50 free Corner Gas trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Corner Gas was a sitcom about a gas station where nothing happens, and it became the biggest Canadian comedy of its era: a million viewers a week, two sitting prime ministers in cameos, and a provincial holiday for its finale. Brent Butt wrote it imagining the life he would have had if he had never left Tisdale. These 50 questions cover all six seasons, the 2014 movie and Corner Gas Animated: the Ruby and its Toronto owner, Hank's unpaid coffees, Wanda's son, Oscar's ninety jackasses, Emma's actress and her theatre company, Davis's rank, Karen on drums for Thunderface, the Howler's headlines, why everyone spits at Wullerton, the Saskatchewan towns hiding in the surnames, Rouleau's repainted elevator, the Petro-Canada coupon in the DVD, the Kickstarter, and who voices Emma now. Easy questions ask who created it; hard ones ask who wrote the theme. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something even when you miss. Play it solo or print it for a Canadian trivia night.
