This comedic pop-culture quiz show with the brash host is free for play on the gaming portal "beZerk.com". Once a game installer is downloaded and executed on your computer, you can play solo or with up to two others on the same keyboard. The game is sponsored by short television-like full-screen ads in between some rounds to obtain revenue. New episodes are created weekly and questions load in the background while you are playing. Past episodes can also be played again.

There's different categories such as Gibberish Questions - rhyme nonsensical phrases with common sayings, and DisOrDats - force one player to determine which of two totally unrelated categories something belongs to. One time per round you can "screw your neighbor" by forcing an opponent to answer a question and if they answer wrong, they lose points. But if they answer correctly then you lose the points. There's three rounds of 14 questions and a Jack Attack lightning round. Whoever has the most points at the end, wins. [source:mobygames]
