Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? is XBLA bound

Jeff Foxworthy fanboys (if there are any) listen up! THQ just announced that Mr. Foxworthy's trivia gameshow Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? (AYSTA5G? for short) will be makings its way to the XBLA. Creepy game graphics aside (seriously, Cameron looks like one of the Children of the Corn) and on paper, AYSTA5G? doesn't sound too bad with features including online and local play and over 6,000 question spread across 21 categories. Yeah, the XBLA rendition of AYSTA5G? looks to be true to the gameshow and how it's played. For good or bad.

Howard Stern knows about it. He has complained on his show almost every month since "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader" started, saying he is going to sue, but he hasn't even tried to sue yet.

I used to watch his OLD television show, when he'd do the "Can't Get Into College Bowl" segments. It was like Jeopardy, except the contestants were his show's regulars, and a few random dumb people.

Personally, I'd rather see a video game featuring Howard Stern than fricking JEFF FOXWORTHY. That's one guy I NEVER wanted to see in a video game! Please tell me he doesn't do voice-over work for this... I couldn't deal with the idea of the redneck guy's voice being on my next-gen system.

Hands Down:

This show makes me want to kick a baby.

That's exactly what I was thinking, lol.

I think this could actually be a lot of fun but again I have to ask, where oh where is You Don't Know Jack for XBLA?

You're sitting on a goldmine, Sierra.

I would love to play You Don't Know Jack on XBLA. So many fond memories of playing on PS1. It would be even better over Live.

Seriously! With the headsets and trash-talking and everything... plus there'd finally be another use for those Big Button controllers.

Every few weeks they could release more questions as DLC to keep the game fresh. I'd be playing it all the time.

I just read it's rumoured Jellyvision is working on a Wii version, but I hope they bring it to the 360 as well... it seems like such an obvious fit.

I am smarter than a 5th grader. I win. Game over. Give me my achievements.

I read the "1 Versus 100" Nintendo DS review on IGN.com this week and I just realized..we have a CGI Jeff Foxworthy AND Bob Saget now. (His 'oh-face' pic is priceless, by the way. I have to share.)

I bet that's the face he made when he had to "do certain things" for coke

"I had to suck dick for coke!" "I seen him!"
ROFL that HBO stand-up was sooo raunchy, but way funny

Ben said...

I like how the question mark is included in the acronym

8-05-2008 @ 12:53PM

Eddie said...

That comment is smarter than a fifth grader.

Or maybe I just have the sense of humour of one.

Either way- damn funny, Dustin... Damn funny. Now that I've spit Diet Coke all over my keyboard, I'll be on my way.

Eddie said...

And by comment, of course, I mean CAPTION.

Looks like a potentially fun family trivia game as long as they keep coming up with new questions. That was the biggest downer with Scene-It. No new trivia packs greatly shortens the life-span of a trivia game.

Sorry - I'm still preferring 1 vs. 100.
