Trivia Questions Puns

It all depends on the conductor.

Her response: Even. But they smell odd.

Foodlandia is a country where every city is named after a food and every city has a guild to represent it in competitions and such.

It was the finals of the national city vs. city trivia quiz and the two remaining contestants were guilds from Curry City and Pasta City.

The final question was "Which is the most popular pet in Foodlandia?". Each city's guild put their answer in a sealed envelope and they were stored for the next days big reveal.

On the next morning the officials went to retrieve the envelopes and they found a horrific sight, a dead spy from Pasta City and in his hand an opened envelope with a paper inside that read "Curry City Guild: The Cat".

I was just out to dinner with my dad, and somehow the topic of malaria came up. My dad asks, "Do you guys know where the word malaria comes from?" He likes to quiz us on trivia, and this is a question he's asked us lots of times, so my brother and I automatically answer, "Yes, it means bad air." To which, he responds "So, could you get malaria in Buenos Aires?" God fucking dammit, Dad.

At a mini golf course where they post trivia questions on the start of each hole.

Dad: "Here's an easy one for ya. Who said that E=MC^2?" Me: "Easy, Einstein"
Dad: "Wrong, I just said it, you lose."

I was playing a trivia game with my girlfriend and her family when a question was proposed by my girlfriend:

GF: So where exactly is Timbuktu?

GF's Dad: It's somewhere in between Timbuk-one and Timbuk-three!

Laughter ensued.

My dad is a bit of a sci-fi nerd, but he can be a nerd in other aspects as well.

One time when the family was playing a trivia game, the question talked about Whoopi Goldberg's appearences on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." After the question had been answered, my Dad said, "She was a cologist on that show."

"A what?" We were wondering what the heck he meant.

"Yeah," he explained. "A Guinan-cologist."
