I’ve been playing this stupid game at Famousr on and off for about 24 hours now. They show pics of two celebs, you decide which is more famous, and you click on that person’s face. (Try clicking right on the person’s mouth as if to say, "Shut up!") I thought with practice I’d get really good at this. Didn’t happen.The best winning streak I had was 14, and yes I do happen to know that’s pathetic. Then again, so is this game. Turns out the celebs’ "famous quotient" is determined by everyone else’s votes. Somehow, Mos Def is more famous than Dick Van Dyke, Brandon Routh is more famous than Liza Minnelli, and SIENNA F*#&ING MILLER is more famous than Lucille Ball. When I beheld the news that Dane Cook was more famous than Shirley MacLaine (pictured), I finally threw in the towel, hitting Apple-Q with a dramatic flourish like the badass I truly am.
Still, you might have fun with it. Here are some tips!
1. Everyone beats Allison Janney.
2. Pretend you’re a teenager.
(2a. Old/dead people don’t matter.)
3. As much as we all love Michael Bluth, do not click on him.
4. You’ll never get this part of your life back. Just a reminder.
Wow, I feel old. I didn’t recognize Dane Cook at all in that picture, but knew it was Shirley MacLaine right away.
I got 25 in a row. Thinking like a teenager really does help.
I hit 27 in a row my first try…
I think Jennifer Aniston beats just about everybody…and there are some really bad celebrity pictures in there! Vivaca Fox’s chest looks smashed, Rosie O’Donell is making a weird face, Chris Farley’s face is whited out…
How on earth is the little girl who plays hermione more famous then sophia loren? how how how?
the key is to think like my 10 year old daughter…if she has no chance of recognizing a famous person from the past then I choose the opposite person.
No, wait…Jack Nicholson beats everybody!…Or Oprah!…or…Nicole Kidman…or Tom Cruise!
I got 39 my first time, but now I can’t get past 15. It really is stupid though, as I end up voting for not who I actually think is more famous, but who has gotten more votes. So then my vote goes to that person and continues the cycle.
My favorite:
Who is more famous? Catherine Zeta Jones or Margaret Cho?
Oh and even though I knew voting for Pam Grier over Seth Green would ruin my 20 answer streak, but I am person with convictions!
Peter Sellers>Debra Messing
I’ll stop now
Allison Janney in fact WAS more famous than someone….But I went with your advice and missed on that one……
that site is a joke!
One more:
Jay of Jay and Silent Bob is more famous than Peter Gallagher. And Bruce Campbell is surprisingly adept
38 in a row. 398. Couch Potato.
Do I feel somewhat embarrassed of my knowledge of who’s famousr than who? Of course not. Why? Because when it’s being used in such a great game like this one, all is well.
I got 15 in a row but couldn’t beat it. I had a harder time with the “Who’s that guy” game on the same site.
