Justin Bieber isn't even close to being cool enough to make up half of Tenacious D. He would be like, 1/13th at best.

Aww, man. I tried to put together Spanish names that would work, and I actually thought of "Julio Iglesias," but I didn't know that was the name of a real person, so I didn't try it.

Great set of quizzes. Took me a while to realise I wasn't looking for the name of Barack's off-road vehicle though.

there is now something probably more famous to say about JB; although i guess the same could be said of JL so maybe it’s deliberate

I find it strange that only 57% got Joe Biden, a lower percentage than Madison or Kennedy, when more recent people generally have an advantage in these quizzes.

Madison and Kennedy are listed as presidents, whereas Biden is listed as Vice President, an office whose holders are less likely remembered. Also, the word "veep" is used in the clue which not everyone might understand, especially non-Americans.

And apparently the answer for JB used to be Jack Black looking at previous comments (tenacious D). Quizmaster does not always resets a quiz after an answer is changed, so the results will skewed in those cases.

Blitzed through it all only to be thoroughly disappointed that I had no idea on the very final 2. Judging by the stats, I'm not the only one to suffer this heartbreak.

I can spell it Lichtenstein to my heart’s content and always get an autocorrect but god forbid i type two Ds in Madison. Gaslighting me into thinking I’ve confused a US president with a Spurs midfielder.

Accept Maddison please. Almost everyone who isn't the 4th president has their name spelled that way.
