10 funny quiz show answers (part 12)

I'm not particularly a fan of quiz shows, but I do enjoy it when the contestants give silly answers.

"Cruise, Cruise, wherefore art thou Cruise?"

Thankfully, there have been many foolish quiz show answers over the years*, so here's another batch of amusing answers from quiz show contestants who forgot to put their brain into gear before answering the questions.

* As you probably guessed by the fact that this is part 12.

1) "Which of Posh and Beckham's sons shares his name with a Shakespeare character?"
"Cruise."

From the famous play Cruise and Juliet, presumably.




2) "Name a reason why a woman might marry an ugly man."

Thankfully, that applies to lots of contestants, as evidenced by the fact that this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features its eleventh round up of funny quiz show answers.

Nervous reader: "Aargh!"
Charles Fudgemuffin: "I did warn you."

However, as a warning for the first question, those of a nervous disposition should look away now...

1) "Name something that makes you scream."
"A squirrel."




2) Be very careful if you live near to this next contestant...

Les Dennis: "Other than crime, name something associated with Inspector Morse."
Contestant: "Murder."
