Guest Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Family Fortunes on Challenge this evening. Les Dennis asks contestants to name "a famous Arthur," and one buzzes straight in to say Shakespeare. Later, the same team is asked for "a slang word for head," and gives the answer nonce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Yes. The other family stole the board with that answer, which is clearly what he was going for but I didn't want to over-explain it. Arthur sounds a bit like author, while we're doing this. (And yes, old William was technically a playwright, so he'd have probably been wrong for the question he thought he'd heard too.)

Old Des Lenis had to explain it's not one but so many people said it they put it on the board. On family fortunes topic did anyone ever find out what Turkey Man was playing at, cheating I assume just very badly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the guy that just repeats the same answer for evert question in the final round? If so I'm sure the story was he inadvertently heard one of the questions being asked to the person who went first and decided he would answer Turkey when his time came, but then got brain freeze and couldn't think of anything else for the other questions. So yeah, cheating very badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted June 30, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 30, 2022 I like the Sopranos opening version too, but with two and a half minutes less chill orangutan routinely driving a golf cart it's factually inferior.

One of the best 15 minutes I've ever spent, apart from...well...you know...was watching "Funny Game Show Answers" on YouTube. Not only does it have the above Arthur Shakespeare, it also features the American equivalent from the 80s, where "Real or Fictional, Name a Famous Willy" is asked and BOOM! The guy is straight in with "Willy the Pooh" which had me in tears. https://youtu.be/R7ghDhpCLKM My hero Willy the Pooh is at 0:53.

It’s 24 years later and the pier near us reopened last night. This cheers me up no end and probably always will. My girlfriend can happily spend a few hours on the 2p machines, she loves them, although she'll never go to the arcades in Blackpool, where she's from. There's a small arcade on the beach where I'm originally from and on Christmas morning about 4 years ago we went for a walk past the arcades. They were obviously closed but they'd thrown out one of the huge hexagonal 2p pushers and she legit wanted me to roll it the quarter of a mile back to my parents for my dad to fix. I have no idea what she planned to do with it after but she constantly reminds me of my failure to get it for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
