Now, I know it's not all about what you know, but some people just seem to know a little bit too much. You know, those people who can recite poetry from memory or have weird knowledge of really obscure pop culture facts, or even just memorize numbers freakishly well...what do we call them? Oh yeah, losers. Are you one of those people? Well then this quiz is likely for you.

We have compiled a list of the most obscure and random facts from around the internet and beyond, ranging from pop culture to basic math, and if you can manage to get over 50% on here, it's pretty much guaranteed you're a loser, and really, that's okay. The world needs losers, we all need that special someone to go to when we need to know who played a character in only the pilot of a 90s sitcom, or how many dogs King Louis XIV had. The important thing is that you own it, it's really all you need to do. So kick back and relax and put on your thinking caps (and probably pull up Google) and let's get to work. How much of a loser are you? Let's find out.

Question 1

What year did the first Game of Thrones novel come out?

Game of Thrones is epic, it's a massive cultural juggernaut and it's here to stay. Though the show itself has a 2019 expiration date, I have a feeling that this one's gonna be in our hearts and minds for a great deal of time longer. Though the series premiered in 2011 on HBO, the books predate that by a very long time, just under the radar for the most part. Now when did the first novel come out, beginning it all?

Question 2

Where is Grey's Anatomy set?

Grey's Anatomy has one of the longest running times for a television drama. Weaving together medical jargon, humour, and heart wrenching goodbyes to everyone you ever knew and loved, it's universally appreciated and going the distance. Outlasting its other medical counterparts, creator Shonda Rhimes has created a world all her own. Though, funny enough, it's set in the real world! One of the best things about it is the recognizable scenery and all those ferry boats. Where is this legendary show set?

Question 3

Who is the protagonist who moves across the hall in the first episode of The Big Bang Theory?

The beginning of The Big Bang Theory started out exactly how you expected it too. A beautiful woman moves in across from two scientists, hijinks ensue. But really, this spawned a revolution in the interaction within the "nerdy" subculture that has always existed into a mainstream, positive spin. With the addition of this character is effectively began the show, putting together the ensemble that would continue on even to this day. Who was this character who appeared in Episode 1?

Question 4

Who was the first person to speak on Friends?

When Friends premiered in 1994, no one thought that it would span 10 seasons and change the face of television as we know it. It changed the formula of the traditional sitcom, it changed the dynamics of friendship between men and women, it was honestly one of the most important cultural shifts that we experienced through television, and we did it with laughter, heart and plenty of lasting jokes. Who among us hasn't busted out 'How You Doin' when greeting someone, or asked for The Rachel at the hairdresser. But who started it all?

Question 5

What fictional town was Buffy The Vampire Slayer set in?

Buffy was the beginning of a long line of kick ass, beautiful female heroines to come. She was the first teenage girl that made you turn around and think really. Armed with fierce martial arts skills and seemingly unlimited energy, the powers of the slayer pumped through her, allowing her to keep her town safe from the ever present threat of vampires, as the town sits on one of the mouths of hell itself. What fictional town was the backdrop for this story?

Question 6

Where is The Doctor from on Doctor Who?

The Doctor...in the TARDIS...next stop, everywhere. Doctor Who is a cultural explosion, one that has transcended time, space, and even a cancellation to bring together a legion of fans. 12 different actors have come together to portray the mythical planet hopper, with the introduction of our first female Doctor coming in 2018, this is a franchise that will not be fading anytime soon. But where does the titular character hail from? Which planet does he call home?

Question 7

What triggered WWII?

Deep within history, there are certain events that have triggered unspeakable acts, and this is one of them. World War 2 still holds as one of the most brutal and longest battles in recorded history. Germany had become a superpower in the world due to the leadership of party leader Adolf Hitler, he had brought Germany to a point of economic prosperity and leadership, which meant the German people followed his tutelage despite his problematic views on Jewish folks, to name a few. What event triggered the war itself?

Question 8

How many times was Henry VIII married?

Before Big Love and the state of Utah were even thought of, multiple marriages had one face, Henry VIII. Notoriously marrying multiple women throughout his tenure, his exploits have been made into movies, television, books and plays, and the man's notoriety lives on even still. His most famous marriages have also been immortalized within pop culture in many different ways, and his name is still synonymous with multiple wives centuries after his period of relevance. How many wives did he have?

Question 9

What branch of government is covered on Scandal?

Scandal is one of the most addictive and gripping shows on television today, straight from the creator of our other binge worthy addiction Grey's Anatomy, creator Shonda Rhimes has taken the fast paced world of politics and exposed the seedy and often times dangerous underbelly of this certain organization. Lead character Olivia Pope runs a team of "fixers", individuals responsible for making sure political scandals simply just disappear without a trace, not to mention the often times complicated relationship between the leader of this organization and Olivia. Which branch of government does this show cover?

Question 10

What year did Doctor Who premiere?

Doctor Who premiered to modest fanfare, but it's really in the last couple years that the explosion has 1) found it's way to North America and 2) since it's really been a massive part of our cultural zeitgeist. The show itself holds the honour of the longest running science fiction franchise in history, and has gone on to win countless awards and is thought to be one of the most progressive and well designed and written shows in recorded memory. But when did this monstrosity premiere?

Question 11

Who is credited with creating the genre of science fiction?

Science Fiction is one of the most diverse and vast genres in any form of media. The concept of it is so broad that it can be applied to just about any story and have it fit, but the true nature of science fiction is to take the real world and enhance it, usually with, weirdly enough, science. The genre did not start off as spaceships and aliens though, it was crafted over the years starting with a noted author and a story you're not expecting. Who was this author?

Question 12

Which writer is responsible for Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Dollhouse, and The Avengers?

Sometimes a talent comes along that shocks the world and spawns legions of fans without even missing a beat. This particular writer is one of them. Rising to fame with Buffy, he continued to churn out consistent content that enthralled and amazed viewers, even if they didn't do the same to the critics. But finding The Avengers series has catapulted him back to superstardom, with the movies grossing higher than even predicted and cementing him in the pop culture world forever. Who is this?

Question 13

What mathematic equation is also known as a type of food?

We all know how tedious math can be. Most of us spent high school actively trying to ignore that it happened, and since graduation unless you went into a field that involved it directly, most of us never used it again, another chapter in our lives that was otherwise kind of useless. But, the one thing that was always easy to do was come up with ways to make it a bit more interesting. Which is why this particular equation is one no one forgets, when compared to the food of the same name (ish?) What is this?

Question 14

What fictional hospital is Scrubs set in?

With the cascade of ultra serious medical dramas that premiered in the late 90s and early 2000s, Scrubs stood out. Medical shows were never that engaging before, addictive of course, and tugged at your heart strings, but Scrubs burst forth full of humour, with a balanced, equal cast that kept the show together for all 8 seasons. (I refuse to consider Season 9 a valid contender for anything, if I'm being honest.) But what fictional hospital is the backdrop for this show?

Question 15

When was the last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup?

Hockey and Canada seem to be synonymous. It's what they're most known for, other than politeness and maple syrup, and it's been our national pastime for as long as anyone can remember. But, when it comes to the big kahuna of them all, the Stanley Cup, it's been a while since a Canadian team has taken home the cup. We came pretty close with Vancouver but for anyone who follows hockey, we all remember what happened there. Now, when was the last time a Canadian team took home the cup?

Question 16

When did Seinfeld premiere?

A show about nothing! The concept itself was weirdly enough, groundbreaking, and lead to one of the most famed and talked about sitcoms of all time. One would say this changed the entire format for a sitcom, focusing literally just on daily life for 3 weird friends living in New York City. No pretense, no premise, just the day to day antics of 3 neurotic New Yorkers just trying to make it. One of the most quoted and well remembered shows of our time, when did it premiere?

Question 17

What cartoon series has the longest run time of any show on TV?

TV shows all have their expiry dates; you can start to tell when one is on its last leg. The plots start to become stale, the characters almost seem unlikable, and then when it does inevitably get cancelled, no one is really surprised. Well the same can not be said for this juggernaut of a television series. Premiering in 1989, and still airing today, this cartoon family jumped into the hearts of viewers and never left. Which show is this?

Question 18

What starts off How To Get Away With Murder?

You always see those shows, they start off with the end, to really get you hooked. Well, that's the case with another giant from Shonda Rhimes, How To Get Away With Murder. The show opens with the event that would also end that season, and create the central conflict that would set the cast on a path of secrets, lies, and of course, murder. So, what was this monumental event? Due to the title you already have a clue, but what exactly happens?

Question 19

Where was Cheers set?

Cheers was one of those shows you just loved to watch. Funny, poignant, with an incredible cast of super funny people, which spawned multiple spin offs and still remains as one of the most syndicated and widely loved sitcoms of the 80s and beyond. Notably launching the character of Frasier Crane, who went on to have the most successful spin off in recorded history and helped cement the career of Kelsey Grammer among others. Now where was Cheers set? Where did the gang meet every day?

Question 20

What is the basis for The Walking Dead?

When this show opens, a man has been in a coma for some time, and wakes up to find a world in ruins. No explanation for why, people have just dropped like flies and the cities have been ravaged by an unknown source. Divided societies are never easy, and the dangers are known almost immediately when he realizes what the issue is. Eventually the man bands together with his fellow survivors and his family to combat this evil, but what caused this massive shift?

Question 21

When did the character of God appear on Supernatural?

The concept of religion was introduced early to the viewers of Supernatural, with the devil himself appearing early on and creating some of the main central conflict for the remaining seasons of the show. Started out as a subplot but eventually the man himself appeared on the show, but randomly at first, and the first couple times you meet him on the show, you're completely unaware of who he actually is. So when did God first show up on Supernatural?

Question 22

On which show did a musical episode appear?

One of the best things about a show that runs for so long is that it's almost impossible to have a bad idea, any one will work, and it's basically going to be funny regardless, and if it isn't, hey you have the tenure already! One of the most used TV show gags in history is the musical episode. When you have an ensemble cast who can sing, it just makes it a no brainer. Countless shows have done this, but which one are we speaking about?

Question 23

How many times was Ross married on Friends?

Ross was always the black sheep on the show. Always seemingly in love, but not in love, and constantly making more issues for himself, it actually took a lot to even like Ross. But, evidently that was not the same opinion everyone had, as the man was married multiple times... to shockingly attractive women. I don't get it either. But, he was. Counting all marriages, including ones performed while intoxicated, how many times has Ross been married on the length of the show?

Question 24

Where does the term sitcom come from?

The sitcom is an age old tradition, one that seems to be fading fast, but an age old tradition nonetheless. Family dynamics, best friends, even lovers having issues, all incredible backdrops to sitcom stories that we have all fallen in love with once or twice in our lives. Something about watching other people's lives makes ours seem...less mundane, I suppose. As of late there has been a decline in regular sitcoms coming to the air, but where did the term sitcom come from?

Question 25

What sort of gun does Dirty Harry hope that his opponent feels lucky against?

Arguably one of the most famous face offs in film history, and one of the most oft-quoted lines ever, this quintessential line from the 1976 classic Dirty Harry, starring Clint Eastwood in the titular role, exploded to cinemas with its gritty portrayal of the period, and of course, that famous line. The particular model would go on to become very infamous, largely due to this mention in the film. So, what kind of gun was it? Do you feel lucky? Well do ya?
