Pop Culture Trivia Drinking Game: Round 1 | Sketchy Scott & Jabroni
Some people spend their evenings doing responsible things.
We did this.
In this episode of Maxwell’s Kitchen, Sketchy Scott and Jabroni play Round 1 of the Pop Culture Trivia Game. There are buzzers, drinks, categories, points, a heavyweight title belt, and a level of confidence that is not always supported by knowledge.
The categories include 80s Hair Bands, What Theme Song Is This, Random, 1960s Music, Breakfast Cereals, 90s Hip-Hop, Italy, Sneakers, and Spice Girls.
So yes, this is technically educational.
Just not in a way your school counselor would recommend.

About This Episode
This is Round 1 of the Maxwell’s Kitchen Pop Culture Trivia Game.
The setup is simple enough: pick a category, hit the buzzer, answer the question, gain a point if you are right, lose a point if you are wrong, and try not to embarrass yourself too badly in front of the internet.
Naturally, that falls apart almost immediately.
The game starts with 80s hair bands and moves through TV theme songs, old cartoons, 60s music, breakfast cereal, and 90s hip-hop. Along the way, the episode becomes less about trivia and more about the kind of side conversations that make you forget there was ever a scoreboard.
Which is probably for the best.
The Categories
The first real category is 80s Hair Bands, featuring Axl Rose, Van Halen, and Def Leppard.
Then comes What Theme Song Is This?, which includes Dawson’s Creek, Miami Vice, Perfect Strangers, All That, and Doug. Theme songs used to be incredible. Nobody wants to admit how good they were, but they were.
There is also a Random category with Taylor Swift’s height, cocaine on U.S. money, peanuts, and Hollywoodland.
Very normal spread of information.
The 1960s Music category gets into Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Woodstock, and Pink Floyd.
Then Breakfast Cereals somehow becomes one of the more disturbing educational sections of the episode, mostly because history has a weird number of people trying to stop everyone from having fun with their own bodies.
Finally, 90s Hip-Hop brings in Tupac, MC Hammer, Wu-Tang Clan, and Death Row Records.
The Side Conversations
The questions are only part of it.
This episode also gets into bad words, old family sayings, bath days, body odor before deodorant, mullets, Beastie Boys, childhood haircuts, margaritas, heartburn, and whether a mullet can help you run faster.
That last one is not scientifically confirmed.
But it feels true.
There is also a lot of talk about the championship belt, because Jabroni enters as the reigning champion and everyone is pretending that means something.
Honestly, that is how most sports work anyway.
The Final Round
The final round includes three categories:
Italy
Sneakers
Spice Girls
The questions cover castrati, Nike’s original name, and naming the Spice Girls from left to right.
It is a strong ending because it forces everyone to confront a hard truth:
You may think you are above Spice Girls trivia.
But when the title is on the line, you better know Posh from Sporty.
Quick Takeaways
This is Round 1 of the Pop Culture Trivia Game.
Sketchy Scott and Jabroni are the contestants.
The categories are dumb in the exact right way.
The episode includes 80s hair bands, TV themes, 60s music, cereal, 90s hip-hop, Nike, and Spice Girls.
The rules exist until the jokes become more important.
The championship belt is treated with more seriousness than it deserves.
This is not for kids.
It is barely for adults.
That is kind of the charm.
