The Worst (UK) Game Show Answers Ever

By Miss Cellania in Everything Else on Feb 5, 2010 at 10:01 am

This list of hilarious answers to game show questions proves that American contestants aren’t the only ones who fall apart under pressure. Here is a sample:

BEG, BORROW OR STEAL (BBC2)

Jamie Theakston: Where do you think Cambridge University is?

Contestant: Geography isn’t my strong point.

Theakston: There’s a clue in the title.

Contestant: Leicester.

PHIL WOOD SHOW (BBC GMR)

Wood: What ‘K’ could be described as the Islamic Bible?

Contestant: Er. . .

Wood: It’s got two syllables . . . Kor . . .

Contestant: Blimey?

Wood: Ha ha ha ha, no. The past participle of run . . .

Contestant: (Silence.)

Wood: OK, try it another way. Today I run, yesterday I . . .

Contestant: Walked?

What’s doubly funny is how the hosts try their best to help out a clueless contestant. Link -via Bits and Pieces

    In a very similar vein, Private Eye magazine has a long running section titled “Dumb Britain”, filled with dimwitted utterings from easy quiz shows.
