Arnold from Happy days...Arnold from Hey Arnold...Arnold from Whatchu Talkin' Bout Willis? Never came up with the Governor. But that wasn't really a catch phrase, which would entail saying it repeatedly. It was one line in a movie.

I was thinking of Arnold from the Magic School Bus :/

but it is repeated a million times daily ever since. I hear it quite regularly still.

I am sad that so few people know the Beatles.

I kept typing Get Back and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. Turns out, it wouldn't work because it was wrong.

Thank you for not including Nickelback...and I could only think of Arnold from the cartoon Key Arnold....never seen any terminator movies.

Since the question is phrased "What the empire did", the answer should be STRIKE back. Grammatically speaking.

"The empire did strike back". I agree with dasims45.

Which flavour people favour, "strike" should totally be accepted.

Stuck back is just a silly answer to this question. The question would be improved if the required answer was "Strikes back", because that was the name of the film after all.

Joe Montana was also the 'Comeback kid'

Arnold. I kept thinking of Happy Days. Sheesh!

I was thinking Hey Arnold, which was very much past my time

I was thinking Arnold (Different Strokes)

My first thought was of Arnold from the Magic School Bus... "Please let this be a normal field trip..."

Would've gotten 20/20, but could only think of Montana being known as The Comeback Kid.

People really need to listen to the white album. Such a phenomenal album from start to finish

Definitely one of my "Five albums I'd Take To A Desert Island", even though I'm not a Beatles fan, per se.

Is backstroke really an event? Shouldn't it be just a stroke or something?

MBAMatt

"Strike" back?

samiamco

"Antagonistic reaction to a trend" sounds so non-specific; "pushback" seems like a totally valid answer as well.

That's what I tried. It seems to be the new phrase of the day.

Aren't humpback whales also called hunchback whales? I know that's already the answer for another clue but still...

No.

Maybe add “strike” as a type-in for the Empire clue?

Dyspr0

Maybe accept "Strike Back" for what the empire did? Struck back is awfully specific and the idea is the same

Lol, the first time I saw this quiz I didn't read the title all the way and thought it was the "Backwards Quiz" ha!

I eventually got it but spent a lot of time trying to get 'back in time' to work for Marty McFly. Yes, the movie title is the better answer but I couldn't get the Huey Lewis song out of my head.

The person who created the quiz last created a quiz in 2013. So it is likely he/she is gone so I doubt any of you are going see any changes. Strikes vs Struck - stupid. If we are really going to accept the past tense then the answer should be "lost".

Definitely should use a different QB than the Comeback Kid. I was stuck on his nickname and couldn't think of why it was wrong.

"Strike back" has already been suggested many times, but it still doesn't work. What's up, quizmaker?
