I need a funny and clever team name [More:]

I need a funny team name for bar trivia.

Last week we were trying to come up with something about Mel Gibson, like Mel Gibson's Anger Management. We came up with Mel's Blowers. I know, distasteful and not that clever, but we got some laughs.

Last week the prize winner was Michael Vick's Humane Society.

You get a prize for the most clever name.

I was thinking of coming up with something about Alvin Greene and his action figures but I'm not sure if that is in the forefront of the news.

Any ideas?
All of my Mel-Gibson-related ideas are, uh, distasteful.

I've been doing the bar trivia thing, too, and my team is having the same problem. I think we just have clashing senses of humor. (The funniest team name I've heard so far was this one, used a few days after Rue McClanahan died: "Betty White Is My Last Chance to Fuck a Golden Girl".)

The Alvin Greene one sounds good, but it's most likely too obscure. (In a bar setting, I don't think I'd even recognize the name.) You usually can't go wrong with an easy pop culture reference. It's the cheap route, I know, but laffs are laffs.

Hm...

Atom Eyes, I laughed out loud. The Betty White quote is hilarious.

box, yes! Isn't Lohan going to jail? A Lohan team could be a winner.

Lindsay's Upskirt Sweeties (if this is an all-female team)

Mullacc's fishface/fish hands/fish whatever jokes never cease to crack me up. I think this says more about me than it does about him.

I had to look Fishface up in Urban Dictionary. I don't know what it means. I hope it doesn't mean entry number 2.

Good ones, Atom Eyes!

No we are not an all female team. The men were hesistant to be called blowers last week but we talked them into it.

It's much more mysterious than that.

I think the last time we went to bar trivia, the team that won was "LeBron's Mom: The Original Cleveland Steamer".

That's all I have to contribute - I always have, and always will struggle with creating team names.

*Gets off floor. Wipes away tears.*

I think oneswellfoop has got you in business for many meets to come. (Also, I think you should change your name often to take advantage of all oneswellfoop's suggestions.)

posted by bearwife 20 July | 19:32
Of course, I normally charge $1 for each name you use, but the first one's free. That's assuming you only use it locally. If your team is entered into any Pub Trivia tournament covering more than your local area, regional and/or national licensing rates apply.

another name:
The 2 ???s and 3 Profits
