"Corner Gas" Part #2 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Tanner

We never actually see Tanner, just occasional camera shots from his perspective and projectile toys from off-camera. It adds to the sense of danger and menace...

Answer: Dentist appointment

Wanda refuses to see the local "sadistic" dentist ("His first name is Lance!") so she and Brent look for one in the phone book. Brent selects a dentist with a good, "solid" name that could sound like someone you'd want to help you work on your house ("Want to go for a beer later, Sammy?") but Wanda will have to go in to Sasaktoon for the appointment.

Answer: Taking bets on Brent's potential injuries

Bets are placed on such lovely outcomes as concussion, general ankle injury, and stitches. In another funny exchange during this scene, Lacey orders a glass of wine ("Not that bag, that's the ketchup. The other bag."). Wonder if it was good vintage?

Answer: Maple Leaf Top Dog

Lacey admits "They were on special."

Answer: Toy cars

"Why do they make these things out of metal?" Lacey asks whether Brent tried asking Tanner to stop throwing cars, and Brent replied, "Yes. He threw a truck."

Answer: Locked his keys in the truck

He struggles in vain to unlock the door using a wire coat hanger, and when Davis the police officer drives up he asks for his advice. "First thing you shoukd know is your passenger side window is open." Hank opens the passenger door, climbs in and reaches across to unlock the driver side door, then gets out of the truck, walks around to the other side to get in. I guess just sliding over didn't occur to him...

Answer: Fires

The ever-crotchety Oscar insists "That wasn't my fault!" Later, while he is alone in the station, he begins playing with a lighter and drops it, starting another small fire (which luckily he was able to put out quickly). Again he says "That wasn't my fault!"

Answer: Groovy Parents, Cool Kids

By Dr Spearmint Fir, who gives hippie-era advice on things like respecting the child's "headspace"... The librarian insists that Brent whisper, even though they are the only two people in the library. When he whispers that he is looking for a book on child psychology, she is puzzled and asks "Chives all over me?"

Answer: Use their full name, and open-ended threats

Using their full name "gets their attention". Open-ended threats such as "I'm coming up there, and I won't be coming empty-handed" and "If I have to come in there you're not going to like what happens" work, because according to Emma a child's imagination is a child's greatest strength and also their weakness. They will fill in the blank with the most awful thing they can think of.

Answer: "You're like Yoda."

Emma replied, in her typical serious style, "I don't know what that means."

Answer: Tied to a recliner directly under a bottomless bird cage

The lasting effects of this experience are apparent when Hank becomes distraught seeing someone pour mayonnaise out of a squeeze bottle.

Answer: Yells at her and tells her to leave

Oscar also yells at a couple who are looking at magazines. I think he is my favourite cranky character of all time!

Answer: Rugby

Hank thought it was soccer.

Answer: No

The show ends after Tanner is finally sleeping, and Hank arrives and is surprised to find Brent uninjured. Brent tries to take credit, but Lacey tells Hank that Brent phoned his Mommy. "You mean Wanda?" She replies that he phoned his OWN Mommy, Emma, and Hank reveals that Lacey must therefore have won the bet.

Answer: Lacey

Seems she had an ulterior motive in going over to help Brent babysit! Thanks for playing!
