Look Smart Trivia 5: Prehistoric Mammals
8Everybody loves dinosaurs, but the most underrated megafauna are the prehistoric mammals. Beyond the mastodon/mammoth and the sabertooth cat, they just haven’t had the pop sensibility to capture a commercial audience. Maybe, in some small way, today’s visual trivia quiz can help. Come on, Hollywood! A warm-blooded Jurassic Park is a sure-fire blockbuster!
In the meantime, the first one of you to name all of these effortlessly cool creatures will score a $5 coupon code from Meh. We’ll officially anoint that champion in Monday’s post - yesterday’s winner and answers are below. Insert sign-off catchphrase here!
Yesterday’s video edition of Look Smart Trivia proved that @sammydog01 has watched more NBC Thursday Nights than the rest of us. The clips were from:
- 30 Rock
- A Different World
- ER
- Boston Common
- Joey

@medz as long as it’s not a Prison Wallet Pal…
@medz
for #4
@medz Hmmm. Number 3 sounds probable to me. I should probably do some internet research on my work computer…
Yeah go, sammydog!!! Yay!
@moonhat Thanks- I won because I watch more boob tube than anyone else! Maybe next week it will be a cupcake eating contest- another of my skills.
@sammydog01 no, you would lose to me on that one.
@moonhat @sammydog01 I’m surprised at how many people thought that last show was Friends.
@cinoclav by george I think you’ve got it! Personally I liked the album better
@candiedisilvio1 Actually, I had to edit #5 below.
(It was too late to edit my post above.)

Final edit now that I’m not trying to do this on my damn phone.
Look Smart Trivia 5a:
Prehistoric Mammas
Hey paleontology fans, speaking of megafauna aiming for the pop sensibility to capture a commercial audience, here’s a visual trivia quiz on some warm-blooded would-be blockbuster material Hollywood (and international cinema) found in our ancient past (at least 50 years ago, anyway!)

Long Time No See
OK Mac, where is it?
Ku Ku Katchoo!
I didn’t forget!
And Men Liked It That Way!
The first one of us to name all of THESE effortlessly cool creatures will score - well, nothing. But hey, tomorrow is screen-print Sunday, eh? We’ll see what kind of eye candy THEY come up with. Insert sign-off catchphrase here!
@aetris While all of them are beautiful (especially Raquel Welch and Julie Ege), I’m kind of thinking some of these are definitely not mehpropriate.
@cinoclav - I’m thinking MOST Mehmbers are over 18?
But great catch on Julie Edge!
@aetris Not all and they still have standards for images shown. Btw, I had to research Senta Berger. She was gorgeous. We also have Rae Dawn Chong and Darryl Hannah to round out the list.
@aetris @cinoclav I beg to differ. It’s Saturday night after all. And you just gave me the one I didn’t know. Although when I tried search Google for image one came up on a porn site. Is that where you found it @aetris?
@sammydog01 - Nope, just a Google search on caveman movies.
@cinoclav @sammydog01 - Holy pectorals, Irkmen! For even MORE chest-baring action, check out today’s screenprint!
@cinoclav - WHOOPS! Actually, I now see there was more to that Julie Edge picture than met my eye at the time. I should’a gone with Barbara Bach…
