Top 10 Most Humiliating Contestant Answers on British TV 

I saw an interview with the Turkey guy and apparently he had accidentally seen the "food often stuffed" question because the host wasn't so good at hiding the question cards. So he'd already decided he was going to give Turkey as the answer to that question and then when the round started his brain was all confused because he thought that was going to be the opening question.

Excellent. Relating to the first question about Dallas, I once heard a contestant being asked , "What happened in Dallas in 1963?", to which the contestant replied "I don't know, I wasn't watching it then." Fell off my chair with laughter. Lol.

"Sharon" is the best wrong answer ever. Poor Amanda Henderson. Sweet as pie but that was a hell of a blunder.

" *Naomi Cambell* " An answer from a contestant on Family Fortunes when asked :' _Name a bird with a long neck_ '😅

Look on her team mates face after saying Paris. Quality

Vyvyan, Neil, Mike, and Rick. Best University Challenge contestants EVER.

His face when he said homosexuals 😂 stone cold

Honourable mention to Sarah Pascoe for the time she answered the name of Simba's father in The Lion King as "DADDY" on The Chase 🦁 🤣🤣

Another great Pointless answer was a periodic table question where one of the contestants said Unobtainium. For those who don't know, that's the fictional mineral in James Cameron's Avatar.

'Cherry pickers, Bob's own'. F*cking classic 🤣

In regard to "turkey guy". Years later and now "years ago", his son was interviewed on an ITV "bloopers" show where this clip was played. The son said that as his father was waiting to go on he asked someone for an answer (as a joke) and was told turkey.... the rest is TV history.

"Homosexuals" LMAO 🤣

Australian version of the Chase. Question: which British naturalist wrote the Origin of Species? Answer: Agatha Christie.

turkey guy wasn't humiliating, it was legend....turkey!

The Turkey one is iconic

that last guy knew turkey was somewhere up there

Country. Ending in two consonants. "Paris" 🤭

The ridiculous reason for the Family Fortunes answer was the second contestant overheard the first give the answer chicken, but didn't hear the question. He assumed chicken to be a good answer & therefore turkey would also be. He decided to repeatedly answer turkey to give at least one good answer.

The "Sharon" answer was solely because she didn't;t know the answer but in Mastermind, if there is a tie, the number of "passes" you give goes against you. Therefore contestants often throw in a random wrong answer instead of saying "pass".

Pointless also had a school teacher who, when asked to name a US state with a coastline, said Mexico.

Why did he say so many pointlessly mean things about Katherine but simply made fun of the answers the other people said. He even gave Piers a few mild compliments.

8:53, Hoar, is correct as is Hoarfrost, but the synonym is rime. as in the term poem. Yea, I had to check it out.

It's bizarre that many people don't know which places are countries & which are cities. In another ep of Pointless, the contestant's answer of a landlocked country was Warsaw.

'Name a yellow fruit" "orange"

Anyone who watches 8 out of 10 cats does countdown knows that the scores mean absolutely nothing. The banter between the celebs is what people tune in to watch. The banter is almost always insulting to one of the participants. This supposed humiliation of Katherine was typical of what happens multiple times per episode.

On Pointless the category was countries who won a medal at the last Winter Olympics and someone said Jamaica because they had seen cool runnings

Why, during the 2010s in the UK, did sketch shows disappear & panel shows (most of which are awful) grow massively in number?

David Lammy MP on Celebrity Mastermind takes some beating. “Which Marie, together with her husband Pierre, won the Nobel Prize for physics for their work on radiation?” “Antoinette.” “Who succeeded his father Henry the Eighth to the English throne in 1547?” “Henry the Seventh.” Cringe.

'Mo, Mo, Mo' 😂😂😂

I love that the university for #2 is "U.M.I.S.T." Yes, he did. Spectacularly.

The best answer I ever saw on Family Fortunes- “name a kind of ache?” “Fillet”

The “Turkey” guy is a viral game show LEGEND in the States...or at least to me. Haha!

What about the time on Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel when the question was name any fruit or vegetables that are green, it was going really well until it got to Big Narstie, he said orange 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Brian Dowling's answer to Vernon Kaye's Family Fortune question (Name a type of Bean) is still my favourite 😂 Just FYI, his answer was lesbian.

In the 2017 Weakest Link episode, all the contestants were just *trying* to be the weakest link

In Strike it Lucky with Michael Barrymore there where once two Wrens on from Essex as a team and one of the questions was names of special hats... and they had the list up on the board of the 5 answers.. and these two names where both up there.. Barrymore asked the girl.. "name a hat a Bishop might wear?" and she studied and looked at it as unsure quietly answered... Fez... Well Barrymore and the audience fell about..and of course after recovering himself.. he had to do a Tommy Cooper impression.. "ahhh I was talkin to the Bishop of Durham the other day.. He said Tommy.." Then this poor Wren realised what it was.. and in a broad Essex/Cockney accent screamed "OH ITS WANNA THOSE IN'IT!!" and she nearly p*ss*d herself laughing.. and she had one of the funniest high pitched laughs you could imagine.. And it just made everybody else in the studio howl !! How they got that episode edited into 30 minutes was beyond me!!!

9.10 Even JEREMY RAXMAN LAUGHED

I remember one from 'Weakest Link' the question was Madonna has just done a tour called Blond what, the contestant said 'Tart' 😅

Tbf,if you see a question about Dallas,the first connection is going to be JR etc,not a politician getting shot!

The universal answer to all questions is : 42 turkeys.

Rosemary repeats part of the question like a broken record probably helps her answer but more likely waste time

Funniest answer was the student and country question. Cant believe she has A-level in georgraphy!!

Piers Morgan asking if people like Ian Hislop is like Ted Bundy asking if people like MLK

Turkey might have been a good answer to the first question.........had it been the in Australia, where they often have Christmas dinner on the beach!

That's why I don't watch quiz shows anymore. There seem to be too many people nowadays, who know nothing at all, including stuff that people of my age would have known when they were ten or so. It's rather depressing, actually - some people think that it's actually cool, somehow, to be ignorant. It isn't. You just look inadequate.

Back in October 2012, someone on Pointless said Anne Hathaway was married to Man Hathaway.

You should do a video on American actors/tv personalities that are well known/popular in the UK, but are virtually unknown in their home country.

Randy Marshs infamous answer on american game show jeopardy belongs here

How common a name is ‘Sharon’ in Sweden?

As a brazilian, I sympathize with the people who answered wrong, I'd do that too.

I can't stop laughing at the thought of homosexuals being known as "The Immortals".

There's another moment from Pointless where the contestant mispronounced the name of the soon-to-be former Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick. He missed out the 'ID' when saying it and it came out as something very different.

even Paris doesn't end in 2 consonants despite being a city😁

I’m a big fan of Mo Mo-Mo.

At least the top clip wasn't like modern Family Feud, where you suspect some people intentionally give a stupid answer to get on the internet

Sharron !! Brilliant

Quite legendary to f*ck up this bad though 😂. I low key respect it.

I always thought he was given the answer Turkey. His brother thought that he might get stuck on that one as he gave the most obvious answer already.

9:03 lmao

What? Who tf gets sick of Katherine Ryan?

Missed the one recently on Pointless with famous Van's and they had of Jean Claude Van Damme on...the woman thought it was Van Diesel...then to carry it on the bloke on the team who got it right said if it wasn't Van Damme he would had said Van Diesel...ermm Vin people??

Countdown numbers game: (9+25)-1=33 33x8=264 264+100=364 or 9x10=90 90+1=91 (100/25)x91=364

Never get Rosemary shregger on a quiz show

I would have gone for Dallas too, shoot me!

I swear they probably took the A level geography students grade away from her after saying Paris!?!? Turkey guy was closer!!

Always knew that Katherine Ryan and Maya Jama were thick so why would they appear on a programme asking them questions- that's right, thick people don't always think they are thick.

At least 'Sharon' and 'Sweden' both end in 2 consonants.

The weakest link ones don't count. They TRY to get them wrong just to appear stupid.

Good to see insecurity has been a recurring theme throughout Piers' Morgan's life. The man has a pathological inability to take humour directed at him. Genuinely turns into a child at the smallest jibe

my god, these people are using valuable oxygen

6:52 How could she not think of England

I’m afraid I only clicked for Mya Jama! 😍 Clever use of clickbait!

Turkey is a good answer for any question you don't know hehe

Number 2 on the list are real life Randy Marsh moments

3:52 - 3:56 that's sound familiar.

I didn't even click on this video and have never willfully clicked on any video this channel has ever produced; yet, RU-vid, with its stellar auto-play function decided this mess would be relevant to my interests. Pathetic.

some bias against Katherine Ryan there lmao

Why does “dog handler” sound like a euphemism?

is it just me or is the turkey guy Bernard Mathews? no wonder all he says is turkey

*Turkey? Ahahahah*

Q - What was Gandhi's first name A - Goosey !!

Its not Mo Mo Mo, its Mo Szyslak

at 8.16......wich langiage she's speaking? :))

That Weakest link episode was hilarious, other answers were finish off this novel, Harry potter and the chamber of .... warlocks Whats the opposite of North .... East Its a must watch episode hahahahahahahahha

I've seen that Turkey clip so many times. But what did he say for the last 2 answers. None of them show it.

Yeah, he did get the third one right, Turkey. Name a country

Weakest Link David Tennant failed Denmark's capital Mazz Murray said Rupert Everett instead of Murdoch

She thought Paris was a country?

6:14 sharon!!!!!!!!!!

2:17 Is it just me or did she say 125 X 3 is 175

Not quite sure how to spell what the woman said between 8:15-8:19. 😛

If your audience is so dim that you have to explain what the correct answer is then maybe the question isn't so easy.

Moustache man got what was coming.

Sharon

For £5000 and two weeks in Turkey.....

What about Family Fortunes again . Name a bird with a long neck . Answer Naomi Campbell

University challenge...

7.30 Anne Robinson..........Ferocious?????? Have you seen her on COUNTDOWN Worst Countdown host ever

Mo mo. 😄👌 you'll definitely win a race 🏃 if you're in a momo. 🚗

The #1 guy who thought he was being funny by replying Turkey to every question was definitely Peter Kays "Uncle Knobhead".
