40 free Laff-A-Lympics trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Laff-A-Lympics was Hanna-Barbera's 1977 answer to Olympic fever: a Saturday-morning cartoon that split dozens of the studio's stars into the Scooby Doobies, the Yogi Yahooeys and the Really Rottens, then sent them around the world to compete for gold, silver and bronze medals. This quiz starts with the teams: who competed for each side, which famous faces were left on the drawing board, and which villains were invented just to cheat. It also covers the hosts and guest announcers, the voice cast, the venues and events, and the spin-offs and parodies that kept the games alive. It is pitched at anyone who grew up on Scooby-Doo and Yogi Bear reruns, with easy openers for casual fans and a few deep cuts for Hanna-Barbera diehards. Every answer comes with a short explanation.
