The Culture Cup 2018 - Results thread

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 15 Feb 2018, 12:54 pm

First topic message reminder :

Round one has come and gone, ladies and gentlemen, which is fitting what with Valentine's Day being yesterday and so many of you likely to have thrown back the covers and opened your legs for a carefree tryst with that man you think will treat you right.

One of the OGs, Mr rick_dagless, gets off to a flying start and receives the maximum 12 points for his choice of Homer and Marge Simpson. A whole 10 votes, enough to leave the yellow pair two clear of the pack. Beer gets second, whilst VDT secures a one more vote on this last day and takes joint third with Hero. We must all take the time to appreciate that only one pick received 0 votes; congratulations SecretFly!

Scoring in the Eurovision fashion (except allowing ties) sees the table looking thusly:

1. Dagless - 12
2. Beer - 10
3. Hero - 8
3. VDT - 8
5. Chequered Jersey 6
5. Samo - 6
5. Compelling and Rich - 6
8. TLD - 3
8. Galted - 3
8. Dolphin - 3
11. Secret Fly - 0
11. Shah - 0
11. Jules - 0
11. dancingweeman - 0
11. nadeem - 0
11. Superfly - 0
11. Trebs - 0

I sent a youtube video link of my choice of the funniest TV advert. Hopefully everyone else does aswell.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 25 Apr 2018, 6:28 pm

The competition with all the momentum of Amber Rudd's political career has had its penultimate round, and we can all be shocked to see the second best Nike football advert take home maximum points for Marky!

A bravo to Superfly, who got 0 votes for an advert he picked out of fear, and to TLD (now Pal Joey) who asked me to pick for him so got the first Australian advert I could find. You can blame my Australian girlfriend for this, who just told me about radio ads with memorable phone numbers before I got tired of listening and shut off.

Galted himself gets a high points total whilst appearing in the list two times. Some may be surprised he has picked an ad that he himself starred in, but his closest CC brothers will know that the man's ego knows no bounds.

Points are as follows:

Marky - 12
Chequered Jersey - 10
Galted - 10
Samo - 7
Me - 7
Compelling - 7
VDT - 4
Nadeem - 4
Dagless - 4
Dancingweeman - 1
Hero - 1
Nando - 1
Jules - 1

also i cant believe a gorilla playing drums was voted 2nd picard

by **Galted** Wed 25 Apr 2018, 9:02 pm

I forgot about the Claire from work one. I was considering going with the diving or snooker ones - they could've been a round on their own.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 25 Apr 2018, 9:15 pm

A round for four people?

by **Galted** Wed 25 Apr 2018, 9:25 pm

Dolphin Ziggler wrote:A round for four people?

Or five, there's the one where he talks to his kid on the phone. I'm sure there's another ad I'm forgetting, so could even be a round for seven people.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 25 Apr 2018, 10:50 pm

5+1 is 7. The CC has always been about language, Maths has been left to rot. I don’t even have 7 friends, Galted, so this sounds like an awful party.

by **Galted** Thu 26 Apr 2018, 7:32 am

I've got seven friends. I just need one more to have ten.

by **Pal Joey** Thu 26 Apr 2018, 11:09 am

Thanks for your assistance Flipster, a big fat zero... but 12 is still one of my favourite numbers... so it's not all doom and gloom.

If I don't make it to the end of the final round I want you to have several of my points.

I HAVE NINE REPLIES FOR THE FINAL ROUND

Mine was clearly going to win so just give me the points... Whistle

Must be due for the annual CC

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 17 Oct 2019, 10:27 am

Get the numbers, rick, and probably need to find someone who can be bothered to finish the whole comp. Maybe a committee

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 17 Oct 2019, 10:48 am

I think what the board needs at this point is some kind of referendum/vote that won't polarize the good posters.

Getting someone who can be @rsed is a different matter, I am more of an ideas man...

Be interesting to see if we can get a few people to do a round each. Spreads the culture around, maybe even give us our best Culture ever.

Just needs someone to keep track of all results.

I could probably knock up a round...

by **Galted** Thu 17 Oct 2019, 1:33 pm

My “Best Scene In Barton Fink” round will be a corker.

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 17 Oct 2019, 2:10 pm

As will my best of Joey Barton's Tweets I fink.

You're welcome, sad that in these slow times such a deserving comment can pass unnoticed for an extended period.
