Fun Police Summer Grand Championships (Results are in!)

[Psy]

THE FOLLOWING IS A FUN POLICE BULLETIN

All cars and posters(both people that post posts and posters that hang on walls) be on alert for suspects that fit the following descriptions:

• Are from the 90s
• May be tattooed in inappropriate areas
• Probably did not have lasting fame
• Enjoyed fried chicken more than Havok

The Rewards for being the first to correctly identify all suspects is as follows:

• Bragging Rights
• Custom Title
• Trophy to show everyone how much better you are than them. There will be actual, digital proof of this displayed so that nobody can rightfully deny you your ability to gloat and rub their noses in it.

Okay folks, here's the Summer contest. I will supply you with several snippets from music videos and/or wrestler titantrons/entrance videos. You will supply me with the names of the artists and the names of the songs in the case of the music videos, for the themes/titantrons I want the name(s) of the wrestler(s). The only big clue you will receive, aside from the one where I clipped them actually moving gear with their names on it...whups...is that the music videos will be from the 90s. The themes/titantrons will be from whenever. Do NOT reply to this thread with your guesses. Send a PM to Officer Killjoy . You get one go. Whoever gets the most right between now and June 15th will receive the prize*. Other participants may receive prizes as well at my discretion. Good luck.

*- In case of a tie, we will pick numbers or something to get the winner.


1) This one was edited slightly to remove the singer since they were easily recognizable.

[Psy]

The turnout was quite higher than I expected so early, so I am reducing the duration of the contest accordingly.

[Psy]

Joint winners are Vern and @supersweetbotch, as they both had perfect scores. Vern was faster on the trigger, so wins the grand prize - a nifty trophy as his custom title. Supersweet, let me know what text you want for your custom title, or if you want a runner up trophy as the title.

Honorable mentions:

@notoriousnd22 : 20/21
Gus Richlen Was Wrong : 16/21
DSR : 15/21

Note: Next contest will be later in the year and will likely have a live element to it, likely over Raidcall or something like that. It'll (maybe) be live to avoid a bunch of Googling answers. I'd do it in a couple sessions to accommodate people in different time zones.

[Vern]

WOOHOO! Thank you Psy! I'm sorry Supersweet.

I knew my random and supposedly useless knowledge of 90's pop culture would pay off some day! I might have to stop sulking in the corner and start posting again...

How would the runner up trophy look like? Or what would it say? Also congrats Vern for the quicker trigger finger.

Honestly not sure. I found clipart for the first, added text & hover text. I might try for a silver trophy of the same thing, with the text "Officially Better Than Most of You", but that may cover the whole thing. But then, it's just a silly little thing in the first place, don't know that it'd detract at all. I won't be offended if you just want a text custom title instead.

I just want something different then most people. I need time to think about my custom title. Can the trophy say Second Place Silver Fox?

[Psy]

This is what I threw together before you replied:

I can change the text easily enough. The text color is going to have to be darker, anyhow. Pic needs to be resized so as not to stretch the miniprofile as well.

[Deleted]

I love it! I want it

[Psy]

....why'd it go purple? That's odd.

[Deleted]

I love the colour purple!

[Psy]

Well, if that's what you want that'll do then. Enjoy!

[DSR]

I want a significantly smaller trophy that says "participant" on it! I'VE EARNED IT, DAMMIT!

[Vern]

I want to know which ones others got right and wrong and maybe learn a bit about peoples thought processes. I explained mine to Psy in my entry pm and, while most I knew pretty much immediately, there was a couple I had to rack my brain and work for.

Here's an insight into mine (copied from my entry):
"The only thing that gave me #4 was that I remembered it was in a bowling alley. I also had to watch a few Foo Fighters videos for #5 because I recognized Pat Smear but couldn't remember the damn video. It helped that I knew it was an early one before he left. #9 was by far the hardest to track down though, that video had almost completely slipped out of my mind. I got lucky there crapshooting suggested videos. I spent about an hour contemplating sending you a list with every guess but that one until I found it."

I'd also like to add that Zoot Suit Riot about gave me a panic attack. Most of these I watched the video first again just to make sure but I instantly wrote Zoot Suit Riot down on my list as the answer and didn't think twice about it. A while later, after I sent it in, I decided to watch the video and that segment wasn't in it at all. I knew it was them though and did some more research... Evidently they made two totally different "official" videos for that song.
