snicklefitz." That phrase is uttered by our competitors all night. We're the new kids on the block tonight, but don't worry, we're not trading physical blows with the competition. We're playing Smackdown! Trivia, a Jeopardy-esque competition at The Bottleneck to test our trivia knowledge. Photo by Kelly Breckunitch Let's get ready to ... use our brains? Smackdown! Trivia jugs the memory for the most inane answers. Photo by Kelly Breckunitch All the way to victory: If you think you have what it takes to win Smackdown!, check it out at The Bottleneck on Sundays at 8 p.m. Oprah's Foopa, Doogie Howser OBGYN and Extreme Racists are teams that could only be competing in a trivia competition. Host Andy Bob says he came up with the idea in 2000 and the competition attracts a lot of different people. "We'll have new teams show up that leave thinking that they were in over their heads." Bob says. "I like to encourage them to give it another try. We've had many teams become regulars even after not doing so well their first few times around." Bob says the event attracts people because of the competitive spirit, but it is different from competitive sports. "People like competition. Not everybody is into sports, but maybe into sports statistics, so it gives them a venue to spew their knowledge, no matter how useless it may be." Bob says. So what's the best part of being in charge of Smackdown? "All the time I spend researching questions, sitting in front of the computer, carrying boxes of dry erase boards. It's quite the lifestyle," Bob says. "And, of course, being called 'Hey, trivia guy' while grocery shopping. That happens quite a bit, actually." Take your opportunity to research before going to Smackdown! because the questions can be tricky. Do you know what cartoon character was the first to have his show nominated for an Emmy in 1961? It was actually Huckleberry Hound. That's the type of question Bob spends his time researching.
