Can someone tell me which in which episode does George play some game where the answer on the card should be Moors but is in fact Moops, and he just won't accept it.

Thanks

Jerry and tells him that his son is a huge fan. Jerry agrees to meet him. At the same time, George and Susan are heading up to Susan's camp which is on the way to Bubble boy's house. Jerry is following George, but George is driving too fast and Jerry loses him. George has Bubble boy's address and while waiting for Jerry to get to his house plays a game of trivial pursuit with the bubble boy. On the winning move, the question is "Who invade Spain in the 8th century," the boy replies the moors, and George replies "Ohhh Nooo! It's the moops." Bubble boy attacks George and in an effort to break free Susan hits the bubble boy and he defaltes. Of course, George gets blamed for it and gets screwed.

i know which one that is, its the bubble boy one, where they go to his house and theyre playing and they get in a fight because the card says moops and the kid said moores, and george wont give it to him write back lisa

Moors, Lisa. The "p" was a typo on a real Trivial Pursuit card and received a lot of publicity at the time. The writers obviously wrote it into the script because of the typo. The Moors were 14th century conquerers of Spain.. from Mauretania.

Yes! Good answer! It was NOT from the Trivial Pursuit game at all, but rather the '72 edition of the Jeopardy home game.

Double Jeopardy, game #16, the $100 answer and question:

A: Only after she defeated them could Isabella consider Coumbus' requests.

Q: Who are the Moops.

Since the episode was written by Larry David and Larry Charles, we might
assume that one of them played this very game and probably had almost as
heated an exchange over it as George and Donald, the Bubble Boy.
