60 free Superbad trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Superbad is the 2007 comedy that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg started writing as teenagers, that gave Jonah Hill his first lead, launched Emma Stone and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and turned a fake Hawaii driver's licence into a cultural artefact. This Superbad trivia quiz covers the whole thing: the plot of that one long night, from the liquor-store robbery to the two cops doing donuts in their cruiser, the characters and who played them, the real Vancouver high school the story is based on, where it was filmed, the Bootsy Collins soundtrack, the reviews, the box office and the McLovin DVD that got pulled from Walmart shelves. The 60 questions start easy (who plays Fogell?) and end with production details only a commentary-track obsessive will know, so it suits a movie night with friends or a 2000s film round at pub quiz. Every answer has been checked against documented sources on the film's cast, production and release, not scraped from another trivia list.
