Test your 80s knowledge

I got 77/100, which earned me a silver cube and the rank of “Brat Packian.”

Happy

Speaker warning: if you’re at church, there’s a brief musical intro when you click.

Church, or work. :o

I got a 73.

Then I took a bunch of other quizes and found out I’m a Bleeding Heart Liberal, a Punk Rocker and an Intellectual Drunk. Er…hardly a revelation. But they do seem to be accurate.

  1. ‘Spoon gagger’.

Given that I only knew 13, I’m not ashamed.

79/100.

And what horrific spelling.

I got a 65 with the advice: “No so good…Maybe you should play a little more Pac-Man?”

Hey, I’m an 80’s girl all the way, but 50 of the questions were about 80’s TV, which I watched hardly any of. Some of the shows I hadn’t even heard of. I aced the music, though, and did pretty good on the movies.

61/100
Level=Knight Rider

“No so good…Maybe you should play a little more Pac-Man?”

Ironic, that I just played Pac-Man last night…didn’t help.

I got a 74, but the TV part killed me, especially kids shows. I’m not even sure I had a TV between 1980-1988. I only missed a handful in other parts.

  1. I got my ass handed to me by the TV section, especially the kids shows and sitcoms. I didn’t watch either one in those days. I still don’t watch sitcoms.

And there were loads of questions about movies (like “St. Elmo’s Fire”) and TV shows (like “Three’s Company”) I never saw.

Go figure.

83 - Silver Cube - “Brat Packian”

73–Silver Cube.
:slight_smile:

84 points - Brat Packian.

I was hurt by the fact that I’ve never seen any of the Brat Pack movies, but made up for it with my pathetically complete knowledge of bad TV and sci-fi.

83, Same as Hal. And I aced the music section. Didn’t do so well with the cartoon shows.

76–Brat Packian
Not bad considering that I still haven’t seen most 80’s movies

  1. Like many others, the music was easy but the TV stuff was a little harder. Especially things that were on just one episode, like Micheal Knights real name.

59, which kinda sucks because I graduated high school in 82. I figgered I’d ace the whole thing. Oh well, so much for thinking I was going to get any work done today.

81 - Brat Packian. Some of the answers I didn’t realize I knew, I just punched whatever “seemed right” – and was. It’s amazing the extent to which culture pervades our adolescent subconcious, and persists.

Did anyone else notice the Family Ties question that referred to “Michael P. Keaton?”

I had to re-read that one 3 times to make sure it wasn’t a trick question.
