EPIC FAIL

So this is what it feels like to ‘bomb’, BTW. Then again, who says you have to be a comedy connoisseur to prove your fandom? You do not. You are on this website, and that’s enough for us. We’re not demanding people. But we do accept cash, since this was obviously an online tutorial for you. #justsaying

MEDIUM RARE

You’re neither here nor there, but that’s really all of us, amirite? In the context of this quiz, however, you know enough to sound knowledgable AF when you’re talking loudly at a show. The rest you’ll figure as we all go along. I mean, it’s not like you can simply go from fan to superfan in one quick quiz. Or can you? Take it again! We dare you. We double dare you. Siachen mein hamare jawan ladd rahein hain, bro.

COMEDY NERD

WOOHOO! Did you just take this quiz so you could tell people you know everything about everything? That’s bad manners. We wish we could give you a medal or something but we don’t have that kind of budget yet. But we wish you well. Take a deep breath, live long and prosper *vulcan salute emoji*
