#Jeopardy #GameShow #AlexTrebek - Zábava
What do you think was the most ridiculous Jeopardy answer?
Not knowing what’s the biggest planet
Alligator.
Alligator too
You forgot: “Fred’s Lube”
Recently: JFK in the 1964 election
To be fair, the "Long gardening tool immoral pleasure seeker" answer was what EVERYONE was thinking
I remember that match. I did answer 'rake' right away but 'hoe' makes sense 😅
You know he said that on purpose. Ken is the king of jeopardy!
@@jenniferh5649 That wasn't something I picked up on at first - that it could have been on purpose.
If it’s not hoe what is it
@@MrBrooksWimberly Rake.
“What is the age of consent?” Ladies and gentlemen...we got him
Aa
Chris Hansen was watching that day
Chris Hansen was there, he was just disguised as Trebek
i felt bad for the guy. Ooof!
🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾
Lots of people don't know they replaced the "X" rating with NC-17.
Bethany Hanna Yeah, I didn’t know that NC-17 existed until a couple weeks ago. (Also we have the same name lol)
Yeah, I don't get how that was supposedly embarrassing answer. We still use the term x-rated today, it just isn't the official rating used by the movies. But most of us grew up with movies being called rated x.
Yeah the narrator ruins these; you don't give a punchline at the beginning of the joke.
Agreed. Also, too much over narration if you ask me.. would be funnier if you just played the clips without explanation.
so many videos that would be so much better without that stupid, insipidly robotic, annoying voice
Jake Pullman watchmojo’s whole shtick is ruining content by doing whatever it takes to make it past the ten minute mark
THIS
What happens when you use copyrighted material. D: Blame CZcams and honestly
Bey-z isn’t a half bad response, they named their kids Sir and and Blue Ivy so nothings off the table.
William Strother, I agree! Especially with all the years of "Branjelina", "Bennifer", etc, she was guessing the same way I would have!
They named their kids Blue Ivy and Sir........ I feel sooooo sorry for them, Sir is slightly better but not by much, I'd rather name a child after a car, and I hate it when parents do that.
@@EchthelionII I've never seen a parent name a child after a car that could also afford said car.
@@ronzy566 My thought process on that is, the parents want a certain object (car, gem, or something similar), but know they can't ever possess said object, so they choose to name their child that, like Mercedes or something like that, I believe they think that is the only way they will own/have that thing or object. Funny, I had this same discussion with my mom recently.
@@EchthelionII I think you're spot on.
“What is the Age of Consent?”
*Chris Hanson has entered the chat*
This would've been funnier if you did the commentary after the answer was given, not lead with it
Yes indeed.
Or no commentary at all. Coulda been a 3 min vid.
wow you talked this thing to death. if it is soo obvious you don't need to tell us. i gave up in boredom.
Me too
That's just how WatchMojo rolls. Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk Talk
@@KravMagoo Most of their videos pair well with all the yacking, just not this one. Was like pairing cheap wine with old socks.
I was watching Jeopardy one time and the people were asked superhero questions. Here was one of the questions and the answer to it:
"What is the shockingly electric villain in the Amazing Spider-Man 2?"
"Mr. Freeze."
I was cringing so hard and it can't leave my head
...who.
TJMc87 TJMC87 I’ll do you one better; why?
I have never heard an answer SO WRONG in my life!😂😂🤣🤣
Oh yeah! I remember seeing that one.
I remember one showing a picture of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with the contestants needing to give the name of the team pictured....only 1 buzzed in & their answer was the X-Men. Like, how the fuck do you make such a moronic mistake given how iconic the original Power Rangers are?
Here's the thing, Watchmojo.
The What is a Train question states Asian mouse DEER, they ain't mice...
"What is a threesome?", Oh boy you've got alot of places in the internet to discover
Sure do!
It's probably best to not discover anymore. It will change u.
Im sorry but that should've been an acceptable answer. That seriously sounds like a threesome
However, it is a family friendly show, so they couldn't accept it.
@@WingZX1103 I wonder if ménage à trois would have been acceptable.
After 55 long years, Alex Trebek came up with a fantastic strategy game that comes out from our minds! It's been an honor to make a precise well deserved game, Alex. God Bless You. ❤
Alex Trebek did not come up with the game. The first host of Jeopardy was Art Fleming, in the 1960s.
@@jackhoran4225 Oh, I didn't know, sorry
Eric Avila no problem, I'm just older.
This one had poor editing. Narrator spoke too much and at the wrong time. Nor were some of the correct answers allowed to be heard. She just took the _fun_ out it.
Why would Michael jordan have been a better guess than Magic Johnson for most assists? Sounds like you guys also need to brush up on your sports.
Yeah that was bad
Watchmojo really likes to act like they know alot, clearly they dont
Jesse Sutherland if anything it should b John Stockton
Lol, I just posted the same thing! Should have scrolled down first.
exactly
From 1996:
“In Japan, when the doctor tells you to stick out your SHITA, show him this.”
“What is your behind?”
It was actually from 1997.
Thanks goodness the narrator explains how this is funny before the contestants give the wrong answers. I for one wouldn’t be able to figure it out.
Are we going to ignore the fact Mojo just implied Michael Jordan had more assists than Magic Johnson
I thought the same exact thing! Lol!
Chris Anthony they just made themselves look dumb af
Me too wtf basketball question=MJ??
I was like.. "Bruh?!"
I’m not to knowledgeable on basketball but isn’t magic known for his assists and hook shots?
Regarding #6: Just have to point out that "Mouse Deer" are a type of DEER, not Mouse!!
THANK YOU, I have never heard of them before and was greatly confused.
@@EchthelionII Yeah, I couldn't figure out why swimming mice could outrun predators! Even cats will swim if they really want to.
Thank you, I HAVE heard of them, so this bothered me big time.
Seems like the word "mouse" is what really stuck out to the narrator.
Where is that MIT student during Final Jeopardy who had a question about history or something and responded with “Who is the Spiciest Memelord”?
Maybe they'll do cringiest jeopardy moments
I laughed so hard! Still have the picture to prove the story too!
That was a joke. She knew she had it won without betting anything.
So creepy that Watson gave a wrong answer intentionally to try to make us not fear his super intelligence, nice try robot.
I guess it is a strategy to give a wrong answer yourself and stake very low number in order to not give others chance to get the right answer with a lot of money??
What is the right answer by the way? I was thinking Paris (France), but then noticed that the subject was US cities.
@@jukka-pekkatuominen4540 I know I'm two years late but the answer is Chicago
Ok.......um, #10 wasn't that bad
That's why it's #10 dear
It's great, IMHO.
U single? 💝
Yes, but I'm not gay.
I didn't understand it
OMG. the second part of number 9 is a line that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar HIMSELF said in the movie "Airplane", discussing Bill Walton as the unnamed player along with Lanier. Too bad the video doesn't explain this in any way, but I guess that's what I'm here for.
That's one of my all-time favorites. Alex should have asked him, When did you play for the Trail Blazers?
This is a 10 minute video that can be edited into a 5 minute video. So much nonsense talking to drag each and everything out. I enjoy other WatchMojo videos but this one is agonizing to watch. Downvoted it.
@watchmojo.com ease up on the narrative. Too much "well golly gee" wink-and-point narration. And the voice is annoying. 👍
What happens when you use copyrighted material.
these videos are unwatchable because of this ridiculous editing.
Thank you. 👏👏
😆
Why would it be Michael Jordan when magic johnson is known for his passing ability
I love that most people seem to be most pissed about rating Jordan over Johnson. But I'm totally on board. Get your shit together, watch mojo.
Because to someone that doesn't know sports, Jordan is a much more known name. So it would be a guess id expect to here.
has nobody here seen the movie "airplane!" ?
“A blow to the back of the neck is the punch named for this animal.” Contestant: “what is donkey?”
rabbit punch
I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS TO INCLUDE WATSON BUT I AM SO GLAD THAT THEY DID this is easily my favorite scene of jeopardy xD
I loveeeeeee your channel
Magic Johnson does fit if the answer contained "NBA" instead of "NHL." Magic was a passer.
I know, she obviously didn't do her research lol
perhaps you folks should do some research and watch the movie airplane!
@@kendallbrown9301 Why? Because Kareem's in it?
@@FURYBrenton yes. the "answer" is directly based on a line he said in it. besides, you should watch it because it's also a really funny movie. :)
@@kendallbrown9301 Yeah okay
They really out here sayin Michael Jordan had more assists then Magic 😭😂
I like how she insults the contestant for answering Magic Johnson and then implies that Michael Jordan would have been a better answer. Jordan never averaged 10 assists and for Magic you pretty much expected +10 assists.
She's dumber than the contestant
I lost on Jeopardy. Baby
Oooo, oowoooooo. It's a parody that's better known than the original.
@@scottcharney1091 I'm a big Weird Al fan so I kinda had to lol
Never heard of the carters...why is that a.dumb answer?
I would've guessed "jeyoncé".
This is comedy gold XD
I'm watching this in memory of Alex Tribek.
“Watchmojo” videos are equivalent to ingesting stale, horrible fast food burgers: Instead of heartburn, diarrhea and regret, you suffer from “brain” burn, headache and regret.
At least the guy answering Magic Johnson to a NHL question can be explained by him not really paying attention to the question and answering too quickly. Whereas you guys had all the time to prepare for this video, access to the internet, plenty of people to review it before you uploaded, and yet somehow still said Jordan would be a better answer than Magic for an NBA assist leader.
Jeopardy: Where Dumb Answers always gets it right (or wrong)
I love at the end where the crowd is clapping for an inanimate object
Even I know the answer to the NHL question, and I don't even follow hockey! Wayne Gretzky!
Um, I think "Bey-Z" is a great name.
The name Jackie Fuchs 🤣
“What is a threesome” Me: This is a family show Jesus Christ. Buttt it was hilarious
A hot gun sounds like Harbor Freight's name for a heat gun.
MY TOP 10 JEOPARDY Fails of All Time:
10. 3 people
9. Stick out your--
8. Most Populous Nations
7. Libraries
6. Toronto
5. Football
4. X Rated
3. Age of Consent
2. Threesome
1. Immoral Pleasure Seeker
The answer is: The protagonist of an omonimous game, a blue hedgehog who goes fast by collecting rings and emeralds.
Diego 64 who is Dankey Kong?
I think that was the answer they gave.
What is Dankey Kang?
The "common law" threw him off. Biological law would have been a better word to use. You HAVE to admit Ken Jennings "what's a Hoe" is a GREAT answer. People NEVER use the term "Rake" to describe.....well....a Hoe!
Next time, don’t put Watson on Jeopardy!
I remember a teen tournament from the early days of the Alex Trebek era. The answer was something like this “Benjamin Franklin famously quoted there is no good war or bad this.” The correct response was “What is peace?” One contestant replied “What is a woman?”
And yet there is no dankey kang?
That one never happened
When all three contestants knew nothing about football should have been on there. What’s worse, it was the last category to be played
I would be one of them, sitting at home watching and going "this category is stupid, no one knows that".
What is Age of consent?
Me callin SVU: Yes I’m tryna reach Olivia Benson please.. 😂😂😂
I know it's too soon but can you do a top 10 celebrites who should host Jeopardy?
You should have listed all the right answers.
Mojo never seems to run out of good top 10 lists!
In all fairness, Jackie was suffering a medical emergency when she said 411 instead of 911. She made several mistakes in that episode and later said she thought she was having a stroke
I've been waiting for this to make a "worst of" compilation. If this was a better one, I'd be laughing about it, too.
I'm waiting for a jeopardy category of "Mandela effects"
Titling each number with the silly response takes away the surprise.
I remember watching the one 411 in stead of 911 I started laughing so hard
NBA stands for National Basketball LEAGUE? REALLY? The A is silent or what?
7:37 Yes yes Magic is you clearly dont know basketball either
There Canadain
Peachlover Im Canadian and I know Magic was a much better guess than Jordan. If anything John Stockton would b the better guess
has nobody here seen the movie "airplane!" ?
Honestly, less Mojo talking. Just present the mistake, then add the relevant info and let the mistake stand on it's own without making a moral judgement on it.
Yes, Magic Johnson would be a better answer than Jordan for an NBA assist record. Narrator def messed that up. He has double the career assists than Jordan!
Toronto is in Canada! How a super computer thought Toronto was a U.S. city is sorely beyond me! LOL
Maybe they had intentionally programed it so people wouldn't be scaried of AI and stuff.
So what was the answer for no.1???
Is it JFK???
Chicago. O’Hare and Midway
5:45 I never want to rely on Jackie saving my life in an emergency.
I actually do know the difference. But there's a reason I went to law school!
3:05 I would have pronounced it as "ménage à trois".
Umm, WatchMojo? Michael Jordan had more assists than Magic Johnson?
Of course not. But it would be a much more expected guess from someone who obviously doesn't know anything about sports.
It would be like asking someone who doesn't know baseball, who had the most career hits? Or highest single season batting average? Someone who doesn't know would probably answer Ruth.
I recall one question (sorry, answer) that read something like, "These native tribesmen of Botswana might also share their name with Messrs. Chaney and Powell." A contestant rang in with "What are Dicks?" Never mind the fact that Powell's first name is actually Colin, of course. Alex was clearly amused at two of the president's supporters being called "Dicks" and made a sly look at the camera. The correct response, of course, is "What are Bushmen?"
Without knowing the category, one could argue that the contestant's answer was correct. Dick Powell was a famous movie actor from the 1940s. Now, if the category was limited to politics or recent history that's a different matter and you're correct.
@@marvinlateef208 well, true. Although I don't know if the tribes of Botswana have ever been called "Dicks." lol
I don't remember what the category was, unfortunately.
Couldn't finish watching. Too much narrative
Number 1 isn't a choke. A choke is when you LOSE because of it. That wasn't a choke. It was a taunt.
@3:54 That meme killed me. XD
And I thought I was bad at Jeopardy.
Magic Johnson played hockey shocking news even ESPN doesn't know this......😂
Who else is here after Alex Trebek’s death?
At what point does Alex Trebek say to himself " I'm getting too old for this shit?"
The girl who said “What are those”
3:06 "Stick around after the show and me and Roger will show you. 😏"
I've never friggin heard of 'the Carter's' nor knew/gave a crap Jay-Z and Beyonce had an album together.. condescending hipsters
I hate that music
I totally thought the answer was hoe too...so what was it?
Yes Magic Johnson would be an appropriate answer if they were talking about the NBA. He had way more assists than Michael Jordan. C'mon Rebecca!
watch the movie "airplane!" you'll see a really funny movie, AND you will then understand the joke.
Forgetting to phrase the answer in the Jeopardy round won't lead to losing money, but Alex will remind the contestants to be more careful about it. In Double Jeopardy or on Daily Doubles (regardless of what round it is), the phrasing rules are more strict and you DO get penalized if you don't phrase it as a question, but you are allowed to correct yourself before the timer runs out.
WHEN THE FATHER IS TOO SUSSY FOR ANYONE TO COMPREHEND
I still don't get what's wrong with Ken's "hoe" response. While it wasn't what they were looking for (what was the correct question, anyway?), it's still technically correct, so they should've given it to him. Hopefully, the judges did give it to him later on.
@Christopher Bingham
1. I've never heard of a rake being a term for an immoral pleasure seeker. Most people will think of a hoe long before they think of a rake.
2. Being different words was part of the "answer" itself. Having different spellings doesn't matter unless it's a requirement of the category.
How did "carrot beer" not make the list? That response got my mom and I laughing our asses off.
The mice could have been stowed away in a box car....😏😏😏
For her appearances, it was so funny to learn that Jackie Fuchs is Jackie Fox, the bassist of the Runaways.
Here to echo the "punchline-before-the-joke" complaint. First video I didn't like from this channel.
Jackie, in #4, is a former member of The Runaways with Joan Jett.
“What’s a hoe?” LMAO
I knew, “Who is Wayne Gretzky?”
My favorite was a final jeopardy about Disney movies and it referred to the animation/drawings resembling the real subject or using the subject's descendants. The answer was Pocahontas and someone replied with Ariel. So close.
*Alligator.*
For proof that Watchmojo’s terrible, she suggested that Michael Jordan (w/ 5.3 assists per game) has more assists than Magic Johnson (w/ 11.2 assists per game-more than double).
who are 3 people who have never been in my kitchen?
How did Kareem get the NBA question wrong he knew damn well he never played for the blazers. He just saw UCLA center and thought it was himself. I knew it was bill walton right away.
Her name is Jackie Fuchs lol 🤣🤣🤣
No mention of the girl who thought salenaphobia was the fear of mexican music stars? darn.
Wow I wish I caught the episode with the Supercomputer 😀
Lol I would've thought instead of bay-z, I would've guessed the B.J.'s
