Guess which dictator I am!

This fucking thing knew that I was George Bush...wow

11:42 / 28.01.03

I answered it as myself ages ago, and it guessed i was Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties. I'm Michael J. Fox! This makes me prouder than anything I've achieved in real life.

I stumped it with Joey Ramone, though (he was on the Simpsons that one time).

i love that game...c..cant stop playing it

Whisky Priestess

The unspeakable bastard .... answering as myself (with a pivotal change of answer on the question "Does everyone who works with you fear your displeasure?") it first guessed I was Joy from Drop the Dead Donkey and then that I was Penelope from Just Good Friends!

It didn;t take long to twig Pol Pot and Rimmer from Red Dwarf though.

Matthew Fluxington

13:15 / 28.01.03

Bah. I tried it twice, once as the fairly obvious George Costanza, and the second time as Rory from Gilmore Girls. It took a long time for it to figure out that I was being Rory, but I absolutely loathe the question that tipped it off - 'does your grandmother control your life'. Ugh. That's a terrible question. I should've said no.

Try being Mr Hat from South Park. It claims to have him on its database, but I bet it won't guess right.

I guess that you are mcgyver from mcgyver! Am I right?

Bow before me.

Ethan Hawke

14:11 / 28.01.03

Last night my girlfriend and I tried the blandest sitcom character we could think of: Ben Seaver from Growing Pains. It shocked us with an accurate guess right out of the blue.

that

14:20 / 28.01.03

Whisky - just tried being Mr. Hat. It guessed I was Kit from Knight Rider. Ha!

Loomis

14:23 / 28.01.03

I stumped it with Duckman, but then it's been so long since I've seen the show I can't be sure I answered every question accurately ...

Number of evil dictators and/or sit-com characters in database: 144915

Can this be true? Are there really 144915 sit-com characters and dictators?

sleazenation

14:37 / 28.01.03

well considering its got quite a variety of SF characters and people are polaying as themselves i'm guessing this is rapidily becoming and everything database.

Loomis

14:38 / 28.01.03

It depends whether those who are both dictators and sitcom characters got a separate mention for each role. If they only get mentioned once then I would expect that number to be far smaller.

I win again! You are player number 62 to have chosen Optimus Prime from Transformers. I knew you were Optimus Prime from Transformers from the start, but I strung you along for a while to make it seem more sporting. I hope that one day you will overcome the powerful sense of humiliation that you now feel. Until then, good luck.

Damn it!

Am I just naive, or is that thing's accuracy awe inspiring?

Maybe too obvious a choice.

rizla mission

14:55 / 28.01.03

Playing as myself, it says I'm "crawl from son in law", whatever that may be. It doesn't sound healthy.

The Natural Way

15:12 / 28.01.03

So far it's guessed most characters from Buffy, but it has struggled with a few of them. Some of the questions have been inputted by really nobby kids, by the looks of things. Or very frightening men-made-of-milk.

Loomis

15:17 / 28.01.03

I have no respect for a programme which cannot differentiate between wise-cracking sidekicks. It thought I was Jazz from the Fresh Prince when it was obvious that I was Cockroach from the Cosby Show. Sidekicks are the glue that we sniff to make sitcoms good.

Mourne Kransky

22:09 / 28.01.03

Got Endora from Bewitched in 8 I think. Astonishing, clever little computer. Aunt Clara took 23. Larry Tate only took 18. Darren took 33 though. This gets addictive!

Oh, and Wellard from 'Stenders only took twenty something.

When I was Exidor from Mork and Mindy, it told me I was Shaka Zulu (but I may have been wrong about his hair colour).

Ethan Hawke

22:16 / 28.01.03

I have found the flaw in the program!

It did not recognize Megatron. For shame.

w1rebaby

22:40 / 28.01.03

ooh, megatron, how did it miss that out?

The great thing about these decision tree learning systems is that they are an accurate reflection of the knowledge base of the users. So, being pop culture net users, you're competing against every other pop culture net user who's ever used it.

I'm surprised it didn't get Megatron though.

22:44 / 28.01.03

Damn, thought I had it there. Must have been the goat that gave it away. Can you belive that 245 people besides me picked Barbara from The Good Life?

(Kill me now. I beg of you.)

Mr Tricks

23:22 / 28.01.03

heh... I beat it twice... once as me...

the second as Oscar the grouch!!!
It thought I was FONZY vrom happydays...

maybe I'll try Grover next.

The Return Of Rothkoid

23:28 / 28.01.03

Well, it didn't know Ted Bullpitt from Kingswood Country. But then again, I'm not sure he's really worth recalling...

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

01:38 / 29.01.03

I was the 5th person to pick Peter Dragon from Action...I have to get much more obscure.

wembley can change in 28 days

05:38 / 29.01.03

Is Oscar the grouch a dictator, do you think, or a sitcom character?

07:28 / 29.01.03

Rizla, I don't know how to break this to you, but I think you may be Pauly Shore.

The Strobe

07:38 / 29.01.03

Oh shit.

I did it as myself.

Kramer from Seinfeld.

Is Skeletor European?

Fallen off seat. Bust guts. About to lose job.

09:20 / 29.01.03

Didn't get Xena, Warrior Princess.

Assuming she's not the princess of power.

The Natural Way

09:39 / 29.01.03

Oooh, it's good - it got Basil Fawlty and the rest of the Fawlty towers cast real fast. And it even got Jacko from brushstrokes!

12:52 / 29.01.03

After reading this The Onion piece, I tried the evil dictator Willie Wonka and stumped it. It thought I was Gary from Men Behaving Badly.

The Falcon

14:09 / 29.01.03

Doing it as myself I got: "I guess that you are Lex Luther from Smallville! Am I right?"

Well, no. I just said I wasn't bald.

Cool otherwise, though.

rizla mission

15:24 / 29.01.03

Rizla, I don't know how to break this to you, but I think you may be Pauly Shore.

sweet god in heaven..

rizla mission

15:27 / 29.01.03

HAH! Played as Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls, and it thought I was "Vicky the girl robot from small wonder"(?). SUCKER!

Kit-Cat Club

17:56 / 29.01.03

It didn't recognise Jo of the Chalet School, so I have added her to its database - not sure whether she's a sitcom character or a dictator though... now for Miss Annersley...
