Chuck is QUIZZING results and thoughts

So let's take a look at how many votes there were for each answer:


Question 1 Question 2 Question 3 Question 4 Question 5
A. 2 A. 1 A. 0 A. 0 A. 0
B. 1 B. 0 B. 2 B. 3 B. 1
C. 1 C. 2 C. 1 C. 2 C. 1
D. 1 D. 2 D. 2 D. 0 D. 2


And the CORRECT answers were:

Question 1: A
Question 2: C
Question 3: A
Question 4: D
Question 5: C


And the WINNERS of the Chuck-Quiz are Po Boy and chuckfanatic with 2 out of 5 each. Nice job guys. As for RP^3 and my roommate (anonymous), you guys answered 0 questions correctly......better luck on the upcoming Chuck quote contest!

As it turns out there was a plurality vote for the correct answer for only 1 out of the 5 questions (and a tie on another question), and there were also 2 out of 5 questions for which nobody voted for the correct answer. However, I would say that the 2 questions for which nobody guessed the correct answer were the two most difficult questions. Also notable is that one commenter thought that all the answers were C, as did another person who did not post their answers......not in a million years could I have planned the quiz out in order to make it look like every answer was C, so that was fairly surprising....and notably awesome. Anyways, my thoughts...


Question 1 - Corrrect answer: A
A. Chuck is now im feeling hella good so im gonna keep on dancing!
B. Chuck is everybody loves raymond and chuck!
C. Chuck is singing some taylor swift in the shower and doesnt care who hears him!
D. Chuck is having trouble deciding if these brown shoes match his shirt!

You nailed it Po Boy. This was classic Chuck.

I think there are three main factors that make this so Chuckish, 1. He mentions wanting to dance, 2. He says "hella good", which is the classic balance of cool and corny that Chuck is constantly shooting for, and 3. The energy......the way he says hella good and talks about dancing, coupled with the exclamation point at the end show the reader that Chuck is energetic and in a good mood, which are things he always strives to portray unless the update is about law school.


Question 2 - Correct answer: C
A. Chuck wishes i could rid the world of ohio state fans!
B. Chuck misses the bus once a week no matter how early i get up! no class today!
C. Chuck wishes i had been watching football instead of studying! go blue!
D. Chuck misses the simpler times when I was in undergrad!

A great analysis by both Chuckfanatic and Po Boy on this one. Chuck LOVES to let people know he's studying and I would say it's rare that he would mention football or sports without mentioning studying in the same sentence. I would also agree that Chuck is a glass half full kind of guy and that he probably would not say that he wanted to rid the world of Ohio State fans (although take note of his update in question 4). I think D was a totally legit answer except that the "I" is capitalized, which is a dead giveaway that it's not Chuck since he never capitalizes anything (nor does he often use apostrophes or commas).

What's different and interesting about this Chuck update is that the "studying v. leisure activity" dichotomy is in the past tense instead of in the present, showing us that Chuck now REGRETS having studied earlier in the day (instead of "Chuck is watching dolphins and made the right choice"). Seriously? WOW Chuck, what a terrible regret to have in life, who knew that going through the most rigorous academic program known to man (a lower tier law school program) would entail such sacrifice? Years from now I'm sure you'll remember this game and the fact that you studied instead of watching it.....but listen, scars are reminders buddy, and they will only make you stronger. Remember when John Travolta's character decides to keep his scar in the movie Face/Off even though the surgeon could remove it for him? Exactly.


Question 3 - Correct answer: A
A. Chuck is doing law college stuff
B. Chuck is doing homework whilst not wearing a shirt
C. Chuck is school sucks but his classmates rock!
D. Chuck is torting then rock band then torting then sleeping!

This was probably the most challenging question, as it was both subtle and simplistic. I can see why answer B was picked twice, as it involved homework but was also provocative and likely to garner comments from his friends. There were two votes for D, but Chuck usually doesn't provide an extensive schedule of his daily events unless they include cooking, drinking, studying, and watching tv in some order.

This update may have been subtle, but it was PURE Chuck. If Chuck had let me write this update for him, it would have said, "Chuck is in law school and doing things that are so complex that people who aren't in law school could never understand them, even rocket scientists would be blown away, no pun intended!" This update is clearly begging for questions as well, since if Chuck was doing homework he would have just said, "Chuck is dying slowly and painfully, but wishes he was at a petting zoo"........Instead, Chuck knew his friends would be thinking, "What other law college stuff is there besides homework??? I MUST KNOW!"

Question 4 - Correct answer: D
A. Chuck is a better cook than sarah palin!
B. Chuck is wondering how anyone could vote for a man that cant use the internet?
C. Chuck is palin could learn a thing or two from law school or by reading the constitution!
D. Chuck is mccain is a desperate and pathetic old white man.

I can't blame anyone for picking B here. Chuck would totally say that. I'm glad some people picked C too because Chuck, and many first year law students in general, think that they know a great deal about the law, even though they are clueless. If you've ever had a conversation with a first year law student about some sort of legal-related news, they will pontificate upon the subject for a moment, but if you ask them even one question they won't have an answer because they don't really know much. It's funny and sad and true, like Budweiser, but with funny and sad added in.

This may have been the most 'unfair' question because the political/caustic/negative side of Chuck is almost never apparent. However, I do think that the language used in this update is hilarious and right up Chuck's alley. WHY would Chuck post this as an update? Is he trying to show his small town friends (re: republicans) that he left behind when he moved to the big city how liberal he is now? Regardless, I think that we can all agree that we appreciate Chuck's contributions to the political dialogue. I remember when the election was a few days away and I was planning to vote for Mccain, mostly because I wanted to hatefuck Sarah Palin, but then I saw this Chuck update and I knew I couldn't vote for him. He's old and white? WHAT! I didn't know that! Seriously? WHITE? Who knew? Thanks Chuck, democracy is safe in your hands.


Question 5 - Correct answer: C
A. Chuck if you dont want random drunk people to build a snowman in the entrance to your store, maybe you shouldnt have a sign that says “holiday cheer is welcome here!”
B. Chuck if you don’t want random drunk people to raid your buffet, maybe you shouldnt be open at 3 in the afternoon! recovering now!
C. Chuck if you dont want random drunk people to stumble into your house and sleep in your bed, maybe your welcome mat shouldnt say "come in, the parties inside!"
D. Chuck if you dont want random drunk people to play duck duck goose, maybe your bar shouldnt have circular tables!

The fake updates in this question were the most fun to write because I stuck to the format of the actual update and I just tried to come up with ridiculous, yet Chuck-like, shit. I also loved chuckfanatic's explanation as to why he picked C, the correct answer, when he said, "I really really want this one to be true." Others who answered seemed to think that Chuck was incapable of having an experience as described in that update, and I would tend to agree with that assessment. However, remember that Chuck thinks being drunk and random is updating his facebook status at 2:30am. I definitely thought that the duck duck goose answer was the most believable, although Po Boy made a compelling argument for the 'buffet' answer, and I would mention that "recovering now" was a last minute addition to that answer.

Let's take a moment to dissect this. I think that I, along with any rational human being, would not assume that a sign saying that there is a party means that the party host is expecting drunk people to just enter his house and immediately pass out in his bed. But is that what Chuck did? If so, I would imagine that he stumbled into the house, pushed his way past some good looking girls, slammed half a bottle of Zima, yelled "bah bah bah" because Sweet Caroline was playing, and then passed out on the homeowner's bed. Newsflash: THAT IS NOT A PARTY CHUCK. That is called being the asshole who can't hold his liquor (Zima). Chuck, what you are describing sounds a lot like the parties that I used to have when I was in 3rd grade, but instead of calling them parties we called them “Sleepovers”, and instead of drinking Zima we drank mountain dew and caught a caffeine buzz. It's nothing personal Chuck, but I would have dipped your hand in cold water SO FAST if you had ever attended one of my sleepovers! Obviously you're always first to fall asleep.....
In reality, none of this probably happened. But what's hilarious is that Chuck tried really hard to make that update sound so cool and he failed SO MISERABLY. Better luck next time Chuck, try mixing your Zima with water......
