ron and leslie not really a duo at all...more part of an ensemble
likeable but meh no.

My rankings for the big points this category:

10



Yoshie Take****a

Funny name for us, probably not for any non-English speakers. My friend's gf from Belgium only found out her name (Fanny) was funny when she introduced herself to people in Ireland.

Hard to rank this any higher with some great names picked in this category.


9



Harry Baals

I accept what you say about it being pronounced "Balls". I also accept at a stretch that the name could sound like "Hairy Balls", although not in my part of the world.

Still… not that ridiculous of a name. Certainly not as funny as some common (?) names like Ben Dover or Mike Hunt.


8




North West

Hilarious name. If you asked a bunch of comedians to name Kanye's child, this would be among the top choices.

This could easily be top 3 but it's hard to place using the vague criteria I have in my head. Suffers from having two of the biggest attention-seekers on the planet for parents.

It's probably less ridiculous than the names ranked above it though.



7



Moon Unit Zappa

Hard to separate this with the one just ranked above it. I wish my name was Moon Unit in certain circumstances.

Zappa is a fantastic surname by itself, so Moon Unit is unnecessarily over the top imo, and trying too hard to be different.



6



Moxie Crimefighter Jillette

Fantastic name.

Loses points for being a bit try-hard but when you live in showbiz then maybe it's fine.

Also loses some points for not being the famous person themself, just the offspring.

Top tier last round pick from Carl there

nice, nice

kramden and norton suffered because that was a totally abusive relationship in almost every way. I can't say how platonic it was. tom & jerry too. When they were friends they were near unwatchable

nice bronze for moxie she's so cute

i do agree it was tryhard.

But i think that of all these stupid names really

eleanor really took a **** on that category amirite?

Jim and Dwight
Troy and Abed
Ted and Marshall

Woulda been my top duos off the top of my head

I'd like to say this that xander biscuits was robbed.

TROY AND ABED! NICE!

Taking a stab at making a leaderboard here, bear with me.

spurs is in first place followed by spurs with spurs rounding out the podium! next category!

Way too big table that shows how people are doing compared to their expectation.

Currently Carl doing the best, beating expectation by 68 points, and aaronk falling well behind, 90 points behind.

diab in front already

When I was in the grocery business, there was a guy at the head office whose name was Michael Cock. We would get faxes from him sometimes. I think he worked in promotions or accounting.

Who determined expected score?

holy crap tie!!!!!!!!!!

platoon so damn boring

Based on round you selected it in.
In theory your 1st round should get 110 points (best pick in the category).

I think I'll just do one more round tonight and I'll be much more prepared tomorrow to have a better reveal flow...

any requests? A or B?

Ok cool


I’ve never seen platoon but I know it’s a favorite from that year so was a strategic pick
