Great Game Show One-Liners


“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
 .

Hi loyal blog readers, I'm back. I haven't been able to do a post for a few days, work pressures by day and absolutely sweltering heat at night. But here I am again.  

One of the things I did get a chance to do was find some of the game show stuff I had filed away. If you need a funny one-liner then there is probably no better source than programs like Family Fortunes. It's quite amazing the things that people will say when in a pressure situation.

The Funniest Game Show Incident I Have Seen


“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”


Just a short blog post today, but a real little gem.

This is actually a follow-on from Sunday’s post, “I like Watching Game Shows” which featured some US (or US versions) of popular shows such as Wheel of Furtune, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and Family Feud. I hope you enjoyed those.

But the funniest game show incident I have seen comes from a British show called “Catch Phrase” hosted by a comedian called Roy Walker.



If you’ve never seen the show, the idea is to guess the answer (usually a well known phrase or saying) from the picture/animation on the screen which is slowly revealed in nine different random parts.

I don’t know what is funnier here, the actual animation or the presenter and male contestant laughing, or the fact that the poor dumb girl contestant hasn’t the slightest clue what all the laughing is about.

Anyhow here it is.

Enjoy – you’ve got to!
