    Not quite the same but good old Bob Monkhouse on one of his game shows -

    BM - "How many bones in the human body?"
    Contestant - Takes a guess
    BM - "It's 206. I've got 306, but I had kippers for breakfast"

    Was telling my Mrs that on the phone this morninng and we both pissed ourselves for about 5 minutes
    Bob Monkhouse was a hugely underappreciated talent. 
    Kind of a shame that he’s mainly remembered for being a game show host, because he was an exceptional stand up. And a good, if rather odd, person too, apparently.
    Yeah I've heard many that many times

    I watched an episode of "I literally just told you" hosted by Jimmy Carr over Christmas and it was hilarious. Some the answers being spouted! Jimmy could barely keep it together.

    Generally I find that geography or history questions in quizzes seem to be the most tricky for people. The lack of knowledge in these subjects amazes me, which has just reminded me of a conversation a friend of my wife's had with her a few years back.
    The friend said to her "Oh, you looking forward to your trip to Spain next week?"
    She said "No, we're not going to Spain, we're going to Malaga".....

    On family favourites a few years ago :smile:

    Q, Name an English speaking country.

    A, Holland.


    On who wants to be a millionaire , again a few years ago 2nd question in.

    Q, Who is the primate of all England ?

    A, A chimpanzee   
    I’ve only ever met one person in Holland who didn’t speak English. That’s better than I’d expect in the US or U.K.

    If you’re talking about episode two, with the Freddie Starr question and where Richard Bacon is in it, you’re right it was almost beyond belief and was fantastically funny. It did demonstrate how the show is more entertaining when the contestants are idiots. Hilarious episode but it surely can’t live up to it again.

    Saw a clip on FB of the American version of Family Feud:

    Host: We asked 100 people: If you had to sell of a state to raise money which is the one you would sell?
    Contestant: Las Vegas!

    Actually, this show provides hundreds of clips of stupid answers on YouTube!

    Much has been made of this on social media but I’ll happily put my hands up and say I’ve never heard of  an Ancient Greek  poet called Homer 
    You’ve never heard of The Iliad mate?
    Oooo get you, very cultural! Have you ever thought of going on a quiz show;)

    Wrote the Odyssey and the Iliad. The two biggest classics of literature from Ancient Greece.

    Anything you’ve seen involving Greek mythology, gods and adventures like Clash of the Titans, Troy, Jason and the Argonauts, O Brother Where art thou or even Percy Jackson are all heavily influenced by these epic poems.
    Iliad is basically a story about the Trojan wars. Odyssey is about a man trying to find his way home (from that war) getting into scrapes and meeting all sorts of monsters, gods and rum characters on his way.

    Homer wasn’t the only epic poet of Ancient Greece, and he didn’t write all of the best stories, but he’s the biggest reason we still know about Greek mythology.
    Ever thought of going on a quiz show?;)

    Ridiculous everyone knows Jet2 wasn't around in the 80s.

    Makes you wonder why stupid people go on quiz shows, perhaps its because they are stupid.

    Traffic girl Chelsea:     Victoria? Was that the one that just died?

    Newsreader Nick:     Nooooo.

    Traffic girl Chelsea:     Was it her mother?
