For those who have never heard of it, this was a show on Comedy Central where people would challenge "geeks" in TV, Music, Movies and special "Guest" categories by answering trivia. It's also something I do here at my school a couple times a year. Well, since this is my 3rd time doing it I'm having a hard time generating the trivia questions. So, if you can help me out, I'd love if you can post a trivia question [EDIT: And PM me the answer, so everyone here can play along] in any of:

Movies
Television
Music or
Video Games
