The Pop Culture Spelling Bee was one of the games we played at the inaugural Mental Floss Trivia Show. Now you can play along at home! Simply choose the proper spelling of each name. Then spend the rest of the day figuring out whether knowing the answers is a positive thing.

  1. Not bad for not really paying attention to pop culture, 8 out of 12. This is pretty cool though, would love to see themed ones like 80s Big Hair Bands, the Brat Pack and others based on current pop culture.

  4. Turtle — Just in season one:

    “During the first season, Stamos’ character was called ‘Jesse Cochran,’ but by Season Two Stamos had enough clout to ask the producers to change his name to ‘Jesse Katsopolis’ in recognition of his own Greek heritage (Stamos’ original family name was Stamotopoulos).”

    I don’t think it’s a good thing that I always seem to do well on the pop culture quizzes.

    ReCaptcha: causing concern

    Yes…it is.
