In a Pointless first, a correct answer is given in which all one hundred people surveyed knew the answer. Please like, comment and subscribe! :D Thanks for watching! ^.^
So, 100 people knew the name of that film but only 89 people recognized a picture of Earth when shown it. Some of the scores on this show are ridiculous.
Leopold Slikk it's the Green sauce that originated in Mexico that is used for dipping stuff like salad and tortilla chips in to. And as I come from the 'Curry Capital of Britain' guacamole is also occasionally found in Indian restaurants along with the mint sauce, chilli sauce, onion chutney etc and also used for dipping salads or poppadoms in to.
I one saw one where they were naming body parts from pictures and a picture of a brain got 99. I was surprised there was even one person who didn't know it..
There was another instance of a 100-point correct answer. The question was who hosted the 2012 Olympic Games. Being a UK quiz show, it would have been mad if no one got that right.
@@peterbarnes1656 Most of us know that because smartarses like to bring it up. However if you're of a descriptive rather than proscriptive bent, most people call the clock tower Big Ben as its common name so its absolutely fair to say that's its name.
100 points for a correct answer on Pointless, happened again today, only no-one selected the answer. same thing happened with the location of the 2012 Olympics. Well, you'd really have to be living in a cave not to know that they weren't in London lol. But Timmy Mallet's song I wouldn't have thought would've been quite in the same league xD
MJ wasn't even the first. In one of the earlier seasons there was a round on "Foods beginning with P" where one answer (parmesan) scored 100 points. At the time Alexander had to look at Richard to explain what was going on. This was the first correct 100 on Pointless Celebrities though.
If I recall correctly when given a list of capital cities and asked to name the currencies used in the countries they're in, "Pound Sterling" (though just Pound would have been accepted) scored 97. It was even commented on, saying "I feel quite bad for 3 of these people"...
I'm going through every episode of Pointless starting with Series 28 Episode 29 and listing all of the 90+ point answers, plus anything that I think should've gotten close to 100/100. S28 E30: None, but 22 people failed to recognise that the Tower Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral are in London. S28 E33: None, but only 40 people recognised who the US president who Joe Biden was vice president to from 2009 to 2017 was. S28 E37: None, but another 22 people didn't recognise a pear when they saw it, even when given the first letter and number of letters. S28 E38: The Silence of the _____ by Thomas Harris (Novels with plural animals missing) - Answer: Lambs (90 points). Interesting that it scored so high because I've never heard of it. S28 E41: Image of a puppet blue postman with initials PP (Programmes on CBeebies) - Answer: Postman Pat (96 points) S28 E50: In a common phrase, someone who is calm or relaxed is said to be cool as this salad vegetable (Cool) - Answer: Cucumber (92 points) S28 E51: S_a_y (Members of the cabbage family) Answer: Savoy (91 points) S29 E1: "England" and "Germany" for National Teams at the 2022 Women's Euros (97 and 93 points respectively). England is the first one here that somebody actually went for. Also, an image of a jaguar yawning with the first and last letters given (topic: Animals Yawning) got 94 points, AND the same thing happened with "R_D P___A" (red panda), which got 91 points. S29 E7: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's N___ (Detective Novels and Short Stories) Answer: Nest (91 points)
Postman Pat and Silence of the Lambs both seem to be very high-scoring answers when you consider they scored more than "pear". I'd expect both to still be high but probably in the sixties or seventies, not nineties.
I don't know specifically about the novel, but the movie adaptation of Silence of the Lambs was absolutely huge in 1991 and went on to sweep the Academy Awards. It's still considered to be one of the best movies ever made too.
The thing that gets me is that the first 100 point correct awnser... was Honey I shrunk the kids. I've seen questions with answers such as EARTH fail to reach 100, some super obvious ones eve fail to reach 90 and Honey I shrunk the kids is the one everyone gets? really.
I don't know the show but I see funny clips. Is there a lot of comedy in it? Because if yes, then I'll start to watch it. I like 8 Out of ten cats Does Countdown, QI and Will I Lie to You because the majority of it is funny. Is this show the same comedy percentage wise? Cheers.
Yep, and the contestant in question was a pretty young lady named MJ. ;) In the same episode, she guessed that James Brown was in The Dirty Dozen, and it turned out to be a pointless answer.
@@zingzangspillip1 yeah but his real name is James Nathanial Brown, so you can’t really deny that as an answer. Keith Lemon was an answer on pointless once but someone answered it ‘Leigh Francis’ (his real name) and they gave it to them. They accept both real names and better known/stage names😀
Wasn't there another one of these cases where a correct answer scored 100? It was another one of those possible answers rounds, and I think the question selected was the location of the 2012 Olympics. Considering this is a British show, is it any wonder every one of the 100 people said London as their answer?
I once saw something like it's a number between seven and nine which scored in the high eighties. Surely some of the people being polled are simply taking the piss.
Has there ever been a worse movie title than Mystic Pizza? I've never heard of it. Presumably the 38 people who have only remember it because it has such a bizarre name! What was the title of the round? Just "movies released in the UK" or something?
Have people ever realised that this program is a kind of a reworking of Family Fortunes. "We asked 100 people" only there are slight differences with how questions are asked & in that in Pointless they want the least popular answer & Family Fortunes they want the most popular answer. I'd always thought wow they ripped Family Fortunes, but no one has ever pointed it out before.
But it is such a small and almost irrelevant part of the concept that makes it a good game . Being that it's about getting the rarer answers . And winning with the opposite amount of points than other games ask for . Like saying beethovens 5th symphony is similar to twinkle twinkle little star because it has a middle c in it
_Honey, I Shrunk the Kids_ is a 1989 comedy film where a nerdy inventor played by Rick Moranis creates a shrink ray that accidentally shrinks his and his neighbor's kids to just below the size of an ant, who then have to survive the wild grassy "forests" of a suburban backyard to get back to the inventor so he can return them to their normal size. It got two sequels, a TV series, a 4D theme park short film, and a theme park playground. There's also a reboot/sequel film on the way.
It wouldn’t have mattered if they had got it wrong as those 100 pts would still have been scored anyway. This is “pointless” not “point full”! They might as well had said it was incorrect but I’ve never seen the “correct” version of a 100 pts scoring answer before until now! Craaaaazy!
