Knock On
Curtis describes American things and their foreign counterparts, linked to references in the television episode. Brad and Ryan identify the counterpart and, as the rules develop, its country. Steals are allowed. The turn convention moves from taking turns toward keeping control, then Curtis gives Ryan first chance under a joking “pity point” rule. The clues and company or film claims below are reported as played, not independently verified facts.

The main round
Five comparisons, usually followed by a country question, share the same continuing round. Brad reaches an announced 4–0 lead. Ryan then answers the music and Thanksgiving items, and Curtis declares a tie. No final numeric totals are stated.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
Kmart and Australia
Ryan guesses Hollister after the clue is repeated and clarified. Brad steals with Kmart for a point. The follow-up asks where the separate Kmart company is: Brad guesses Thailand, Ryan offers Kazakhstan as a reverse steal, and Curtis reveals Australia. He awards Brad a point for being geographically closer. The later country question is distinct from the store-identification answer.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
A counterpart to Mrs. Doubtfire
The group identifies Mrs. Doubtfire, then learns that the requested answer is the other film. Brad guesses “Mrs. Blanchard’s Fire”; Ryan offers “Mr. Doubtfire.” Brad nominates “Elnora,” preserving the owner’s spelling after listening. Ryan separately endorses that nomination, then guesses Captain America: Brave New World and makes the first Deadpool guess. The…

The group identifies Mrs. Doubtfire, then learns that the requested answer is the other film. Brad guesses “Mrs. Blanchard’s Fire”; Ryan offers “Mr. Doubtfire.” Brad nominates “Elnora,” preserving the owner’s spelling after listening. Ryan separately endorses that nomination, then guesses Captain America: Brave New World and makes the first Deadpool guess. The later Deadpool echo is not assigned by this decision. Curtis reveals a title transcribed “Amelia Perez,” while acknowledging he has not seen it. He says Ryan has no points yet. For the country, Brad guesses Brazil and Ryan steals with Portugal; the supplied answer is France. A geographically-closer remark does not receive a clear local award, and the later scoreboard still gives Ryan zero.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
7-Eleven and Japan
Brad identifies 7-Eleven and then Japan. Curtis awards a point for each and announces Brad 4, Ryan 0. The repeated Japan wording does not automatically identify every physical speaker.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
Billy Joel, Elton John and England
Curtis gives Ryan first chance, calling it the “pity point” rule. Ryan objects that priority alone is not a point. He correctly pairs Billy Joel with Elton John, then gives England as Elton John’s country. Curtis confirms the answers and Ryan gets on the board.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
Thanksgiving in Canada
The item originally planned as a tiebreaker becomes Ryan’s chance to draw level. He answers Thanksgiving in Canada, and Curtis declares a tie. This announcement is preserved without reverse-engineering a final tally.
An improvised lingerie tiebreak
A proposed Timu question is interrupted and withdrawn without an answer. The group suggests Victoria’s Secret, Curtis starts looking for a counterpart, and criticism of the episode’s rating interrupts before he returns with a broader question: name a lingerie brand outside the United States.
RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE
Lux wins it for Ryan
An unnamed speaker says no. Brad gives the joke answer “Victor’s Closet.” Ryan offers Lux, and Brad suggests Lululemon. Curtis reports Lululemon is Canadian, then says Ryan answered first with Lux and identifies an English registration. He explicitly declares Ryan the winner. The earlier Kmart suggestion belongs to preparation, not a separate played answer.
