Between the turbulent 60’s and Reagan-era 80’s, sat the 1970’s. A period of transition. For this week’s Quotable episode, we’re offering a new spin. Each round will be from a different area of the 1970’s. That’s it, 70s quotes trivia.

For round one will be movie quotes. Round two, TV show quotes. Round three will be real-world quotes from world leaders, celebrities, and so on.

Pretty simple, right?

After you’re done with 70s Quotes Trivia, please take a few seconds to fill out the two question feedback we have at the bottom of this page. Each time you do, we get better data on how difficult these questions are and whether or not you’re enjoying the topic.

We’d also love to see you on Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. Follow us there for more trivia fun, games, contests, and discussion. Share your favorite episode or share a funny tale of a really goofed up answer. We won’t judge, we’ve all been there.

Episode Transcript/Quiz

Intro

Ah, the 1970’s. When oil prices skyrocketed and a US President resigned for the first time. Definitely a turbulent decade.

Hey gang, this is the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. I’m host, Brian Rollins. This week, it’s another quotables episode, this time all about quotes from 1970’s.

This time, we’re breaking up the categories in a slightly different way than we did for the 1980s. Round one, the Dorky Round, will be quotes from 1970s movies. You just have to name the movie.

The next round, the Geeky Round, will be quotes from TV shows that aired during the 1970s.

The final round will be quotes from real people in the 1970s, world leaders, actors, musicians, and so forth. You have to give me who said it.

I think that covers it, so let’s get this convoy moving.

8. “First there's a dragon. Now he tells me money talks. Will miracles never cease?”

Pete’s Dragon

9. “Dear God. You made many, many poor people. I realize, of course, it's no shame to be poor. But it's no great honor, either.”

Fiddler on the Roof

10. “It's all so pointless, Gayle. I mean, I know perfectly well what's wrong with me. Gayle, I think I'm pregnant.”

Brian’s Song

The Geeky Round

These are quotes from TV shows.

1. “War isn't hell. War is war, and hell is hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.”

Good Times

3. “If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner.”
