You Don't Know Jack

In a nutshell, some random letters are displayed and the players make phrases that it can be an acronym to.

For example, it displays “MBIF”, and a player might make the phrase “My butt itches furiously.” Then the players all vote on the funniest one, and points are assigned.

There’s dirty rooms, and clean rooms. I’ve never played a clean room.

There’s a little more complexity, but that’s basically it.

Movies edition:

“Did someone order a 12 inch sausage?”
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzip!

Why, that sounds spiffy.

It can be pretty fun. The first time I played it, one of the phrases someone came up with had me laughing so hard tears were rolling down my face. I was hooked.

I played it again last night, and lost interest. Few phrases anybody came up made me laugh, and I wasn’t coming up with anything better, and hence was losing badly to crap. Disappointing.

My god, I loved these games.

Quote #1:
One question asked something about chantilly lace – you had to type in the answer, “whipped cream,” if I recall correctly.

In the choices of categories for the next question was, “Yes, we are bastards.”

The question: “What was the answer to the last question?”

Quote #2:
“Please Stand By: The Hosts are Quarreling”

I also seem to recall something about a zombie Millard Fillmore, but I might’ve hallucinated that one.

“NEXT TIME, ON XENORA…”

I loved the YDKJ ads while the credits ran. Remember the song for the Health Food Store Boy Doll?

With all of the guns and violence today,
We need a toy for the kids that won’t blow them away.
He’s got a ponytail and he works at the mall–
He’s the Health Food Store Boy Doll.

“Oh my.”
