Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This fictional yellow canary surely needs no introduction. Which Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies character with a lisp delivers the immortal line: "I tawt I taw a puddy tat"?

Answer: Tweety bird

Tweety Bird (also called Tweety Pie or simply Tweety) was originally depicted as a naked, pink baby bird called Orson and was created by Robert Clampett. Fritz Freleng took over when Clampett left the animation studio and he transformed Orson into a yellow canary with an attitude.

It is thought that the bird's real name is Sweety Pie, but comes out as Tweety Pie because of his lisp. This is backed up by Sylvester the cat calling him Sweety Pie and slobbering over the 'S' as he does in his own name. Tweety was voiced by Mel Blanc from 1942 until his death in 1989. Tweety has since been voiced by many artists, including Jeff Bergman and Bo Bergen.
2. "What choo talkin' 'bout Willis?" Perennially youthful-looking Gary Coleman is famous for delivering this line in which American sitcom?

Answer: Diff'rent Strokes

"Diff'rent Strokes" first aired in 1978 and told the story of two African American brothers: Arnold (Coleman) and Willis Jackson (Todd Bridges) who are taken in and eventually adopted by rich businessman, Phillip Drummond (Conrad Bain). The show, which ran for eight seasons and finished in 1986, was known for sensitively dealing with issues of racism, child molestation and drugs.
3. Originally in comic books but later in the movies, which tough-guy character with a heart of gold had the catchcry "it's clobberin' time!"?

Answer: The Thing

Benjamin Grimm (aka The Thing) is a founding member of the "Fantastic Four", a group of astronauts who are given superpowers after being exposed to radiation during a cosmic-ray storm in the Van Allen belts. The character of Ben Grimm was created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee and first appeared in "Marvel Comics" "The Fantastic Four" in 1961.
4. "Yeah, baby". Which groovy character, a parody of James Bond and star of a series of movies, is famous for saying "Oh, behave, baby"?

Answer: Austin Powers

Austin Powers, created and portrayed by Canadian actor Mike Myers, first appeared in the 1997 movie "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery". According to the plot, Austin Powers was cryogenically frozen in the 1960's and thawed out in the '90s when Dr Evil (also portrayed by Myers) re-appears. Powers is stuck in the swinging sixties, in dress, speech and behaviour, but is committed to bringing Dr Evil to justice despite losing his mojo.
5. "De plane, de plane!" Who would ring a bell and call us all to "Fantasy Island by uttering this well-known catchcry?

Answer: Tattoo

"Fantasy Island" aired as a series from 1978 1984 but was initially two made-for-television films. Each episode featured guests coming to the island to live out various fantasies, but usually ended up getting a morality lesson instead. Mr Rourke (Ricardo Montalban) was the benevolent and enigmatic owner of the island and Tatoo (Herve Villechaize) his enthusiastic side-kick.
The producers of the show fired Villechaize before the 1983/84 season, and it proved to be the death knell for the show, such was the popularity of Tattoo.
6. Which character from a segment in the Hanna-Barbara cartoon series "The Huckleberry Hound Show", introduced viewers to the grammatically incorrect: "I hate those meeces to pieces"?

Answer: Mr. Jinx

Mr. Jinx (voiced by Daws Butler) was a dim-witted cat who was forever trying to catch two mice, Pixie (voiced by Don Messick) and Dixie (Daws Butler). Based on the series "Tom and Jerry" this cartoon relied more on dialogue and funny voices for the comedic impact. It is also much less violent and sinister than the bigger budget "Tom and Jerry". Three seasons of this cartoon were made and they aired between 1958 to 1961. In 2005, Hanna-Barbara released "The Huckleberry Hound Show" on DVD, and some episodes of "Pixie and Dixie and Mr Jinx" are featured on this disc.
7. "To infinity and beyond" was the catchphrase of a courageous astronaut in which 1995 movie?

Answer: Toy Story

Answer: Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown is the protagonist in Charles M. Schulz's comic strip "Peanuts". First debuted in 1950, Charlie Brown was originally portrayed as a mischievous, playful boy who loved to play tricks on the other characters. Over time he developed into a sad-sack persona who refuses to give up hope.
9. Known and loved for his "heyyy" and "sit on it" catch phrases, which "Happy Days" character was a high school dropout and had his 'office' in the men's room at the local diner?

Answer: Fonz

Created by producer Garry Marshall, "Happy Days" ran for ten years from January 1974 until September 1984. Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli (Henry Winkler) was initially supposed to be a supporting character, but soon his popularity grew and his role in the show increased to reflect this.

A spin-off series, "Laverne and Shirley", starring Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams, first aired in 1978.
10. Which of these famous catch phrases was not from the television cartoon "The Simpsons"?

Answer: "Kiss my grits"

"Kiss my grits" was a catch phrase of Florence Castleberry (Polly Holliday) in the television series "Alice" (1976-1985). She usually uttered this put-down to her boss, Mel (Vic Tayback) when she was angry with him. "The Simpsons" was the brain child of Matt Groening and first aired in December 1989.

While Homer Simpson (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) is usually the character uttering the phrase "D'oh", most characters have used the phrase at one time or another. Bart Simpson, responsible for the other two phrases and by voiced by Nancy Cartwright, is the devious, school-hating, underachieving yet clever oldest son of Homer and Marge (voiced by Julie Kavner).
