Hello everyone. The other day I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ-ItilfC_Q . When the interviewer asked people if they know Pewdiepie, more than a half answered 知らないです. The rest answered 知りません. I learned that the second answer structure is correct. Is the first structure slang? If so, can it be used to modify other verbs and verbs in other forms? For example, are 寝ないです and 寝たです both correct?

Tae Kim's Grammar Guide Question. Double Politeness Is Okay?
時間がなかったからパーティーに行きませんでした。 There was no time so didn’t go to party.
What bothers me is that Tae Kim used a double polite form (I just made up this term). I think that the でした part does nothing and should be omitted. Am I right?

Tae Kim's Advanced Grammar がる Question
Questions:
1. Could がる be used to describe something else rather than an emotion? For example: 'he looks tired/hungry/warm/muscular'. What's the difference between がる and the 'seems like' grammar (みたい／のみ)？
2. What if I make a statement such as 'A tired man left a room' without using the がる grammar. Would it sound like a guess? Can I say that?
The link to the grammar is here: http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/signs#Using_to_act_as_if_one_might_do_something

Kuroko's Basketball Season 01 Episode 01 Questions
I’ve watched the first episode and translated almost every sentence. I watched the translated episode afterwards to check myself. I’d appreciate a word-by-word translation of the following sentences.
1. 結局出さねーのかよ 声 After all...?
2. 部員になってブインブイン言わせよう What is ブインブイン lol?
3. 目の前に野生の虎でもいるみたいなド迫力 What is this part ド迫力?
4. そういうのいいよ 名前書いたら帰る He says: “… and return home” Why?
5. どーせ日本のバスケなんて どこも一緒だろう “どーせ”?
6. てか ありなのか The second phrase?
7. バスケやるならもうちょいほしいな Word-by-word: “if basketball play, too little want”? Makes no sense.
8. キミは体硬い フロ上がりに柔軟して The second phrase?
9. どゆこと ?
10. 肉体とデータを見続けてるうちについた特技 ?
11. まぁ 監督たる所以はそんだけじゃないけどな Translation:”It’s not the only thing she can do”?
12. 監督 何ボーっとしてんだよ The second phrase?
13. ん てゆーか カゲ薄っすっ ?
14. 試合には出てましたけど Translation: “I’ve already proved myself”?
15. オレは 中二までアメリカにいた If translation is “I lived in America UNTIL the second year of middle school” then where is the ‘until’ part? Maybe he says that he was in America during the second year?
16. もっと全力で血が沸騰するような勝負がしてーんだ ?
17. 同学年に『キセキの世代』って強ぇ奴らがいるらしいな ?
18. 弱けりゃ弱いなりの匂いはするはずなのに ?
19. 確かめさせてくれよ ?
20. お前が『キセキの世代』ってのがどんだけのもんか ?
21. 死ぬほど弱え. 体格に恵まれてなくても. 得意技極めて一流になった選手は何人もいる. けどこいつは. ドリブルもシュートも素人に毛が生えたようなもん. This whole Kagami monologue.
22. すげぇいい感じに挑んできやがって ?
23. 火神君の方が強いに決まってるじゃないですか The じゃない after a verb?
24. 喧嘩売ってんのかオイ どういうつもりだ ?
25. それから見解の相違です Translation: “Because of it we have different opinions”?
26. くそっ 神経逆なでされてしょうがねぇ Translation: “Darn it. Because of them I’m nervous?”.
27. 雑魚のくせに口だけ達者つーのが Is this a saying?
28. そろそろ大人しくしてもらおうか ?
29. てゆうか勝てるわけなかったし ?
30. てーめぇー ?
31. あいつ試合出てたか Translation: “Is he about to quit?”. If so why would he think that?
32. てか もらっても何ができんだよ ?
33. 気がつくとパスが通って決まってる ?
34. それによって自分以外に相手の意識を誘導する ?
35. もっと正確に表現すると ?
36. ちゃんと決めろ タコ What’s up with the ‘tako’ here?
37. もともと通いつけのお店なんですよ Translation: “I come here since I can walk?”.
And a bonus question: a katakana word is an adverb and a noun and an adjective at the same time? Like here for example: さっきの奴はアメリカ帰りだし it's an adverb.

What kind of grammar is that?
This sentence is from Kuroko's Basketball, season 1 episode 1:
黒子のパスに気を取られすぎた
What confuses me is this part: 取られすぎた. How come one verb is written right next to another and the first one isn't in a te-form?
