Another Pointless Thread

[Deanjam]

My favourite Pointless moment was when a pair of elderly Northern gentlemen were required to name three Adam Sandler films. They went for Night at the Museum (Ben Stiller), Night at the Museum 2 (Ben Stiller), and 42 Dates (not a film).

My favourite Pointless moment is the woman who guessed the singer James Brown was in the Dirty Dozen and was awarded a correct answer because of the actor Jim Brown being in the film.

Edited to add quote cos it's a stupid new page. Bah!

I think it was even better. She wasn't saying 'James Brown' because of the singer, it was just the most generic name she could think of.

There was another Brown as well, wasn't there? A politician?

That's the key. When in doubt, go Brown.

Nick Brown?

Most likely. It was a Labour guy if I recall.

I liked the one when no-one had heard of Denzel Washington except one woman who named a film she thought he was in, but it turned out it was Cuba Gooding Jr. Easy mistake to make.

There was a similar Will Smith one. There's a worrying trend of not telling one black actor from another.

Surely the Adam Sandler/Ben Stiller anecdote shows it's more a case of not telling one actor from another.

Bill Kenwright on Pointless celebrities. What a boring bastard.

[Morrison Lard]

These 2 teachers off that Educating Yorkshire thing went for TV Comedy at the end.

They got two pointless answers in the final, one for Dermot Morgan (Best TV Comedy Actors at the Comedy Awards)

Then they went for Brass Eye (TV Shows where Graham Linehan received a writing[nb]Osman said acting credit the first time though[/nb] credit)

Must have meant acting otherwise Paris would have surely been pointless. And The All New Alexei Sayle Show. And probably Jam.

For that round where there were clues to bands who had a name related to food or drink, my wife thought that 'German electronic band started by Edgar Froese' was Kraftwerk, because of Kraft cheese slices.

[Gulftastic]

Georgia, on now.

ETA, and her fellow player Laura, too.

Ha, me too.

But at least I'm not the lass who just said that the Cardiff-born comedy partner of Mel Smith was Sue Perkins.

[Gulftastic]

Georgia. She'll be back tomorrow.

[Jerzy Bondov]

I came home to find the wife watching this and when the pretty girl team were on I said 'I want them to win'. She wasn't looking so she thought I meant the two blokes and told me that they'd known Terry Nation made up the Daleks. Well, I was all in a tizzy thinking about these two beautiful young ladies who apparently know who Terry Nation is. But it was all a misunderstanding and they didn't know who Terry Nation is, nor Griff Rhys Jones. The fucking bitches.

A teatime quiz show that expects people to know who Edgar Froese is - this is why I love 'Pointless'!

There was a repeat on Challenge yesterday or the day before, where the subject was Alliteratively-Named US Presidents. The contestant's answer was, and I quote, "Lyndenberg Johnson".

:-/

[El Unicornio, mang]

I'm liking Louisa, even though she keeps looking at the camera like a crazy person. I thought Georgia looked nice but sadly, her accent broke the deal for me.

Also, re: yesterday's episode, I had no idea so many people in the UK spoke French.

[Swoz_MK]

My younger brother, David, was on today. Twitter is being mean about his clothes. Meanies.

[Norton Canes]

...and Georgia seals her place in Pointless posterity, attempting to pick the capital city through which the river Vltava flows:

"It sounds Slavic, so I'll say...

...Turin?"

I hope he didn't get too hurt rumbling with those crazy Sharks after the recording was done.

[Gurke and Hare]

So, I'd have won the jackpot two, or possibly three times over today. I said Josie Long, Daniel Kitson and Simon Fanshawe, and the first two were pointless and probably the third was in the loads of others.

Wasn't it David who got 2 pointless answers? Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Twitter.

ha! Still at work so not seen it yet, hope so.

[El Unicornio, mang]

Bit weird that Georgia is retweeting all the tweets about her being fit.

Bit weird that I know that, also.

As I answer every question asking the name of an American politician that I don't know with 'Herbert Hoover', that would have been a round made for me.

[EOLAN]

Off the top of my head - I can only think of 4 alliteratively named US Presidents.
So my pointless guess would be - Calvin Coolidge.
