Question - 215

After yesterday's s***ty question, this should be more straightforward. Connect the three visuals.

Answer: The visuals gave rise to the phrases "Jumping the shark", "nuking the fridge" and "jumping the couch". They all refer to that tipping point when a favourite TV show (resp. movie, celebrity) has horribly and unalterably changed for the worse. Rajeev, Mekie, Srivats, Keshav and Iam got it. Well done.

i think these are weird phrases that are added to the english language each year. the first one could be 'riding the waves'. the second one is 'nuking the refrigerator' from indy 4 and the last is 'jumping on the couch'

In the great Eric Cartman's words, the following are acts that are weak / lame / totally lame

Jumping the shark (Fonzie of Happydays and Pulp Fiction fame)


Nuking the fridge (Indiana jones latest disaster)

Jumping the couch (Tom cruise on Oprah)
