Need a time waster? Here's a sitcom/dictator game
 

It wasn't easy, but I won this time. You are player number 26 to have chosen Guy Raymond "Eddie" LeBec, from Cheers. Guy Raymond "Eddie" LeBec, from Cheers was a tough one, but I've had a lot of practice. Thanks for giving me something to do. Please visit again soon.

I chose Joey Barnes from <i>The Joey Bishop Show</i>. It guessed Jon Stewart from <i>The Daily Show</i>. :hscratch: I thought it was for sitcom characters. After about 10 questions, it just kept asking me obvious current talk show host questions: "Do you have a huge chin?", "Is your bandleader a drummer?" Needs work.

I didn't realize I was supposed to pretend to be someone the first time, so it guessed that I was Dr. Quartermaine from ER (or whatever)... I said it was wrong and I've never seen the show.

Impressive. It guessed that without even ever asking me if she talked to stuffed animals or got cancelled after 4 episodes.

This game has been around for a while and has been a continuous work in progress as far as I know. As Max said, good time killer.

yep. I thought I found the link here last summer. It is a good waste of time. Especially if you don't try and just pick the most obscure character known to man. I ran down the entire cast of 24 one afternoon. Nailed every one of them.

Very nice.

After I answered "no" to "Are you an American?" it kept asking:

"Are you Spanish?"
"Are you Italian?"
"Are you German?"

I won with Tobias Funke from Arrested Development.

I win again! You are player number 55 to have chosen Carla from Scrubs. I knew you were Carla from Scrubs from the start, but I strung you along for a while to make it seem more sporting. I hope that one day you will overcome the powerful sense of humiliation that you now feel. Until then, good luck.

Well, I win this round. You are player number 2381 to pick Buck from Married With Children, and what a clever choice it was! You almost had me for a while, but you let your guard down. Don't worry, it happens to all of us sooner or later. Please play again, and next time I'll be ready for you, Buck from Married With Children

Impressive. It didn't even ask questions that led to Chuck; all of a sudden, it guessed Chuck...

It wasn't easy, but I won this time. You are player number 26 to have chosen Chuck Cunningham from Happy Days (Richie's older brother from the first season). Chuck Cunningham from Happy Days (Richie's older brother from the first season) was a tough one, but I've had a lot of practice. Thanks for giving me something to do. Please visit again soon.

Well, I win this round. You are player number 701 to pick Natalie Hurley from Sports Night, and what a clever choice it was! You almost had me for a while, but you let your guard down. Don't worry, it happens to all of us sooner or later. Please play again, and next time I'll be ready for you, Natalie Hurley from Sports Night.

Impressive, it guessed that I was the Log Lady from Twin Peaks.

Has anyone tried pretending to be a dictator yet?

I messed with this site a few years back but played it again...had to do a bit of research on an old show, but it figured me out:

Well it's useage of the term "sitcom" is pretty open to interpertation. Doctor Who is very much NOT a sit-com, yet was in the database.

Heh, I got:

It wasn't easy, but I won this time. You are player number 8 to have chosen Jeremy Goodwin from Sports Night. Jeremy Goodwin from Sports Night was a tough one, but I've had a lot of practice. Thanks for giving me something to do. Please visit again soon.

Bit of a discrepency in the number of people who chose those two...

Yeah, it guessed Franco pretty easily.

I'm impressed:

But it couldn't guess Molly Dodd. Hmm...

It also guessed Kim Jong Il easily, but had trouble with J.D. Dorian from SCRUBS.

I first saw this like three years ago, but every time it comes up in here, I've got to play it more.

Trying again, I chose Cathy Lane from <i>The Patty Duke Show</i>
Again, I thought this was for sitcoms. I guess not. It asked me about 5 alien questions. "Are you an alien?" "Is your best friend an alien?" "Do you live with an alien?" :hscratch:

Was only the 8th person to try Disco Stu from The Simpsons
