Tossups: 0. One approximately 800 view YouTube video says this console, that uses technology from Mamorex, is “the most revolutionary and evolutionary console of all time”. That same video praises this “best fucking console of all fucking time”, contains a remix of Blink-182’s “Dammit” sung by Mr. Sweeney from Ned’s Declassified and exalts the inclusion of Hank Hill as a playable character in this console’s version of Marvel versus Capcom 2. In its most famous appearance in the episode (*) “The Bet”, one character says this console is “the most sophisticated gaming experience ever created by humans”. For 0 points, identify this video game console that was a shitty parody of the Gamecube and appeared on Drake and Josh in a episode where Josh proclaims its roundness. ANSWER: The Gamesphere [Editor’s Note: If someone powered this then they either known me too well or they cheated.] 1. This song starts with a second harmonic chord played on the lowest and three highest strings, followed by a fretting pattern 7-5-7-5-3 on the high E string. The whimsical cartoon music video for this song depicts an oak coming out of an astronomical egg and mirages of a woman. The speaker of this song says “Next to your deeper fears/We stand surrounded by a million years”(*) and describe a “lake” where “Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there”. This single, whose B-side was “Long Distance Runaround”, was on the album Fragile and opens with a distinct acoustic guitar riff.. Perhaps most famously, this song was featured in the anime Jojo's Bizarre Adventure in the “To be Continued” sequences. For 10 points, identify this Yes song named after a frustrating traffic circle. ANSWER: “Roundabout” 2. A Buzzfeed Article called “18 Reasons Why Parents Can’t Stand” this anime criticizes how the adults dress like “sexless blobs” and showcased former NFL running back Arian Foster’s criticism of this anime as “unbearable”. A cat in this anime is notable for a random blue splotch on his face but he’s stupid because he gets stuck in a paper bag in a Season One episode. In the first episode of this anime, the protagonist is told to be quiet and stop playing the drum so loudly like a dumbass so he goes into the kitchen and gets dizzy looking at the cookies because they are so high up. Many potentially germane comparisons have been made between the protagonist of this anime and (*) One Punch Man though the main character of this anime is a total dork and lives with his annoying-ass sister Rosie and his ugly cat Gilbert. For 10 points, identify this anime about a Canadian bald kid. ANSWER: Caillou [Editor’s Note: Fuck Caillou. He doesn’t deserve a good tossup] 3. This pitcher debuted in 2007 in the Arizona Fall League, where he posted 16 strikeouts in 14 appearances and led the Phoenix Desert Dogs to win the AFL championship. With Pedro Strop, he was traded in 2013 from the Baltimore Orioles for Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger. On August 30, 2015, this pitcher threw his first no-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers, ten days after becoming the first pitcher (*) in the majors to record 15 wins in the 2015 season.

While Penn Jillette says “/tv/ is a shit board. Into the trash it goes. I’m a big guy for you.”, Mace Windu walks in on Sheev before he does the Sheev spin while this sound is playing in a memetastic video by The Supreme Meme. Perhaps more interestingly, this sound plays five times before glass breaks in the beginning of Primal Fear’s song “Angels of Mercy”. In an advertisement for Transformers 3, this sound plays as a robot crashes into the ground, (*) while more famously, a character in a film that uses this sound said “what’s the most resilient parasite? An idea.” Some trace the origin of this sound to District 9, but Hans Zimmer is usually seen as the originator of this sound. For 10 points, identify this brass impact with a reverb that was most notably used in a Christopher Nolan movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio where his character enters dreams. ANSWER: BWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG noise (also accept just the noise from Inception) 5. A retired NFL player with this surname got into a beef with Justin Bieber after Bieber sped through a neighborhood and he called Bieber a “Trickster Coward”. A player with this surname apparently tried to resuscitate the football after scoring, and in another celebration, tried on a “Future H.O.F.”(*) jacket while still playing. One player with this last name possessed by 1996 top pick Keshawn, led the NFL in receiving yards in both 2008 and 2009, while another holds the NFL receiving yards record in a season with 1964 which he set in 2012. For 10 points, identify this common last name for receivers: including the former Texan great Andre, a former Bengal who renamed himself “Ocho Cinco” and a Lion who retired in 2016. ANSWER: Johnson (accept specific players named Johnson like Calvin Johnson, Chad Johnson, etc.) 6. Description acceptable. Caution: do not buzz on the first clue. One song of this kind features the singer telling the listener to “get off of [his] cloud”, and later in that same song said that he “can't get no satisfaction.” Another song of this type begins with a rendition of the Chicken Dance, and later references “Float On” and “Feel Good, Inc.” One song of this type features segments by (*) System of a Down, Kid Rock, Papa Roach, and Disturbed, and others. The most recent song of this type tells how the singer “came in like a wrecking ball”, before advising kids with “the pumped up kicks” to “outrun [his] gun”. For 10 points, name these songs by a famous parodist that feature various pop songs performed in a certain genre. ANSWER: Weird Al Polka mashups (accept obvious equivalents, but must mention “Weird Al” and “Polka”) 7. This person has been criticized as being anti-second amendment as seen by some critics in an episode produced by this person called “Trigger Happy” and in another show, an attorney general passed a gun control bill. This person’s company is in the process of making a pilot to a TV Show about Nigerian author Luvvie Ajayi. In one show created by this person, Frankie Vargas is shot but for reasons unknown to this question’s writer, Huck, Quinn, and Charlie tried to pin the murder on Cyrus.

May 20th, 2010, marked an unofficial international holiday where Internet users were encouraged to create these works of art. One of these works depicting the central figure holding a sign was published in early 2015 with the title "All is Forgiven," following a more negatively received work of this type depicting the same figure promising (*) punishment "if you don't die of laughter." Perhaps the best-known of these works was intended to depict the central figure handing a salmon helmet to Peter Griffin, but was eschewed in favor of a scene featuring George W. Bush and Jesus defecating on the American flag. That work of this type, which was banned from the episode "Cartoon Wars Part 2," was created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who previously created one of these works depicting the central figure as a superhero. Episodes 200 and 201 of South Park were banned because they contained, for 10 points, what drawings popular among Charlie Hebdo editors that aren't typically well received by the ummah? ANSWER: cartoons depicting Muhammad (sallAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam) (description acceptable, as long as both underlined parts are alluded to) 9.
