This Jeffpardy parody video perfectly skewers a bizarre Jeopardy episode
And of course, the answers are about Jeff too.
Here’s the Bizarre, Hilarious Jeopardy! Spoof You Need Right Now
I’ll take “really dumb but somehow really funny spoofs” for $1000, Alex.
Say hello to Jeffpardy! It’s just like Jeopardy!, except every contestant is named Jeff, every category is called Jeff, every correct answer is Jeff, and host Alex Trebek is (probably) named Jeff. Some delightful weirdo decided to edit a 2014 episode of Jeopardy! — which did feature a “Jeff” category — and edit it into a truly bizarre work of art.
At one point, a contestant responds to one of the clues with, “What is San Francisco?” and Trebek (a.k.a Jeff) has to tell her that’s wrong. Luckily, another contestant rings in with the correct response: “What is Jeff?”
Hey, we warned you this was going to be dumb. But it’s worth a laugh.

Forget “Potent Potables,” there’s a new Jeopardy category sweeping YouTube right now: Jeff.
Uploaded to YouTube in September, a video called “Jeffpardy!” parodies the classic trivia game show “Jeopardy!” The video, as noted by Slate, uses footage and audio clips from a real “Jeopardy!” episode in 2014 which actually included a “Jeff” category, with each answer incorporating a famous Jeff, such as Amazon founder Bezos.
This video takes that a step further. To start, all the contestants are named Jeff.
The questions are about Jeff.
And of course, the answers are about Jeff too.
“What is San Francisco?” guesses this contestant. She is — obviously — incorrect.
Unlike a regular episode of “Jeopardy!,” the video does not mention the episode’s corporate sponsor. We’d say Jeff is a pretty good guess though.
You can watch the whole video here or below.
