It's rather bizarre to see "Judy and myself watched the game" as a general declarative sentence. ", then should it be ok to answer with "No, Judy and myself watched the game"? Thank you.

It's rather bizarre to see "Judy and myself watched the game" as a general declarative sentence.

But if there's a preceding question like this: "Did Judy and your brother watched the game last night?", then should it be ok to answer with "No, Judy and myself watched the game"?

Thank you.

I don't want to be labeled a prescriptivist but

Judy and myself watched the game.

is wrong.

Judy and myselfis the subject of the sentence and the subject form of I is I. If in doubt, remove the other person(s) (Judy in this case) from the sentence: Would you say that "Myself watched the game" is correct?

What is more, Judy and me is wrong too. Still we use it.
Do not always follow the strict and established grammatical conventions.

Please, PLEASE, I beg of you: Use only "Judy and I" when you are the subject.

Myself is absurd and me is just awful grammar. I know you do hear it. Please don't add yourself to the numbers of people who misues this poor word.
