As eerily accurate? 😃

I got “I guess that you are Father Jack from Father Ted! Am I right?”. No idea who the hell that is or what show it is either.

I’m Jool from Farscape. I’ve never seen that show so I have no idea how accurate it is, but a lot of my friends IRL call me Jools, so I’ll consider it appropriate.

I then tried again, changing a few answers, and despite having answered yes to the “Are you female?” question at the beginning, it came up with George Costanza :eek:

I’ve got no clue on that one.

Erm. I’m apparently Courtner [sic] Cox from Monica Bean.  
Oooook. 2 points for anyone who finds this to be a description of any existing character/actress from any existing show.

Or dictator. I’m not picky 😉

Thanks for reminding me of this site though, it never fails to entertain me, even if it is just a glorified version of “Guess Who?”

What the fuck? I’m an an atheist, rarely drink, and am pretty pacifistic. How the hell did I get \*\*that \*\* character?

Apparently, I’m Craig Charles from Red Dwarf… couldn’t be more flattered.

It’s a pretty impressive guesser too… it even got me when I was Rickey from Trailer Park Boys.

I suppose that Master Wang-Ka and I (or any of the other SDMB dictators) could do that for you.

And right there in bold is proof that I need to spellcheck more often.

On another runthrough as myself substituting a “no” for “do you have a roomate,” it said I was Mork. Whoever Jeff is, Mork has to be worse.

The response I got:  
“I guess that you are Frank Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond!”

I’m not that tall…

Fred Elliot from Coronation St. Dunno who that is, so I can’t say how accurate that is.

Mork HAD a roommate! That’s just weird.

Steelerphan, I thought Frank was the old guy, not the tall guy.

I’m Carol from the Bob Newhart Show. I think I saw that on Nick at Nite once or twice, but who is Carol? Am I a good witch or a bad witch?

BTW, to people who are Miranda from Sex and the City, she’s a lawyer and smart, but neurotic. Because they’re all neurotic.

Neither is he…the tall one is Robert, the brother. Frank is the loud bald father.
