Ideally not 'you're a quizzard Harry!' or 'Quiztina Aguilera' etc etc

We've been Quiz on my face (poor) and Crouching woman, Hidden cucumber (slightly better) so give me your best and funniest names please!

We had 'The Drinks are on the House' as the landlord used to call out the team names and scores after each round.

He saw through it...😂

Norfolk in chance ( said quickly)

We've started using Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Quiz. It's a long one though!

Tarkan · 19/05/2024 23:51

That's after I insisted that DH had used Norfolk N Chance way too many times and it wasn't funny any more. Blush

DignityAlwaysDignity · 20/05/2024 00:07

We occasionally used to use the names of shops we passed on the way there. My favourite was "Boilings for the Connoisseur".

We used to be the Swot Team, and I think we were Quizty Moore too at some point (only makes sense if you’re Irish).

SirAlfredSpatchcock · 20/05/2024 00:57

Surely it's 'Norfolk enchants', isn't it? That's pronounced in pretty much the same rude way, but it actually makes an intelligible sentence.

'Norfolk in chance' is just a jumble of words; no sense or art to it at all!

novocaine4thesoul · 20/05/2024 01:00

In the 80's we went by "Thora Hird, Cracking Bird" but anything that sort of messes with the quizmaster's head (known friend) was good. We had to split into two teams, so we called one Team 4, 5 and another Team 5, 4, absolute mayhem when the scores were read out. Loving others including "and in first place" or "drinks are on the house" must use them next time as normally we draw a blank.

SirAlfredSpatchcock · 20/05/2024 01:12

I heard of one that I thought was quite amusing: 'Ken Dodd's Dad's Dog's Dead'. Leaving aside the age that KD's dad would obviously be if he were still alive now; never mind his dog!

The problem is that often very witty original ideas spread, and then become so tedious and hackeneyed with their overuse - even worse when people proclaim them as if they genuinely believe them to still be hilariously original.

Every time a team sidles up and proudly announces that they are 'Universally Challenged', 'Quizlings' or 'No-Eyed Deer', 'Norfolk enchants/in chance/and chance', 'The Team With No Name', 'Can't Come up With A Good Name', 'Him & Him & Her' or similar, you can guarantee that the quizmaster is internally rolling their eyes and cringeing for them.

We went to one a few years ago where there was a team called 'No-Eyed Deer' and another team called 'No Idea' - so not technically the same name and so the QM couldn't really ask one team to change it.

However, it got more and more embarrassing for everybody as the evening progressed, with the QM having to keep unnaturally stressing the names in weird places to distinguish: "No I-dee-errrrr" and "No I-dee-arrrrr".

So if anybody tells you a genuinely brilliant one here, that has genuinely hardly ever been heard before, a load of people are going to see it, then use it themselves, then collectively send it on a short journey to Overused Clicheville!
