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."
"Because she's ugly too."

I thought they say that opposites attract?




3) "Gambia is almost entirely landlocked by which other African country?"
"Japan."




4) "Name something you associate with the sea."
"Coffin."

The quiz master (Les Dennis) assumed the contestant was thinking of burials at sea, but even so, a coffin is a very bizarre thing to think of when you think of the sea.


A typical scene you might find when visiting the sea.


5) However bizarre the answer 'coffin' was though, it didn't come close to being as bizarre as the next answer...

"Name something you associate with the sea."
"Marbles."

Marbles? The sea? I hate to imagine what goes on inside that person's brain!




6) Here's an amusing answer given by not one but five contestants on the Ladbrokes quiz...

"What surface is rugby union officially played on?"
"Ice."




7) "Name something added to gin."
"Whiskey."

I'm guessing Alkie McAlcholic answered this question!

"I'm just off to fetch some water from the healthy."



8) Here's a question from Tipping Point...

"What word can be used to describe both a person in good health, and also an underground water collection system?"
"Healthy."




9) "Name a TV game show with the word 'family' in the title."
"The Generation Game."




10) Finally, here's a conversation involving a very foolish answer given by a contestant on The Chase...

Bradley Walsh: "What confectionary company makes Revels?"
The Chaser: "Cadburys."
Bradley: "Stop the clock. That is wrong. Contestants, what confectionary company makes Revels?"

Revels, pictured out of the wrapper
in order to avoid giving the answer away.
Contestants discuss the question among themselves...

Contestant 1:
"Cadburys?"
Contestant 2: "It can't be Cadburys. The Chaser just said Cabdurys and it was the wrong answer."

Contestant 1 ignores contestant 2 and turns to face Bradley Walsh...

Contestant 1:
"Cadburys?"
Bradley: "The Chaser already said Cadburys!"

What exactly was the goldfish-memoried contestant expecting Bradley Walsh to say?

"That's right! Cadburys was the wrong answer when The Chaser said it, but it's magically become the right answer when you said it!"
