Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who spoke the following words: "If nobody comes down here and buys a car in the next hour, I'm gonna club this baby seal. That's right. I'm gonna club this seal to make a better deal. You know I'll do it, too, 'cause I'm crazy!"

Answer: Crazy Ernie

 "Crazy Ernie" was a used car salesman played by John Cadenhead. This was the first commercial used in the movie.
2. "Ahhh, a red snapper! Mmmmm, very tasty!" was spoken by which game show host?

Answer: Kuni

 This came from "Wheel Of Fish," hosted by Kuni, played by Gedde Watanabe. Of course, Phyllis Weaver (the game show contestant) traded it away for what was in the box, which was nothing. Stupid! Very STUPID!
3. "Don't move...slimeball" was the ominous warning uttered by which character?

Answer: Gandhi

 Gandhi was played in this movie by Jay Levey, Al's manager and director of "UHF." He was featured in the segment, "Gandhi II." No more Mr. Passive Resistance...he's out to kick some butt!
4. Which of the following films was NOT referenced in "UHF"?

Answer: Casablanca

 "Close Encounters" is referenced when George is playing with his mashed potatoes and says, "This means something. This is important." "Star Wars" is referenced when Stanley swings his mop at his kidnappers, making a light sabre sound. "Treasure Of The Sierra Madre" is the source of the line, "Badgers? We don't need no steenking badgers!" Other films referenced include "Raiders Of The Lost Ark," the "Rambo" series, "The Exorcist," "Network," "The Shining," and "Gone With The Wind."
5. "Gun control is for wimps and commies. Listen, let's get one thing straight. Guns don't kill people. I do." Which character spoke this line?

Answer: Earl Ramsey

 Ivan Green was chosen to play Earl Ramsey only because he could scrunch up his face.
6. Who tried to teach poodles how to fly?

Answer: Raul Hernandez

 Originally, Raul Hernandez was supposed to be a deliveryman who somehow got his own TV show. However, certain scenes had to be redone after Trinidad Silva's death.
7. "Just call me 'Mr. Butterfingers'" was the reaction when which character cut off his thumb?

Answer: Joe Earley

 Joe Earley was the shop teacher on the original version of "Town Talk," played by the great Emo Phillips. He amputated his thumb giving a table saw demonstration. This was one of the reasons "UHF" got a PG-13 rating for excessive violence. By today's standards, it seems kind of tame.
8. Which cast member of "UHF" did not star in a television show after the movie was released?

Answer: Trinidad Silva

 Trinidad Silva starred as Jesus Martinez on "Hill Street Blues," but that show finished its run before "UHF" came out. He died in July of 1988, before finishing his scenes for the movie. Michael Richards was, of course, Kramer on "Seinfeld," Fran Drescher was "The Nanny," and Weird Al had a short-lived Saturday morning show on CBS called "The Weird Al Show."
9. The theme song to "UHF" was an original song by Weird Al, but the video featured Al as several different artists. Which of the following was parodied in the video?

Answer: Prince

 Other artists spoofed in the video include Guns 'n Roses, George Michaels, Robert Palmer, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, ZZ Top, Billy Idol, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan.
10. "Today, we are going to learn how to make plutonium using common household items." This was the topic of whose show?

Answer: Philo

 Philo was played by Anthony Geary, of "General Hospital" fame. Incidentally, all you need to make plutonium is an eggbeater, a car battery, and a bowl of strawberry jello. Turn the microwave up to 8000 degrees and place all three items in the microwave for twelve minutes.

Then leave the house for several hours. (This whole explanation was cut from the movie, just thought you'd like to know.)
11. In the first wave of original shows U62 produces following the success of "Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse," which show is not included?

Answer: Strip Solitaire

 "Strip Solitaire" is not mentioned until the U62 promo later in the movie.
12. Which song from the "UHF" soundtrack was NOT used in the movie?

Answer: Gilligan's Isle Thing

 Based on the Tone Loc song, "Wild Thing," this song was nowhere in the movie, though on the soundtrack. Other songs on the soundtrack not found in the movie were "Attack Of The Radioactive Hamsters From A Planet Near Mars," "Hot Rocks Polka," "Generic Blues," "She Drives Like Crazy," "Spam," and "The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota."
13. Which of the following commercial subjects had a free salad bar to try and entice customers to use their service?

Answer: Plots R Us

 Spatula City had a liquidation sale, where you could buy nine spatulas and get the tenth for just one penny. Crazy Ernie just tried to get people to buy cars by threatening to club a baby seal. Only the Plots R Us Mortuary Service was considerate enough to provide food for its customers.
14. On the U62 schedule George and Bob are trying to organize, which of the following is NOT an idea on the board?

Answer: Leave It To Booger

 "Leave It To Bigfoot" is on the board, but not "Leave It To Booger." Others on the board include "That's Disgusting" and "Wide World Of Tractor Pulls."
15. What is NOT on George's proposed Friday night lineup?

Answer: Fun With Broken Glass

 "Fun With Dirt" is the actual name of the show George wants to put on right after the news on Friday. Sounds exciting.
16. On "Town Talk With George Newman," what did George find in Al Capone's glove compartment?

Answer: Road maps!

 But then, what would you expect to find in a glove compartment?
17. At the end of the promo for "Town Talk," George teases the next show. What does he say?

Answer: "Lesbian Nazi hookers, abducted by UFOs and forced into weight loss porgrams!"

 The other three responses are taken from Weird Al's 1993 song, "Talk Soup," from his album "Alapalooza."
18. In U62's big station promo, which show is not included?

Answer: Wheel Of Fish

 "Wheel Of Fish" is only mentioned in the first run of programs earlier in the movie.
19. At the end of the promo, Stanley says, "Be there!" At the time, this was the slogan for which network?

Answer: NBC

 It's one of those dated jokes that doesn't get any funnier with age. Oh well.
20. We'll end with a guessing game. I'm thinking of something orange. Something orange. Orange. Give up? It's a(n)...

Answer: orange

 This is not completely random. Stanley said this while he was kidnapped. The next thing was something blue, but we never found out what that was.
