Dumbest Quiz Show Answers EVAR!

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on February 3, 2008 at 6:13 pm


Move over Miss South Carolina, here are some of the stupidest ever quiz answers:

Question: What was Gandhi’s first name? Contestant’s answer: Goosey Goosey.

Warning to all those know-alls who shout at the television screen when contestants offer dumb answers to blindingly obvious questions — one day that could be you. [...]

Here are leading contenders for the "Dumb Down" gold medal:

Presenter: Name a film starring Bob Hoskins that is also the name of a famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci
Contestant: Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Presenter: How long did the Six-Day War between Egypt and Israel last?
Contestant: (after long pause) Fourteen days

Presenter: Johnny Weissmuller died on this day. Which jungle-swinging character clad only in a loin cloth did he play?
Contestant: Jesus

The answers were supposedly compiled by a website JumpingJacksBar.com, but as of the writing of this post, the domain name expired and a spammy placeholder has taken its place. Ironic, but somewhat appropriate for a website dedicated to dumb moments.

    Here's another site that has a pretty good collection of Stupid Game Show Answers (in fact, that's the name of the site:)

    http://sgsa.gameshowvideos.com/

    They also have a number of YouTube videos showing these. My favorite would probably be the "A GROUP OF PILL PUSHERS" one from Wheel of Fortune.

    Well, to be fair, people might think the Six-Day War question was a trick question. Especially if they were thinking of the Hundred Years' War. The answer to that is not quite as simple...
