25 Awesomely Funny Trivia Team Names

funny.trivia.team.names

Seeing how this is the first “Summer Friday” of the season, I thought it’d be fun to do something light and entertaining, and reach back into my archives and pull out the funniest trivia team names I’ve encountered over the years. Having produced nearly 350 public and private trivia parties in NYC and elsewhere, one of my biggest guilty pleasures is seeing how creative and funny teams can be when coming up with names. I’ve encountered many, many fantastic team names over the years. Be they timely, inside jokes or more “evergreen” in nature, the most amusing ones have always stayed with me, and give me a chuckle whenever I think about them.

Here are 25 of the best ones for your enjoyment, in no particular order. Please note, some of these may be considered a bit risqué, controversial or borderline inappropriate, inching more towards Rated R than PG-13…however, they’re all really funny. I think you can handle it:

1 ) Rehab is for Quitters
2 ) The Jackson 4
3 ) Fat People are Harder to Kidnap
4 ) Chilean Miners of Knowledge
5 ) Charlie Sheen’s Phrenologists
6 ) That’s Enough, John Mayer
7 ) How is Hosting Trivia a Real Job?
8 ) John McCain VP Selection Committee
9 ) We’re Only Here for the Free Water
10 ) Dick Cheney Death Watch
11 ) Bitch, Give Me My Kidney Back!
12 ) We’re Missing “Glee” for THIS?
13 ) The Team Next to Us Is Cheating
14 ) Mubarak is in Denial
15 ) She’s Gone from Suck to Blow
16 ) My Couch Pulls Out But I Don’t
17 ) Better Late Than Pregnant
18 ) The Bartender’s Haircut Sucks
19 ) Michael Vick Legal Defense Team
20 ) Half Our Team is Home Because of PMDD
21 ) Anything to Get Jodie Foster’s Attention
22 ) My Other Car is Driven by Mel Gibson
23 ) We Still Like LeBron
24 ) Drinks Are On the House Tonight
25 ) Dan Smith’s Guitar Students

Oh, there are plenty more – however, nothing quite compares to hearing them read out loud live at the events. What’s the best trivia team name you’ve ever heard? Leave it below, so that we may all enjoy as well!
