What a Wednesday night! I'm talking about King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills y'all! Started out with a little mic malfunction, which caused Danny the Quizmaster to miss the intro, but the bar voted for a redo of the classic Saturday Night Live homage! And on the game went!

For the drinking round, teams had to pick two members to play. Each team had to stack toilet paper rolls horizontally between one of their hands and continue to add more. Each team had 20 seconds to see how many they could successfully stack. The team that stacked the most would win the Drinking Round and a round of shots for their team! With 10 rolls stacked successfully, Fanny Pack won the Drinking Round! Congrats!

Coming in third place with a score of 59 points, was team Hanky Panky! Way to win the $10 gift card!

Scoring 61 points and taking second place and winning the $20 gift certificate, were the Mighty Mighty Puffins!

And finally, coming in first place scoring a whopping 65 points, was team diversity poster! Way to go!

And that concludes the recap for Wednesday Night's King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub and Woodland Hills! I'll see you next week!

Wednesdays are usually pretty sucky. They are right in the middle of the week and Friday still seems so far away. But Wednesdays with King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills are a completely different story! You meet with a bunch of your friends, have a couple drinks, and then, that Friday doesn't seem too far off.

For the drinking round this week, teams had to identify the name of the song and band, played as an 8-bit, retro video game style! Two teams got the name of all 10 bands and artists correct, so we moved to a sudden death tiebreaker song, and whoever buzzed in first with the right answer would win the drinking round. It was 3 Glasses 1 Girl facing off vs the Mighty Mighty Puffins, but 3 Glasses 1 Girl won the round of shots for his team! Way to go!

Coming in third place, was team Caterpillar Quitters! They scored a total of 59 points to win the $10 gift certificate for their team! Awesome job!

In second place was one of our tiebreaking drinking round teams, the Mighty Mighty Puffins! They scored a total of 61 points and won a $20 gift certificate!

And in first place, was Hanky Panky! They scored 79 points and took home a $30 gift certificate! Someone got some Hanky Panky after winning that one! Congrats team!

And that does it! See you next Wednesday at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills!

THE OFFICE THEMED EVENT RECAP

Cue "The Office" theme music! You've got yourself the recap of King Trivia's "The Office" Themed Trivia Night at Poor Richard's a.k.a. Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills!

16 teams of "The Office" fans, some dressed as Angela, casual Friday Stanley, Dwight, one of Scott's Tot's, and even the Halloween Episode's 3 hole punch Jim (x2) and black cat Pam were there! They all gathered where the actual characters of "The Office" met up from time to time, at their Scranton watering hole "Poor Richard's"! That's right, Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills was the actual filming location for Poor Richard's in "The Office"! What better location could it have taken place?!

The show began as Assistant to the Regional Quizmaster, Dwight Schrute, popped out of a box he had been hiding in to spy on Pam and her alliance meeting. You can watch the cold open for the event here: https://youtu.be/cvqtXsmlpoY

Dwight also talked about the advertising King Trivia had done for the event, including the billboard that King Trivia put up, to which, Pam (aka Mary from King Trivia) informed Dwight that in fact the billboards had been defaced. When Pam told Dwight it was from the pictures from the photoshoot of him and Andy, Dwight repeated, "No no no no no no no no" as he ran out of the bar and saw the defaced billboard out front!

The game began as always with 6 general knowledge questions, including questions about Sabre's headquarters, Creed's favorite computer game, and the beautiful Amy Adams! For the picture round, teams had to name The Office character who was a blood relative to the character shown! Round 3 dealt with all Holiday episodes of The Office and Round number 4 were clues all about Mose, who Dwight thought would make a great paper salesman because of his fear of paper! Round 5 the traditional Find the Connection round, had answers whose first letters all spelled out "The Office" digital short entitled, "Blackmail". The night also featured only music that was featured in "The Office"!

For the Drinking Round, teams each sent one player up to play Oscar and Kevin's favorite "The Office" game, Hate Ball, because Angela hates it so much! That's right, it was the paper football game! One at a time each team had to try and flick a paper football through the uprights! The first team to go, casual Friday-dressed Stanley from team Process Servants, made it in right off the bat! In the first round only two teams made it. In the second round those two teams could not get it through, so it went to sudden death until one team flicked the paper football through the uprights. Round after round they battled it out until, finally, Stanley from Process Servants flicked it through and thus won the round of shots for his team!

Next, Dwight awarded the Dundee Award to the Most Spirited Team, Beets by Dwight, who bought a silk screen machine to make their own team shirts for the event! All 6 team members had a matching beet colored, Beets by Dwight t-shirt, with Dwight's glasses on a beet! What great shirts! They also won a Michael's World's Best Boss mug! See pictures of them and their t-shirts above!

Round 6, the matching round hand out, was all about Michael's movie "Threat Level Midnight"! Teams had to match each character from"The Office" to their role in Michael's movie! And finally for Round 7, teams had to list 6 of the women that Michael had a physical relationship with in the show, as well as the 4 other businesses in the Scranton business Park that shared the office building with the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin! What a game!

Coming in 3rd place with a huge score of 86 points, was team Mukduk She Wrote, who took home a $10 gift certificate for Pickwick's!

Coming in second, and winners of the $20 gift certificate for Pickwick's Pub, was team Old Friends, New Lovers, and the Disabled, who only missed one answer the entire night on round 2! That one wrong answer cost them the win because they scored 99 points and lost by one point!! So so close team! A valiant effort!

Coming in 1st place and winning $180 in cash money, was team Scott's Tots who answered every question correctly, and would have had a perfect game, had they gotten the Round Number 4 answer on the 10 point clue instead of the 8 point clue! But, man, what a performance! I would never have been able to score that high! Amazing job!

That just about does it for King Trivia's "The Office" Themed King Trivia event at Poor Richard's aka Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills! Thanks everyone for coming out! We hope you had a wonderful time! That's what she said!
