This trended No 1 on Twitter last night! Richard Osman said they edited out about three minutes of laughter.
Is this funny? I only ask because I want to know.
Here’s a picture of Lenny Hendrix

How fucking THICK is the country becoming. I know it`s bloody daft to make a statement like that based on the `Idiot Of The Week` but in my job I have come across people who have attended university whose knowledge and life skills make me fear for the future. Obviously I don`t believe that everyone who has attended university is thick,,,but.
As fucking THICK as they’ve ever been, it seems.
That’s amazing. When he’s saying “turkey”, yer man who went before him is wearing an expression that speaks eloquently of murder.
I can’t play vids here so don’t know if the clip includes her Pointless partner, who confidently claimed when his question came up that Napoleon was murdered in his bath.
When I was doing O levels, one of my history classmates wrote “Trotsky was murdered with a toothpick.”
And it was just as stupid an answer the first time this edition was shown 2 years ago!
Hold on though, 25 out of 100 people also didn’t get it.
I still reckon that, judging from Pointless, albums such as ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’ are obscure releases in 2015.
But we are talking about a pivotal moment in history just 50 years prior to that question first being asked on the show.
When the final round was Bowie albums I was throwing in Buddah of Suburbia, Hours etc but Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane & Heroes were all pointless answers
I suppose if the question had been who shot Lee Harvey Oswald then J.R would have been correct….Jack Ruby !!
….and talking about Jack Ruby, howja like dese apples, ya wiseguys……

Go to four minutes in.
Thank me later.
Sorry. I don’t get it. One child misheard the password. Were the team correct in the first place?
*sigh*
😉
On the plus side I’ve been daydreaming about Mary Crosby all evening..
I was watching this with my daughter, who’s 26. Another of the questions in the same round was “His assassination triggered the start of the First World War”.
I said: “You should know this one.” She said: “Give me a clue.” I said: “It’s the name of a band.” She pondered for a few minutes [we had the TV on pause so we could do the whole board…] then said: “I can’t get it. What’s the initials?” i said: “FF.” She said: “Foo Fighters.”
A couple of her other gems… I think the round was on famous London locations or the royal family or something. They wanted to know which road Buckingham Palace was at the end of. I told her it began with M. She said: “M25.” And she also gave an answer to a question about ballroom dancing – one of those head-to-head lists where initial letters are provided – as “Vietnamese Waltz.”
