There once was this man from Peru, who dreamed of eating his shoe. He woke up in a fright in the middle of the night and saw that his dream had come true.
This is the first thing we all thought of after seeing the video
Gee Gary you sure are smart
anwer50 who Gary the snail.
I understood that reference!
@@TheNostalgicPlum Did you think that my shell was full of hot air? 🐌
There once was a man from Perth Who was born on the day of his birth He was married they say On his wife’s wedding day And he died on his last day on earth
Pfft lol clever
At least this narrows it down to dead men from Perth who married a woman.
Tautology limerick
@@ThirdLawPair The first rule of the tautology club...is the first rule of the tautology club.
But if he was from Perth, where did he go?
There once was a man from the UK, Who opened up KZhead one day It recommended this vid So watch it, he did But he knew only Joplin and Pelé
There once was a man from Sudbury Whose hosting skills, to none, were secondary Read the category names On his trivia game And will always be remembered as legendary
Who is Alex Trebek? (1940-2020) _Forever in our hearts, always in our inspiration._
For the second to last one, I was like "I know this is the Shah, but I can't remember his name" then the answer was literally just "Who is the Shah" lol
Yeah that was pretty weak lol
He is usually just known as the Shah. No one knows “Mohammed Reza Pahlavi”. If someone says THE Shah that’s kinda who you think of
I thought she would run the category.
@C B S you're literally watching her play a trivia game. How are you gonna see someone's full personality in a tv show like that?
@Air Cardinal I would go to a library party
@Great Scott! Clearly you don't know what it's like when smart girls let loose.
There was once this man from Tatooine...
...whose step-brother grew to be mean So he raised the man's son To become the one Truest Jedi the galaxy had ever seen
@@joshuaholke very well done...
@@joshuaholke Who was Owen Lars?
"...from Tatooine / who is best at piloting machines. / He was promised to be the best Jedi, / but was forced to turn to the Dark Side. / But he eventually turned the tide against Palpadine.
There once was this man from Sudbury Who made you ask questions in a hurry After answers he'd give 80 years did he live Making everyone's sight wet and blurry
There once was a man In Russia long ago He was big and strong, In his eyes a flaming glow
1:12 Doug swoops in for the combo breaker
Alexis pronunciation of Khomeini is just perfect
The limerick for Scott Joplin was painful.
How so?
@@daydodog The cadence/rhythm. "Prove this / Do This".
And some might consider disdainful.
Alec Trebek was so great with his question reading. You could sense the enthusiasm in his voice.
Lmao Doug power play really just stole $1000 from Jennifer 😂
WHAT'S NANTUCKET?
F*** it.
There was a girl named bright. Whose speed was much faster than light. She set one day, in a relative way...and returned on the previous night. Elroy Jetson!
There once was a man from my state- Who was an excellent presidential running mate- Lyndon and Hubert won big- Goldwater lost the prez gig- But we made quite the mistake in '68!!
There once was a man from the sticks Who enjoyed writing limericks But he failed at the sport For he wrote them too short
There once was a man from Japan Whose limericks never would scan. When asked why this was He answered because I always try to fit as many syllables into the last line as ever I possibly can
That last one was the easiest 😅
5 for 5 here. Fun category and clues.
4/5, missed LL Bean
@@absidyabsidy2727 nice job buddy! That LL Bean one was pretty tough, especially if you don't live in the northeast. Here everyone has his boots lol
That last rhyme was painful.
Anyone hear how fast she was clicking the damn buzzer?
I actually met Jennifer before she appeared on jeopardy. She passed through the tourism center in Canada where I was working. Very nice lady.
Some of those rhymes were a wee painful.
There once was a man from Queensland Who should he get rich, said he'd buy land Who from his great heart, Gave crocs a fresh start, And adored all creatures, both fuzzy and fanged.
Who is Steve Irwin?
Well, Jennifer was able to keep her streak going, her style of play works for her at the moment. I think if she faces a competitor with a similar knowledge base, her streak will be over, with that being said, she will still take home a nice chunk of change. Alex has even questioned her betting amounts, he knows that's not a strategy for long term success, way too conservative. Oh well, guess that's what makes the show interesting.
Do you mean Jennifer?
@@KnightfallFelix Yes, thanks for the correction.
"The Shah" was way too general of a response imo.
Don't think "the shah" should be accepted as an answer. Should have had to say his name.
There was really only one relevant person and in the day "the Shah" was exactly how he was monikered.
There once was a milkman named Larry Whose intelligence sometimes could vary He figured somehow He could bottle a cow But he found it was too hard to carry
KEN-TUCK-IT
There once was a man from Ferriday Whose rock music you can enjoy all day With great balls of fire His soul is now higher "The Killer" will never go away
There once was a man from russia long ago He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow Most people looked at him with terror and with fear But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
Nantucket
Could suck it
That once was a qiongqi from Fantasia Whose king and queen wanted their son to be the chosen one To make the prophecy come true That all of Fantasia has ever seen
Courtesy of the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes": "There once was a young man from Sydney / Who drank till he ruined his kidney / He drank and he drank / And it shrank and it shrank / But he had his fun doin' it, didn't he?"
Why didn't they stop her for not answering in the form of a question?
My thought exactly.
She did answer in the form of a question.
@@camilo1455 She did. I heard it.
Goddammit, Doug.
How was "The Shah" an acceptable answer? Isn't she supposed to state his actual name?
Everyone knows who “The Shah” is (Reza Pahlavi), just like if a limerick had spoken about Queen Elizabeth II, it’s OK to say “The Queen”.
A dozen, a gross, and a score / plus three times the square root of four / divided by seven / plus five times eleven / is nine squared, and not a bit more.
3 for 5. I'm dumb lol
3/5 is a great score considering this is aimed at American audience.
1:02 Coulda sworn it was Nelly
Where’s the man from Nantucket?
Really? They let "The Shah" Pass? That's like asking a question about Louis XIV and the answer being "The King". Lol
How many Shahs do you know off of the top of your head? Compare that to how many other kings (French or otherwise) are known. The term “Shah” nowadays refers to the last Emperor of Iran (Reza Pahlavi), given that the monarchy was replaced. It’s like when you say “the Queen” nowadays, you immediately think of Queen Elizabeth II of the UK, not Queen Margarethe of Denmark or any other queen consorts.
@@einsteinboricua And if someone asked who the reigning queen of the UK was, 'The Queen' Wouldn't be an acceptable answer, either, imo. 'Queen Elizabeth II' would be a more correct answer. I would have accepted 'Shah Pahlavi' at the very least.
@@TheBearJew1309 who came before Khomeini (as far as the leader of Iran is concerned)? The Shah. Since you’re going technical, Shah Pahlavi is also misleading given that there were 2 Pahlavis as Shah.
There once was a man of Madras Whose Balls were made of Fine Brass So in Stormy-Weather They both clanged together, and Sparks flew out of his Ass! XD
She didn't form the question for two of the questions.
You can't rhyme this with this!
What is 400 question last name?
Mud!
Barack
But what is Obama’s last name
Barack Obama...
Soetoro!
Care
Obama Obama.
Also, he’s not from Chicago. Unless they mean Chicago, Kenya. I know what Jeopardy means, but I take from as place of birth or at least where a person spent most of their time or considered their home as a child.
Well, I got pele right
Old Rorikstead...
Yeah, and I think his name was Alex.
Starburns?
0:16 she didn't say who is...
She said What is- Under her breath it was super hard to hear. They gave it to her tho
yes she did
Jennifer forgot to say who for 200
Slow it down. She does say “Who is…”
There once was a man from Nantucket..... who kept all of his cash in a bucket his only daughter Nan ran away with a man and as for the cash well...........Nan took it..............(8^P

Charles Wright stfu
There once was a man named Trebick, Who had the world's tiniest...
His name is trebeck*
@@H_Shaw im just wondering why this guy is forcing a joke about an old man's dick
@@H_Shaw: Trebek
@@deiondre0 It's from an SNL sketch where Sean Connery taunts Trebek with said limerick.
You'll rue the day you crossed me Trebek!
She didn’t answer in the form of a question for the first one. Does just changing the inflection of your voice count?
if you listen closely she says who is pele
He a won nobel peace prize for?????????
Cody Allen The Nobel Peace Prize is what it says it is nothing more. You may be thinking The Nobel Prize for, pick one of the catagories to fill in the blank.
@@brucebashore4910 not for what category but what did he do to deserve it?
Cody Allen if you really want to know you can read what the Nobel commitee stated when they gave him the award but I suspect you really are not interested or you would have done that.
@@brucebashore4910 Christopher Hitchens made it clear that he hadn't achieved ANYTHING to deserve it and if he respected the prize he wouldnt accept.
@@brucebashore4910 kzhead.info/sun/mKWNftyPqF99p4k/bejne.html
Thought that Trump would tweet about the Obama clue-but he's not smart enough to understand Jeopardy.
There once was this man from a tower / accused of abusing his power...
First
@@tjhaeussler *medal
Thanks... youtube...? Uuuh, this is probably the worst category ive heard on all of jeopardy and really fails at being a limerick, which is the implied relation.
