D'oh! Game Show Moments

GiggleSugar — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 01:00:00 -0800

When the clock is ticking and the cameras are rolling, the pressure to think quickly can make a contestant give the darndest answer, reveal a dirty little secret, or altogether blank out- on her husband's name. The following game show moments are so funny, "I think I'll have to take a P," Chuck. Har, har, har! If you're in the mood for more, click here.

Miss Teen S.C. Can't Answer A Question

GiggleSugar — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 02:00:00 -0700

We won't even begin to dissect the numerous grammatical problems with this response, but we will amuse ourselves with the content of her answer. Miss Teen South Carolina was asked a question about Americans and their poor geography skills, and she responded with something along the lines of blah, blah, blah, blah...doing goodwill abroad. WHAT?!

More Game Show Stupidity

The contestant was supposed to ask three "yes or no" questions in order to guess "What's In The Box." It's a straightforward and easy game to play, but when the contestant has an empty box for a brain, what can we expect?

More Wheel Of Stupidity

It's called Wheel Of Fortune, but luck is not enough to take home the winnings from this game show. Case in point: this chick. She had plenty of good fortune on her side (ahem, the puzzle on the board was almost entirely spelled out) but not a clue in her head to solve this no-brainer. How unfortunate.

More Game Show Stupidity

I have no idea what game show this is, and perhaps that explains the shortage of callers and the host's desperate attempts to find a winner. But it's no wonder that it lacks popularity- a dumbed down version of Wheel of Fortune can only go so far, especially with callers like these.

More Wheel Of Stupidity

I don't know where Wheel of Fortune is finding contestants these days, but it sure seems like they've got a bunch of space cadets spinning that wheel. Case in point: these chicks. Or the chick in the following video. Although unfamiliar with our solar system, she effectively made a Uranus of herself on national television. Just watch.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Proof That Stupid Questions Do Exist! You know those people who speak before they think? Well, we got a sampling of them right here:

"What day is New Year's again?"
"How much is that $10 watch?"
"I hate stereotypes. We Canadians don't really talk like that, eh?"
"When I press on my brakes, the car doesn't stop. Do you think this is something I should have fixed?" -- Asked of a worker at an auto repair shop.
"If you record silence on a tape and then play it back with the volume all the way up, will that drown out the noise in the room?" -- Asked by a woman of her boyfriend.
"How do I tell the difference between the big staples and the little staples?" -- Asked of a fellow office worker.
"The Renaissance was during the 1920's, right?" -- Asked of a high school student by another.
"Where do you think water comes from? The SKY?" -- From an overheard argument about water conservation.
"Do you want specific information in general or what?" -- From an overheard conversation between two managers.
"I wasn't able to tape Oprah. Could I possibly come down there and watch it?" -- Asked of a local television station.
"Oh, honey, here's a watch store -- maybe they have it. Do you have any toe rings?"
"How do I get my car fixed?" -- Asked of a health insurance company.
"Isn't it funny how Thanksgiving lands on a Thursday every year?" -- Woman, overheard in a diner.

College Offers Class in Stupidity - Hilarious or Horrifying?

TresSugar — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 11:00:00 -0700

It's about time we took a smart look at stupidity. Occidental College is offering a critical psychology course on the topic of dumbness. Get a load of this excerpt from course description - which, by the way, misspells "Beavis":

Stupidity, which has been evicted from the philosophical premises and dumbed down by psychometric psychology, has returned in the postmodern discourse against Nation, Self, and Truth and makes itself felt in political life ranging from the presidency to Beevis and Butthead.

It's definitely not the craziest college course I've ever heard of, but it's still pretty out there. What do you think?

Were You Ever Attracted to Bad Boys?

TresSugar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:00:15 -0800

With her rocker eyeliner, all-black wardrobe, and perfected eye roll, Gossip Girl's Jenny Humphrey isn't exactly fitting in with the prissy kids at her prep school. It's obvious that she needs a bad boy by her side, and on last night's episode that's just what she gets.

Jenny meets up with a Belgian diplomat's son, who happens to be drug pusher. She seems turned on or at least intrigued by his rebellious side and ends up helping him with some sales. Luckily, original bad boy Chuck Bass (they know his name even in Europe) is there to save Jenny from the dangers of drugs. But now that she's had a taste of the fast life, I suspect she'll be back for more, especially since she already has the wardrobe.

Although Jenny's appearance in the episode is otherwise pointless, it did remind us that sometimes we can be attracted to bad boys - even if it's completely stupid. Have you ever had a thing for troublemakers?
