Evil dictators and sitcoms ( silly fun game)

OK, I thought that was a good spin, Ike; after all, Elaine from “Seinfeld” was pretty on-target. But when I answered as a guy, it guessed I was . . . I can’t believe I am even telling you this . . . RALPH KRAMDEN.

OK, you can stop laughing, now . . . OK?!

I wouldn’t even CONSIDER laughing.

It’s not all that off-base, is it? Given your penchant for wacky money-making schemes, your fiery temper, your devotion to well-aged furniture, your best friend who works in the sewer…

Using the reverse gender thing, I’m Tapanga from Boy Meets World. I’ve never watched the show. Is that a good thing?

Who the hell is “Jade from Beast”? Apparently she’s my female equivalent. That doesn’t sound good…

And why did it ask me if I’d ever kissed Jasper Pol? Obviously I’m watching the wrong TV shows; I don’t know who Jasper Pol is, and certainly haven’t kissed him. [sub]I mean, I think I would have remembered something like that…[/sub]

As a female, I got Carol Seaver from Growing Pains. That’s not that bad, I guess. Personality-wise, it’s more accurate than Boyd.

Does anyone have anything supernatural I can kill? I can be Buffy instead.

Does this thing do NON-sitcom television, too?

If so, I’m gonna feed it information information information until it agrees that I’m Patrick McGoohan in THE PRISONER.

Well, I stumped it a few weeks ago with Phillipee from Three’s Company.

I just tried it again as myself and it thinks i’m Alex Keaton from Family Ties.

Ha Ha! Stumped it. After asking questions that implied it thought I was Bart Simpson, Garfield the Cat, Martin Crane and Fred Sanford, it told me I am Eddie from The Courtship of Eddie’s Father.

I was actually Gunny Davis, Jonathan Winters’s character from David Rules. So choosing supporting characters from little-known sitcoms is a winning strategy.

Now to try again Ukulele Ike’s way, and see who I resemble personally…

Well, I got more interesting questions being a man. I tried it twice because I wasn’t sure whether I was smarter than my siblings, and whether I was pigheaded and opinonated, so everthing else was the same, but the answers to those differed in my two versions.

  1. After a lot of questions about dolphins, dogs and pigs, it told me I was Archie Bunker from “All in the Family”. Oh. hmm. Being a furriner, I haven’t seen it, but I gather that it was the U.S. remake of “Till Death Us Do Part” which would mean that Archie Bunker was a racist, anti-semitic, dim-witted, obnoxious, cantankerous old git. And who does not own a pet dolphin, of course.

  2. This version (the not pigheaded and opinionated version) told me I was “The Professor” from “Gilligan’s Island”, which, guess what, I have never seen either. Professors on T.V. tend to be figures of fun, or terribly pompous, so I’m guessing that this might be preferable to the Archie Bunker one. Then again, the Prof. might be the evil-mad scientist-bent-on-world-destruction type, in which case both are equally worrying.

I think all of you who ended up as character from “Cheers” or “Friends” got a much better deal. :slight_smile:

Apparently, it has a loose definition of what constitutes a “sitcom”, since one of the times I’ve stumped it it thought I was “Adrian Paul from The Highlander”. I’m assuming they don’t really read the answers that people feed it, since Adrian Paul is an actor who has never beheaded anyone, is not immortal, and has never starred in a sitcom.

It’s taken quite some time to work out who I am (using my real information), but, if I were a TV personality, I would be Darrin Stevens from Bewitch [sic]?! (even though the question just before that was “Do you know anyone with supernatural powers?” to which I answered “No.”) Now, the only question is: do I get to choose which Darrin?

And, in the gender-reversal category, I turn out to be Karen from Will & Grace. Is she the obnoxious secretary? (It’s not a show I watch.)

Hm, perhaps I’m not as attractive and wonderful a person as I’d originally thought…

Alex Keaton? Van, that makes you Ukulele Ike’s son!

Ceyln, you’re spot-on about Archie Bunker. But the Professor on “Gilligan’s Island” was quite a hottie.

Eve thanks for the elucidation! My little Guardian-reader soul is apalled at the notion of being mistaken for the Bunker character, and wonders how it reached that conclusion based on questions like “Are you a dog?” etc. OK, the professor sounds better - I’ll try to pretend that the Bunker suggestion never happened. A “hottie”, you say? Well, I wonder if it’s shown in Britain.

Well, Celyn, the Professor—like everyone else except Ray Jay Johnson—has his own Web site:

I just went through as a female…It said I was Lydia from “That’s Life”. No wonder I can’t find my “soul mate” I don’t watch the right TV Programs, Who the heck is that!!!

Was that the show with that Corky kid, the one with Downs Syndrome? Because If Lydia is his sister (the one who now is on E.R.) Then I’m looking forward to finding my soulmate :slight_smile:

No, that was “Life Goes On.”
“That’s Life” is a new show, about the 30-something girl who dumps her fiance and goes back to college. I wouldn’t call it a sitcom.

Okay, I got Ross from “Friends” this way.
Is that bad or good? I got Lois from “Malcolm In The Middle” when I played as myself.

OK, as a female, I’m either Lilith from Cheers or Rhoda Morgenstern from Rhoda. I don’t know either character - could someone describe them to me?

If I pretend to be male, I’m Mikhail Gorbachev! :eek:

Well, I’m…ack…Monica from Friends.

Maybe I’m better as a guy. If I get Ross, Someone better be on their way over here to perform CPR.

Whew, that was close. Thank God I could answer “Are you in Love with Rachel?” with a No.
Apparently, I’m Phil from Ed. Whoever he is…

Oh. Lilith from “Cheers” was quite an uptight, “cold” sort of psychoanalyst character. Not sure about Rhoda - that was a long time ago! Maybe Gorbachev isn’t such a bad choice, on the whole.:slight_smile:

I just played as myself, and it guessed I was Drew Carey!
