This should be rather easy. For example:
A. Sandy Koufax, Steve Carlton, Yogi Berra, Randy Johnson
Berra–not a pitcher.
B. Pete Wilson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Kuchel, Jerry Brown
Kuchel–never a governor of California.

  1. George Sand, Georges Bizet, Georges Clemenceau, George Washington
  2. Catcher in the Rye, Of Mice and Men, Tortilla Flat, Grapes of Wrath
  3. Argentina, Equatorial Guinea, Haiti, Mexico
  4. 12 Angry Men, E.T., Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Jaws
  5. Pork chop, hamburger, sausage, bacon

[Sesame Street]
One of these things is not like the others
One of these things just doesn’t belong…
[/Sesame Street]

  1. 12 Angry Men was not directed by Steven Spielberg
  2. A florin is not a flower.
5
  1. Indianapolis, Baltimore, San Diego, St. Louis

St. Louis.

The other cities host NFL teams in the AFC; St. Loius is an NFC team.

6

Indianapolis does not have a major league baseball team.

7
  1. panther, mamba snake, crow, bullfrog

I think a better answer is mamba snake. Only one not indigenous to the U.S.

8

This is gonna be one of those where there are multiple methods of choosing the “odd one out”, isn’t it?

9
  1. panther, mamba snake, crow, bullfrog

How’s about the panther does not lay eggs?

10
  1. Rosin bag is baseball, all others are football.
11
  1. The bullfrog is the only one that is not black. (Yeah, not all panthers are black, but I’ve heard of “black panthers,” “black mambas,” and “black crows.”)
12

Yeah, this is most likely it. :smack:

13

San Diego.

The other three were all relocated there from somewhere else.

Indianapolis Colts formerly Baltimore Colts, Baltimore Ravens formerly Cleveland Browns, St. Louis Rams formerly L.A. Rams.

14

#9: The panther, bullfrog, and mamba have all been chosen, I say the crow because it’s the only one that is not exclusively carnivorous/predatory. So all four animals don’t belong.

15

  1. George Sand, Georges Bizet, Georges Clemenceau, George Washington
    Sand was a woman

  2. Catcher in the Rye, Of Mice and Men, Tortilla Flat, Grapes of Wrath
    Tortilla Flat wasn’t a book first (was it?)

  3. Argentina, Equatorial Guinea, Haiti, Mexico
    Argentina doesn’t stradle the equator

  4. 12 Angry Men, E.T., Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Jaws
    12 Angry Men, not produced by Speilberg

  5. Pork chop, hamburger, sausage, bacon
    hamburger not from pig

  6. daisies, florins, buttercups, dahlias
    i’d have to guess florins, but couldn’t tell you why

  7. Douglas Edwards, Tom Brokaw, Westbrook Pegler, John Chancellor
    absolutely no freakin’ idea

  8. sideline marker, face guard, rosin bag, whistle
    I can’t even tell you how many innings there are in a football game :smiley:

  9. panther, mamba snake, crow, bullfrog
    panther - the other three aren’t Mac OS’s :D:D:D

  10. Indianapolis, Baltimore, San Diego, St. Louis
    San Diego is not the capitol of it’s state
    So, how’d I do?

16

i was going to say “oooh! good one” but I can’t remember “daisies” being mentioned at all

17
  1. Yes, the bullfrog is the odd one out; the others are (usually) black. : )
  2. George Washington was not French.
  3. The people of Haiti don’t speak Spanish.

“Two Little Pups” did not feature Daffy (it may not even have been WB)

a Puli isn’t a dog (?)

  1. Rabindranath Tagore, Jean-Paul Sartre, Knut Hamsun, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

peplum is a fabric but not a style of hat
