Eh, I like Count Duckula better.
Is Count Duckula really all that obscure? It ran for five years on British television, so I imagine that a lot of people there remember it.
In small clubs like BRITAIN, sure it's popular. Anything obscure is popular to some sub cultures, and NOT AMERICA countries are SUB CULTURES! :D
I remember Count Duckula (it was shithouse), and I'm not in the UK.
I like the idea of this game, and will post tomorrow when I get back.
On the IMDB page Count Duckula has a Austrailian TV rating, so it makes sense that it was shown there too...
Point is that it's only obscure from a US of A's cultural perspective. Just about anyone I would speak to here would remember it, despite it being a fairly low-key program.
I think a better obscure reference would be something that would make you say: "I can't believe they have that in an encyclopaedia".
For example, I can't believe someone put in the term
Teabagging. Though, it's not that obscure. However, I think this is made up for by the sheer amount of information. Well more than I would expect on the subject.
A good one in the same vane as Dark Jaguars, only better would be the
Shozygs. An instrument used on the excellent Talk Talk album
Spirit of Eden. I really doubt anyone other than a Talk Talk fan with access to Wikipedia would really know what that is. I still don't know what it looks like.
In regards to finding something suitably obscure
and banal, I'll try my best.

Quote:Cuntbusting should be practiced with a degree of care. Vulvodynia and nerve damage within the clitoris are two of the disabling afflictions that can result from excessive groin trauma in the female, both of which can severely affect quality of life. Bruising and sometimes swelling of the vulva region may also occur.
And I used to wonder why I was never allowed to use Wikipedia as a reference to any research papers in high school...
Since wikipedia does require that any information has some source, it's just a simple matter of following the source link on the page and using that page instead. If there is no source, it's best to ignore that data.
I remember "putting up" with that show to get to funnier stuff.
