After a week out of the Threes top spot, Millar74 comes back with an easy smack-down to win yesterday's quiz. I've lost count...how many Threes medals is this now, Millar? Whatever the official tally, congrats and toss another one on the pile! The smell of victory never goes bad!
Meanwhile, last week's first-ever Threes Triple Crown winner, Donna, came in second, having made the foolish mistake of preferring to actually eat rather than stay glued to the redblog to play the Threes! Spaz came in third and Fiirvoen/Jason was fourth, thanks to what he is now saying is my deliberate plan to run the quizzes later in the day in order to personally thwart him. If only I was organized enough to be so diabolical, Jason...
So, what film featured Sacha Baron Cohen (star of this weekend's Bruno, of course), Andy Richter (Old Conan and new Tonight Show sidekick and one-time star of the brilliant, short-lived series Andy Richter Controls the Universe and Andy Barker, PI), and 30 Rock's magnificent super-page, Jack McBrayer? Follow the bouncing Inviso-Text!
Not the hardest Threes ever: It was indeed Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Director Adam McKay and star Will Farrell's 2006 follow up to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy is one of those comedies you find amusing on first viewing, but then it just gets funnier and funnier on subsequent watchings until you find yourself muttering "Thank you, Baby Jesus" and "I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew" and "Chip, I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey!"" and "'Cause I like to party" all the time. All the time. Care to chime in with the Ricky Bobby quotes you get stuck in your head?
In a performance that came out a few months before Borat, Cohen of course played French driver Jean Girard and Richter was his dog-training husband Gregory. (I was going to toss in either the Elvis Costello or Mos Def cameos, but the quiz was too easy as it was.) And in his first significant film or TV appearance, shortly before making his debut as Kenneth the Page, McBrayer mostly lurks around the edges of Talladega Nights as the equally wide-eyed, guileless member of Ricky's race team.
THAT JUST HAPPENED! my favorite quote.

Its true! Diabolically true! And that's just what a diabolical mastermind WOULD say! Your evil brilliance astounds me.

Well, Ricky Bobby is not a thinker. Ricky Bobby is a driver.
Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby! Don't you put that on us! You are NOT paralyzed!
That... just... happened!
The room's startin to spin real fast... cause of... cause of all the gayness.
So when you say psychosomatic, you mean like he could start a fire with his thoughts?
If we wanted two wussies, we would have named them Dr. Quinn and Medicine Woman!
Ricky Bobby: Wow. I feel like I'm Highlander!
Jean Girard: [Jean chuckles, confused] What is the Highlander?
Ricky Bobby: It's a movie. It won the Academy Award.
Jean Girard: Oh for what?
Ricky Bobby: Best movie ever made.
Help me Jesus! Help me Jewish God! Help me Allah! AAAAAHHH! Help me Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft on me to get the fire off me!
