If you haven't yet been to one of the Simpsons Trivia Nights at the Gladstone, you are seriously missing out on a banger night of fun. Even those who claim they only enjoy documentaries and the Discovery Channel can find themselves indulging in the guilty pleasure of a Simpsons episode. Test out your acumen for this favourite cartoon with trivia while enjoying a few episodes and a few beverages among friends.

Woo Hoo! became so popular that it left the Ossington for the more spacious Gladstone. This night attracts some serious “Simpsons” nerds (many of whom come in costume), so if you can’t cite Mr. Burns’ birth year, you’d better bone up.

Thank Jeebus, WOO HOO! is back with another night of Classic Simpsons Trivia. Face off through three rounds of questions spanning the first eleven seasons for the prize of donuts, possibly even those with purple in them—purple's a fruit! Frankly it's high time those shmoes from the box factory were dethroned, so assemble a team of up to six friends with serious Simpsons s-m-r-ts and head on down. Also featuring alcohol, the cause of—and solution to—all of life's problems!

The Globe & Mail:
Correct answers elicit “woo hoos”; mistakes cause “dohs.” An evening of questions concerning the long-running animated series The Simpsons takes in quizzes, episode screenings and donuty prizes.

What does Homer get for free with the purchase of a possessed Krusty doll? What can be found on Candy Apple Island? What do no beer and no TV make Homer "go"? If you know the answers to these seasonally appropriate questions, then you may want to mosey on down to the Halloween edition of the popular new Simpsons trivia series! Now in its new home at the Gladstone Hotel, the event invites groups of up to six friends to pit their cartoon knowledge against other enthusiasts for delicious prizes. In keeping with theme, there will also be an award for the best Simpsons costume—may we recommend Kang and Kodos?

"Hi David I'm Grandpa!" Marge is the vampire lord. Paul Anka sings to the monsters. The aliens don't like boards with nails stuck in them. "Nevermore." Bart is the evil twin. Hibbert is a medical genius. "Abortions for some, little American flags for others!" Homer kills zombie flanders. "He was a zombie?" Homer heeds Abe's logical advice on his wedding day regarding time travel. Bart is the giant devil. "Candy Apple Island?" There's a gremlin on the side of the bus. "There's a gremlin on the side of the bus!"

I could hardly believe it when I found out yesterday that the Simpsons has been on for over 20 years. If you were a fan during the first half of this run, tonight's trivia challenge may be right up your alley. "Woo Hoo! is three cromulent rounds of 20 questions about Simpsons seasons 1-11 (ending with 'Behind The Laughter'), plus three classic episodes on the big screen. Team up with up to six friends for maximum fun, and you could win delicious prizes." There's also cheap beer and no cover. So, yes, woo hoo!

The Ossington will again masquerade as Moe's Tavern, as popular demand brings about a second round of Classic Simpsons Pub Trivia. Grab some friends, crack a Duff, and test your knowledge on the first eleven seasons to win the title of Top Fan—and probably some donuts too. Know the origins of Mr. Sparkle, or for how many miles Grandpa chased the Kaiser to take back the word twenty? Then come be amongst your people.
