Yeah I've heard many that many timeslordromford said:
Bob Monkhouse was a hugely underappreciated talent.Gribbo said: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 minutesKind 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.0 -
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".....1 -

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.Plumstead_Micky said:I watched an episode of "I literally just told you" hosted by Jimmy Carr over Christmas and it was hilarious.

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

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.0 -
To be honest, I would have given exactly the same answers as all the contestants:(0

On the Weakest Link the other night there was a woman who, when asked the name of the plane that flew at supersonic speed in the 80s and was a collaboration between BA and Air France gave the answer.......‘Jet2’.7

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.1 -
