How was the South Park geek?


I haven't been able to see the episode with him in it. I'm a big South Park fan and want to know how he did.

Can anyone tell me if he was able too answer the questions or not? And what kind of questions they asked? Any help would be much appreciated.

She was pretty good, though probably not on the level of the Playboy or Rap geeks; I was a (winning)contestant on an episode where she was a guest geek and fortunately avoided a challenge with her I definitely would have lost . . .

I watched the show frequently, and frankly, and I don't say this to be mean or anything, but truth told, I never had any respect for her... as a geek.

The questions they asked her were always easy ones that any amatuer -might- know, and any fan WOULD know.

Reason being, there were things that would get asked of the music geek, or movie geek, or TV geek, or any number of the guest geeks, like the Comic Book Geek or the Star Trek Geek, in these VAST fields of "study" as it were, that would actually challenge them... things that close to nobody would ever know... sometimes that even they didn't know..

Her entire topic was basically .001% of what the TV geek alone was expected to know... ya'know?

To be a "South park" geek, you hardly have to know anything at all. I mean, if you know nothing about South Park, that's one thing, but we're talking about a immensely popular, modern, show here. Her questions were 90% of the time, no-brainers. Any person whose a fan of the show, and has watched every episode, could go toe to toe with her on pretty much every question she ever got asked. I know my 10 year old sister did.

She would sometimes comment on her Southpark memorabilia collection, which I will admit, sounded bigger than those of most people I know... but owning the most crap doesn't make you the foremost expert in the field.

I don't know how she lucked out and got the job, but I would imagine there are thousands of people who could have done it just as good, if not better, than her.

And her Cartman impression sucked.

PS. I felt the same way about The Simpsons geek.

She may had easy questions,
can't remember,
but I think she was undefeated?
But I don't think anyone challenged her to a final showdown either?

I remember her getting the first question asked of her wrong which was what was the name of Mr. Hankey's son with the peanut in his head. She didn't know. The answer is Simon BTW.
