The TV Quiz Show Thread

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Not a quiz show, but I think this deserves an airing.

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

It can turn into a decent comedy show. The Eye runs a column 'Dumb Britain' where it takes the cretinous answers contestants give:

Bradley: Which of these describes a libertine or a rake? A Don Juan, B Don Carlos, C Don Felipe.
Contestant: Is that a rake you would use in the garden?

For anyone with youngish kids, I was hearing that response in the voice of Mr. Biscuit.

Pass

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Think she might have moderate learning difficulties.

 

[Cotontoquinn]

Pass

She really let Wolverhampton down with this full speed, rapid approach.

 

[Bill Walker]

He isn't thick nor a moron.
The fact that he is clever, monied, without scruples, a liar and believes he is above most of us should be mentioned though.

Feck off Musty, I do have a couple of scruples....

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Thick as a plank

And not even listening out for Sandra and Jamie coughing!! Plonker.

She really let Wolverhampton down with this full speed, rapid approach.

Maybe it was a good tactic, she was obviously waiting for questions like "What's it called when you overtake a car?" and "What do you get when you ace your exams?" - and my favourite "What do you say to Bernardo Silva when you break and attack the opposition goal?"

Got these questions from a friend :)

 

[knuckles]

So funny, still laughing, genius!

Tipping Point must really dredge the depths of human stupidity to find their contestants. I can’t believe the host is able to keep a straight face when he hears some of the answers.

Mastermind and Only Connect it most certainly isn’t.

Don’t know how it’s so popular. It’s a shit format for a game show.

Questions wrong obviously

 

[RobMCFC]

Can’t remember which show it was on but my favourite ever dumb answer was to the following question:

In which board game can a player make the Hungarian Opening?

The contestant answered: Monopoly.

I don’t know much about chess, and I wasn’t even sure I was right, but it’s one of those questions where you make an educated guess. The comedy comes from sitting there and wondering what was going on in the contestant’s head that could make them imagine that that was a plausible answer?

Unintentional comedy genius.
