You got 10 out of 10 - Did you cook up something good on this quiz or were your answers a little underdone? Pleasantly suprised by my score as I am not a huge fan. But these are running gags so if you see them only a few times they tend to stick with you.
10 of 10. Not everybody's favorite, and not every episode is a knee-slapper, but GA is one of my all-time faves.
9 out of 10! Just forget what was playing when Oliver gave one of his speeches.
