10 funny quiz show answers (part 10)

I don't watch a lot of quiz shows, but I do enjoy it when quiz show contestants give silly answers! With that in mind, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features another round up of funny quiz show answers.

Merry Wednesday!

To start things off, here's an amusing answer to a question from Tipping Point...

1) "On what date is Christmas Day traditionally celebrated each year?"
"Wednesday."



2) "Name an animal used as a form of transport."
"A turtle."



3) "Name a game played in the dark."
"Charades."

The Quiz Master

Regular readers of the Charles Fudgemuffin blog may have noticed that whenever I publish a new book or short story I generally like to promote it with a blog post, and this week is no different! My latest book 'The Quiz Master' was released this week, so in keeping with tradition, here's a brief summary of the plot:

The Quiz Master.
Available for kindle from Amazon.

"When the Deep Space Genesis agency discover the first potentially inhabitable exoplanet 'Nova Satus III', they plan to transport ten convicted criminals to that planet to use as metaphoric 'canaries in a coal mine', in order to test the suitability, and safety, of the planet's surface for human life.

However, even before the 'canaries' have barely started their journey, a mysterious hacker known only as 'The Quiz Master' takes control of the ship, and puts the canaries through a sick and twisted 'Last Man Standing' elimination game that will leave nine of the canaries dead, and only one survivor.

Who is this mysterious Quiz Master, and what are his motivations? And which of the ten contestants will survive?"

As regular readers of the Charles Fudgemuffin blog may also have noticed, I occasionally like to feature quizzes on the blog. However, whereas the quizzes on my blog are generally light-hearted and sometimes a little bit silly, the quizzes, situations, and tests that the 'contestants' face are somewhat more unsettling, and of course the stakes are a lot higher!

To give you an idea of some of the questions, dilemmas and tasks that the contestants face to determine who is 'eliminated', one of the rounds that the Quiz Master puts them through is called Moral Dilemmas. In this round, the contestants are faced with numerous hypothetical moral dilemmas, one of which is as follows:

How to be an entrepreneur

If you fancy yourself as an entrepreneur, then there's no better time to get started, as November 16th, 2022, is officially National Entrepreneurs' Day!

"Aaragh! I can't think of any ideas for my new company."
"Relax, the Charles Fudgemuffin blog is here to help."

Maybe you've already got a great idea which you're sure is your pathway to a money making goldmine. However, if you're having a hard time thinking of ideas for what sort of company to set up, then you could always get some random websites to come up with random ideas for you.

Either way, the following step by step guide can help you create your new company...

1) Create a name for your company

First of all, you'll need a name for your new company. After several brainstorming sessions and idea-generating workshops, I eventually settled on the name 'Fudgemuffin' for my new company. However, if you're stuck for ideas then wordoid.com can come up with multiple random names for your company.

The random company name it picked for me was...

Extrembled

Not as catchy as 'Fudgemuffin', I'm sure you'll agree, but nevertheless still a moderately okay name.

Amusingly confused

I'm confused. No ... wait! Maybe I'm not.

In all seriousness, I'm not actualy confused. That was just a silly way to lead into this week's blog post which features examples of people who are amusingly confused.

1) Picture, Picture, On The Wall

To start things off, presumably this first amusingly confused person has never heard of mirrors...

"Why do you have a framed picture of your ceiling fan?"

10 jokes and memes about jobs (part 2)

If you're a relative of an influential politician then you may have a high paid 'consultancy job' in a foreign country which coincidentally just so happens to receive billions of taxpayers' money in foreign aid, which definitely goes to help needy people and definitely doesn't get used as back handers for politicians' relatives. **shifty eyes**

Grumpy Cat: "Why are you so sad?"
Grumpy Clown: "I was sacked for being late.
What about you? Why are you so sad?"
Grumpy Cat: "Because I'm not the real Grumpy Cat. I'm just a look-alike.
I only get paid a fraction of what the real Grumpy Cat earned!"

However, the rest of us need to get real jobs, so this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features another round-up of jokes and memes about jobs.

1) A clown turned up for work late on his first day and he got sacked from the circus. He's suing for funfair dismissal.

2) Being a waiter isn't the most glamorous job, but it puts food on the table.

Funny signs (part 3)

It's been quite some time since the last batch of funny signs featured on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, so here are a few more...

1) Funerals or potatoes

To start things off, here's a sign from a company offering a strange combination of services...

"For funerals or potatoes please come to side door."

Husband: "I'm just off to Mick's funeral."
Wife: "Get some potatoes while you're there."

Who said it: Alan Partridge or Richard Madeley?

Alan Partridge and Richard Madeley are different in many ways (for example, Alan is a fictitious character, whereas Richard is a real person). However, one thing they have in common is that they have both made a long list of embarassingly funny quotes over the years!

Unlike Bill Clinton, Richard Madeley knew he was innocent.

Editor: "Charles, you've given the first answer away!"
Charles: "Oops, sorry!"

So with that in mind, this the week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog hosts a Partridge vs Madeley quiz. All you have to do is take a read of the following quotes and see if you can guess who said each quote; Alan Partridge or Richard Madeley?

1) [To Bill Clinton] "I know what it’s like to be wronged by the press. I was once accused of shoplifting. Unlike you though, I knew I was innocent."
