Suicide is painless, but obvious trivia isn’t! (And I can take or leave it if I try)
Did you know the theme song from M*A*S*H* actually has lyrics? (Submitted by Michael B. Richards.)

Dean’s Martini
Did you know famous inebriated crooner, and former partner of Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin really just had apple juice in his glass instead of an alcoholic beverage?
I LOVE (but not really) L.A.!
Still Alive… Sort Of
The Obvious Trivia repository is still here! Although it’s not really A Thing on Never Not Funny anymore. I occasionally link to this site, and continue to add entries in the rare times Obvious Trivia comes up. Enjoy the archives! You can still vote and view results of the polls.

Why Hasn’t This Been Updated (Much) Since 2010?
Good question, and I have a very good answer.
ObviousTrivia.com was started to catalog “Obvious Trivia” that came up on Jimmy Pardo’s award winning podcast Never Not Funny. But then I started NeverNotNotes.com, which is the official home of show notes for the podcast. When any obvious trivia comes up on the show, it’s now part of the show notes, including the ability to vote, just like here.
So, don’t fear. This site will remain up for the forseeable future as an archive of past obvious trivia, but for all your NeverNotFunny show note needs, including obvious trivia, just head on over to NeverNotNotes.com.

Raiders of the Loose Bowels (I’m sorry, it’s late)
Hey! You know that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where the sword guy shows off fancy moves, then Indy just shoots him? Yeah, that was because Harrison Ford was sick that day, and he didn’t want to have to film a whole fight scene!

Hey did you know Barry Manilow did not write his hit I Write the Songs?
