Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "White and Nerdy" got all the way to Number nine on Billboard's Top 100, a new high for a Weird Al single. Which of his songs garnered Weird Al's previous high on the chart?

Answer: Eat It

"White and Nerdy" reached Number nine on Billboard's Top 100, but the video did even better, reaching Number one on VH1's Top 20 video countdown.

2. Which "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" actor makes a cameo appearance in the "White and Nerdy" video?

Answer: Seth Green

Green appears in the background in a scene with a wall of action figures, not surprising since Green has a large collection of action figures of his own.

3. Which of the following was NOT the topic for the corresponding Trivial Pursuit category on the card shown in the video?

Answer: Sports and Leisure: Barry Bonds

Here are the questions found on the Trivial Pursut game shown in the video:

G: In what city is the largest ball of twine built by one man?
E: What's the deal with Lindsay Lohan? I mean, seriously?
H: F.D.R.-Was he faking it?
A&L: On what page does Harry Potter die in the next book?
S&N: What is the melting point of a gorilla's head?
S&L: How many Wicket men are there on a 43-Man Squamish team?

4. The line "Pop, Pop" in the song refers to:

Answer: Bubble wrap

Bubble wrap, the ideal weekend date for the main character. Let's hope his wishes come true and he is not caught ...

5. Which of the following is not true of the "pimped out" MySpace web page for the main character?

Answer: Weird Al uses his own name, Al Yankovic, for his MySpace account owner.

The account owner's name is "White and Nerdy." This is consistent throughout the video, as it is also on the jacket he wears when he is in front of the road flares, as well as when he is in front of the equation.

6. Which other notable white-and-nerdy type celebrity makes a cameo appearance dancing in the background behind Weird Al?

Answer: Donny Osmond

One of the highlights of the video are the multiple appearances of straight-laced Mormon singer Donny Osmond's wild dancing behind Weird Al. Apparently the dancing was entertaining to Al, as short clips of Osmond appear eleven times in the video.

The equation shown on screen during the dance is Schr�dinger's wave equation for the hydrogen atom; however, there is an error in that Planck's constant is given instead of Dirac's constant.

7. The Gangstas show up in three places in the video. Which of the following does NOT describe one of their appearances?

Answer: At the library

Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key of "MAD-TV" appear as the Gangstas in the blue 1967 Chevy Impala convertible automobile at the beginning of this video.

8. The video had scenes depicting the main character involved in each of the following; which one did the main character mention as creating his toughest challenge?

Answer: Choosing between Kirk and Picard as the best "Star Trek" captain

What might we expect from someone who graduated Number one from MIT ?

9. Which of the following "white and nerdy" characteristics was NOT mentioned or shown as one involving the main character of the song/video?

Answer: Attending the annual Comic-Con conference

Other nerdy activities include riding on his Segway, editing Wikipedia articles, Minesweeper, loading sandwiches with mayonnaise, listening to the "Happy Days" theme song, weekend Renaissance Fairs, and collecting "X-men" comics.

10. "Straight Outta Lynwood," which includes "White and Nerdy," features parodies of each of the acts below. Which one's song does "White and Nerdy" parody?

Answer: Chamillionaire

It parodies the song "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire and Krayzie Bone. The rapping was of sufficiently quality that Chamillionaire has placed the video on his personal MySpace web page.

Al's scenes with the road flare outline of Pac Man parodied shots of the original song's video, which featured Chamillionaire rapping in front of a group of road flares forming the Chamillionaire logo.
