The ‘funniest answer we’ve ever had on Pointless’ will never fail to put a smile on our face

We like a funny quiz show fail on these pages and this one is up there with the very best. And with a large part of the country going back to work this week, we need it now more than ever.

It’s an all-time classic moment from BBC1’s Pointless which will never fail to make our day better (and we hope it makes yours better too) shared on Twitter by @AndiMcLellan.

It’s an oldie but a goodie. Not just a goodie – a very goodie.

It’s from an edition of the show that aired all the way back in 2015 but – like JFK’s assassination – it will reverberate through history.

This is still the greatest answer of any quiz show

And because it got us thinking about memorable quiz answers, this was similar but very different, and not just because it was on the radio, a fabulous moment from Greg James’ Radio 1 show earlier this year.
