Really stupid answers from TV quiz shows.

[Condor68]

I cant remember the Name of the show because the ITV regions showed different things.We were a pub in Harrogate and the semi qualifying question was `Which Scottish
team won the European Cup in the sixties ? The answer I am sure Manchester United won it about then.Another was when England won the World cup (Ruggers)i where was the tournament held ? Answer Cardiff because they didnt play in England.

One from last night's Tipping Point that I will remember for a long time... (You need to have watched The Simpsons for it to be funny though)

"In his epic poems, Homer often refers to nectar as being the drink of the gods and which other substance as their food?"

Contestant's answer - "Donuts"

[Mike]

Yeah I saw that too, the other contestant thought the answer could have been hamburgers.

I actually (jokingly) said 'donuts' out loud as soon as I saw the question as whenever I hear Homer (the author) mentioned I always think of the yellow man instead! Wonder if it was a bit of a set up to take advantage of the contestants being under pressure/nervous? Still funny though.

Edit - someone has uploaded it to Youtube -

OK it's not from a TV show, but from Ken Bruce's PopMaster last Thursday:

Which 3 word title provided top ten songs for Human League and Madonna?

- 'don't you want me'.

Clearly the contestant isn't going to go on and do Eggheads.

'They wouldn't want him'

[Freeman Lowell]

From Wednesday’s The Chase:

Bradley: The Mexican giant cardon is the tallest species of what desert plant?

Rosa: Camel?

Later on Jenny Ryan told Rosa that she wouldn’t keep her long ‘because she needed to get home to water that camel!’
