Simply post any awful answers or other amusing moments from game shows here . I'll start with the one from Pointless that featured at the beginning of the original thread: 



And then a more recent one, which I did post somewhere on the old board, but which didn't make it into the original "Funny game show moments" topic, so I think it deserves another airing:

Quote:Q. According to the saying, one of what bird does not make a summer?

A. Snowman
