Although I thought the songs were funny in and of themselves, the parody element made me struggle to breathe when I saw it on video the first time, because the musical arrangements are SO well done. I still have the soundtrack CD, although I can't listen to it with Gminor around. I also identified all the musicals they were making fun of.
Team Jeopardy: There is an online trivia game (multiple choice) I used to play at university all the time in teams. Myself, my girlfriend (the "Steffie" inspiration), and her two friends used to play it together, sharing one transmitter box. Between the four of us, we had all the areas of knowledge covered. History, Geography, Lit, Music (me), Movies (me), useless pop culture trivia (me), and we even had a girl who knew sports trivia ('cause I certainly don't). In one memorable evening, we scored a perfect game (15,000 points) and even got the 2000 point bonus question on the Mayans. The Boo Bar (U of Guelph) bought us our drinks for the rest of the evening (everyone had been hanging on our last few answers as our perfect game lined up) since their bar would be listed in the top ten locations based on our score alone.
Sadly, it was all downhill from there, never gotten close since. I would love to go in with a team again some time, and there are lots of bars in Toronto that have the NTN Trivia setup.
